It's almost adorable how much of South Park they take at literal face value.

Pretty minor, but I found this on the Emperor’s New Groove YMMV page.

  • "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny: Aside from the whole "twisted, snarky fairytale with an all-star cast" concept being monopolized by the runaway success of Shrek(which made it to theaters months after The Emperor's New Groove did), this was also the first Disney film in years that was not a blockbuster musical romance with a "Be Yourself" message. Anyone who doesn't remember this era will probably have a hard time getting past the "David Spade as a llama" gimmick.

Who wants to bet that by “anyone who doesn’t remember this era”, they actually mean their lord and saviour, Doug Walker? He’s the only person I know who got hung up over this.

Kind of funny how they interpret the 'heroes' as being marxists.Because if they were right wing they would never resist a foreign invasion or something because right wingers are by default colonialists or something????Its even funnier if you think about the fact that the entire plot is about 'reds' invading the US.
That is unfuckingbelievably stupid, even by TV Tropes standards. Yes, obviously a movie written by a hardcore libertarian (and not the "libertarian socialist" sort either) which has scenes blatantly drawing analogies to the Soviet War in Afghanistan which is about communists invading the US (including everyone's favorite communist country Cuba) is going to have the heroes themselves being commies.

What's next, John Galt was a Marxist and all the good guys in Atlas Shrugged are commies?

John Milius also wrote Apocalypse Now, and is notably a gun enthusiast in a community incredibly hostile to that, although when the LA riots happened, his Hollywood friends all found excuses to want to visit him suddenly. He is also the basis for Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski by his friends the Coen Bros.

There is no fucking way in Hell he wrote a pro-commie anything, ever.
 

Oh dear...

By that definition, even Amish or Mennonite communities are "Marxist". Just because a group of people decide to work together, pool their resources and collectively take care of their own security, that doesn't mean they're ready to don Mao jackets and wave hammer and sickle banners in the town square. Marxism is a very specific form of government tied to the centralized control of resources and the idea that society consists of powerful and non-powerful groups competing with each other. There were collectivist communities (some with strict ideological rules) and guerilla warfare tactics long before Marx put pen to paper.

Under 'Hilarious in Hindsight' for the movie Heathers. How the fuck is there any correlation between these two things?
 
OK

1. OSHA is a US department not a japanese one meaning that there are probably differences in regulation

2. The fire wasnt the result of an accident but the result of deliberate action by some exceptional individual

anyways some more vic case sperging


Choice quotes:

"Annoyingly I’ve recently argued with someone that the judge is incompetent cause he apparently has a lot of bad reviews meaning a new judge should supposedly side with him.
I didn’t know judges are like restaurants now."

"It is incredible the mental leaps some people will take to try and avoid facing reality. I imagine that when the appeals court rejects the appeal they'll take on Nick's latest lime about.hiw that means that defamation is dead in Texas.
At this point I expect a brief flare up from those fans at the sanctions hearing, then it will slowly die down ovr months, briefly flare up again when Broly gets recast before dying do until it's as dead as Vic's career."

"Logically if someone loses a case your most likely not gonna accept it was your loss & the other guy deserved the win, your just gonna blame it on someone else & say they screwed you over.
Which makes the very system of reviewing a judge stupid as all Hell."

If they really wanted to get autistic over the OSHA thing, anything older than 1971 should've gotten the axe. And that building that the crazy weeb tried to burn was technically up to code, due to what it was classified as. But as it now, it's still autistic facepalming over "every incident is preventable!"

I'm guessing the "correlation" is there since Heathers was adapted into a stage musical which became a part of the pantheon of Cursed Zoomer Musicals, which also includes Hamilton. Though, this bullet point isn't even referring to the goddamn theater version. This is autistic even by TV Tropes standards...
 
Hilarious in hindsight has some trully weird 'hilarious' moments.Its not uncommon to find 'x and y actors were in this movie 30 years ago and then they were again in another movie last year' that makes it funny somehow.Apparently the thought that actors can actually act in dozens of movies over a period of decades doesn't factor in.At least with the 'harsher in hindsight' entries something bad must happen but the hilarious entries are barely connected most of the time and in many cases include just events that happened.Of course there might be a sorta explanation here.Since trully edgy humor is quite often not-PC tropers must find something to laugh about.
