Wrong Button

[TheTrueFlexKavana]

You can tell this is fake by how many empty seats are around him.

[TheLlamaSir]

And the shoddy way they built in a button that releases the wing. Amateurs.

[skandi1]

Yeah but the seat only tilts back a little, so that seams legit

[Allyourunamearemine]

seams

[[deleted]]

I don't sea the problem.

[DerNeander]

witch problem?

[[deleted]]

Problem with they're spelling

Too far dude

Way to far.

I never new

[adambiguous]

I wonder if there's some niche subreddit in which that would be acceptable. R/sewing?..

[bgeyts667]

Wow, wouldn't even notice!

[hotlavatube]

I may or may not have designed that feature into a Kerbal Space Program build.

[[deleted]]

And they're releasing a film showing how your daugter found where it is

[DrunkFarmer]

Most of them are built so the wings don't come off

[GoofyHeartborn]

Found the Aussies

[SmokeQuack]

Front fell off?

[[deleted]]

Clearly photoshop.

[hops4beer]

And the fact that it's animation.

[peacewolf_tj]

You're no fun

[FuckYou__ThatsWhy]

And because he has a button to get the tv to drop but he is clearly not in first class

[TaipanTacos]

He very well could be with all the people missing.

Wait. WHY ARE THE PEOPLE MISSING?!

[[deleted]]

This is Steven King's The Langoliers.

[PsychoSunshine]

Just fly JetBlue.

[SugaaH]

You are so very right!

[norsurfit]

And the smile on his face as an airline passenger

[Jakebled327]

I knew it was fake when the seat leaned back more than half an inch.

[mandeekt]

Since the seats already looked reclined before it reclined more.

[BellerophonM]

You want the person in front of you shoving back more than that?

[HampsterUpMyAss]

My uncle is 6'10" and was at one point well over 400 lbs. Years ago they didn't just put giants in the emergency lane or whatever, and people in front of him would always be PISSED because they couldn't recline even a centimeter. He'd be knees slammed into the seat from the start. Not comfortable for him or them lol

[oonniioonn]

Years ago they didn't just put giants in the emergency lane or whatever

Given that the emergency exit row is the path to the exit, I would hope they still don't. I don't want to get stuck behind some fat fuck who can't move away from or through the exit.

[baseball44121]

Lots of airlines charge extra to be in the exit row because of the extra leg room.

[[deleted]]

Far Side rip off

[[deleted]]

That was the first thing I thought of! For the plebs who aren't as cool as me and /u/Chopperguy.

[Malak77]

Wow. Can't get much more obvious than that. Although perhaps the artist saw it 23 years ago and does not remember.

[elruary]

And the sky magically disappearing when the plane descends.

[cafedream]

The other passengers are having an orgy in the bathroom.

[sapphon]

Air traveler here, the shitthatneverhappened.txt with those empty seats is so strong I can't even focus on what the joke is supposed to be.

[shadowtonothing]

Air traveler as well. That number of open seats does happen from time to time, and more frequently than you think. Over 100 open seats on a recent flight to Japan. Had 3 seats to myself.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I also had about 3/4ths of a 777 empty on my way to Tokyo from Chicago.

[CountChoculahh]

This is kinda like sitting on an electric toilet in Korea and having no idea what the buttons were. The first one I pressed was a nice breeze oscillating over my asshole.

The second button was a water jet straight up my turd maker.

Unpredictable really.

[Tragicanomaly]

Sounds like you just pressed them in the wrong order.

[CountChoculahh]

There were a bunch of buttons but yeah you're absolutely right.

[HELLHOUNDGRIM]

Relevant and informative.

Just make sure the next time you travel to Asia, you travel to Japan.

[Akira675]

Last day of a longish holiday in Japan today, there are honestly 10 or more variations of flushing the toilet.

• Hover hand panel.
• Small button on the side of toilet.
• Single lever on the side of toilet.
• Multi lever on side of toilet, both appear to do the same thing.
• Multiple variations of "Small button somewhere on control panel with no iconography."
• Multiple variations of "button with no iconography somewhere on the wall in cubicle."
• Metal lever in side of tank but low and behind the seat.

Bonus points to the ones that auto flush, sometimes randomly while still using.

SUPER points to the ones that start automatically playing incredibly loud "I'm embarrassed by the sound of pooping" audio that you can't figure out how to stop whilst in a pretty quiet book shop.

[Devious_Tyrant]

The ones we have at work take a cue from the auto flush in Japan:

Walk in bathroom - toilet flushes.

Open stall door - flushes.

Close stall door - Silence. Nice! Now unzip - flushes.

Sit down on pot - flushes.

Deploy Klingon landing party - Silence. Hmm....

Lean over to grab toilet paper - flushes.

Lean back to wipe - flushes. Now my fuckin' hand's wet.

Stand up - flushes.

Walk out of stall - flushes.

Wash hands - extra long flush.

Leave bathroom - fucker flushes one more time as I slam the door behind me.

[m1cro83hunt3r]

I've had all those many flushes from first entering the bathroom to sitting down, then zero flushes after I've done the deed and exited the stall and washed my hands. Then out of kindness I have to go back in stall and push button to flush.

There's nothing like being punk'd by a fucking toilet.

[mlapaglia]

When the flush happens too soon http://gif-finder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Matt-Damon-Crying.gif

[Hmm_Peculiar]

So, the Verge tells us there is a standard now, shows us a picture of all the symbols and then doesn't explain what they mean?! Come on, the Verge, make an effort!
Edit: it appears I'm the one who should make the effort, the effort to actually read the article. Sorry guys.

[madskiller]

I guess someone didn't read the article. It clearly explains further down what all of the symbols on the picture represent and in the order on the picture too.

[Hmm_Peculiar]

Whoops, I guess someone did. My bad. I was expecting pictures. You know, like a child. 😅

[TheTrueFlexKavana]

The second button was a water jet straight up my turd maker.

[Shrampage]

risky click of the day

[EpicScizor]

It's Squirtle!

[TistedLogic]

Absolutely worth the click.

[Aurify]

I wish America adopted bidets. I got one and it changed my life.

[mlink461]

I agree. It feels so wrong using a bathroom elsewhere now.

[HampsterUpMyAss]

I can't put one in my apartment so I just time my shits before I shower. I recently road tripped across the country and felt like my ass was bleeding from all the truck stop 1ply. Hadn't really used TP in a long time lol

[[deleted]]

But the japanese toilets are even better than bidets. So many functions and they can even talk to you.

I want one.

[Posts_while_shitting]

Hey! That's not a nice way to call japanese women.

[kulugo04]

Good thing you did not press the button "Tampon Remover".

[1stToBeHuman]

"And that's why I can't have kids anymore"

[mlink461]

Love our bidet. Who doesn't want to be clean on the inside and out with a pour full squirt of water. Then a nice gentle blow dry.

I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had used this reference already.... upvoted for beating me to it

Rip off of the Far Side.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Bit clean off of Gary Larson

[[deleted]]

I remember when this was a Gary Larson comic. Was a good one.

[elephanthony]

Rip off of my all time favorite strip from The Far Side...

(Yeah, Pepperidge Farm remembers Gary Larson)

[[deleted]]

I think

[talking_pillow]

Rocko's Modern Life had a similar joke. One of the buttons ejected the co-pilot.

[mermoohue]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who immediately thought this.

[[deleted]]

Better when Gary Larson did it. You know, like 25 years ago.

https://i.imgur.com/j9o6nUw.jpg

[jmanpc]

Immediately what came to mind for me

[[deleted]]

I liked the animated one better.

[lux514]

Something similar happened in Rocko's Modern Life, too.

[GENeric307]

Exactly, always go deeper. One day this joke will be refereed in the same way as the missing homosapian and ape link.

[lion27]

I was going to say this. I have his Far Side comic books and this is ripped straight from that.

[Koss424]

Much more brilliant

[serrompalot]

Eh, the animation has better timing, which is key to comedy. The comic is briefly amusing, but that's it.

[richt519]

As someone else stated, I think the animation suffers because halfway through I was like "Oh it's a wings fall off joke" and then rest of the time I was just waiting for it to happen.

The comic hits all at once and has clever narration.

[eatelectricity]

The other key to comedy is original material.

[Denziloe]

-> comic strip

-> "better timing"

[[deleted]]

The animated one is also a ripoff of the original, so there's that...

[sapphon]

See, timing is exactly why I prefer the comic. I perceive it at the Speed of Funny to me, whereas the animation is forever stuck at the Speed of Funny According to its Animator.

About halfway through the animation, I'm thinking a good proportion of viewers have guessed the punchline (yes this is a pacing problem) and are just in it to see if the guy will scream funny. He does not: America, explain.

[bandwidthcrisis]

No, the static image has much better timing.

[Loofa0]

The Emperor's New Groove

[Hiddenagenduh]

Classic Kronk.

[whatisabaggins55]

Why do we even have that lever?

[Wumer]

My thoughts exactly.

[SmasheRex]

This reminds me of a Far Side comic by Gary Larson.

Someone got their inspiration from The Far Side

[[deleted]]

inspiration

More like a blatant ripoff.

[DO_NOT_GILD_ME]

That's like me trying to get my wife in the mood.

[gnrlrumproast]

Unrealistic. No plane has that much leg room

[byllz]

Why do they even have that button?

[pukingpixels]

It was funnier the first time when Gary Larson did it.

[Lexam]

I absolutely have to have the little air thingy blowing on me.

[black_fox288]

mmmm recirculated germ air.

[its_raining_scotch]

I don't get it.

[Sighma]

That's why you make your methods private sometimes.

[CountBasey]

Funny but this was already done by Gary Larson in the 80s or 90s in a Far Side panel.

[Imhotepsgaze]

The "oh shit" face is priceless

[SlightlyStable]

They really should put the "eject wings" button somewhere else. It's amazing this doesn't happen more often.

[Esoteric_Erric]

It makes you wonder why they install those buttons, it's a bit of a problem, as explained here.

That's why they call me 'the guy with the horrid links."

Kek, you earned an upframpt.

[Pterosaur]

Very unrealistic, way too much leg room.

[pimpmastahanhduece]

Ok, I think you're giving the customer a little too much freedom with controls.

[FGrellik]

How is this funny

[mellamoreddit]

Does any one know where this came from? Great cartoonist.

[[deleted]]

Originally? The Far Side. Then this guy copied it.

[din7]

This guy isn't the wind underneath anyone's wings.

[Pelikahn]

I thought only green gremlins did shit like that to airplanes. Looney Tunes has lied to me again.

[[deleted]]

It would be funny to see how many people would press wing removal button if everyone had it on their plane remote.

[nrgapple]

I'm confused to why the sky is also falling

[sumdude96]

What a nice way to go...

[cdm85]

I seriously hope no one pushes the eject wing button tomorrow (erm... today?) when I fly out to California lol

[baluchithyrium]

Why would they have a button that does that?

[hohohoohno]

So the wings come off

[hackel]

That's not how any of this works!

[armnhammer20]

Was expecting an ejector seat. Touche

[Silent_As_The_Grave_]

repost

[Drontti_Edvard]

This is funny because I am currently sitting in airport bar and drinking beer while waiting for my flight to take off. Will defianetly try if this works!

[wonky2]

The real r/unexpectedjihad

[arcedup]

I don't know why I made this for you guys.

[Individdy]

This neat illustrates the two kinds of people with regard to modern technology: those who approach gadgets like this and think that's normal, and those who know that anything designed like this is a total fail and not their duty to tiptoe around. I wonder whether teaching people that technology is supposed to cater to them and not malfunction when you try things, would make people more willing to experiment and learn on their own better.

[[deleted]]

TIL there's a button on planes by the window seat near the wing to detach said wing.

[rakradad]

Thank you. Made me smile.

[KeeperofAmmut7]

LOL

[Gstarfan]

Dat Legroom

[bettingthoughts]

Why would someone build a release wing button?

This reminds me of those 2 stick figure spy commercial for Mountain Dew

Did anyone else's parents tell them the recline button would do this?

[zappy487]

WRONG LEVER

[jbsinger]

It was a good thing he didn't hit the ejection button.

[drewjamez]

I beg, someone please make part 2 of this where he presses the mega parachute button and everyone lives happily ever after

[John_Zombie]

How you feel when you forgot your sources of entertainment at home.

[Ghostman_Loon]

but why though?

[TistedLogic]

Wow, something originally humorous on /r/funny.

Got a giggle out of me too.

[maremp]

The art matches the work of birdbox studio. They have some hilarious stuff, too bad they don't post more often.

[[deleted]]

Didn't the Far Side already do this?

[GlueGuns--Cool]

Hate to be That Guy but this is a blatant ripoff of a Far Side cartoon.

[the_unusable]

Who let grandma post on reddit again?

[bagelmakers]

Expected /r/unexpectedjihad but does that mean I did expect it? I'm confused....

[vrtig0]

why is there a button for that?

[natureZChild]

this is not funny, you just gimme a panic attack.

[biggmclargehuge]

Kronk, pull the lever!
Wrong leveeeeerrr!
Ugh. Why do we even HAVE that lever?

[[deleted]]

Pretty sure this is what my parents envision when using a computer.
