Having seen the episode in question this evening, I can say without a doubt that that needs to be removed.

Looking for some stories?

Perhaps it's funnier if you've seen the flick in question, but I LOLed at this bit on People in Rubber Suits:

* In ''Night of the Lepus' this is how the giant killer bunny rabbits are portrayed when they attack people. The suits...pretty much look nothing like giant bunnies.

I just found something even better under BetterThanItSounds.Film:

* 50FirstDates: Remember Adam Sandler? Drew Barrymore doesn't.

  • And how we envy her.

From the Five-Token Band page.

The cover of every textbook (especially ones about health or social psychology) will have the Five-Token Band laughing together at something. The girl in the wheelchair always has to crane her neck up to make eye contact with the Kenyan.
Emphasis mine. It's just so weirdly specific and yet rings true.

Whichever country that entry's author is from must have really weird textbooks.

I remember a whole series of German textbooks like that.

Over here, we have a different variant. Any time there's a textbook about the world as a whole, the cover has to have a picture of either Africa(ns) or India(ns) to show "ooh, look how exotic the topics within are". Social geography, religion, whatever.

I can attest that in America, the 5 token band thing is in full force when it comes to primary and secondary educational textbooks.

From Dying Alone, I found this:

** Also, the first Lockon Stratos, Neil Dylandy died alone... In Space. ;_;

It would have been sad, but when you read the In Space part in a loud booming voice and then see the emoticon at the end... the effect is kinda ruined.

This entry under Pokemon's YMMV page, because it's so obvious and cool:

* Hilarious in Hindsight: Vulpix and Ninetales. They're literally Firefox!

I've discovered that the Pokemon pages on This Very Wiki are awesome. This entry from the series' Radar page made me laugh for the sheer "how'd they get that past the radar?" value:

In Leaf Green, there's a girl in one of those caves who tells you not to try anything in the dark - regardless of whether you're playing as a boy or a girl.

Rock Tunnel is obviously a popular hang-out for lesbian sex pests.

From South Park's character page, the entry for Saddam Hussein:

He is arguably even worse than Cartman.

This little Take That! on Took the Bad Film Seriously:

Ed Speelers in the title role of Eragon. You can tell that he wants to act so badly (he succeeds in acting so badly!)

I love the Irony that is pointed out in Rick Perry's "Strong" commercial under Horrible.Advertising. For those who don't know, the ad attempted to claim that Obama was having a "war on religion" and that there was "something wrong in America" when some kids couldn't pray in school while LGBT people could finally serve openly in the military. At the end of the entry describing the ad, there's this:

Matters were most definitely not helped by the fact that Perry's jacket was nearly identical to the one Heath Ledger's character wore in Brokeback Mountain.

It's just, how could anybody involved with the ad not know?

How could they not know? Easily: that's a really, incredibly common style of work jacket/barn jacket/chore coat. Cabela's sells one virtually exactly like it. Ariat sells one. Eddie Bauer sells one. Carhartt sells one. The Shepler's catalog has three different ones that only vary sightly, in details.

[up]Oh, yeah. tongue

Let's try this, from under the Real Life folder on Only a Flesh Wound:

* This guy walked out of a sandwich shop, got shot twice, and instead of going straight to the hospital, he decided to go home and eat his sandwich first. Bullets in the leg and groin? Psh! I've got a sandwich to eat, fool!
  • Those must have been some great sandwiches.

From What the Hell Is That Accent?, the example from Final Fantasy XII contains this Take That! at the world of Ivalice's attempts to sound thoroughly fancy:

It could be an attempt to create a suitable accent for the bizarre monstrosity that seems to be the Viera's native tongue. Mjrn, anyone?

Reminded me of this from Magick:

In Final Fantasy XII, the writers use the "magick" spelling and turned "technique" into "technick". It was tragick.

I got a chuckle out of the beginning of No Ending:

You say you want a resolution? Well, you know, we all want to see the end.
Less funny now that there's a pothole to The Beatles there, though.

Disneys Anne Frank takes the cake for me. Considering the fact that it's just so well done and actually professional looking, I'm surprised more people haven't stumbled upon it and have gone Google hunting for the actual film.

Also, there's an entry in there under "cameos" where it talks about Prince playing a nazi dog.

ADHD? Bitch please, those are battle instincts!
