Shrek 2 + favorite pop culture references

[sunnysurfer101]

Why does this work for this movie where it fails with most others?

[the-tin-dog]

Because Shrek is, at its core, a parody.

It isn’t a silly film making pop-culture references. It’s a *parody* film making a *parody* of pop-culture.

Since most of the references are pretty solidly “classic” or at the very least extremely memorable moments in cinema, over multiple decades of time, they resonate really well even with modern audiences.

[starburstdragon]

It also (crucially, at least in my opinion) doesn’t kill the scene if you don’t know what’s being referenced. Puss reaching back for his hat before the door closes is still funny if you haven’t seen Indie do it. Pinocchio using his strings to lower himself carefully downwards that way is genuinely clever regardless of the Mission Impossible parody. The fact that the furniture is dancing with Fairy Godmother serves to further highlight her character and role whether or not you connect it to Beauty and the Beast. The references serve to enhance the scenes they’re in when you recognize, not to leave you behind if you don’t.

[bookwormscififan]

^^ And this is why Shrek 2 remains my favourite Shrek movie of all time.

The first time I ever saw this film, I’d say I was about 6, and I loved it because it was funny. As I grew older I began to understand the references, but they just made the movie cooler.

the complete trilogy

[charlesoberonn]

If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.

[ironmyrmidon]

"If you look closely, you can see traces of chalk dust on the floor. Our murderer must have used a magic circle to kill our victim."

"Actually Holmes, this looks like salt. Quite unusual for a magic circle, since it can be scattered so easily..."

"It tastes like salt too. Good eye Watson. Let us start by visiting the fish mongers."

"Well I would enjoy some fried dragonfish, but how does this help our investigation?"

[charlesoberonn]

"A process of elimination, my long-eared friend. There're only two ways for the culprit to get salt in the city. They could have brought it in themselves-"

"But then they'd have to pay the tarrif!"

"Very astute! No, a much likelier option is that they bought it here. Either the docks or the meat market would be the place. And I have a hunch that our culprit is fishy in more ways than one."

[charlesoberonn]

"But Holmes, how did you know the merfolk ambassador was the killer?"

"An excellent question, the key was the footprints."

"But he doesn't even have feet!"

"He doesn't as of right now. But you forget, the magic circle."

"I see! The killing spell was a water spear, which normally requires a circle."

"But doesn't if you're already imbued with water magic like our scaly ambassador."

"So the circle..."

"To grant him a pair of feet. For just long enough to leave distinctive footprints in the scattered salt and to make us suspect a two-legged killer."

"By the Goddess, Holmes, you're a genius!"

[illuminopseudonymous]

Makes sense.

Anyway, getting sheer autism vibes from Holmes

[charlesoberonn]

Good. That means I wrote him in-character.

[so-many-ocs]

“everyone is going to hate it” someone will love it. someone will reach out to you and tell you it changed their life. someone will hold it close and treasure it forever in a way you can’t even understand. keep going

Skeletons… gotta be one of my favourite genders <3

[candace-gertrude-flynn-deactiva]

Sometimes a family can be a robot, a goth girl, a platypus secret agent and an evil scientist (Doof & Perry are the parents and Vanessa & Norm are the children)

[candace-gertrude-flynn-deactiva]

I can’t believe Genghis Khan by Miike Snow is a copy of Phineas and Ferb

[11111111111101111111111-deactiv]

They are the family ever 🥹. I hope we get to see more moments like these in the new episodes

[11111111111101111111111-deactiv]

Yes! Here is it:

And here’s the original :

It’s astrounding how identical they are 🤯🤯

[11111111111101111111111-deactiv]

“He’s a platypus, they don’t do much”

I N C O R R E C T!!!!

that platypus is married and has 2 children

[tracobuttons]

[clockheartedcrocodile]

I can’t really post it as a poll bc it’s more of an Essay Question, but I’m curious:

What was the first queer fictional character you can remember seeing or reading about? If you can’t remember the first, then just think back as far as you can. For me I think it was Captain Jack Harkness.

[tobi-for-short]

Unknowingly, Nico di Angelo from the original Percy Jackson book series (it was revealed later).

Knowingly, Alex from the Magnus Chase series. Bonus points for introducing me to gender fluidity as well.

[crabs-but-better]

fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra ‘forbidden time’ by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out

[amiru-shrubfeast]

Shit this is great! You can get so much done if you don't sleep!

THE CONSEQUENCES

[catchymemes]

[bidoofcrossing]

[possiblyawesometmblr]

my brain just spat out what is simultaneously the best and worst potential end credit scene for fnaf

a bunch of cops are surveying the inside of the wreckage of freddy's. there's dead bodies. they're taking pictures. chatting amongst themselves. whatever. one guy in a detective style trenchcoat is standing off to the side. his back is to the camera. one of the cops breaks away and approaches the detective guy.

"so, what do you think happened here?"

"i'm not sure."

the entire audience freezes in horror as they realize. they know that voice. the camera pans around to face the guy, and slowly. matpat removes the sunglasses he's wearing indoors.

"but i have a theory."

smash cut to black. the theater collapses, killing me, in the audience, instantly--

[tobi-for-short]

I would straight up DIE
