Krankenstyle posted:aaa i keep forgetting the one where its two college kids (10 years ago) doing some kind of mental tv show for toddlers it was called "rear end HOLES" and featured, as I recall, like 60 seconds of cackling and hopping from foot to foot at the end of each episode. I'm too lazy to search youtube for "rear end holes" sorry. But that was the name. It had a half speed version of cotton eyed joe in the background.

I like how Pick can't really troll as "wealthy out of touch mayo-golem" anymore so it's just shades of 'put star wars in a subforum' or 'quarantine yourself and watch an opera' or someshit.

King has written over 50 books and dozens of short stories that have been read by millions of people, so there’s a lot of things that can remind a lot of people of a Stephen King stories.

I mean we have cocaine and Stephen King to thank for Maximum Overdrive and really I don't know what else we could ask of the man.

State what authors *you* read so we can make fun of them too, cowards. lmao if you read posts, just guess what is in them and post what you feel. Don't even read your own posts, live free and happy.

In the storied history of goons latching onto a word and then over- and mis-using it to the point of meaninglessness, calling the creator of a piece of media you dislike a hack has to be one of the worst because more often than not their complaint is that they were literally the opposite of a hack and did something different and unexpected.
