So, as a counterpoint to the other thread, this is where we talk about entries that we find incredibly amusing and intelligent. To start us out, I present the entirety of Real Life, which had me cracking up when I first read it.

Dunno if this was posted before - sorry if it was...





In Idiocracy, one of the characters is watching a porn channel on TV (called Sweet Bang Tube), and the video is of a woman using her feet to cut up a steak dinner. It's less disturbing than it sounds; although in keeping with the movie itself, it just goes to show the declining standards that even porn has in the future.
  • Porn has standards?

Search the page for "Bruce Wayne is the Batman".

There's this humongous in-universe discussion about the merit of that theory.

The final line of the definition section of Consequence Combo:

Essentially, while some people inspire loyalty by offering a carrot, and some people inspire fear by threatening a stick, this person just hits you over the head with the carrot.

[up] What in the bizzare world? [lol][tup]

This quote in the Real Life section of Jumped at the Call:

...applying to enter the special forces isn't so much jumping at the call as it is running at the call with a knife while the call is deep in enemy territory and holed up in a secret complex filled with fanatical armed guards after you've been without rest, water, or food for three days in the desert and you don't have even half of what would normally be needed to get at the call.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Also from the WMG/Batman page:

Alfred is a Flash. How else could he find the time to do everything from take care of a 50-room mansion to run the high-tech Batcave without anyone's help?

Because he's the Goddamned Butler to the Goddamned Batman. That's how.

When no one was looking Afred cleaned 50 rooms. That's as many as 5 tens. And that's awesome

From Pokemon Headscrathers:

Why has no one pointed out all of the terrible things Ash and others have done to Team Rocket?
  • We have. It's right there in the article. As for the show… nobody in the cast likes JJ&M enough to care.
  • It's pretty simple. If you don't want to be electrocuted, don't stalk 10 year olds. You honestly think they don't bring it on themselves?
  • Side note: Best Space Whale Aesop ever right there.

The farmer who owned the infamous Mike the Headless Chicken reported female chickens continued to be attracted to him, which is partially understandable, given that he was now 4 times heavier than most of the chickens there, as well as the oldest. The art for his merchandize as well also depicts him as a headless stud. Mike, however, being blind, had no idea how desirable he was.

Somehow I ended up on the page for Flesh for Frankenstein, which I've never seen, and noted the last sentence: "Before long, everything goes nuts and most people die." Just think of how many movies/shows/real life historical events/etc that could also apply to.

The fact that someone got into a super detailed analysis of a song on Slut-Shaming. Wouldn't be too bad or funny. If the song being analyzed weren't Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jebson.

Me thinks someone is reading too much into it.

The Carly Rae Jepsen video, Call Me Maybe is a painful example of the contortions a woman has to go through to express sexuality without being called a slut. She sees a beautiful man, and is physically pushed by her friends into trying to attract his interest, because she obviously can't just go up to him. Then, ostensibly having attracted his attention through her zany sitcom shenanigans, she hands him her number, making it a point to say she's not a slut and never does this ("I just met you / and this is crazy"), before handing him her number and pointedly ceding all future authority and activity to him ("so call me maybe"). Then she reiterates that she's not a slut ("and all the other boys / try to chase me"). All so she can hit on the boy next door. One to ten she still gets called a slut.
I didn't even go into this much detail in my in-depth explanation of why 'You Belong With Me' is about a stalker.

Oh God, the page for My Immortal. It's gotten even funnier since the last time I read it.

  • Anti-Climax: Chapter 17-18. 17 sets up some fight between "Dumblydore" and Voldemort, but 18 opens with Ebony waking up. It's explained away in a paragraph, where Dumbledore "chased him off" (and then segues into Ebony and Draco having sex to a Linkin Park song...). Of course, most fights end with someone flying away. Rather like The Iliad, only stupid.

Never Was This Universe:

  • At first, Watchmen may seem like a case of In Spite of a Nail or Alien Space Bats: the timeline appears to have diverged from ours in 1938 with the emergence of costumed heroes, and more drastically in 1959 with the birth of Dr. Manhattan, who has actual superpowers. However, a close look at the details of the comic hint that the timeline diverged a lot earlier than in 1938. In the world of Watchmen, the famous Heinz slogan is not "57 Varieties", like in our world, but "58 Varieties". Also, apparently The New York Times doesn't exist at all, it's been replaced by the fictional New York Gazette. In our world, both the coining of the "57 Varieties" slogan and the founding of The New York Times took place decades before 1938, so the implication is that there were subtle differences between our timeline and the Watchmen timeline long before the costumed heroes entered the scene. With "58 Varieties", it's theoretically possible that the new slogan simply replaced "57 Varieties" sometime after 1938, but New York Gazette already existed in 1938, as Hollis Mason's autobiography mentions the paper reporting the initial exploits of the first costumed hero, Hooded Justice. There are also other differences between our world and the world of Watchmen — such as the existence of a man with actual psychic powers — that seem to be unrelated to the costumed heroes or Dr. Manhattan, therefore suggesting that world of Watchmen was never ours to begin with.
