So "FAMILY GUY's" quickie LOTR parody was just alright, but YouTube commenters 'having a normal one' about a single joke at their own expense right at the start is funny in and of itself.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
the word "warfighter" has been rattling around my brain like a peanut for the past three weeks. it sounds like the name of a badly translated polish FPS which got 42% in PC Gamer
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
man this makes me tear up
I like how Aragorn has different names for himself in different places in Middle Earth because he bounces checks or something
Yes, the Epstein files should be released, with none of the perpetrators' names redacted.
But, and hear me out here, we didn't need the files. We should have believed the victims, and listened to the victims, this whole goddamned time. All of these years and decades.
Ruin a dad’s week by saying the TV display looks weird and refusing to elaborate
The take that this post is quoting is doing an excellent job of demonstrating that even though Ossoff didn't intend it that way when he coined the term, "Epstein class" has rapidly become a stand-in for "Jewish" in the same way "Rothschild" is.
I'm mean HIS administration unleashed and exacerbated through incompetemce the COVID pandemic and the economic catastrophes that have continued to follow and HIS voters have continued to reward him for it so who knows? 🤷♂️
remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination
Shake & Bake will be rebranded as 'Tactical Dusting'
“Warfighter” is such a goddamn funny word. It’s like if they called the experience of playing a game “gameplay”
So now I know what idiotfluencers were talking about when they were saying "Boy Kibble" and it's just dirty rice?
Are they going to rediscover Hamburger Helper and noodle kaboodle from first principles next?
Cooked meat with rice has been a working-class staple in south Louisiana for centuries, where it’s called “dirty rice”. It's not "kibble", it's not a "trend", and it's only "bland" if you intentionally make it that way. maggiemcneill.com/2026/03/09/d...
I was just lamenting a few days ago about how I would never, ever see this, and how bummed I was about that. The old Millius KING CONAN script was pretty much a must read for all of us at Ain't it Cool 25 years ago and I'm DYING to see what McQuarrie does.

LRT I know that people have complex feelings about Pokemon Company vs Palworld and stuff like that, and I do too.
But I do think, broadly, that if you steal a character design from another artist and then put it into your game, you're a fraud and a loser.

90s media: THESE AREN’T YOUR GRANDPA’S MUFFINS
2020s media: Your Grandfather had better muffins than you but the immigrants took them, we need concentration camps to restore you to the muffins of old.
I need them to make toys of Wart and Mouser from "MARIO GALAXY" - I don't even really do merchandise these days, but I will get those
They really did it, didn't they 🐸
It's an entirely understandable mistake. The original singer took his own life tragically back in 2007, and he was only 55 at the time. People still put memorials up around his hometown, not far from here.
Reading down Rick & Morty The End #5 and we're actual geniuses this time, if you haven't been reading, here's the link to catch up NOW so you're ready when #5 drops, it's ~ambitious~ and Jarrett Williams (art) and Alessandro Santoro (colors) made it possible. www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Dani...
(because "Just wait until enough of one generation DIES and/or another ages up into a position of power" doesn't make anyone feel like they "won history," see, so there's no narrative value in letting the reality be the story.)
When "Millennial Monoculture" starts asserting itself aggressively (the way Boomerism did at the end of the 70s and dawn of the 80s) because that's the people with both population numbers and money, suddenly "The Pop-Consensus!!" will get magically rediscovered and no one will learn this lesson.
A fun thing that people don't realize because we used different words for the same mistaken assumptions is that people also thought "Monoculture was DEAD and never coming back!" in the 70s; but it was just Boomers still being "too young" and their parents briefly being "too old" at the same time.

ok I'm gonna say it or I'll explode
I find the short-form food video format of starting with "did you know" and then framing the whole instructions thing as a question... annoying.
"Did you know that if you [forty seconds of instructions] you'll get [finished foodstuff]?"
Like. why are ASKING.
This take is so abhorrent that you should have to defend it to the families of all the *literal hundreds of thousands of children* dying because they killed USAID. In person, to their faces.
“Sorry for the deaths, but”
Fix your heart.
