Just give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have.

Wait...wait.

I worry what you just heard was...
"Give me a lot of b4con_n_3ggs."

What I said was...
"Give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have"

...Do you understand?

Is this sarcasm or am I just old? It's from the 90s. It's a silly reference (or dear god a Shark jumping name if it was SUPPOSED to be serious) to all the ridiculous tough-sounding names that were prevalent in that era (including Deadpool actually)

vvv and there we have it. :)

It was a dumb, run into the ground joke. This movie had the same comedic quality as the ghostbusters reboot. It was basically the won ton soup joke.

I think the whole film is encapsulated in the credit sequence. We get a hilarious, inventive credit sequence that stops, and then the film turns serious to actually beat the monster. A better film would have incorporated the two. As it is, the credit sequence is just a prelude, just spinning the wheels. And then the actual monster fight is dull, with the best gag coming from Batista (as it does for the entire movie)

My bad, I wasn't about to look up his debut, just pointing out he wasn't an original character for the movie.

Don't be scared
I saw the movie in theaters, and on my first watch I absolutely loved the movie. But then we got the Blu-Ray, and every time we have people over they want to watch the movie. After seeing it a couple more times, I don't know that this movie has the re-watch value of the original. It's a good movie, regardless, but I feel compelled to want to skip straight to the middle when they go to Ego's planet because the rapid-fire jokes in the first act get old after a couple of viewings.
