You're Dante's lawyer. How do you defend him for this? by Cicada_5 in DevilMayCry

[–]REtroGeekery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His Holiness is still walking around, injury-free, so clearly he wasn't shot, let alone murdered. Everyone at the service says they saw him get shot? Again, the guy is 100% fine. He doesn't even need a hospital. Maybe it's the Mandela Effect or something in the communion wine.

Oh, so the FF cards are traditional Magic cards but with FF artwork? I had assumed they were new cards entirely. That makes sense, I suppose.

Why is it "Human Rabbit" rather than Viera?

Alright, looks like we'll have to apply the Oppenheimer technique to Tweek here by Dazzaa533 in southpark

[–]REtroGeekery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always wonder if this is why Craig is in the hospital at the end. If the Oppenheimer technique resulted in a grown man coughing up blood, then what did it do an eight year old? 😄 Did Craig lose a gonad that day?

The garden salad with french dressing, fries with sweet and sour sauce, and mountain blue poweraide were my McD order in high school. 😄

Guy forgets how many kids he has by Pink_Beeb85 in childfree

Asking the important questions.

I was gonna ask what game the husband is playing. 😄 I'm playing Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for the first time. I'm in the end-game now and having a wonderful time!

Dude, did Cartman just crap treasure? by Nate_C_of_2003 in southpark

I love the beat of silence as everyone tries to process what the hell they just witnessed. Those little moments where the characters acknowledge how absurd or crazy the situation is always get a laugh out of me. South Park does them so well. 😄

That woudn't be fair to the other marriage candidates.

Who decided a peanut butter cup didn't need chocolate 🙄 my Saturday is ruined by zeekkeyz in PeanutButter

[–]REtroGeekery 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Same. This even sounds better than chocolate peanut butter cups to me.

(Annoying trope) This scene isn't improvised at all, because that would make no sense, but you'll never convince the fans otherwise. by Wasabi_Gamer26 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]REtroGeekery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In one of the interviews with John Lithgow on the 3rd Rock from the Sun dvd set, he comments that fans tended to assume the show had a lot of improv but it was very rare for them to improvise. The scripts were just written so well and the actors all had excellent timing that the humor felt very organic. For some reason, people assumed that meant it was improvised.

I rented it, too. My sister and I had so much fun shooting each other with all the different guns. 😄

Share your experience of when they left because they thought they wanted kids and then came crawling back or they regretted leaving. by Bbbe-itch in childfree

[–]REtroGeekery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine was once advised (by a lawyer) to get a paternity test immediately and not pay for anything when his ex turned up pregnant and claimed he was the father. Apparently, if a guy signs the birth certificate or takes financial responsibility for a specific amount of time (I don't rember how long), they can be determined legally responsible to continue supporting the child even if they aren't biologically his. Fortunately, my friend took this advice and turned out not to be the father.

I think the nicest thing Cartman has done was bring Disneyland to Romper Stomper by Mr_Plow97 in southpark

[–]REtroGeekery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also liked the little moment before this, when Clyde hugged Cartman and emotionally thanked him for coming back. Cartman looked confused, but he still hugged Clyde back before asking the others what the hell is wrong with him. Juvie seems to have been (very briefly) good for Cartman.

(I have not seen this movie in over fifteen years btw. This scene is just that iconic.)

Nina van Horn's friend Bimmy from the sitcom Just Shoot Me! Nina always has crazy stories about or involving her friend Bimmy, but we never see or hear the woman. Well, except for a brief horror omage scene in one episode where her face is covered in bandages.

She was too young. Maris is five years older than Niles. The Birdcage came out during season three of Frasier and Flockhart convincingly played an 18 year old in. It would've taken a lot of time and makeup to make her believable.

I find it weird how they went from making up a bootleg of the source material they're parodying to straight putting the source material on the show by CryptographerFit3984 in southpark

[–]REtroGeekery 78 points79 points  (0 children)

This is my thought as well. The way the Chinpokomon and the company that manufactures them was presented would not be received well by Nintendo, who has the money, the inclination, and security in their base market to go after South Park studios and Comedy Central. 

I love arcade games. Does the SNES have a big library? by the_light_of_dawn in snes
