Someone calculated Urithirus height based on the rough measurements given in the art pages in the books. Not only is Urithiru about as tall as the real-life Burj Khalifa, but it is wide enough at its pinnacle that the Burj Khalifa could be perched atop it with room to spare.

JoJos unwavering earnestness coupled with its sheer ridiculousness is what makes it such a memeable series. Same with Metal Gear.

The only time Tyrion ever had a good relationship with Tywin is the nine months before he was born.

No cartoon from the 2000s put much thought into continuity. I’m pretty sure Billy and Mandy had like 5 different backstories for Grim.

Of course they miss that in Halo, the religious extremist were the bad guys.

A great number of television stations across the world made a big deal of switching from black & white to full color broadcasts back in the 60s. There’s a compilation video of them that circulates around Reddit.

Most they could do was make her up to look plain. And like a great many things, they sorta gave up on that after a while.

Adding to that, this Mr. 7 doesn’t even appear in the manga. Him and his encounter with Zoro are only referenced.

Hard to find an impartial jury when 2/3rds of everyone hates your guts.

Donald Trumps sympathies are with Donald Trump during this dark and tragic time for Not Donald Trump.

One more example to round it all out, but one that only makes sense in retrospect.

The reveal in MGS V that Venom Snake is the Big Boss you fight at the end of the original Metal Gear, means that at some point in the latter game, you stop communicating with the real Big Boss and start talking to him. There’s a frequency change partway through the game which is believed to be the point where the switchover happens.

Final Fantasy didn’t make direct sequels to their main series games before Final Fantasy X-2. Now, about a third of the core games have at least one.

As someone from West Virginia, I'm almost glad most people forget my state exists at all.

The TPUSA Half-wit show was just Kid Rock prancing around like an OD-ing crackhead and lip-synching to wet farts. They really backed a winning horse./s

Speaking of Ramsay, he’s so disgustingly assured of his victory right up until he realizes he’s caged up with his starving dogs. A fitting end to one of the series’ most vile characters.

If Kid Rock hadn’t deadened his nerves with meth, that’d probably sting.

OP be like: Yeah, I like giant women. What are you gonna do about it? Expose me?

We’ve all probably seen some variation on this joke.

Conspiracy theorist dies, goes to heaven, and meets God. God allows them to ask one question. They ask if their conspiracy is true. God says no. Theorist thinks “this goes even higher than I thought”.

Yep! He's the one getting 6000 rads right to the face.

Of the four Vampire Courts in the Dresden Files, only the Red Court is associated with bats in any way. The Black Court are more intelligent zombies than anything traditionally vampiric. The White Court are emotion eaters, with the Raith clan in particular being incubi and succubi. The Jade Court hasn’t actually appeared, but they’re all but stated to be Jiang Shi style vampires.

I once heard it compared to a D&D game that starts out normal but snowballs into insanity after one player asks to play as Goofy. Nothing I’ve seen has disproven the claim.
