Who Gave Me The Internet @whogavemetheinternet - Tumblr Blog

My Little Pony had a herculean level of restraint because they only did this style of gag two or three times. And when they did it, they made it count.

I had a Terry’s Chocolate Orange once in an airport 10 years ago (they’re very hard to come by in the US, I’ve never seen them sold anywhere else) and I think about it everyday.

byjove

So what you’re saying in the replies is that they are sold everywhere and they’re just hiding them from me every time I enter a store.

byjove

So what you’re saying is some sort of evil sorcerer put a curse on me to make Terry’s chocolate oranges totally invisible to me.

byjove

Attempting to obtain the orange by other means is not working.

My mother just told me she bought me a chocolate orange one year for Christmas and put it in my stocking over the fireplace and it MELTED BEFORE I COULD EAT IT. I’m starting to think there is an actual curse on me and this is no longer a joke.

Love the concept of scissors. Someone was like, “a knife is clumsy for this task, what if I used TWO knives?” and they were right.

Specifically, two knives strapped together. Which is even more unhinged.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Oh no the knives are definitely hinged, that’s intrinsic to their function.

Very Good Trope: Civillian is told “ stay in the car” while hero goes to confront villain. Hero gets in over head and all seems disaster. Civillian crashes car into villain.

unamedwatcher

Me, watching: ohhohoho! But they stayed in the car! Yesss, this is very good!

the-tropes

Half the fun is that they followed the letter of the order while violating the spirit. The other half is watching Chekhov’s Civillian smash through the wall.

chekhov’s civilian, i love it. you can stay.

we make fun of thorin getting lost in the shire but you know the nazgul also had to keep asking for directions to find bag end so maybe hobbits’ city planning is just wack

The Hobbits have spent generations making their roads complex af to keep Gandalf out

Theory accepted

#which is why they’re always so sulky whenever he shows up………….#oh………….you found ur way back………………how nice…………….. (via @thisbrilliantsky)

enjolrasapproves

Which is also why Gandalf is always late

ivanaskye

but of course this is the absolute Least successful way to keep GANDALF of all people out, because-

it’s a challenge

that WON’T potentially kill him

which is really in short supply lately.

so while the hobbits think they are being hostile. what they are actually saying in Gandalf-speak is “please come back. we love you.”

Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.

Truly the family that just keeps giving.

I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.

It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:

also on the topic of buffy i love dawn. i understand why a lot of people hate her but i love her so very much. her introduction was so fucking ballsy and it WORKED imo i would have KILLED to have been watching season 5 as it aired. also she is smart and wonderful and i love her <3

whogavemetheinternet

As someone that watched as it aired…it was very jarring.

At the time I was a teen and working, I wasn’t able to watch every week when it aired. For most of the previous seasons this was ok. Miss an episode here or there and you could mostly figure out what was going on. Season 5 wasn’t like that for me. I didn’t really understand the season until I watched it back on DVD years later. And I even had my dad who watched every week try to catch me up on what I missed.

So for me I don’t think I would say it’s that I didn’t like Dawn, it was more just a whole “wTF” vibe for the whole season.

I blazed this post yesterday as a kind of "event" for one of Tumblr's unofficial "holidays", and right now it's a little bit past the halfway point in the campaign (it was approved later than I expected).

I have to say it's not doing badly, and has been an interesting experience to follow!

manyblinkinglights

Is this literally what it is? It’s just It’s Gonna Be May but we’re riffing on his hair? Please, I’m so gullible. This is the real thing that it is, right?

thischick25

Yup! It went from captioned screenshots or gifs of Justin Timberlake from the music video making fun of his pronunciation of "me" as "may" (+/- the "roses are red" type poetry), that specifically say "It's Gonna Be May",

To unrelated (and often uncaptioned) pictures of Justin from any old thing/era, that people understood as "it's gonna be May",

To an obscure reference to his "ramen noodle hair" era vis-a-vis a block of uncooked ramen that takes the place of the picture of Justin!

So now, during the last week of April when you see:

Roses are red,

April is grey,

But in a few days,

Then you understand via the chain of logic that "uncooked ramen noodles" = unrelated photo of Justin Timberlake = "it's gonna be May"!

curlicuecal

This is one of my favorite memes because it's so many levels iterated from the original. :3

Anyway here's another:

Thank you!!

detectivehole

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

detectivehole

hes 19, with unlimited power, and he ain’t got a gf. the only time we see him interact with any women his own age is when he’s rejecting like 7 of them rapid fire. he pretends to date pacha in a gag that lasts like 10 solid minutes. listen to me god damnit

qqueenofhades

Okay, but just in case anyone is coming to tumblr dot com for my hot takes on 20+ year old kids' movies: Kuzco super WAS gay (or at least coded as such) and of course, I didn't get it until I watched it as a gay grownup.

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

So yes. There you have it. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

flavinbagel

In response to the question “How did a movie like this get made at all much less by fucking Disney?” there was a recent Vulture article that outlines the whole shit show of a history behind this film according to everyone (writers, directors, VAs, Stings) involved. The gist of the story is that they fucked up making a whole, true-to-form Disney musical that never came to see the light of day SO BADLY that Disney switched directors, locked the writer’s room, and didn’t review a single script until weeks after the film was in theaters.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:
