This makes me so sad. Patrick Warburton is voicing a character for a "show" on Dail Wire, Ben Shapiro's right-wing streaming service. Ever since Emporer's New Grove, hearing his voice in random projects was always an unexpected delight. Now I'll only be able to think of this poo poo.Koburn posted:

His Last Comic Standing sets were funny and generally steered clear of shithead conservative punching down humor, but they weren't all that far off. That was a long time ago and considering the trajectory the world's been on since then... yeah.

Speaking of, there's a very popular norwegian christmas song, Christmas Psalm From North Norway, that's all about how it sucks to live in northern Norway in the winter. It almost gets sarcastically when it gets to the last lines: God's peace on the animals in the manger, And this frozen and barren earth

If we're including modern Christmas songs though, gently caress Christmas Wrapping a thousand times with the devil's pitchfork.

Think of it this way, the movie is predicated on the song, so no song, no movie.

It’s weird when there’s a half-hour animated holiday special that has no connection to an existing property. Charlie Brown I get, but things like Scary Godmother and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer baffle me. Was it a pilot for something?

Plus Christmas stuff gets broadcast non-stop for over one month every year, that's residuals out the wazoo. I would love to know what percentage of Paul McCartney's fortune is thanks to Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime (IMO one of the worst songs in the English language), I would bet it's shockingly large. EDIT: Oh somebody actually did the math: quote:So just exactly how much money does the song generate per year? Rochallor has a new favorite as of 04:34 on Dec 7, 2023 |

Here in Australia we pretty much all grew up listening to the classic 80's Aussie Christmas song 'Hey Santa Claus' by Kevin Bloody Wilson which is  because it drops a lot of c-bombs Doesn't get a lot of radio play tho

After watching this I understand completely, and will show this to them, thank you I never even realized the implied ruthless selfishness of the unnamed clerk still refusing the kid who did actually have some money. Zero spirit of Christmas in that man

Since we're lambasting terrible Christmas songs, Tarja (former Nightwish lead singer) decided that we need an album of "dark" versions of holiday favorites. Imaginatively titled Dark Christmas. Here. Enjoy dark Frosty. https://youtu.be/Kix4fCr91p8?si=V_InedI_BFHa04Gt

Meh, she's not exactly breaking new ground. Actual good dark (or darkwave, or goth,) Christmas music has been a thing for nearly 30 years. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq-EnWj1sLxH2kcybRsuKR7sna6GNGfaP (Yes, I know it says 2021 Remaster. The original album dropped in 1995. I might even still have the CD somewhere.  )

Rob Riggle is a former Marine so his Chud Turn didn't come as much of a surprise. Most vets I know and served with fall into that category. Anyway this is a very geo-specific thing but the thread has me thinking about what might not have aged well from when I was a kid. Williams and Ree were billed as "The Indian and the White Guy" and they did a musical/comedy act that was fairly popular where I grew up. Their big schtick was that we are all the same, so it is fine to make fun of everyone! There is a lot to be said for satire done correctly, but I don't think this was always, if ever, that. I was a young, impressionable prarie lemur in South Dakota so I didn't know much better and really leaned into it as a kid/teen. If you can get through this 6 minute video, congrats I guess. I couldn't do it and I used to LOVE these guys. I try to be a better person now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t56ATFK_olI

He first made his name on noted lib staple The Daily Show, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's somewhat of a turn, or even more likely he's just a guy who will take a paycheck from anyone.

He's a comedian who has a ton of background/one scene roles in comedies. Usually as a needlessly violent/stupid cop. I wouldn't be surprised if it'd just a paycheck for him, his niche isn't exactly paying rent when hardly anyone is making those kinds of comedies anymore.

Do any characters in media refer to the bathroom as the "little girls/boys" room any more? I feel like that used to be ubiquitous for some reason but I guess greater awareness of either child sex abuse or how stupid that euphemism was killed it.
