We don't have as robust an animation culture as Japan so it's amusing when they like something of ours like king of the hill

Transformers was anime. We just don't think about it much because there's like 2 humans in it.

the fact that america is a vast hegemonic empire means that no, it's not actually 'exotic' in the same way at all, our culture is dominated by the stuff the usa puts out, we grow up seeing its influence everywhere, if you go to the cinema in my home country most of the films will be dubbed american stuff rather than anything made here, watching dubbed american cartoons and television isn't a subculture at all

I'd also argue that Disney doesn't exude any American culture at all unlike Simpsons or King of the Hill. While anime is distinctly Japanese in culture.

Disney channels like 95% European centric culture up until the 80s or so and much still after that.

Disney's cultural influence was European and then international.

Stop patronizing. It's a funny juxtaposition that the Japanese, renown for their excellent animation have the same sort of conversations many anime fans here in the US have about their work the dub vs. the sub.

King of the Hill is probably better than at least 80% of their cartoons (and that's being generous, because it's better than at least 95% of American cartoons).

The egg trick is uh.... Neat I guess but the "bigger than before" doesn't seem true or even related to what's being done? Looks like it turned an egg into a sort of rubber ball which is neat until it rots and falls apart I guess.

My understanding is that Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner basically just spend every day together hanging out.


Jerry Seinfeld pretty much sucks now, but the episode of Comedians in Cars getting coffee with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner is pretty great. He goes to the deli and brings stuff back to Reiner's house and watches TV with them like they do every night. It's season 1 episode 9 on Netflix.

Soaking an egg in vinegar dissolves the shell.

That much I'm sure about.

The rest? I mean I'd eat an acid-boiled egg that spent a day in maple syrup. Probably not after a day in probably not food-intended dye, though.

Yeah, I just don't understand the point of the whole thing. How is this a craft? usually you end up with a thing you can use or some art that won't go rotten within a month after a craft.

Was going to post this too, it's got to be in my top 5 favorite episodes.

I'm not sure why Jerry's fallen out of fashion lately, but Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is one of my favorite short Netflix series. They're small enough that I can squeeze them in on my lunch breaks while I eat, and usually good for a few laughs.

There's a few reasons:

He started dating his wife when she was like 17 and he was in his late 30's

He whines about PC culture on college campuses making it hard for him as comedian despite the fact that he has never worked blue, basically using it as an excuse to explain the fact that young people find him about as funny as hearing the death rattle of your only child

He did a reddit AMA a while ago, and holy gently caress was he rude. A while after, I brought up this fact, and a poster in Cinema Discusso said that when Jerry stayed at the hotel the goon worked at, he was insanely rude to staff and didn't tip on anything despite being staggeringly rich.
