#everything I make is satire

[crispytubes]

I keep forgetting not everyone has the same humour as me

so everytime I say something like “I will peel your skin and hang it on the walls” or “instant Swiss piss” people would think I was actually insane

i fucking love this podcast have i mentioned i love this podcast hey guys i really love this podcast

#i feel like i got annoyed a lot the end of the last season bc i was thinking a little TOO much about it if that makes sense #and the break was good for me to remember why i love wtnv so much #and this episode ??????????? it was everything to me #it had all of the things i love about wtnv #michelle nguyen #cecil humming #a funny satirical ad #a deep sense of dread and helplessness couched in metaphor #and a beautiful little sneaky nod to the through line of plot #it was beautiful and i loved it #wtnv #wtnv spoilers

i cannot describe the rage i feel when i click on a fight club deep dive youtube essay, and it’s just… some dude, talking about how this film is the purest portrayal of masculinity and how “men love it because it’s so relatable”.

i mean, i love it because it’s relatable. but not in the way those sigma film bros do.

i love it because i’m gay, hate capitalism and would like to recreationally get beat up.

#why must i always get betrayed #the titles always sound so promising #and then they just spout this unreflected bs #like… don’t you know what satire is? ☹️ #if y’all have video essay recs that aren’t dumb men talking stupid send them my way pls #i started watching a german one today and couldn’t make it thru the first 3 minutes #how do they misinterpret everything???? #fight club #the narrator #tyler durden

Succession sweep complete with their final Best Drama win, and since I still feel empty after that final season, deserved.

Ralsei deltarune is literally so sketchy but also have we considered. That’s hes cute your honor have we considered this

#deltarune #decided im gonna replay deltarune and then maybe attempt to do evil bastard shit in undertale #cuz i am just so hyped up after replaying the pacifist route and want to do more but hm #just dont think im mentally prepared to kill these bitches yet #and ive literally forgotten everything that happens in ch1 of deltarune #im halfway through the first chapter and damn lol ralsei really is just so fucking sketchy #like he tells kris that their choices matter of course and he’ll support whatever they decide #but obviously kris cant actually make any decisions of their own and ralsei is like following the hero script to a T #and he gets upset with susie for constantly defying the narrative #i dont think id say ralsei is like the mastermind of this strange universe where you cant make choices #but he is suspiciously conformist like hes very eager to uphold a narrative and its like hes on a completely different planet #also you know theres the fact that hes like an alternate asriel or some shit #i dont trust him but despite this. he is very cute i do wanna kiss his nose #like hes such a satirized version of the pacifist that it feels fake as shit but i still love him #like. we go through the acid tunnel of love. DOES THIS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU #he could kill everyone and i wouldnt be surprised in the slightest and also im squishing his face

I'm rewatching The Birdcage and there's something about the like incisive satire of queer comedies from the '90s that are so thoroughly unconcerned with the feelings of cishet audiences

#please feel free to ignore this #I'm watching The Birdcage #It reminds me of a couple of articles and critiques I've seen of media ostensibly geared towards queer ppl and/or POC #starting in like the '10s #where it feels very much like it's constantly trying to make white and/or cishet audiences feel included in the joke or the action #or stops short of satire that may hurt their feelings #The Birdcage goes all in on satirizing the hypocrisy of conservatives and the Republican party #But I'm a Cheerleader mocks gender roles and conversion camps #I remember reading a few articles comparing The Proud Family to the remake #and talking about how the new series feels like it constantly brings the action to a screeching halt #to turn to the camera and explain everything for the hypothetical white audience #vs. the original that was speaking specifically to Black/brown audiences and if you were a white viewer you could keep up or not #It's very easy to blame this on streaming but it's hard to pinpoint why #I guess sort of just the rising obsession with viewership/metrics #If people stop watching because they don't 'get it' then that's Bad because what if they unsubscribe or whatever #Changing the channel is no longer an option

How to dress like basic Japanese bangya on the GazettE’s concert.

First, put on a black long sleeve shirt. You don’t want to expose any skin, even if it’s a humid Japanese summer.

If you’re feeling a bit extra (or if you want to look “cute”), instead of a regular black long sleeve, put on a long sleeve with a collar. Like that.

Now put on a band t shirt. Oh, you’re definitely going to boil to death. You can wear a t shirt from the previous tour, it doesn’t really matter. But cool girl came prepared or picked up a shirt in a venue and got dressed in the restroom, cause they came 8 hours earlier.

For the bottom, you don’t want to wear pants, cause it’s masculine and eww in general. You also don’t want to wear a mini skirt, cause you’re not a slut, so let’s go with a safe variant.

For accessories - face mask and a tote bag. Don’t forget to grab your collection of bears and put them on your bag, cause why did you spend thousands on them?

Bonus points if the mask is in some pastel colors, while your outfit if mainly black.

That’s it, now you’re ready to stand in the venue’s hall for 3 hours waiting!

#the slutshaming is a satire #everything else is real #we really went from colourful and wild outfits to THIS #aren’t they want to make bandmen to look at them? #I mean it would make more sense if they wore their best outfits #or they want to show like #hey I’m spending my salary on you! look at me! #anyway I never was on a gazette concert and as they say when in Rome do as the romans do

old man yells at cloud about constant sequels

#i wantttttt to like the beetlejuice sequel (just saw the trailer) and i don't want to be a hater. however #i dont knowwwww i mean theres a lot of callbacks to the original. which is good. its just #maybe its seeing some of these same effects done in cgi. or something #like it just looks like every other modern movie except w some of that beetlejuice imagery #im assuming the sandworms are cgi. bring back the claymationnnn bring back practical effectssss #idk im just really getting to hate the way movies nowadays look that are likely shot digitally and are just so subdued color wise #is any of this making sense. #like thinking of the original beetlejuice like whoa the colors were popping! greens reds purples! #and theyre so important and tied to the look of the movie and how it sticks in your mind #(im sorry. beetlejuice has always been one of my favorite movies. but anyway) #and now the sequel just looks ehhhh. you know #also we still should have had beetlejuice goes hawaiian instead. if we had to have a sequel #plus the story of the sequel seems so dependent on the story of the first movie like is there going to be anything original? #what made the first movie so good was not only was it a fun different storyline of these ghosts and everything #but it was also a good satire of the yuppies of that era as well as the idea of the afterlife and ghosts and all that. which was different! #im probably not making all of my points clearly and this doesnt really matter anyway but anyway #i need movies to be standalone movies. i dont want everything to be part of a series #i dont want beetlejuice to be called beetlejuice 1 #bc then ill be saying 'back in my day we had only one beetlejuice' #LIKE. yes some movies are really good and you could watch a whole tv show more with the characters in that movie #but it doesnt actually have to be made. thats for you to imagine in your mind #like wow i love those characters in beetlejuice. i wonder what it would be like going forward for these people to live with ghosts #but thats for you and your imagination!!!! ugh i dont know is any of this making sense i ask again. i keep trying to wrap up this post #but im very passionate about films and as i think about my own main movie idea/screenplay #i love my characters and i could put them in dozens of scenarios that would be very funny for them to deal with #but i dont think they need a five film series. the one movie is enough for the main storyline #ok im going to eat something. enough bitching from me about the current state of film

the boys and gen v being so good yet coming from a comic book series that feels like it was written by an edgy 15 year old boy is still so weird

#anyway my hopes are for tek knight to be like. satire on techbros instead of anything close to #'guy who has a brain tumor that makes him want to fuck everything' #like obviously there will be some weird sex shit but like. i know they can make it clever #the boys has been sorely missing out on making fun of techbros

I watched The Menu and loved it because it featured every single thing I hate about the food world and the arts in general. It’s brilliant because it's multilayered and multi-pronged in its satire and reducing it to just ONE aspect of its criticism (“rich people suck”) is too simplistic; even if you took away their richness, each character from the customers to Slowik and Elsa on the opposite side stands for a certain type of person who interacts with food and I hate every single one of them. :))))))

Also, it's hilarious because 2022 had The Bear and The Menu and people who work in the food industry/service industry or are have some connection to it talked about how they got stressed out by one and felt catharsis through the other. Both of them let them feel seen, but one was feeling seen in a bad way and the other one was in a good way even if you liked both fkasjflksajf.

#i don't particularly want to look at what people say about the menu #because i feel like i'm going to be benafflecksmoking.jpg about it the way i did when i saw some stuff about the bear #there are several things going on and if you just think it's about one thing you're wrong and i don't want to talk to you #like yeah rich people suck but the class and privilege satire got muddied because this is not a case of one good guy #who's a champion of service workers vs. all these rich snobs who make everything suck #but that's the point! #and it's not entirely about wealth because you can't look at someone like tyler for instance and think that's the point #and i assume people think tyler is the stand-in for obsessive foodies #when in reality all of the diners are different types of foodies all of whom are despicable and who are in fact bloodsuckers #although the way that slowik judges some of them is so binary and narrow and he's conflating everyone's sins to the same degree #and slowik is a hypocrite and a delusional egoistic bitter man but he's also not the only one perpetuating the abuse #he is culpable in contributing to the destruction of his own soul and life as well as his passion and the industry #and there are people like elsa who enable that and the way she does her job is just...EVERYONE SUCKS! THEY ALL SUCK! #the only person who's right is margot/erin for a lot of reasons #she is the only one who understood the assignment #the only one who didn't belong there yes...but as someone who's a service worker herself #she understood the fundamental basics of what a dining experience is #what providing that means and what someone is supposed to receive #and acknowledging what goes into it (her acknowledgment of the sous chef as the person who puts in the work #knowing there is a person whereas tyler couldn't give a damn) #what food is there for at the end of the day #even if someone else had gone into that room none of them were capable of coming to that conclusion #anyway i hate the culture around fine dining and i hate foodies :)))) #every time i see a fellow millennial say they're a foodie or write that they love food on their ig/dating app profile/twitter bio/whatever #i roll my eyes so hard and it's HATE on sight!!!!!!! #you and everyone else in 2023 buddy! #and you can love food and i know if you love food versus....that #the bear and the menu are great in different ways and i appreciate and like them for different reasons #and i was SO interested in seeing which would stress me out. for me it was the bear (even though i enjoyed it) and the menu was fun #without any stress while the opposite was true for some people who HATED the menu (loved it but felt understood/seen/reminded of stuff)

no but also i'm thinking about all the ways in which someone's way of speaking via text can impact others' perception of them and it's sorta killing me. example situation: someone's just finding out that a character they liked dies in canon. they're not bursting into tears irl, but they're pretty bummed out. so: "NUUUUUUU but i love him so much!!!! TToTT" vs "noooo, i love him so much!"

also, the way older people type. my mother excessively uses emoji, especially :) -- and it's not the :) of despair. i've heard of others using lots of ellipses, even if they're not trailing off dramatically. it's all learned, and i suppose if my mother learned to text in different times, her manner of texting would be way different.

but what i'm getting at is -- sometimes it's all you get! and that's a bit scary if you think about it, because for the most part i feel like how you communicate online depends on where you hang out and what you're used to, so someone who's mature and well-spoken might type like a child with only a vague awareness of commas, etc, or someone who's kind and friendly might come off as mean simply because they've been hanging out on twitter too much.

(and then there's picking up people's mannerisms just because they seem fun, something that i do without even noticing it both off- and online, which muddles things up even more because you might wonder why i'm being so salty and angry out of nowhere, but i'm actually just emulating an incredibly funny blogger who spoke in this or that particular way in a strictly humorous context.)

communication is hell and one can never understand another person perfectly and completely. etc

#shrimp thoughts #this of course extends beyond just texting because speech mannerisms can also come off as incredibly annoying and insensitive #like a friend showed me a music video recently and she was like 'i need you to understand that this was done on purpose. it's probably #satire' and so on and it was clear she was trying to get me to understand she's aware the aesthetic of the mv is Not Done Seriously and she #doesn't Sincerely Think the bad cgi is cool and impressive and i couldn't help but launch into a spiel about how for the last couple of #years i'm seeing this approach Everywhere and how it's Fine Actually not to justify yourself every five seconds lest someone thinks #you're a cringe ass loser... and then when i got back home i realized i probably sounded like a total asshole who needs to show off #their nonsensical rambly theoretical Insights or else they die. when i was like!! genuinely 'it's fine i get it!!' and also!! making an #observation because it was genuinely fascinating to me! #i get that from my father. the inability to Shut Up and make everything sound like a lecture. sob sob.

quotes that have followed me this yr compilation

x x x x x x x

#by which i mean i have muttered them to myself and thought about them about once every month and related them to everything ive done or see #n #idk if im normal for them making me as crazy as they do #i just wanted to put them together to mark the end of the year #do what u will with them #i am aware the daniel lavery one is satirical but like as adesire. AS A DESIREEE it hits it gets me

[absolutely-not-my-main-blog]

I will go on for hours about the complexities of It's Always Sunny and my appreciation for the writing like a scholar waxing philosophical about the meaning of life and then I'll watch an actual clip from the show again with some of the strangest and worst sentences or images strung together in existence that momentarily brings me back down to Earth for a hot minute, humbling me with the fact that maybe, just maybe, I truly am deranged before that thought quickly fades away and the cycle starts over <3.

#iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #it's one of the most psychologically fascinating things I have ever seen truly #and yet i am aware it's still satire and for many just casual but just it has such a je ne sais quoi #they obviously put a lot of thought into everything about it i don't know how to explain but it makes me feral #it's really good at being what it is and what it is is so weirdly unique and... real? again idk #they're putting something in the water okay #anmmbposts

Part 1 of a reoccuring series of sketches from Series 10 of Spitting Image, "The Making Of Major"

#british tv #john major #spitting image #puppets #satire #comedy #uk politics #Even in black and white #This show taught me everything i know about the UK #Ronald Reagan “Bumbledown” is another good example of Spitting Image doing the mockumentary style #John being so small is an amazing touch #He's about as tall as Robin from the Muppets #I love how Spitting Image was able to catergorize specific people into specific kinds of jokes. #Need a joke about having it away? 9/10 times Cecil Parkinson is all you need! #It's a shame that Geoffery Howe was out by now #Suppose there can only be one notably dull man every era #Kenneth Baker still brings fear to this very day #Douglas Herd's voice is one of my favorite's #I was so sad that he didn't make it to the end. He was so close too. #He always felt like the closest thing Major had to a right hand man #Seeing the Norma/John relationship with even the slightest semblance of a spark is both beautiful and heartbreaking
