Just heard a woman in the street talking about all the things she wants to try and then burst out ‘Oh, just let me good at something!’

And oh, I feel that. Let me good at something. Not satisfactory, not runner up material, not ‘almost but not quite.’ Just - good at something

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

In this Bible story (Matthew 15:21-28), Jesus is traveling abroad when a Canaanite woman runs up and begs Him to cure her daughter, who's being tormented by a demon. Jesus tests her faith, saying His mission is only to the Jews, not to Gentiles like her, but at her humility, persistence, and unshakable faith, He finally honors her and answers her prayer, and her daughter is immediately cured, presumably without Jesus having to go to her at all.

In this cartoon, we cut away from Jesus and the Canaanite woman to imagine the curing of the woman's daughter. In this cartoon, the demon leans over the tormented girl, whispering poison into her soul. Then the angels show up, dressed like mafia heavies. Gabriel, ever the spokesman, plays up the mafioso bit with all the quips, accent, and slang that he can muster. Meanwhile, Michael, ever the warrior, prepares for a very one-sided fight.

Gabriel starts by barging into the house and SAYING "knock knock" instead of actually knocking on the door first. This is a power move to assert dominance.

Gabriel tells the demon to pack up, make like a tree, and scramoose. There's a common idiom that goes thusly: "Make like a tree and LEAVE." It's a way to tell someone to go away while playing on the similarity between the words "leave" (like "go away") and "leaf" or "leaves" (like the green stuff in trees). Gabriel uses the first half of the saying but not the second, which messes up the whole point of the idiom. This is a power move to assert dominance. Because the idiom is so well-known, a subversion like this ends up being funny by cutting off the obvious, expected punchline, and replacing it with something unfitting and absurd. I worked very hard on this new joke, so please don't steal it and go back in time to use it before me so I look like I stole it. Thanks in advance!

"Scramoose" is a mix between "scram" (like "go away") and "vamoose" (like "go away") for double the "go away" action! This is a power move to assert dominance.

For those who don't know, "sign language" is a form of communication where people use hand gestures to represent letters or words. It's commonly used for the hearing or vocally impaired, who can't use normal spoken languages. Because sign language involves "talking" with your hands, in this cartoon, Gabriel uses "sign language" as a euphemism for "beating someone up." This is a power move to assert dominance.

Sorry we put your autistic boyfriend in the fandom and they completely infantilised him. Sorry yeah he's an innocent baby who's never even heard of a sex and doesn't know a single swearword now. Yeah they're treating him like the team kid and calling his friends his parents I'm so sorry about this. Yeah I know he's committed felonies in canon but it doesn't matter it's too late now I'm sorry

Markiplier does on the surface seem like an odd choice for directing and starring in a serious scifi horror movie, but in terms of getting scared at a computer screen and dying badly in space, his resume is remarkably stacked.
