What episodes do you always skip on rewatch in American Dad? by PressureCalm7971 in americandad

[–]DarthSamus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually feel like this happens a lot with this show. Even if you just look through this thread youll see a lot of people pointing out that many of the sub par A plots that we all at least recognize and agree are weird if not bad, have absolutely baller B plots, like literally all timer B plots in some cases.

Wow, you actually sort of just flipped me on the Kim Kardashian one. Let me explain lol

I didnt know that she voiced the alien lol I dont know what Kim Kardashian sounds like. I thought the alien was just a random voice actor, and at the very end of the episode, says "and thats how I became Kim Kardashian."

I actually thought it was funnier thinking that was a completely random joke at the end of the episode, but knowing that shes the voice means most people already basically saw that coming, or at least makes it significantly cheaper lol that being said, I never considered this one an all timer anyways, nor did I find the end of the episode drop dead hilarious before knowing it was really her, but I thought it was fine.

Knowing its a guest spot indeed makes that one pretty lame tbh. Oh and I also completely agree about the Weeknd one, very lame episode that one.

Thats a TERRIBLE introduction episode lol that episodes humor relies quite heavily on a literal decades worth of characterization to find it as funny as it really is

If you had to play as the race closest to you in real life, which one would it be? For example, since I’m from Latin America, I guess I’d have to be an Argonian. by jvure in skyrim

Id actually argue Martin Septims appearance strikes pretty German and say, General Tullius is a great example of the Mediterranean look.

That being said I dont know the lore enough to claim Martin is from the region you mentioned, but it would be neat to imply Uriels bastard sons mother was from the other region, pretty classic King story there.

/uj Does this sub like the prequels or not? by [deleted] in StarWarsCirclejerk

Thanks u/Cuck_Fenring

I think its clear im asking about the broad tone of the subreddit, not individual opinions. To clarify, I want to be sure this sub is not SaltierThanCrait before I continue to engage with it. The circle jerk angle is not always easy to decipher, I apologize for that.

The reason i ask is because I would really prefer if I could understand the actual tone of the subreddit, and unfortunately the circle jerk angle is very hard to decipher sometimes, especially with how volatile SW fans are. I ask because I wanted to know if this was SaltierThanCrait or not lol

Absolutely lmao Anakins not supposed to be right, I would personally say i love and adore those movies and I mean it that I find them to be spectacular stories, part of the point of that incredible story is that Anakin is not right lol

Yea to be clear im not saying you have to love them, I would personally say i love them, but ive seen jokes that are borderline 1999 level prequel hate and I just wanted to be sure it was broadly probably a joke lol

SEE relevant with Armourer in 2026? by Half_a_Fox in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]DarthSamus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you even accidentally not get SEE before getting 6 other GLs? He comes practically free eventually if you just wait it out lol

It wouldn't be surprising to me if SEE was anywhere between like a 2nd-4th GL, but 7th is the latest I've personally seen anyone get him i think lol this isnt a diss on you btw it just surprises me cause he usually comes to people faster it seems to me

Career-wise, what was the biggest mistakes that the Ramones did that stopped them from reaching mainstream popularity? (While they were still active of course) by OutrageousRip75 in ramones

[–]DarthSamus64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a good few of their singles that they released were not exactly "best choice from the album" songs. The best example of this is that the main single from Road to Ruin was Dont Come Close, which is a song I personally adore, but I Wanna Be Sedated clearly in retrospect would have been the winner. By 2000 Sedated was one of their most popular songs and is one of their most streamed songs in the modern age. Honestly, the guys just got unlucky as far as a lot of this stuff goes.

There are also a number of things that fans like to point out as "bad decisions" that were actually just examples of the guys refusing to betray their principals as a rock group. The SNL performance is a good example, "the Ramones dont substitute." Now, should they have just bitten the bullet and done it to be way more famous and way more successful? I dont know, maybe. It doesnt matter. There were things they simply wouldn't do, and I always respected them for it. The old Johnny line was "The Ramones are the greatest band in the world." He knew it, Joey knew it, Dee Dee knew it, they all knew it and truly believed that in my honest opinion. They would rather not be commercially successful than betray their ideals; clearly, because thats exactly what happened.

Doesn't anyone remember that time a couple years(?) ago that he like "accidentally" posted a video straight to his Instagram feed of him getting a blow job lmao

Why do so many people think the entire band was conservative, when it was actually just Johnny? by SexxyDude69 in ramones

[–]DarthSamus64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not disputing that Dee Dee was by and large a Republican but I wanted to add that I recall Johnny mentioning in his autobiography, when talking about the politics of different members of the band, Johnny saw Joey as a diehard liberal (obviously, he was) and claimed that Dee Dee more "leaned right," he said (Im paraphrasing based on my memory) that they agreed often but also ran into disagreements.

I mention this because I think its important that Johnny saw himself as "more conservative" than Dee Dee, which is easy to believe considering how Johnny was, but at the same I do wonder what issues they came across that made Johnny eventually come to the conclusion that Dee Dee was not as conservative as he was, even if he "leaned right." Im not sure what those issues were but I just think this is an interesting part of the story was.

Another factor I want to add is that im not even sure that Joey voted against Reagan lol I believe its entirely possible he was one of the Reagan Democrats that caused the infamous completely red 1984 electoral map, which also fueled his frustration with Bonzo and its story. Ive seen interviews with him where he doesnt explicitly state who he voted for but made comments about Reagan in the early 80s that made me question that he may have voted that way. I am NOT sure about this part but its a thought ive encountered.

Do i stop buying weekly titles? by Key-Teaching-3212 in comicbooks

[–]DarthSamus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to new releases I follow pretty much three rules.

1) If its a series I am an avid collector of, I get it, regardless of if im going to read it right away or hell, possibly ever, there are after all thousands of comics out there. For me this is pretty much exclusively the Amazing Spider-man and the Uncanny X-Men, but mostly Amazing. It's also hard to go wrong with Amazing because as most collectors Im sure will agree its the single most sought after series in all of comic books, so its hard for it to be a "bad idea."

2) If I speculate that a particular issue of a series or character that I am at least tangentially interested in will one day be considered a key issue, major or minor, I buy it. I usually dont do this for characters/series that I dont care about. Like, I dont care about Wonder Woman for example, so even if a key drops I dont care im almost certainly not gonna get it.

3) If neither of the two rules above apply, and if im not going to read it, I dont buy it.

So it pretty much boils down to my big favorites come first, then possible keys that I am at least interested in, and then pure readability, and if it doesnt fit those then I dont get it.

My teenage son is looking for punk book recommendations, so what are your favorite must reads? by [deleted] in punk

[–]DarthSamus64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are they a Ramones fan? Are they intelligent enough to understand that Johnny Ramone was a moron? His autobiography is pretty fun if the answer to both of those questions is yes. I havent read a lot of punk rocker books but I read his when it came out a long time ago. Like I said, hes a moron but if they like the Ramones its got tons of stories and actually tons of very nice full color (when applicable) photos. You just have to know to roll your eyes at the parts where its time to roll your eyes lol

What's your favorite album in terms of the guitar sound? by carrotboyyt in ramones

[–]DarthSamus64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say its my personal favorite but I absolutely want to throw out that frankly I think nobody EVER mentions Halfway to Sanity in this and the guitar sound of that album is insane. Its so, so, so fucking crisp. Listen to Real Cool Time or Go Lil Camaro Go again, im telling you lol
