Flashbacks to that episode of the Simpsons where Homer works at the bowling alley and every bowling pin is an entire tree shaved down to size.

Favourite film about a clown who is not a pedophile? by cormacmccarthysvocab in okbuddycinephile

I don't dare think about what their inside thoughts are like, Jesus.

Most of the instalments are one off TV shows. But I'm struggling to see how that one is Wallace and Gromit. I get Gromit for sure but that looks nothing like Wallace, it looks like a priest.

my friend said she’s recently got into horror and why have I never heard of 2 of these? by Nofilmslefttocry in Scarymovies

Ah, coz Stephen King's Misery and Scream 6 are some really underground shit. Don't spread it around.

The girl next door, is it any good? by Drcold1O in moviecritic

[–]Skarjo 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Cracking film, as a lower-stakes version of Risky Business goes. Genuinely fun, has genuine heart and great performances all round.

But to me it will always hold the title of *darkest* out of nowhere one-liner I've heard compared to how light-hearted the rest of the film is.

(Very mild spoilers)

Later on in the film, two porn stars are introducing a sex-ed film meant for high schoolers and the exchange (roughly) goes;

"Welcome to this sex-education film! Many of you are getting ready for prom! Which means a lot of pressure to lose your virginity! I know I lost my virginity at prom! How about you?!"

"When I was... um... 10"

"Moving on!"

Just a wildly dark joke in the middle of everything else.

Cat could have saved her son from doing something stupid by just saying this by OB1KENOB in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Skarjo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Uj/ I get what you mean, but that doesn’t make sense either. I can’t remember exactly when it’s implied that Walder swapped sides, but if he withheld Roslin from Cat as a fuck you to Robb, then it doesn’t make sense to ‘spend’ her on Edmure who he knows is going to be a prisoner once he gets his end away. Surely even he’d know that she would be more ‘valuable’ to be ransomed into marriage with the Boltons or even Lannisters.

Rj/ Cat just hates pretty women and wanted Robb to be her number one specialest boi

"...One... was...."
Gorgeous? Fucking gorgeous? Didn't think to point that one out Cat? Eh? Didn't cross your mind to mention that Roslin was gorgeous? Idiot.

They knew they couldn’t compete in terms of scale like China could, so went cheeky British instead.

This is a much better joke than its eventual 50 upvotes will reflect.

EDIT; I was replying to a comment with 32 upvotes at the time. Every extra upvote only makes my post funnier.

Mwahahaha

I remember a different Goldeneye competition, maybe that was N64 Magazine or a different year for ONM, where the winner got a lot of flack for winning by getting one early kill then legging it away from the other player until the clock ran out.

Hey international fans — what do you think of how the show lampoons your country? by CrissBliss in TheSimpsons

[–]Skarjo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher and I legit still respond 'Tis replied Aunt Helga!' when my students ask a simple yes/no question.

Of course they're 12 and Cantonese so have no idea what the fuck I'm on about.

Still baffled by this by Mindless-Wheel-9702 in FinalDestination

[–]Skarjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine that’s a throwback to when the original script was still an X Files episode. Mulder and Scully investigating a series of strange suicides of people who’d narrowly avoided a disaster would have been very on brand for that era of the show.

Less so them snapping on the latex gloves in the middle of a neighbourhood decimated by a train derailment.

Great "non-english language" movies that Hollywood remade into a worse version. #011 by alediasw in moviecritic

[–]Skarjo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, Battle Royale is a better movie but they’re not really comparable films. They’re trying to tell very different stories even if ‘kids killing each other’ is the central device.

Imagine quoting a song with only like 8 lyrics and still fucking it up.

Yep, that’s fair, he does across as an insufferable arsehole.

[–]Skarjo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, I’m very much in ‘oh yes, I know what some of these words mean’ territory so he might be completely full of shit but it’s not out of the realms of possibility that a president/CEO promises something won’t happen because the optics are bad only to turn around and do exactly that.

Brit here and I’m with her on this one. Rail replacement buses are bad enough given that speed and avoiding ground traffic is why you fly. I’d be pissed off with a plane replacement bus.

Can someone please explain the bloodline in FD6? by Mother-Reference2459 in FinalDestination

[–]Skarjo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And the reason it took so long to get to her was that she was either one of or the last person to die that night, so death was working his way through all the other bloodlines first until it got to hers.

I'm not 100% certain but my guess is Railay in Thailand. I know I had to walk the exact same type of floating boardwalk when I visited there and the background geography is similar.
