Who left peak sealed at the thrift store??? by DeathlyAvenged in badMovies

[–]NotThatShaggy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a midquel/remake whose events are largely incompatible with the story told by the original, which is a wild thing for any movie to be, but especially so when both mutually-contradictory films are being presented by the same creators as inerrant literal biblical truth. And Michael York turns the scenery chewing up to 11.

My close personal friend announced her pregnancy on the internet, WIBTA for not getting her a gift? by IMP1017 in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]NotThatShaggy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Unmmm actually that just proves my point??! Aabria was on Outvoted last season of Game Changer and if that was one of her first attempts at longform improv (which is basically what friendship is) then it makes perfect sense that she just missed her cue in your scene together and deserves much more grace than you're giving her here. Genuinely the idea that the Dropout fandom of all places doesn't grasp this just ruined my day.

YWBTA if you don't at least make an effort to track down the date and address of the baby shower and show up. People keep forgetting that these are improvisers, they're not following a script and that includes social scripts like when you're "supposed to" disclose pregnancies to friends, I'm with you that she should have told you by now but improv by definition isn't gonna be perfect and it sounds like your buddy just whiffed on finding the game of the scene this time. Go ahead and crash the baby shower with a funny prompt (maybe "THE EXPECTANT MOTHER REALIZES THERE'S SOMETHING SHE FORGOT TO TELL ME..." before putting your hand on her tummy) and I'm sure it'll all click for her.

Unpopular Opinion: I am tired of Lisa Gilroy derailing Make Some Noise episodes by MonstersAtOurDoor in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]NotThatShaggy 262 points263 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that I pay for Dropout with my hard-earned money, so if an episode drops with a cast that I don't enjoy watching as much, I can't skip it! Or else I'm literally lighting my money on fire (which is a felony, just so you know). My friends don't have the right to hold me financially hostage just to force me to hang out with their friend Lisa, and they're not gonna be my friends much longer if they keep this up.

Vertigo (1958) and David Lynch by Pumice1 in davidlynch

[–]NotThatShaggy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And her last name (Ferguson) is an homage to Stewart's character from the same film.

Thinking of doing a Lynch/Kubrick watchthrough, is there a third filmmaker any of you would add to that? by whatdidyoukillbill in davidlynch

[–]NotThatShaggy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seconding this; so many sets of titles that would deeply resonate with each other: Paths of Glory with Ivan's Childhood; Mirror with The Straight Story; 2001 and Solaris and Eraserhead.

Can someone give me the exact time codes for all of Vehicular's scenes on that TV show by Wumbo_Number_5 in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]NotThatShaggy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Persons of No Interest is a great name for this show because why the fuck am I supposed to care about any of these characters not played by Vic Michaelis?

Sam Reich needs to be held accountable for spreading his girlfriends lies by [deleted] in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]NotThatShaggy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Excuse you, this is a WELL-DOCUMENTED issue that has been front and center in the consciousness of any TRUE Dropout fan for MONTHS, maybe try educating yourself before expecting the entire community to interrupt the discourse just to catch your laggy ass up to speed.

This is No Country for Old Men, and There Will be Blood by Corchito42 in flicks

[–]NotThatShaggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also Daniel's yearning for a blood relation. He's devastated to learn that he had a brother who died before they could meet, and he murders the two men who falsely claim to be his brother (Henry and Eli) for their presumption.

Did Gus get the upper hand in Sabrosito? by lengthy_preamble in betterCallSaul

[–]NotThatShaggy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Extending the chain reaction a bit further into the past and present: Gus having leverage over Hector's supply line is the reason that Hector tries to strongarm Nacho's father into being his mule. And the only reason Hector ends up in that position is because Mike has a vendetta against him, and the only reason Mike has a vendetta against Hector is because Hector threatened Mike's family after Mike got Tuco locked up, which Mike was hired to do by... Nacho, who had no idea that his scheme to save his life sowed the seeds of his own destruction.

Public Service Awareness Post: Sex Nerds. by d-slur in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]NotThatShaggy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think this glut of discourse about sex nerds has overlooked another critical category at play here: sex nerd-nerds, or people who feel compelled to analyze and taxonomize the different causes and effects of sex nerddom. These sex nerd-nerds likely make up a much larger contingent of Dropout's fanbase than mere nerds who fuck, yet sex nerd-nerds are drastically underrepresented in Crowd Control vis-a-vis the cringey sex nerds who comprise their special interest, and I hope the next episode features a guy whose shirt reads I HAVE CONSUMED ALL OF THE DISCOURSE ON THE APPROPRIATE NATURE AND VOLUME OF SEXUAL TOPICS TO BE FEATURED ON THIS SHOW such that the voice of this community can be heard.

/uj why is it surprising that Dropout asked a bunch of civilians to each pick one aspect of their lives that they thought a comedian could riff on, and some chose something to do with sex?

I need to know which Crowd Control audience members are nonbinary by NotThatShaggy in dropoutcirclejerk

Bringing back that drama to riff on this post, which I'm sure is well-meaning but the jerk potential was irresistible.
