It was - this one (or, rather, the whole campaign it’s part of).
Fwiw, I haven’t seen Homeland since mid S2 but, out of the blue yesterday, it struck me Clare Danes’ entire character is intended as a metapor for the USA post 9-11.
Duh!
We’re watching the Netflix season of Arrested Development on DVD, and it only occurred to me last night that Gob (George Oscar Bluth (II)) is an obvious play on Jeb (John Ellis Bush). I managed to miss that through 3 1/2 seasons (and about 8 years), somehow.
So…what’s the song about then?
I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard the whole song, but now I’m intrigued
Sigh. She’s saying she has a big ass.
Boo-tay!
Bass-big ass.
Ooohhhh
Well look at that.
Thanks!
Watching Chicken Run for the first time in years just now, I realized that when Rocky slides through the vent inside the pie-making machine and lands feet-first in a ball of dough, he lets out a Homer Simpson–type “D’oh!” followed by “Get it? Dough!” :smack:
In Madagascar 2 they are in Africa and there is a lion who is always sleeping named “Teet see”…
Yea I’m really embarrassed I just got that tonight with it playing in the background for the upmteenth time.
I realized that Mercedes Lackey, Katherine Kurtz and Patricia Wrede must be friends or at least talk shop because I noticed various odd little details appearing near-simultaneously in various of their books. Such as an odd triangular dagger design that appeared in both Kurtz’s Adept books and Lackey’s Bardic Voices series, and the rather similar way they set up magical duels to work in respectively the Valdemar setting, Deryni setting and The Seven Towers.
This fits in nicely with the skinny-shaming of “All About that Bass”…
Are you familiar with “Earache My Eye”, the comedy skit by Cheech and Chong? It opens with a faux metal song, starting with the lyric “My momma talk to me / Try to tell me how to live / But I don’t listen to her / 'Cause my head is like a sieve /”.
There was a period when I listened to the Dr. Demento CD that contained that skit fairly often, and I always heard that line (without giving it much thought) as something like “'cause my tummy got too little.” My mind went there because I grew up with very frequent skinny-shaming.
I read the lyrics not long ago, and then it all made sense.
Yeah, I’m bitter.
Watching Guardians of the Galaxy again, totally forgot about this the first time I watched it because I was so blown away by the movie, but what is that orange carrot juice thing they spray on our heroes after they were sent to the floating space prison? Seems completely pointless. It wasn’t much of a shower if that was the purpose of it
I assumed they were delousing them.
That was my take as well. Or at least some kind of disinfectant.
Adam Ant…adamant :smack:
It just occurred to me that the “Rip” in Rip Van Winkle means “Rest In Peace”.
The title character on Bojack Horseman used to star in a Full House-like sitcom which had an “annoying neighbor” character named “Goober.” Took me a while to notice that name’s resemblance to Gibbler…
I just learned that Italian Wedding Soup isn’t traditionally served at weddings. It got its name because it uses a pairing of meat and vegetables and because traditional recipes use pairs of ingredients like two onions, two bunches of escarole, two carrots, two eggs, etc.
I don’t know that that’s… I mean there’s a resemblance, but I’m not sure it’s a thing.
It’s at least as relevant that she was a GABBER. But I think they were just going for a general nonsense-y sort of connotation (jibber jabber, babbler, etc.)
