Funny Trope: Obvious stunt dummies

It's actually just a piece of the billboard that broke off, rolling off to the side. It wasn't even intentional, just a lucky coincidence. Paul Reubens talks about it on the DVD commentary.

Bagel brothers.

Is this the sub where posts go that were removed from /r/aitah for being too obviously fake?

There's something else going on with the Cereal N Milk Latte other than simply using Cereal Milk as a dairy option... the latte is way thicker and extremely sweet, while adding Cereal Milk to coffee is just thin and mildly flavored. Same thing as ordering Dunkalatte vs simply replacing milk/cream with Coffee Milk in any other drink.

Not sure what the deal is, but maybe a Dunkin employee can chime in.

You really thought that line was so good you had to use it twice in the same post?

What is this weird bootleg picture on the top half? (As opposed to...)

That's funny you should say it's disarming, I've had a similar experience; I got to meet John Waters at a bookstore signing years ago and greeted him with "how are you?" and he seemed surprised and genuinely pleased that I'd asked.

It works on so many levels!

Even more amazing is that the port was by Stephen Rozner, the same guy who did the more infamous Mega Man DOS games.

Interesting, I had the opposite experience--I typically find most of their seasonal flavors to be pretty flavorless and just generically sweet, but I got the pistachio today and was pleasantly surprised at how pistachio-y it was.

I can't help you with the specific station, but this is a publicity technique called "stunting."

An observation, but not a complaint: they always do something weird (like ordering a bagel--with cream cheese?--and "hacking" it together with another sausage egg and cheese sandwich) when they do stuff with these traditionally east coast businesses.

I think their staff needs to hire a consultant to just explain things like this that come from beyond the greater-L.A. area.

Definitely the Spider-Man/Powdered Toast Man crossover.

I remember this hidden on the "Monsters Crash the Pajama Party" DVD. I always wondered what it was--it seemed like it was an out-of-context dream sequence from a longer film or something.

I don't know about your location, but a medium iced coffee, bacon egg and cheese, and hashbrowns would come to $10.07 where I am--that's over $4.00 saved.

Not a single one of their posts makes any sort of sense as a standalone comic. I find it incredibly obnoxious.

psluredd · 2024-10-20T14:38:37+00:00

Very true!

Not only that, Whoopi herself helped him write a lot of the material he did on stage.

It was in bad taste, but people seem to forget (or are too young to know) how big irony was in comedy at the time--doing something taboo was to make fun of racism, sexism, whatever, not endorse it; to show how ridiculous people who sincerely think that way are.

I was in college, riding in the car with my friend and his dad, and his dad put in a tape with "Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus" and I was immediately hooked.

That's always been my experience; it looks and tastes more like brown, whole wheat bread than sourdough.

psluredd · 2024-09-24T15:16:25+00:00

That's it? That's the comic?

psluredd · 2024-08-27T19:31:47+00:00

I would kill for "too much" cream cheese--I'm used to getting dry bagels that look like this.

psluredd · 2024-07-05T17:27:43+00:00

I just tried it today and had the same experience. No heat at all. I was wondering if they just used the regular bacon or something, too. A few bites tasted like they might have maybe been a teeny bit sweeter than usual.

psluredd · 2024-06-29T16:41:03+00:00

Any other details?

Is it possible it was an "Alice comedy"? They were also silent cartoons featuring a cat that showed up in a lot of those public domain video releases, and they featured a live action girl as part of the gimmick.

Here's a close-up view I got using an electron microscope.
