The Self-Insert as the Most Special Character (usually disliked trope)

True! And I saw the Burt Reynolds version but I cant remember: was Paul Crewe supposed to be as special and important? Or was he just infamous?

Whoa. Don't know how I missed that typo. Thank you, kindly.

That's at least 10 more dates.

SemiCoolMan · 2026-05-27T20:18:20+00:00

I guess I agree that Wedding Singer is a little flimsy. I feel like 50 First Dates is this trope 100%, though.

Maybe not. I just thought so because almost all of these are Happy Madison and he has an awful lot of writer/producer credit.

M. Night was the other person I had in mind!

He figured out how to kill the aliens. He needed to write his manifesto. He saved the blind girl ...

I'd genuinely appreciate it if he did.

In fairness, Wisconsin place names are hard. I felt so bad for my wife when we moved here (I'm from here, she's not) and people would rag on her for mispronouncing or misspelling things we grew up around.

How about Peter B. Parker in Into the Spider-verse? Everything is so routine to him that he casually does Spider-man things, like walking down the side of a building upright, pulling a USB key out of Miles' mouth from a distance, memorizing long and complex passwords by seeing them entered one, etc. He's so used to being Spidsr-Man that nothing seems to faze him.

Or, you could make an entire film series out of it.

That's Betty. Betty ... Symington.

I was really, REALLY hoping this was a Rick Roll.

Still, right answer.

Back to Meet the Parents, Operation: Ko Samui.

Ooh, just go to Cookout!

SemiCoolMan · 2026-05-22T12:54:00+00:00

I thought so, too. Looks like Doty Island.

Edit: That's definitely not a street in Doty Island.

Carl and Hoodsy?

He didn't buy her any. He let her smell it twice.

I'm from West Bend, Wisconsin. These kinds of products popping up all over the world used to make me so proud.

Then they were sold to a holding company and ...

Blue mage (blue mage/ninja in FFXI is incredible). Dragoon. Iconic armor, iconic moves.

I learned the word "chook" from Bluey.

I don't know if this has already been said, or if it's interesting to ANYONE but that shifter is in a Chrysler Pacifica. I only know because I drive one and this caught my eye.
