C-Euro posted:I haven't watched Batman & Robin since someone pointed out to me that it's basically a Adam West-era Batman made and set in the 90s, but I wonder how different it feels with that mindset. even as a child I realized what they were going for due to watching Batman in reruns

TheSlutPit posted:It also helps that the daily show started out as just a general parody of news programs/weekend update style joke show. IIRC it wasn’t until a few years into the Bush era that it started taking itself seriously and trying to bundle real talking points into the satire format. Eventually it went to their heads sure but I do think part of the lightning-in-a-bottle was that they were basically the only news source outside of like college radio and Web 1.0 that wasn't under pressure to cheerlead for the Iraq war.

Xaris posted:this nah "They are the filthiest of God's creatures. They have no modesty in defecation and urination, nor do they wash after pollution from orgasm, nor do they wash their hands after eating. Thus they are like wild asses. Every day they must wash their faces and heads and this they do in the dirtiest and filthiest fashion possible: to wit, every morning a girl servant brings a great basin of water; she offers this to her master and he washes his hands and face and his hair -- he washes it and combs it out with a comb in the water; then he blows his nose and spits into the basin. When he has finished, the servant carries the basin to the next person, who does likewise. She carries the basin thus to all the household in turn, and each blows his nose, spits, and washes his face and hair in it." -Ahmad Ibn Fadlan 922 ce

At least the stories of vikings being too darn hygienic and sexy for English women to resist is told by the people made to look bad in the stories, making it far more trustworthy. one can simultaneously be too hygienic for the English and not hygienic enough for the Arabs, see for example the Italians

Some Guy TT posted:yeah thats an actual deliberate parallel because the stories are set up the same way and have similar themes by which i mean both are absurdist banter about side characters with ultimately minor roles in an epic story I think that you're just operating on a stricter definition of the same story than me and some other Campbell-pilled folks. From where I'm standing Star Wars and the Aeneid are also the same story as Hamlet

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I think people mistake archaic language as somehow being "enlightened" or in some way better. Old books were not (necessarily) written for smarter people than books today. The language changed and now that old poo poo is hard to read because nobody talks like that. It's better(worth more) because there's no new 15th century Spaniards writing novels, but thousands of assholes writing new poo poo every day. It's the same reason a Neolithic wheel barrel is better than your car.
