My main memory of Doug Stanhope is from shortly after he got he Man Show gig and they had him "hosting" a Girls Gone Wild video, and in the ad he shouts at a group of girls to "Show us where babies feed!" Even as a horny teenager at the time it was really offputting, if I was watching a Girls Gone Wild video I really don't want to be also thinking about babies.

And someone liked that moment enough to put it in the girls gone wild commercials, the ones that ran practically nonstop on late-night basic cable. I never saw the actual video but I saw that commercial so, so many times, and it was just as :chloe: a moment as you remember.

One of my college roommates got very drunk and bought some of the Girls Gone Wild tapes. The ones we watched were about 95% incredibly boring and 5% unspeakably creepy.

I was surprised I couldn't find it on YouTube, sadly it's as burnt into my brain as the Sears Air Conditioner commercial and Crossfire.

I'm pretty sure it just originated from a thinkpiece about why home ownership is very low among millennials. The brainlord author chalked it up to frivolous spending and just mentioned avocado toast as an example of such spending. It stood out as particularly asinine because it was kind of an unusual thing to list. Unlike, say, lattes or whatever people aren't buying avocado toast daily.

Avocados cost about 2 dollars each, was this person some ancient fogey who thinks of avocados as some strange and expensive exotic fruit?

Supposedly smart people trying to explain why they believe in God using scientific language is always a huge sign that they aren't that smart.
You can't explain it, it's belief, if there's a scientific explanation then it's not God.

Anyone who sells Avocado Toast for $30 and anyone willing to pay $30 for Avocado Toast should both be shot in the head for the betterment of humanity. The same way you put down a rabid dog.

Ruskin posted:

"And be sure also, if the author is worth anything, that you will not get at his meaning all at once -- nay, that at his whole meaning you will not for a long time arrive in any wise. Not that he does not say what he means, and in strong words, too; but he cannot say it all and what is more strange, will not, but in a hidden way and in parable, in order that he may be sure you want it. I cannot see quite the reason of this, nor analyse that cruel reticence in the breasts of wise men which makes them hide their deeper thought. They do not give it to you by way of help, but of reward, and will make themselves sure that you deserve it before they allow you to reach it."

Masterful Literary Shitposter Sam Clemens posted:

The conversations in the Cooper books have a curious sound in our modern ears. To believe that such talk really ever came out of people's mouths would be to believe that there was a time when time was of no value to a person who thought he had something to say; when it was the custom to spread a two-minute remark out to ten; when a man's mouth was a rolling-mill, and busied itself all day long in turning four-foot pigs of thought into thirty-foot bars of conversational railroad iron by attenuation; when subjects were seldom faithfully stuck to, but the talk wandered all around and arrived nowhere; when conversations consisted mainly of irrelevancies, with here and there a relevancy, a relevancy with an embarrassed look, as not being able to explain how it got there.

Uhh ok. I was saying that because I think that believing something because it makes you happy is totally fine, and a valid reason to do so. I think its weird that people often try really hard to justify stuff through science when it doesnt work, and doesnt really require justification. If you say "i believe i'll be rewarded for my good deeds in the afterlife because it makes me happy and gives me purpose" then thats 100% fine by me, as long as the part they're grooving on isnt hurting others.

That’s probably why he said it, the man has nothing but contempt for the “edgy white guy” demographic they were marketing him to at the time.

In all seriousness, everyone should watch his bit about helping his mother drink herself to death and committing credit card fraud, it’s genuinely heartwarming.

If you just stop eating avocado toast you too can become a selfmade millionaire like Tim Gurner

quote:

And it all began with a humble gym in the Melbourne suburb of Elwood, when Mr Gurner was just 19 years old.
“I saw an opportunity and took over the lease,” he told news.com.au.

“I didn’t even know what I was doing, to be totally honest, but it was a really good opportunity, a good spot.”

His grandfather gave him $34,000 to kickstart the project
