goddamn smirky eyebrow-raised badass poochie cartoons nowadays

My gf thinks it's funny that I get worked up every time I see a commercial for that Peter Rabbit abomination. It would've been cheaper to just film 90 minutes of someone wiping their ass with page after page from a Beatrix Potter treasury.

Think my kids would prefer to watch that. Actually anything with disgusting bodily functions works for them in terms of entertainment.

TBF, the characters in the original Potter stories often cruelly exploited one another's infirmities for a cheap laff, followed by a 'show me the mon-ay, byaaatch!'

i think i might've just found my "oh ffs shut up" line

My six-year-old son Callum has from 28 severe allergies – from all dairies to gluten, eggs, tomatoes and all forms of nuts and citrus.

For some reason, a 2017 AV Club article about the Poochie episode of The Simpsons was re-circulated on the site last week. It's OK.

Lego Movie 1 was alright, it's just funny how these cool toys have moved into the territory of smirky eyebrow-raised badass poochie cartoons.

iirc, ages-old ilx wisdom dictates that when a man says he finds a woman "annoying", it means he wants to fuck her.

(of shame)

She really does get the cartoon princess facial expressions perfectly. Some uncanny valley stuff. (Does "uncanny" also signal libidinous interest?)

The idea of reverse uncanny valley (not sure how else to describe it) is certainly a unique sort of creepy. Kind of like all those similar videos where people try to emulate video game NPCs.

honestly I can never tell if this sort of thing is just engineered for hate clicks

What bewilders me is people who can't distinguish decades whatsoever. 60s & 70s, but especially 80s & 90s kinda run together for them. I feel like due to consuming pop culture as a kid from every era 40s to the then-present I no problem at least guessing the decade correctly. My friend and I used to play the "what year was this movie released" and judging it solely on clothing and film stock we'd get within a year or 2 nearly every time.

Goddamit how'd that happen

if this was 1990 she would've gone to the NFL (National Forensic League) nationals in San Jose and totally dominated HI (Humorous Interpretation). rubbery face is pretty mesmerizing, though a little goes a long way.

How did she do this without accidentally splitting her face apart, is what I want to know

her eyes are nuts

Totally. Impressive if extremely cringe.

Is she lip-syncing? If so, where does the original audio come from?

Tik Tok is like a nightmare for creative expression. It’s all just people making their own versions of viral videos—often seeming to put a lot of time into mimicking what has already been done. No other social media platform has been nearly this dystopian.

People used to do stuff like that as their 'party trick' to amuse their friends, because such specialized talents were useless in any other part of life.

Tbh the disney princess impression seems actually well done and original. But it seems to be in the service of one of these viral memes—like her spin on it. And the “three looks” one is certainly that, I’ve seen it before.

did you miss Friendster

i miss vine

Vine was so much better.

3 Looks is based on a Jenna Marbles video from 2014, which has apparently seen a TikTok revival.

these people existed on vine but it was so easy to never encounter them if you didn't want to

if I could go back in time to erase one movie it would be Ace Ventura

i would read a paper tracing the decade-by-decade history of objectively insufferable comedy from 1900 to the present

if I could go back in time to erase one movie it would be Ace Ventura

It really did (to me) seem funny and norm-breaking at the time but now I'm kind of like, oh, I guess that's why there were norms

She's using some kind of filter, I think?

Some kind of image manipulation going on.

I feel so sorry for her central nervous system
