I like how a bunch of people are like “Duh, they eat cat meat in china sometimes, so you’re WRONG.” Nice job, Einstein. Yes, I know sometimes they eat cat meat in China and dog meat in Korea and it is literally only your cultural assumptions that make you think it’s wrong. Lambs are pretty goddamn cute and we eat them all the time here. My POINT was, that Chinese restaurants here in the West are not using cat food so cram your stupid racist juvenile jokes.
“Is it rape month again?” Can definitely go away. Cause as long as men and women are getting raped every month, it can damn well be rape month.
I am so fucking tired of Chuck Norris jokes. I am glad they are finally going away.
I knew Dawn. I saw when she walked up to the guy in the bar wearing a shirt that said that and cussed him out good. I watched her leave the bar with him.
Add me to the “Enough with the @#$% Princess Bride lines, already!” camp.
Hated the movie. Well, both times I tried to watch it, I fell asleep because it was so dull. So the fact that my nerd tribe has embraced it and won’t #$%^ shut up quoting the lines just makes it worse.
I feel the same way about Monty Python lines, but at least they were funny the first time.

Yes, indeed. When it comes to annoying, repetitive, no-longer-funny, out-of-context, you-think-you’re-cute-but-you’re-not drivel, those movies are certainly the Unholy Trinity.
Complaining about how in-jokes are unfunny is pointless. People don’t tell them because they are funny - almost by definition, they are not, as the ‘humour’ value derives from the fact that the audience has already heard them many times. People tell them in order to assert a sort of comradeship, to signal that they are part of the in-group, to pass the time, etc.
Almost every human group does this, it seems to be a universal behaviour, and complaining about it is not unlike Canute compaining about the tides.
