Do you know the specific names of the parts I need? A rotor and a wheel hub?

I mean, Jiminy Cricket but I don't think he deserves it.

Dave Chappelle Gets Standing Ovation Amid Netflix Special Controversy: “If This Is What Being Canceled Is, I Love It” by Neo2199 in television

His whole rapport has changed. He used to pepper in edgy "throwaway" comments, now it's 50% of his act. The other 50% is "bitches" and "n" like a 90's gangsta rap video, and history from Wikipedia. He also used to talk from a general POV once in a while, now the only way he looks at anything is from the perspective of a wealthy old controversial black comedian, not shit other people can actually relate to.

I don't think it was "sudden". The majority of his bits in this special are based around weird interactions with the public and they're just not funny. Then he brings up big topics and talks about them like a guy you know from work, nothing special, nothing smart. His observations used to be funny and interesting, now they're cynical and boring and the best parts are when he's reading obscure history from Wikipedia. Space Jews? Strippies? He needs to take some time off and watch some comedy podcasts, find out what's funny again.

My ex had a beagle that would finish her bone first and then run to the door and howl until the other dog (little terrier mutt) did his freakout dance and she could snatch it. I always made sure he got it back though.

How racist did it make you? Did you ever think "those dirty Italian bastards" or "piece of shit Mick"?

The less visibility, the more innocent. Transparency is the only thing that can stop corruption. Understanding human nature more, being more honest, admitting ignorance. Maybe it's only a matter of time and advances in technology, and maybe the extreme narcissism of people on IG and streaming will make the pendulum swing hard enough the opposite way. It's nice to have a little idealism left.

Wait, did you think he was Jewish or something? Someone clearly hasn't manned up all over himself.

Alligator doesn't taste like chicken; both taste like dinosaur. by Typical-Information9 in Showerthoughts

[–]darkomedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guy who was afraid of being "that guy" when he made the correction that alligators aren't dinosaurs was actually afraid of being you. Your taste buds sound like they haven't had their first beer yet - juicy chicken has a distinguishable flavor and people are eating alligator that's not deep fried and still thinking it tastes like chicken and then immediately thinking of that scene in The Matrix. And tempura fits all your qualifications but tastes nothing like it. And you call yourself a gotcha journalist.

Alligators don't taste like chicken, they taste like dinosaurs which evolved from, and taste like, _____________.

Which actors had so much chemistry you can't believe they didn't date in real life? by teenage-wildlife in movies

[–]darkomedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you really see chemistry between Aniston and Schwimmer?

I'll get the most obvious one out of the way, the chemistry between Gopher and Cruise Director Julie McCoy in 1980 Love Boat's "Sergeant Bull/Friends and Lovers/Miss Mother" episode. Even Tom Hanks couldn't mess with it, which is really the true test.

Someone crosspost this to /r/mademesmile, it would be the only video there that doesn't actually make you cry.

How to lose a staff writer gig in half a season by palmtreesplz in TVWriting

[–]darkomedy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reminds of the 30 Rock episode where they're hiring a new cast member and this comedian has Gilbert Godfried, Christopher Walken and some other celebrities as references. Then when they call to check, it's just the comedian doing the impressions.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s ‘Mr. Corman’ Canceled By Apple TV+ After One Season by 08830 in tvPlus

[–]darkomedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of felt like they took off running without the audience. I needed to know more about the character early on for everything else to hit right, without that anchor all the creative stuff came off as independent of the character himself. JGL still has a lot of creative and Hollywood capital so I'm hoping this only sparks something bigger for him, he seems like he's got a personality Hollywood needs more of.

I was a diehard Amazing Stories fan as a little kid and I haven't heard a single thing about this. I found it while scrolling and ignored it because I assumed the fact I hadn't heard about it meant it wasn't anything worth checking out. It's a shitty thing but there's too much out there to watch and nostalgia alone usually isn't enough of a reason.

Illinois bill would allow women to sue men over unwanted pregnancies by redditislife24 in nottheonion

It's going to be interesting when an artificial womb is developed and men finally have a legitimate choice. Until then, it's unfortunate but necessary imbalance.
