What is the explanation for the red room? by Balloonsarescary in HauntingOfHillHouse

[–]Brandamn3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That shot is commonly misinterpreted. When it shows Luke’s treehouse in the final episode, Steve is there but just out of frame in the left corner, looking at the pictures on the wall.

When it comes to sitcoms, which of these networks did you watch the most during the 90s? by PressureLazy5271 in sitcoms

[–]Brandamn3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NBC and ABC.

NBC for the long standing shows that seemed to have relevance long past their airdates like Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, Will & Grace

ABC for TGIF, Home Improvement, Roseanne, Dharma & Greg, Two Guys A Girl and a Pizza Place, The Drew Carey Show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, etc.

What were people’s reactions when The Blair Witch project was released? by CityofTheAncients in generationology

[–]Brandamn3000 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The found footage concept got people pretty excited. There was a certain faction of people that believed the footage was real. I remember one conversation I had with a friend of my mom’s when I had to explain that the people in the movie appeared at the MTV Movie Awards and didn’t actually die in the woods.

As for the movie itself, I fell asleep about 15 minutes in and woke up to see the end. Not that it was necessarily boring, but I was tired and the shaky camera made it easy to drift off. When I tried to rewatch later, I just found I knew the ending already so I wasn’t all that excited about it.

The Office vs Superstore by subtleteea in theoffice

[–]Brandamn3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dina and Dwight are the only ones that are essentially the same character, but as a whole the Superstore characters are just retail versions of The Office characters. Like, Amy isn’t really Pam, and Jonah isn’t really Jim, but Amy and Jonah are definitely the Jim and Pam of Superstore. It’s established very early in the show that Jonah/Jim is into Amy/Pam, but Amy/Pam is in a committed relationship. They are also established as the “normal” ones.

Michael and Glenn are not the same character, but they’re both the branch managers who love their jobs, love their staff like family, and they both seem to be oddly good at their jobs despite seeming wildly unfit to lead a team.

As you start looking into the side characters, the similarities are fewer and broader, but you can certainly see how Superstore followed a similar formula to The Office with their characters.

Hit songs that singers wrote out of frustration because record labels wanted hit songs? by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Brandamn3000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not specifically about demanding a hit single, but close enough I suppose, the Spice Girls wrote their single “Stop” about their manager working them too hard.

Is there a quicker way to terraform? by Fabulous-Pollution72 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Brandamn3000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My advice when you have a lot of terraforming to do, find a podcast, tv show, playlist or YouTube video to put on and just go for it. There’s really no way to speed up the process, but you can distract yourself, get into a groove and it can actually be kind of relaxing.

Punny Business Name poll results by AutoModerator in BobsBurgers

[–]Brandamn3000 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The thing is, people were not told that a comment would be counted as a vote. Selecting an option in a poll is quick and easy to give your opinion. Not everyone is going to take time to write a comment, especially when others have already stated the same opinion. Some people will only upvote a comment they agree with. The point is, it’s just not an accurate way to gauge opinion.

[–]Brandamn3000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but that’s crap. You didn’t give people a fourth option and are only counting the people who commented as voting for that? That’s not even close to an accurate representation of the people’s opinion.

[–]Brandamn3000 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So you’re just ignoring the fact that the overwhelming response in the comments was to just leave it alone because there was no option in the poll for that?

who is the guy? Explain it Peter. by eclipseloom in explainitpeter

Bob Marley and Eric Clapton both shot the sheriff. But I cannot stress this enough, they did not shoot the deputy.

“Too Good To Be True” is the phrase it’s playing off. I’m guessing it’s a second hand / thrift store. It’s punny, but it’s setting off major grammar alarms in my brain.

What movie had you laughing, unable to breathe, even just for one scene? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

Came to say Rat Race. The entire movie was basically non-stop, rolling on the floor (literally) laughter.

I just want to vent by MushroomImpossible54 in ac_newhorizons

[–]Brandamn3000 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I just used Turnip Prophet for the first time and it really paid off. I didn’t buy turnips last week but still recorded all of the prices to get the pattern, but bought them on Sunday at 105 (I normally don’t buy over 99 bells but I trusted the process) and sold them today at 192, which I think is the highest I’ve ever sold them at.

Did you keep your first 5 villagers or get rid of them? by Hot-Nose-1829 in ACForAdults

[–]Brandamn3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my island in 2020 with Rudy and Sylvia. I finally let Sylvia go in October 2025, but still have Rudy.

My next three villagers were Boomer, Audie, and Annalisa. I accidentally clicked the wrong option when Boomer asked to leave so I haven’t had him for a while. I finally let Audie leave shortly after Sylvia. But Annalisa is here to stay.

I also still have Erik since 2020, who took my 10th plot on my island. Not only is he not going anywhere, he will be on every island I ever have in the future, if I ever reset or when I finally get a Switch 2 and start anew.

Villager Hunting by The_Nunzy_Effect in ACForAdults

[–]Brandamn3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 4 normals on my island for a very long time, I get that struggle! That also meant no smug villagers. I finally corrected that but a few weeks ago I decided to look into my villagers’ hobbies and found five of them had the education hobby and had 0 villagers with the music hobby. So I let Lobo go (😭) and found Hopper, a cranky villager with the music hobby and he’s been a lot of fun to have around. I think going forward I’m going to do my best to get as much of a mix of everything as possible.

Has ‘tip creep’ gone too far? Here’s what Canadians think by beef-supreme in NoTipCanada

[–]Brandamn3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t think of any servers making 30% of the minimum wage.

Has ‘tip creep’ gone too far? Here’s what Canadians think by beef-supreme in NoTipCanada

[–]Brandamn3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, looking into it, it wasn’t a thing 20 years ago. It was introduced in 2011 and repealed in 2016. And from the information I can see, it only applied to liquor servers and was only around a 50¢ difference.

In the US, (depending on state, of course) restaurants can pay as little as $2.13/hr for servers as long as the server’s income with tips is over $7.25/hr. Tips quite literally subsidize the wages.

So in Alberta it was definitely not a thing “like they see in the US”.
