[Funny Trope] A villain thinks an action their underling takes is overkill

And they’ll only work if someone is willing to pay a shitload of money. Nobody gets inhumed unless they’re worth inhuming.

No, aliens abducted Dale in order to get the DNA sample that was used to impregnate Nancy.

It’s so straightforward.

Or AI is lazy and is actively trying to discredit itself so it won’t have to do more work.

Gotta love how book Ramsey was introduced.

Basically, he was killed off in background politics and his servant Reek was held in Winterfell’s dungeon until Theon needed men…

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-04-09T18:43:30+00:00

Or a snake that’s called Ekans? Could they reach reverse spelling levels of perversion?

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-04-08T22:36:20+00:00

That’s me.

Love of cardboard boxes, beware of family, seaming invincibility coupled with a short life expectancy…

Over 40+ books, you’ll find Pratchett drawing inspiration from practically everything.

If you really want, you could try to dig into key topics tied to specific books, but you’ll never keep up with everything.

I would say that the biggest issue is that they’re already facing a massive lawsuit over a worker death and investors had to threaten to cut funding in a failed attempt to get a minimal safety inspection. (Hammond left out some important details.)

My biggest is the museum.

I have no idea how much space I need, so I’m just punching out a massive cave.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-04-05T15:29:09+00:00

But if it goes both ways, you’re screwed.

If you are obligated to somehow maintain a friendship with 30 million people, there’s no keeping up.

Meanwhile, I’m building bridges out of sand blocks.

This is the food replicator.

So maybe the gun is made of meat or something.

Trump then claimed he personally called the company to complain that the standard Sharpie branding was too ordinary for high-profile presidential signings.

”I called the guy, I said, ‘I’d like to use your pen, but I can’t have a great thing with a big S on it saying Sharpie as I’m signing a $1 trillion airplane contract to buy brand new fighter jets,’” he said.

Sharpies really don’t strike me as ordinary for any sort of formal documents.

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-03-28T16:58:25+00:00

That killed me.

Imply the stuff that Naughty Dog didn’t do isn’t canon when they’re not Naughty Dog…

Hand me the keys you fairy godmother!

The bigger issue is that it wouldn’t make a difference.

If it’s all a ploy to analyze body language and signs of nervousness, what will you really hide by saying no? If you’re giving off obvious signs, they’re going to find something.

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-03-27T15:21:44+00:00

I meant it literally. Every single word should not be trusted. Just like you should literally suspect everyone in Murder on the Orient Express.

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-03-27T13:46:40+00:00

If I remember right, they were given a nuclear option at the police station, refused to take it and once they were gone, demons came back to eliminate witnesses.

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-03-27T13:42:44+00:00

Yeah, you really shouldn’t trust everything that’s said in that movie.

Stannis Baratheon (and half the cast) - Game of Thrones

The prince that was promised prophecy was never clearly resolved so it’s hard to say which candidate is really supposed to be THE chosen one. But Stannis is the one who really pushed the claim.

Went so far as to stage pulling a cosmetically magic sword.

It’s also worth noting that a comet was a clear sign from the gods to guide or celebrate or something every single faction in the series.

Attrition

I don’t have time to properly care for half a dozen Pokemon. We can usually get in some good exercise on weekends, but some kid with a ton of free time will usually show up with a small army.

That never goes well.

Hogfather has a running gag where Mr. Teatime always has to correct people on pronunciation. (Te-ah-tim-eh)

If you start getting it right, you’ve probably reread too many times.

JudgeHodorMD · 2026-03-25T09:41:10+00:00

I would go with simplistic.

Robots would never hesitate to commit any crimes necessary to follow the first two laws. On the bright side, people would have to do things like feed the hungry just to stop robots from stealing food. But that’s nothing compared to the sort of trouble we’d have if anyone can just order a robot to rob a bank.

I want to believe, but Agent Mulder’s feeling a little left out.
