But since Jon Lovitz IS the Critic and that show doesn’t require an ensemble of people it could still work if they brought it back like Beavia and Butthead. Same with Duckman.

I am not advocating for more Duckman.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Did you see the flash webisodes? I loved the show but man...

My kids watch new Simpsons. The voices are noticeably different that it's jarring. When we watch Simpsons as a family they know my husband and I will only watch "old Simpsons".

Yeah, exactly. I'm not advocating for more Critic, I'm just saying it's not a complete graveyard. Also it is kind of weird that Jay and his parents are alive but the two kids are dead.

Teach your children well. "Classic" not "old", "classic". I'm sure there's some good education reason for making that distinction. ....possibly.

Okay yeah, probably not. Old Simpsons is fine. :(

Duckman is a show so very saturated in 1990s culture that seeing it in any other time period would really diminish it.

I watched most of it a few years ago when it was all on YouTube (maybe it still is idk) and I was surprised that more of it held up than didn't, although some of the stuff that didn't hold up really didn't. But a lot of the charm of the show lies in its exasperation with 90s cultural mores and if they do the same thing in 2023, say, it could only come off as either dated or mean spirited. It would be like trying to do Married With Children today.

I got a blizzard for the first time in like 15 years recently, and part of the handoff was the kid making it turned it upside down right before handing it to me in some dead faced corporate flourish to show off how thick it was.

I've heard a story multiple times relatively recently, I think from a coworker but maybe somewhere else, of somebody going from working at DQ to McDonald's, doing that turn it over thing out of habit, and spilling the shake everywhere.

Yeah I've heard that but DQ sells drinks and shakes too and the McDonald's equivalent is a mcflurry which would probably be just fine turned upside down

Late time I got a blizzard was at least 20 years ago and that was definitely a thing you were supposed to do when making it. I've definitely had them spill everywhere when flipped though.

There's a label next to the drive through window at the DQ near me that basically says "only the first Blizzard in an order will be flipped", I'm assuming because ambient temperatures would make the remaining ones too risky.

But also it implies at least one person complained to store management that their Blizzard didn't get flipped, which is hateful and yet sadly unsurprising

The easy, attractive way to show this is a giant, delicious looking scoop taken kind of it to show the filling. It's pretty much the standard glamor shot for ice cream, to the point that it shows up in a ton of stock images:



I'll guarantee that the reason you got this is that some dumb focus group person got confused and asked a bunch of questions along the lines of :byodood: DOES IT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM HOW DO I KNOW IT GOES TO THE BOTTOM I AM CONFUSED :byodood: and the graphical design team had to come up with this dumb cross section as a result.
