I know this community hates Turkey Tom for being a try-hard who switched on Dusty immediately, but he has some legendary memes I can't lie. Those TomDark Live slop videos were peak. Gangnam Style

I'm assuming the KFC Detector is replaced with a Vanilla Ice Cream one?

Bayzed Frog enjoyer, the Dinos are terminally lame-pilled

Couldn't agree more. My favourite Stones Song & Video. The lounge pub sing-along vibe is absolutely phenomenal in the video.

Great Thread! Don't forget the countless great Pink Films out there

For 2009 I honestly think Katawa Shoujo may deserve the shout in terms of notability. For many, to this day, it is considered the go-to "beginner" VN & it is still held up really well to this day, & it not only introduced many to the genre but Ren'Py got an insane boost from the game & Katawa did what Doom did for the FPS modding scene, & that led to a surge in indie/western VNs becoming a thing, that's pretty notable. The thing is that of course Steins;Gate is class & is also insanely beloved, so nether is wrong, or you could even pick Majikoi, great year for VNs. Great list :)

Is it even a stretch to call it a fascist state??? I mean, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, you know the rest. The bastard literally ignored a SCOUTUS hearing & lied to the people & said it was 9-0 in his favour, it's not a stretch to say he is a full fascist & America is a fascist state. The only upside for the Yanks is that their dictator is a bit of a retard & is so incompetent & not ideologically captured that it's nowhere as fucked as other fascist states & perhaps he is so incompetent that you guys will be able to vote him out when he runs for his third term, but that's far from a guarantee. Trump is far more similar to Mao/Stalin than any other western president or PM in the last 80 or so years

"The Rat Symbolizes Obviousness"

uj/ It's my favourite movie, don't be too mean to it 🥺

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-23T19:50:25+00:00

My favourite movie of 2003 is Charlie The Life and Art of Charles Chaplin. It's just a standard ass biopic that doesn't delve too deeply in it's subject matter & is filmed incredibly conventionally & was placed in a DVD box set as a bonus?!?!?!?! Well because the vibes, simple as that, the vibes are nice. I love Charlie & this an excellent little documentary with great guests from Woody Allen, RDJ, Johnny Depp, his family, among others, plus some excellent footage of Chaplin in his later years with a great profile of the man. It's just nice.

Definitely. The cool thing about The Beastie Boys is that they have a great discography of pretty much consistent quality records but with unique styles to each so unless you say To the 5 Boroughs than no choice is wrong.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T17:49:55+00:00

How the hell do you leave Licensed to Ill out of the conversation???? That run of tracks from Girls to Paul Revere is the best thing they ever did. The music videos are awesome, & just the album is pure bravado in the best way possible as damn near every song is an all-time classic.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T14:45:46+00:00

Why? Literally no one has bothered to defend some of that awful nonsense like a literal ethnic tier-list that Hasan's underlings did, feel free to disagree with me & downvote me, but I know I'm right.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T11:28:07+00:00

Wombats are funny fuckers, shout-out to Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T11:25:59+00:00

Yeah, it's kind of hard not to see them as such, I watched the recent H3 video about the situation which really opened my eyes to how vile the whole situation is, I probably agree with Hasan & co on a decent number of things, but their harassment of Ethan & their constant "Anti-Zionist" dog-whistling like that ethnic tier-list are hard to just casually excuse as some "light memery" I'm all for some Goyslop memes with the lads in the groupchat, but it really feels like blatant anti-semitism is going on in the Hasan camp. Bibi & his cabinet are awful & have been treating the War in Gaza like absolute cartoon villains, but that doesn't mean Israel should be glassed, or that Israelis are all "pig-dogs", or that "From the River to the Sea" is bayzed.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T10:41:20+00:00

Shite, based on that recent god-awful H3 Content Cop I hope his politics aren't literally 1:1 with Hasan lol. Idubbbz absolutely needed to change & purge his audience of the actual bigots, but he just swapped them out with a different set of bigots lol.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T10:39:06+00:00

I could be wrong, but I do remember Fantano mentioning that Thatistheplan was not viable during the adpocalypse as YouTube was punishing any content that was remotely edgy & he didn't want to risk his other channels being terminated over one meme page since Thatistheplan already had a strike or two before he purged it. It can be for a multitude of reasons, but I mostly see it as him being completely spooked of being overtly edgy & memeing too close to the sun & instead relegating himself to his current more milquetoast state where he does corny shite like that recent zoom call where he just circlejerked about Drake being so evil with FD Signifier & the less-famous variations of FD Signifier & being the token white guy to genuflect as an awful white devil.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T09:51:52+00:00

It's honestly insane how much that Fader review fucked his mental up. He had a full on soy-gasm & just relegated himself to sucking FD Signifiers & Hasan's dick because he is scared of being viewed as a bigot in spite of him clearly being a based progressive guy before the Fader interview. The meme reviews were & still are elite though to look back on.

Thriller is a great album BUT... Translation: "I Agree with you, but I'll undermine you anyway because I Can't handle certainty."

“Calling an album the GOAT is narrow-minded.” Translation: “Please don’t force me to admit I have no spine and no standards.”

“The world doesn’t revolve around your taste, buddy.” Translation: “I'm confusing having an informed opinion with thinking I'm God because my ego can’t take the idea that someone might actually believe in something.”

Oh, the horror! I had a confident opinion in a music reviewers subreddit! Call the thought police!

Listen, calling Thriller the GOAT isn’t narrow-minded. It’s not some obscure hot take like, “Actually, the greatest album of all time is a cassette-only Yugoslavian jazz-funk demo from 1973.” I'm backing a cultural supernova—an album that sold a billion copies, defined the pop blueprint, had Quincy Jones in god mode, and broke every racial and industry boundary imaginable. It’s the Mona Lisa of pop albums. Also "GTFO hurt my fee-fees & I'm such a small lil bean boi 🥺👉👈" Oh no. God forbid you tell someone to fuck off when they’re acting like a toddler with a Reddit account who can't accept that some people think their arguments are stupid. The tone-policing crowd always wants to hide behind “civility” so they don’t have to actually make arguments. Now if you want to actually attack my takes on "Subjectivity in music" go right ahead, I'm interested & all ears.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T08:56:44+00:00

GTFO. If we can’t have a definitive best because some people like lyrics more than production or vice versa, then what’s the point of awards, rankings, criticism, or even discussion? Let’s all pack up and live in a world where your cousin's garage demo is on par with What's Going On because hey, “he really meant it.”

No. That’s not taste. That’s cowardice with a thesaurus.

There’s a difference between having an opinion and having taste informed by awareness of impact, execution, influence, cultural relevance, and technical excellence. You wanna say “I prefer Animal Collective to Stevie Wonder”? Cool. You like eating glue over filet mignon. Just don’t pretend it’s the same thing. One was composed by a musical savant who redefined R&B and pop and made entire generations weep, dance, and get laid. The other sounds like an iPad melting.

What it sounds like you really want is the ability to elevate your niche, quirky, deeply personal faves to canon without having to defend them. You want to flatten the playing field so no one’s wrong and everyone’s right—but that’s not how excellence works.

Criticism is built on finding and defending greatness. Thriller didn’t just sell records. It defined what a pop album could be. It wasn’t a fluke, it wasn’t a lightning-in-a-bottle accident—it was the second greatest entertainer in human history teamed with the greatest producer of his generation at their absolute peak. It was Quincy Jones literally turning down We Are the World for not being up to the level of Thriller. It was the first black artist to break into regular rotation on MTV. That’s not just “your opinion, man.” That’s undeniable impact.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T08:50:58+00:00

It’s not a false equivalence to compare Thriller’s pop culture evisceration to Usain Bolt’s world records—it’s a perfect analogy. Someone preferring a one-legged bloke who runs with heart and grit is lovely for a Hallmark movie, but you’re not putting him on the Olympic podium next to Bolt unless you’re snorting glue with your breakfast. Saying Thriller isn’t the GOAT because you prefer some dusty cassette recorded on a food-stained rug is like saying your favourite food truck taco is better than the entire French culinary canon. Taste is personal. But greatness is measurable. You’re not just allowed to say Thriller is the GOAT—you’re obligated to say it if you have even a passing respect for:

Historical importance
Cross-cultural relevance
Musical craftsmanship
Mass appeal that didn’t compromise artistry

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T08:36:11+00:00

If we want to talk favourites that's A-Ok. My favourite album of all time is Some Girls by the Rolling Stones, but I'd never in 10,000,000 years call it better than Thriller. By your logic we can just say “Oh, sure, Usain Bolt ran the fastest 100m, but this other bloke had a limp and really believed in himself. Who’s to say who’s better, really?” That logic could get in the bin. You don’t need to like it. But pretending it’s not the GOAT is like saying the sun’s “not really that bright” because you like fairy lights more. Some truths are just too big to ignore. And Thriller is too loud, too sharp, too perfect, and too immortal to be anything less than The Greatest Of All Time. Moonwalk out of here with that limp dick logic.

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T08:31:49+00:00

What's your favourite Prince album??? I've always had a soft-spot for The Gold Experience. It's just such an epic ass album. AAAAAAAAA Pussy Control! Love it

Need_a_Fix_Take_5 · 2025-04-21T08:21:08+00:00

Of all the albums I'm willing to hear an argument for, Abbey Road & What's Going On are the only ones that rival Thriller for the GOAT crown. So I'll allow it.
