I am enjoying it as a combination of genres/styles that I would definitely not have thought to combine (cooking, puppeteering, and whatever that musical style is).
I wondering if that's inspired or if all possible combinations are getting thrown against the wall to see if they stick.

If a genre sticks to the wall, it's ready.

I don't think the cheetah is real.

It's pretty wonderful. Good lord there was a lot of creativity out there waiting for a way to be shown.

Could this be the thread where we talk about the very odd places YouTube has taken us? Should I wait until comment 40?

You should put in 35 on topic comments.

Puppet fetish is on topic. Or cooking.

Or how easily we all adapted to the single-person sketch conventions, like where the exact same person in a wig, or just a longsleeve shirt hanging down from their head is a new female character. It turns out that the audience is willing to do a whole lot of the interpretation if the sketch is good.

7: which brings to life how something as bare bones as Greek theater worked.

Our conventions are so far from that that even when a production recreates Greek style (or tries to anyway) it comes off as artificial or academic. But what you're describing isn't (necessarily) mannered, and people take it at face value. Sometimes the non-costume is part of the gag, but mostly it's pure signifier and people filter out the specifics of the sign.

This is great.

Objectively anti-ketosis.

Love it. (And yup, that's how you make pasta.)

I've never made pasta. My family made it once and honestly it wasn't very good. I make sauce though. That's where the flavor is.

7- I'm a Glaucomflecken fan, he's quite good at the multiple recurring characters played by the same person bit.
12- We got one of these and it's pretty foolproof for making good fresh pasta. When we fled the city for a couple weeks during the early pandemic we brought it along with 50lb of flour and 10 dozen eggs.

I want my wife and son to try harder. Only way they'll learn.

I like Glaucomflecken as well.

The final dance in Dirty Dancing, but they're dancing to The Muppet Show theme tune.

Apparently a Twitter exclusive:

That's the way I remember it from the movie.

I remember seeing it in the theater, the same weekend I froze the skin off my ear.

I think TikTok has a lot of good stuff but don't find the OP video esp. funny. The novelty of all three concepts combining, I guess, but not much beyond that.

Hit-and-miss, but I like this long series of two supervillains being friends, one absurdly powerful, the other with only "D tier" powers, both nonbinary, who are friends and maybe someday more. To the minimalism in 7, the only difference is the "S tier" has a glowing-eyes visual effect applied. The creator brazenly used some noncanon content (where they get together) as leverage to amass fanfiction, of which there are now over 1,500 works.

Apparently, Summer Lee won the primary for the House by 800 votes. Second closest election I ever voted in, at least for an election with tens of thousands of votes. Still not official yet.

The closest was the one that started Ben Nelson's career.

It was Iris' first election, we all very wholesomely walked to the polls together (where the poll workers marveled at grown-up Iris, who was wearing a corset over her t-shirt) while she talked about all the research she'd done. For a minute this morning I was thinking that everyone we'd voted for won, then I remembered about Kenyatta. But we knew that was a lost cause, so no biggie.

I let Charlie vote for Elmo as a write-in once, so he's already kind of voted.

The lesson from Fetterman, from what I can tell, is "elect 6'8" people with prominent brow ridges and regional accents." How many of those are around?

Tons of shorter ones.

25 I think the lesson is elect a Big Chungus

I don't even know what that means.

I'm pretty sure Josh Shapiro isn't one and he needs to win too.

28: Just type things in at Google.com and you can learn the oddest things

When Elmer keeps an eye on the rabbit hole, Bugs Bunny becomes Big Chungus and starts to devour the plants, carrots, Elmer Fudd and everything he finds on his way before devouring the Universe in the process, causing Big Chungus to grow into an giant monster in the process.

So Fetterman's popularity is more evidence that the electorate is eager for the universe to end?

Why can't liberals be more like conservatives and only want to end human life on Earth instead of the universe?

28: Obligatory earworm.

to render palliative a waste of time.

31: I've been thinking about this and I've come up with a tentative answer. It's because of all the string theory in pop culture, so that the end of this universe doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Things aren't working well in this universe, but in some other universe Trump and Brexit lost ,and the virus mutated in some harmless way. And somehow, we exist in that universe too, so don't need to worry about dying.

I saw the Spiderman where that went really wrong. Physics should look into this.

17: if you like audio-visual mashesup allow me to suggest https://www.reddit.com/r/SharedBPM/comments/td60ag/145145_guess_whose_cat_eminemcats_the_musical_not/

The only solution is for Fetterman and Shapiro to make a double act where they play up their differences and insult/dote on each other alternately in public.

36 is good, but 17 is still my favorite.
