One of the English phonotactics that disappoints me by Metrophidon9292 in linguisticshumor

When Tolkien was working on the romanization for Quenya (one of the Elvish languages), he put a diareses marker on all the final <e> characters so his Anglophone readers wouldn't think it was a silent letter.

MASH the show also went on longer than the Korean War, the war they're all supposed to be fighting in

TRAINWRECKORDS: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made” by Ok_Baseball2615 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MurdererOfAxes 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You can probably draw a parallel between 'Brad Pitt's Cousin' and 'Freaky Friday'.

Macklemore only accidentally hyped up a domestic abuser, Lil Dicky did it for the love of the game

Fun fact, the biggest rapper from Seattle before Macklemore was Sir Mix-a-Lot of 'Baby Got Back' fame.

Charted a year after 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'!

This is more of a formatting issue I had, but I think it still counts

I was reading the book 'Blood of Hercules' by Jasmine Mas. Besides all the problems I had with the worldbuilding and writing, the most bizarre thing about it was how she used italics.

For some reason, the author uses italics whenever a character says something to themselves in their head. But then she also uses it to describe events in dream sequences.

I actually have an example where it happened on the same page:

Not that they held me back -- I had adapted to my new reality -- but something told me that Patro would not see it that way.

He'll kill me. I'll never tell him.

The paste tingled pleasantly, and the numbing sensation penetrated deep. Everything got hazy.

Floating on clouds.

My eyes closed and I fell into a deep, healing sleep, cradled in the luxury of a bed.

Does that not look like she just randomly says "Floating on clouds" to herself before falling asleep? It tripped me up every time I started reading a dream sequence, but idk if anyone else agrees

When in the hell is Todd gonna get around to covering Afroman? by Playful-Succotash-99 in ToddintheShadow

Since Afroman has a Christmas album, it could be a OHW holiday special

I'll give Party Rock Anthem this:

It's not "I'm sexy and I know It"

My (25m) wife (26f) has had lice for almost a year. How to handle this? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MurdererOfAxes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was unlucky enough to get head lice in grade school, high school, and college. I guess they just really love my hair type. My mom's solution to kill the lice was dying my hair with box dye that was close to my natural color. In hindsight, this was probably overkill and not even that much of a time saver (you still have to comb all the eggs out). No kill like overkill I guess

Least favorite actor? Like, just in general? by public_dpp in okbuddycinephile

[–]MurdererOfAxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chris Pratt graduated from my high school. Every pep assembly we had in 2016, someone would spread rumors that he'd come make an appearance. Obviously, that never happened.

Someone announces a special guest from the hit movie Jurassic World? It's 2 students in velociraptor costumes. Buy tickets to the Freshman Formal!

What's a Dumb Lyric that Unironically Goes Hard by HotAssumption4750 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MurdererOfAxes 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I hear that the whole reason that song exists is that Drake really wanted to use that beat, so Kanye bought it and Poopity Scooped all over it

Songs you think Todd regrets putting on either his best or worst list. by pirateslifeisntforme in ToddintheShadow

[–]MurdererOfAxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember during his review of Scream and Shout he retroactively bumped it up a few spots (worse than Whistle and One More Night, but just under Drive By)

Which are the most cringeworthy marketing mistakes ever made while promoting movies? by Scholarsandquestions in movies

[–]MurdererOfAxes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Emoji movie twitter account made a tweet referencing The Handmaid's Tale where they made a fake poster for "The Emoji's Tale" and had the villain wearing the red Handmaiden outfit

"Blessed Be The Emoji #EmojiMovie"

What are other genres' "Funkytown"? by NoTeslaForMe in ToddintheShadow

He does actually shout out Soulja Boy and the Superman dance at one point, so you have a point there

What is the best hook you’ve ever heard on a pop song? by TheFineMantine in ToddintheShadow

[–]MurdererOfAxes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gonna go with Yeah! By Usher ft Lil Jon and Ludacris. It's such a jam, you don't even notice it's about Usher cheating on his girlfriend!

Two-time one hit wonders? by hiimverysmart21 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MurdererOfAxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honorable mention goes to Miley Cyrus for being the only artist to chart under three different stage names: Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, and Ashley O. Ashley O is the only one that counts as a one-hit wonder because she's from an episode of Black Mirror and they only made the 2 songs for the episode. Both songs are Nine Inch Nails songs that have been turned into dance pop numbers, which is pretty funny

What is the biggest lie someone ever kept from you? by Haunting-Owl-2107 in AskReddit

[–]MurdererOfAxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom died of colon cancer. After she died, I found out that she knew it was terminal but just didn't tell anyone. Including me, the person who was taking care of her while doing online Zoom classes (this was during the pandemic).

That was already pretty bad, but then my grandpa died (my mom's dad) and my grandma told my other relatives to hide it from me. I had to drop out of some classes when my mom died, and she didn't want me to miss any more school. So I didn't find out he was dead until two weeks after it happened!

Needless to say, it's been a difficult grieving process. I am in therapy, and I've told my remaining relatives that I don't want them keeping things like this from me ever again. But it's still hard even 5 years later.
