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.

This entry in ObfuscatingStupidity/VideoGames:

A later'Meet the Pyro' video revealed that the he is utterly insane and views the world as a happy, colourful place where she skips around dishing out lollipops and rainbows to adorable cherubs, where in reality it is causing pain and suffering by shooting gouts of searing flame at his enemies. Since she has such a warped view of reality the smart/dumb scale doesn't really apply to it.

All referring to the same person.

And yes, there are typos, but that's not the point.

That's how the game refers to... the Pyro. In that video, the Scout says "He's not here, is she?"

From the Fridge page of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire:

Vito might very well be one of the better NPC trainers... until he meets Brendan/May, whose role as the Player Character kicks him in the Poké Balls so hard, he retires from training from the loss.

From Unknown Rival:

During one story, he is attacked by C-list villain Will O'the Wisp. Spider-Man's response is "And you are...?" Wisp gives a rundown of every encounter they've had, to which Spider-Man repeatedly responds that he doesn't remember any of this. Subverted by Spidey's narration, where he reveals that he knows perfectly well who Will O'the Wisp is, and is just messing with him.

The Narm entries tend to be amusing. I found this gem about Torchwood:

The episode "Cyberwoman," wherein the pizza girl who has had the brain of Ianto's old girlfriend-turned-Cyberwoman implanted into her (or something) tearfully recounts, at gunpoint, the time they went to the beach and had cheese toasties. If there is an award for the least poignant and dramatic phrase in the known universe, then "cheese toasties" is a strong contender.

This costs for the Alcubierre Drive amuse me (emphases mine):

The tricky part is, mathematically this requires a negative energy density, which in turn requires the generation of lots and lots of exotic matter with negative mass: a warp bubble (yes, Alcubierre used this term) large enough for a ship 200 meters across would require ten billion times the mass of the observable universe (though contracting the bubble's perimeter and expanding the volume inside it potentially reduces this to less than three solar masses).

...

According to Cleaver and Obousy of Baylor University, the required mass is merely one Jupiter, not the whole universe. And if Harold "Sonny" White of NASA is right in his proposal of altering the warp bubble's shape, it's merely hundreds of kilograms

How do you contract a sphere's perimeter while expanding its inner volume?

We're talking about man-made bubbles outside of space time. Who knows? (Probably the way there's more space per space in strong gravity wells)

From What Did You Expect When You Named It ____?'s Warhammer 40,000 examples:

One of the most glaring examples: the planet that has had some of the most apocalyptic wars fought over it in the entire setting happens to be named Armageddon. There are only slightly less planets with foreboding names than made-up ones: Typhon, Settler's Bane, Eldritch, Medusa, Gunpoint, Woe, Murder, Baal, Firestorm, Birmingham...

From Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

* What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?:
  • Given the Marvel logo, the fact that it's network TV, the TV-PG rating, and the 8:00 time slot, many parents probably weren't expecting the sheer amount of Fanservice, not to mention the fairly realistic depictions of violence and its aftereffects.

And from Daredevil (2015)

* What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Despite it being a Marvel brand, the TV-MA rating is warranted. The blood and language is enough to scare most parents away. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this is not.

I think the point of that statement is that Agents is a relatively family friendly (or at least tame) show whereas Daredevil is not.

you know how there are some articles (bonus points if it's about a show aimed for kids) that come off as Sophisticated as Hell, in the sense that it looks like it's all polite and then you see the it cuss? am i the only one that finds that funny? I can't list them all down.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow found in 2 articles: God Is Dead and Someone Has to Die. Granted, the latter is a quotes page which I just created, but I had no idea about the other one. (Indeed, I wrongly guessed that we had either a page for the poet or a link on Summary.People.)

There's a theory that Captain Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation is actually speaking French the whole time and the Universal Translator renders his voice into English as a classy British accent as either a dynamic equivalent of the dialect of French he speaks—presumably a posh, educated form of Standard/Metropolitan French—or simply because it suits his personality.

This made me laugh so much. I just like the idea that even in the 24th century, the French still won't deign to speak English.

[up] It's probably more accurate to French Canadians than anybody else but it goes along with the whole "French people are snooty assholes" stereotype. So that "theory" just reminded me of the stereotype taken to the extreme.
