A poorly phrased question about sleeveless undershirts with an "oh god it's still the early 20th century" answer? Maybe?

Yeah, it seems to be a joke based around the sleeveless shirt and domestic abusers.

Anyone else willing to send pics of Intelligent Life to Seth MacFarland and hope Reddick gets a C&D letter sent to him?

MacFarlane himself has basically said his whole style was aped from Hannah-Barbara (whom he worked with for a number of years) which was created due to the necessities of cheap animation. Since its been posted here, Riddick also seems to have slowly slimmed Skip down and adjusted the shapes of faces. It's still similar, but unfortunately not enough to warrant legal action.

It's content though...maybe we can get him tried for crimes against humanity.

I think I heard it originated from COPS, because that's what the majority of domestic abusers on that show wore? I could be super wrong though. Anyway

quote:

Luann

quote:

Luann gave a $10, Ox gave a $5, guitar man gave money, and Gunther was getting out paper money. How is that going to add up to no more than $16 even if none of the other 30 acts gave?

Notice whose idea the collection was…

quote:

Quick in the head calculation. Since we know that group of 4 acts gave over $16, let’s be conservative and just say $15 per each group of four acts, then pretend there were 32 acts instead of 34. Okay, that makes 8 groups of four, so 8×10 = 80 and 8×5 =40. Conservatively, if the acts gave at somewhat similar levels as those four you woukd expect that at least $120 was collected.

Ox was early enough in the line to have not noticed this if he left after signing up, but Luann and Bernice could have noticed, and Gunther might have noticed if he overheard Luann.

quote:

34 acts at 5 minutes each means the show runs nearly 3 hours, plus intermission. That’s way too long. The sign-up list should have been cut off after at most 18 acts, or there should have been an audition process to choose which ones get onstage and which ones don’’t.

She can't possibly be aware of it, can she? If she was, I can't believe that she wouldn't try to make herself look better. Or that she wouldn't just straight up die of shame.

Every time I read Foob I'm reminded of when, as a kid, I told my mom I didn't like the book The Giving Tree (I felt bad for the tree being taken for granted, but I wasn't really able to articulate the thought at the time) and she was like "but that's what parenthood is!" and I know in retrospect she meant parenthood was making sacrifices for someone you love, but I guess I never really got past the idea "you do a ton of poo poo for someone who uses and doesn't appreciate you" as the interpretation for the book, and I feel like that's how Lynn would interpret it if she ever read it. And then she went ahead and had kids anyway and hates herself/them/everything.
