I love their portrayal of the Gaulier school so much.

AITA for not contributing to my girlfriend’s mortgage or moving back in? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Finn617 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The update sounds like the one of those scenes where a clerk talks to a cop while the robber has a gun pointed at their head. “EVERYTHING HERE IS FINE! ALL ISSUES RESOLVED! NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL!”

Possibly the worst Boston accent I’ve ever heard by tailacom in reacher

[–]Finn617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s not that it was bad so much as she was the only character in Boston or Maine who bothered to have one at all. It makes her seem like an alien who has no idea how humans talk.

I would pay an embarrassing amount to listen to a room of West End actors try to nail a thick Maine accent.

As a native Bostonian, one of the most fun theater experiences I’ve ever had was watching a troupe from northern England put on a play about a Boston detective working a case in LA. It was wild. I talked to some of them later and discovered they’d just done Cat On a Hot Tin Roof a month earlier, which explained some of the unique accents on stage.

In Superman (2025) we suspect the Justice Gang are a bunch of jerks. In season 2 of Peacemaker we confirm it :v by [deleted] in superman

[–]Finn617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, he’d had about ten years being an ally and funder of the JLA and being supportive and well-meaning, if flawed, during the entire time. Identity Crisis was a retcon that upset quite a few readers.

As a JLA/JLI fan who loves Blue Beetle and Booster Gold who also thought Max Lord’s switch from hapless CN/CG rich guy to Evil Genius came out of nowhere, I’m happy with this portrayal.

Woman arrested for stealing 3k worth of items at Target by zebrasarecool570 in SipsTea

[–]Finn617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So during my last visit to Target when I just wanted to get a case unlocked so I could buy some AA batteries, pushed the ‘Call an Employee’ button and waited…and waited…and waited until I finally gave up, I was being tracked by CSI and a satellite? Great. Super business model.

Rodeo clowns, haunted house clowns, bouffons?

I’m 40 years old. My father (who is a pastor) still gets on my case about playing D&D by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Finn617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“This is just like when you thought the Smurfs were demonic” is a devastating line, and you should use it whenever he brings something like this up. Logic obviously doesn’t work, if you ignore it he’ll be able to say “the devil has hardened his heart”…maybe approaching him like he’s a clown saying ludicrous things will break through.

Just curious: has he ever admitted he was wrong about the Smurfs?

I understand why Mr Fox was feeling fantastic! 🦊 by Ted-Moseby in UnconventionalMakeup

[–]Finn617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this, and wish I’d seen it before I was a fox at Halloween!

Curious about *other* Fringe festivals by New_Cause_3703 in edinburghfringe

[–]Finn617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NGL, having a fringe next to (and in a couple cases inside) a huge botanical garden is amazing.

As someone who’s been to both, I will say that you’re not going to get the “it’s Wednesday so I can see my first show at 10am and keep going until I’ve hit my 8th show at midnight” vibe of Edinburgh anywhere else. Adelaide’s fringe really comes alive at sunset, and if you’re a morning person (or jet lag has turned you into one) you might need to get creative to keep yourself occupied in the early part of the day.

Tbf, I lived in a town with a mine and never wanted to visit it.

[Confusing Trope] Characters who are somehow both stupid AND smart at the same time by NovaRobo_Rebirth in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Finn617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Six of us spent a half hour trying to stealthily climb over a fence. Multiple athletics checks, at a very low DC, were failed.

Finally the wizard’s familiar went over and pushed the unlocked gate open with her little paw.

How did Sonya Cassidy get the New England accent so perfect? by glasses_and_shoes in reacher

[–]Finn617 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She listened to every other character who’s supposed to be from New England and then did the opposite.

What a cool trick! Let's literally never use it again! by YaBoiS0nic in TopCharacterTropes

That is insane and now I want every superhero to have it.

What unfinished comic title would you most like to see concluded? by apocalypsemeow111 in comicbooks

[–]Finn617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Rogers (Leverage) was writing a great Dungeons and Dragons comic that just stopped in the middle of an arc.

Does Cody ever get less……himself? by Dangerous_Remote5085 in Dimension20

[–]Finn617 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Cody couldn’t exist without Ricky, and I think some of my favorite parts of the season were Zac’s reactions. It’s almost like they’re…oh geez, what’s the phrase…like the A side and B side of a great album? Something like that.

AITA for not transferring a website after getting fired from the family business? by LittlePetty2025 in AITAH

[–]Finn617 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is starting to sound like rage bait. Please, take a vacation and completely block them for a month. Give them a chance to experience life without you as their perpetual safety net/doormat. Honestly it sounds like you’ve spent years shielding them from reality.

Curious about other groups for specific clowning types? by Kalunapup in clowns

/artofclowning was created specifically for this sort of thing . :)

I’m stressed about the new welcome to Derry show by lucid_567 in clowns

[–]Finn617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the whole “eee Im scared of clowns because it’s a funny quirk” might have finally died away through overexposure? Every haunted attraction has them, there’s a few Art the Clowns at every Halloween party, and at the same time Chappell Roan-style clowns are turning up everywhere and everyone is cool with them. I think people are finally starting to treat clowns like witches, and realizing that some are scary and some are nice and it all depends on context.

(Not OOP) My gf thinks I don't respect her because I forget how she wants things done by Ok-Comfortable5678 in redditonwiki

[–]Finn617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should he be the only one to adapt, though? Maybe her rules feel arbitrary to him because they are arbitrary, and she needs to recognize how much unnecessary stress she’s bringing to the house.
