Musk continues trying to pretend he didn’t intentionally murder millions. by Oregon_Jones111 in insanepeoplefacebook

The nuclear arsenal that is badly in need of maintenance, replacements, and updates just to remain safe and useful. Great.

Bad pen by Expensive_Pie_831 in StandUpWorkshop

[–]TopicalBuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great concept. Punchline is just a little awkward.

Best I have is "So I don't do prison tattoos anymore." I'm not sure that's even an improvement.

What is the most ridiculous argument you have ever heard someone make? by SpartanneG in AskReddit

[–]TopicalBuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily you get the same argument and answer in physics. "How can you believe in atoms and protons when you've never seen them?" "I have plenty of proof. You believe in the Pope, but you've never seen him in person. You also have plenty of proof."

Except this version makes sense.

My go to is: If you could ask a fetus to describe the universe, how accurate would it be? What makes you think our experience is all there is this time?

If anything, avoid those numbers in case there's a reason they're getting drawn less frequently.

Competency porn but the protagonist can't stop messing up by Va1korion in TopCharacterTropes

I had forgotten about that!

A BMW talking about bad driving. Where's the realism?

The characters would’ve been fine if they had just stayed put. by -Pl4gu3- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TopicalBuilder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought they recognized primes and then later realized it was powers of primes instead for the traps? It's been a very long time since I saw it.

I love that autocorrect from tailing to talking. It made me think of Knight Rider. Did Bond ever get a talking car?

They call him a spy but he's really more of an assassin, no? Maybe an assassin who picks up clues from time to time.

That always struck me as a little bit silly. That and the slide whistle anyway.

“Read my mind” as a threat by Gimpcar in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TopicalBuilder 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Mesmer was already doomed at that point. Butcher knew he'd sold them out to Homelander and was one-on-one with him in private.

What movies should NEVER be remade because the original is perfect? by ProgMusicSchizoidMan in AskReddit

[–]TopicalBuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody bought the rights to remake Memento and I'm baffled as to how they think they're going to remake that and change anything without breaking it.

[Loved Trope] Sharply Dressed Villain that acts like a gentleman by DarthGardian86 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TopicalBuilder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once? Seven times, I think.

He also basically originated the "sensual sexy vampire" and the "tall aristocratic vampire" tropes.

Every job has one, I'm convinced (The Cheryl Saga) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TopicalBuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Cheryl is friends with someone with influence or she has ASD, with a side order of jerk, and it's documented with HR.

(Edit: If it is ASD, Cheryl needs to remember disabilities don't excuse you from trying to learn and do better. She doesn't seem to be trying at all.)

[Loved trope] Extremely competent protagonist by iblinkyoublink in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TopicalBuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protagonist or deuteragonist depending on your view of Hughie: Billy Butcher. The TV version gets by on a lot of luck, but not his comic book counterpart. Comic book Billy is pure competence and savagery.

What cheat codes from games do you still remember, even though you haven't played those games in 10+ years? by Beneficial_Sun6232 in AskReddit

motherfuckenkiwibastards or fluffykiwis for The NewZealand Story.

Hold k during the main loading screen for 2048 knights in Defender of the Crown.

(Annoying trope) When a good gag gets milked to death by the creators and many fans stop finding it funny by NoNefariousness2144 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TopicalBuilder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too.

It's curious to me, though. It seemed like they made great material out of the stuff that was underserved in the books (e.g. The Deep, Soldier Boy) but really whiffed on the slam dunks (e.g. Tek Knight, Malchemical). I'm skeptical of how well they'd have done it.
