What about the situations where the person lays the smackdown on themselves, then tries to dig out of it, to no avail?
Let me present unto the committee the work of Doorhinge , taken from the The Repeal of Obamacare/ACA: Step-by-step, Inch-by-inch thread:
First there was me:
(It’s a reference to the iconic Depression-era photograph of a worried woman in the Dust Bowl)
Ann Hedonia then responds:
(She obviously got the joke).
Then, right after, our boy Doorhinge posts the following:
The Dope Responds:
Even I take a shot:
About 15, 20+ years ago I was talking to somebody on AOL who went through a tornado and they remarked “they said it sounded like a train, but I didn’t hear a single ‘choo-choo’.” (Later, I heard other people say this on those disaster porn shows so it’s apparently a thing).
Congratulations on beating the choo-choo tornado guy for the dumbest thing ever said to me on the internet. Please, take your response and frame it, displaying it proudly on your wall for you may never attain such heights again.
Or… at least for the rest of this week.
Bad enough, right? But then… Doorhinge doubles-down
There, there. It’s going to be OK. Tony Haile duped you into thinking that you had discovered an iconic photo of a wanna-be iPhone user, and you couldn’t wait to share your discovery with others. That’s so cute. Better luck next time.
The Dope Responds:
It’s a very recognizable photo (hence iconic). Many people understood the poignant juxtaposition of the similarities between a poor 1930’s mother and a 2017 mother. The woman in the photo had sold her tires to pay for food. A modern mother who lives in poverty will have to decide what to sell to pay for health insurance.
It’s even more ironic since Lange’s photos at the time helped usher in social changes to help the poor get out of their situation and not fall back. Yet here we are nearly 100 years later with similar struggles. Except now people are fighting to ensure she stays poor and falls further into poverty.
(That was very patient of you, Filmore. We should all try to do likewise.)
Yes, but its recognition factor is due, in considerable measure, to its historical significance, and dumbfucks like doorhinge have no interest in learning from history.
That HAS to be it…not because you’re a drooling cretin, nope, no way, no how. Kindly unplug your keyboard and save the rest of us from your stupidity.
Doorhinge Responds:
I respond:
(Witty retort!)
The Board Responds:
So wait. Do I have this right:
You GOT the original joke, but decided to play it straight - and then, when called on that, thought JohnT was the dummy who didn’t get the joke?
Walk me through it slowly. I’m as confused by this as by the White House’s position on Obama’s “wiretaps.”
I think you’re burying the lede here, which is that you learned something , which many of us didn’t think was possible. If you further confound our expectations by *retaining *that information you will be well on your way to becoming a fully functioning human being.
I’m not interested in “burying the lede” with you. Ever. But thanks for asking.
As to the rest - According to whom? You? According to your standards? Do you have any standards that haven’t been supplied by your favorite political party?
This is so sad. Another tragic victim of Coprolitic Brain Syndrome - a heartbreaking, overlooked disease. You have my sympathies, and you can take heart in the much-needed attention our current President is bringing to the pitiably afflicted.
Chin up, buckaroo. Many CBS victims have found rewarding careers in the food service industry.
You’re as confused as I am. I’m going to have to assume that he got the original joke (because, yes, it’s quite obviously a joke. That’s one of the most famous photos in American history) and is just purposely being difficult and is amusing himself and only himself in the process.
The Prosecution rests.
