I need to get into the right headspace to watch that. His movies are definitely challenging.

 

It's the same feeling I get from people calling something "product"

 

It is a product to producers and executives, and that is how they treat them. That is why they will cancel a show when it makes business sense but doesn't make artistic sense. For them it is dollars in versus dollars out. It is not how the filmmakers or showrunners think of it, and audiences shouldn't either.

What is the most annoying catchphrase from a movie or show?

I heard someone use alrighty then today and it was horrifying.

 

“Do I make you horny, baby?” and pretty much any other Austin Powers movie quote or impression of any of those characters.

 

I really hope there aren't a lot of people going around saying that, whether it is sincere or humorous.

 

Austin Powers has swung back around and is now firmly ironically funny.

 

some of the shit from HIMYM is incredibly cringey

wild there was a time people thought neil patrick harris’ character was funny

 

“Some”

 

Not a movie or show but my name is Jake and every dumb mothefucker I meet says “Jake, from State Farm?” like it’s some hilarious joke I’ve never heard. I hate it.

 

Is “alrighty then” really that bad? I guess if they were using the Jim Carrey voice when they said it, then I would be a little much, but I feel like it’s commonly used.

 

yes it’s that bad

 

That’s what she said makes me cringe.

 

Try being a redhead for the first couple years after the South Park ginger episode.

 

Are they any actually “good” catchphrases? In all the cases that come to mind they are forced and therefore not funny except for possibly in an ironic detached way. What’s actually funny are a character’s mannerisms / speech patterns, like any time a character on the Sopranos goes “Oh!” when someone gets out of line. It actually holds up as funny because it feels natural

 

We talked about how the inevitable Trump movie will be bad, but I suspect that one day we will get a great movie about QAnon. They won't literally call it that, sort of like how The Master is about Scientology with the names changed, but it will explore the underlying desire for people to believe in mass conspiracies to fill in the blanks in their ideology.

 

But first we will get multiple really bad movies about Qanon

 

It will probably make a really great documentary though

 

Gonna go ahead and throw [insert any festival catchphrase] in here. But there is one in particular...

I went to Reading Festival one year (NEVER AGAIN) and it was a year that Family Guy was still relevant and everyone thought it was hilarious to shout "BUTTSCRATCHER!" at all hours of the day. If one person shouted it, another 40 did and it went on and on.

Getting wrist bands. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Putting up our tent next to the main walking path because there was nowhere else left. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Buying an overpriced lukewarm Tuborg (the worst lager). BUTTSCRATCHER!

Dropping an overpriced lukewarm Tuborg (the worst lager) while a shitfaced teen barrels in to me shouting... BUTTSCRATCHER!

Trying to appreciate Thrice playing "Come All You Weary". BUTTSCRATCHER!

Trying to appreciate Thrice playing "Red Sky". BUTTSCRATCHER!

Watching a fire truck attempting to put out a fire somebody had started on the only toilets close to our campsite and then get tipped over by a bunch of shitfaced teens all shouting... BUTTSCRATCHER!

Watching a bunch of shitfaced teens then set fire to the fire truck in some ironic act of awfulness. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Trying to sleep at 4am despite the putrid musk of flame grilled faeces floating through the air. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Being woken up at 4:01am by a shitfaced teen ramming a shopping trolley filled with two other shitfaced teens directly in to our tent and breaking it. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Waking up in my collapsed tent and realising I had another day of this shit to go. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Drinking copious amounts of overpriced lukewarm Tuborg (the worst lager) just to pull through the day. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Drinking so much that me and my friends started shouting "GARLIC BREAD!?" as a desperate attempt to dethrone the shit catchphrase with another shit catchphrase. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Sleeping rough because our broken tent was drenched in piss due to there being no toilets nearby and people guessing that spot was as good as any. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Sitting in a 3 hour traffic jam trying to get the hell out of Reading. BUTTSCRATCHER!

Feeling tempted by all future major festival lineups and failing to pull the trigger for fear of hearing someone shout... BUTTSCRATCHER!


Yeah. That's the catchphrase I hate the most alright...

 

I had never heard that one before. I would definitely find ways to spend less time with those people.

 

the three month “dilly dilly” window from a fucking commercial was insufferable.

 

I will never say it out loud but I do have a Bud Light Dilly Dilly shirt that they gave me when I bought a case

 

as long as you didn’t buy the shirt yourself, that’s fine

i went to a basketball event jason concepcion was at and got a shirt that had a catchphrase from one of his podcasts and it made me cringe so hard i left it there.
