This is my favorite running joke as I can't think of a scene that isn't immediately improved by it.

Yeah, I haven't seen the vast majority of the movies reviewed by WHM and I still get a laugh out of them. The aforementioned Invisible Child, Blame It on Rio and He-Man Christmas Special were all funny as hell with me staying far, far away from the source material.

I saw this once, one ill-fated afternoon some ten years ago. Yet as I clicked the link... I knew.

Catching up, but I was surprised at the idea so many of y'all consider the WHM guys to be a "boy's club" thing. They've always struck me as fairly feminist, just not in the "look at me, I'm so noble" sort of way. They're always quick to call out gross behavior towards ladies. They've certainly never irked me.

Also, Yoda Man was my favorite part of that TCM movie and I'm so happy they recognized him as the best character. There's zero indication he's not a prop dummy before he just gets up and peaces out.

I was moreso referring to the discussion from a few pages back:

I have a feeling these guys probably have some extremely lovely fans.

well why not posted:

apart from us? yeah, definitely. This show is kind of a boy's club and I think misog' dudes gravitate to stuff like this.

Catfishenfuego posted:

Plus for all that the dudes seem like genuinely decent guys there's a bunch of rape/pedophilia jokes in like, 50% of the episodes.

Which I thought was surprising as they come off as pretty feminist to me. Another poster mentioned the jokes tend to not be at the expense of the victim, which might be why they never irk me? I dunno, I'd have to go out looking for specific examples. Regardless, I never feel like they're talking down to me for having a vag. That cannot be said of all media personalities. :smith:

I just figured the misog crowd would be turned off at all the jokes at their expense. Whatevs. :shrug:

Haha "misog crowd." That's great. I think some of these people are SO checked out that the progressivism flies over their heads until the gang does something overt enough for them to notice, like be wrong about a video game. From the mailbag episodes it certainly seems like they get a lot of missives directly from the bowels of reddit.

:psyduck: I was borrowing the term from the poster I quoted further up the page. I'm not even sure what we're arguing about anymore. I resign.

e: Quoted on the last page now, I guess.
