Waterboy

I once quoted this movie to some students I was TAing, and They didn't get it. I was like " this movie came out in like 2000. How do you not get it?" And then there was a long pause when one of them replied " I was 4 years old"

Vicki Vallencourt is way more of a white trash redneck than a goth.

You can't completely remove the goth from 1990s Fairuza Balk. It's literally impossible. Vicki is sort of goth through a redneck prism.

Its a spectrum

SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 19 pts · 1y (5 replies)

A spectrum from Elvira to Dolly Parton.

If they ever ask about me, tell them I was more than just a great set of boobs. I was also an incredible pair of legs. And tell them... tell them that I never turned down a friend. I... never turned down a stranger for that matter.

  • Cassandra Peterson as Elvira

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap

  • Dolly Parton as herself

Granted, those aren't that representative of them, but they're still both great lines 😁

I don't know what she is, but she woke something up deep inside my 12 year old mind and I was never able to turn it off

I remember a time when those were one in the same.

You'd be surprised at how similar they are. There's even a term for it called ya'llternative.

Goth chicks like country boys for some reason.

Even that four-year-old is now almost 30.

And how many people who watch it now are even going to realize that the coach is The Fonz?

almost 30

You. You stop that right now.

I know it's a joke to be afraid of getting older, but that joke actually causes serious issues.

Even though he was slightly discourteous to me recently, I'd still have to say Captain Insaneo.

I only ever saw the DVD / movie poster where it's just him standing there, I never saw this variant before this post myself. But looking it up seems like both were used throughout the release history.

Tbf I like movies from well before I was alive, like, the oldest I can think of that I like is from the 1930s.

It took you more time to do all that than it would've taken to answer the question like a decent human being.

burgersc12@mander.xyz · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Yeah, like two whole seconds! But it gets the message across that "this is a very simple search". Besides he already had a serious comment, and he was literally trying to make a joke, so I did the same thing.

Decoy321@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

That's fair. I'll concede that I thought they were originally asking a sincere question. People can have eclectic senses of humor, and I admit I don't always get them.
