Maybe it's the meme equivalent of a double negative. "Nobody said nothin', but dis guy over heah?" In truth, I assume it evolved from "...said absolutely nobody" which makes sense because you actually have a phrase in there to attribute to "nobody"

Grassy Knowles posted:The idea is that the not "nobody" speaker is responding to something so outrageous that literally no one asked. The "nobody:" is nobody asking. But that also scans as nobody not asking anything. You can see the confusion here. I don't necessarily think there's a good way to "correct" the joke format, mind you. It's just that if I tried to invent it myself and explain it, I wouldn't be able to, because it doesn't actually make sense. It mostly works but I'm not really sure why.

I don't remember what it was, but I was reading something a few days ago that used the term "pay it forward" and explicitly contrasted it with the phrase "pay it back", and suddenly it clicked. I never quite understood the etymology of the phrase, I only knew what it meant by hearing it used in context. But it makes more sense thinking of it as the opposite of paying someone back for something.

Captain Splendid posted:The guy on the screen is shot as if he's in the same room, rather than on a screen. I think that was possibly intentional, a futuristic 3D thingie... Though I'm sure ultimately the real answer is just that at the time, it was genuinely more expensive to make a screen that big (or artificially add perspective to the footage) than to greenscreen it.

To be fair, American poor people food is also usually outrageously unhealthy, almost maliciously so due to the fact that it's practically made of industrial byproducts. There's some anger at the industry built into this. Plenty of people will go to bat for stuff like biscuits, sausage & hash browns, but not so much for stuff like boiled potatoes covered with plastic cheese and canned Campbell's Cream Of Citation Needed

I loved diving into Stevie's discography a few years back. I still haven't even heard a huge chunk of it from the super-Motown days, or the 80s-and-up, but his 70s run was a legendary career in its own right. Feels like the rest is just icing. His last single (to date) back during the 2020 election season was pretty fire too. The rap features do suffer a bit from what I'd describe as "very NPR" production. But it's also kind of a funny fake out, because you think Busta is going to be the one who earns the Explicit tag, but he isn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgdfxeh0WtE

There's a Metallica B-side from Death Magnetic called "Hate Train", which is cringeworthy enough for starting off with the lyric "Hate! Is a train!" But I also just realized it's supposed to rhyme with "freight train"  (Still a pretty sick song all things considered, should've been on the album)

Porfiriato posted:The song "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" which Disney likes to spam everywhere, especially at their parks, is from their otherwise-memory-holed 1946 racist classic Song of the South. I even had it on an old sing-along VHS (with footage included), which was definitely at the point where they knew they were never going to re-release the movie, but before the internet age where they had to really bury it. The tape also had "Beauty and the Beast" so I guess it probably came out shortly after that hit home video. Of course it's possible they cut out anything particularly problematic, but I gather it's more a matter of the whole movie feeling in poor taste, rather than specific moments. (They include the villain song from The Great Mouse Detective but omit the line about "widows and orphans you've drowned" which is pretty drat cold)

YouTubers quitting after 10 years makes sense when you consider that most actual TV shows with a full staff also don't go more than 10 years, at least without a significant turnover in staff. It's kind of crazy to think one person plus an editor or two could keep it going.FFT posted:Yeah, she's killing it. I'm old enough to remember when people were saying this exact same thing about her career, but in reference to this song.

I mean I think everyone's doing a pretty good job explaining it. It's not like you take a fully-formed clip and just cut out a few mistakes. At minimum, you have to watch multiple separate pieces of footage to figure out what the good and bad parts even are. That takes at least as much time as the footage itself, there's really no way around that.

PancakeTransmission posted:Yeah grammatically it made no sense unless you actually read it as "gently caress me". Maybe it just got past surface-level censors just doing a ctrl-F I mean, it "gets past" the censors because she's not literally saying a vulgar word, even though it's obvious what she means. It wasn't exactly a massive hit anyway, so we can't really gauge how much she got away with it. If it was played in tons of grocery stores or kids' movie trailers or something, that would be pretty remarkable. As it stands, it's like the Onion headline of Marilyn Manson going door-to-door trying to shock people.

Based on the fact that "semper ubi sub ubi" is a common first-year Latin pun, translated very roughly to "always wear underwear"... ...that would also mean "Ubisoft" essentially means "software", using the same pun logic. (More literally "where soft" but I think you get what I mean. Or maybe you don't and it's just the NyQuil talking) Sir Lemming has a new favorite as of 12:05 on Mar 18, 2024 |

Improbable Lobster posted:I feel like a lot of the reruns and rereleases of the past, which helped to bring older media/pop culture into the current zeitgeist, don't really happen like they used to. Like yeah the old shows and stuff are on streaming but they're usually difficult to find unless you're looking for a specific one that you already know about. The paradigm of 3 TV networks each showing one thing at a given time was a unique force in pop culture (in the USA) from roughly the 50s to the end of the 90s. Reruns of that stuff were in constant circulation, and older theatrical shorts were basically just untapped reserves of pop culture waiting for TV to arrive. In fact I'm guessing theatrical stuff had a bit of a longer tail because of the obvious disparity in production values. But I think the combination of the Internet and rapid advances in digital production really just blew that whole thing up. I'm not sure anything like that will happen again, and it feels like a huge shift to a lot of us, but in the grand scheme of things it might not be such a change for humanity.
