I remember this. It was similar to the grande/venti/medium/large situation at Starbucks only less pretentious and people got over it once they learned the menu.

I've seen this so many times and still have no idea where it's from...I assume a sketch comedy show from the late 2000s/early 90s? Does remind me of this, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjK1aUU2Dx4 Edit: Whoa, it was directed by Spike Jonez.

I thought combo meals have existed way prior to the 80's. Maybe it was late 80's where the menus started prominently featuring them and numbering them? Something that does bug me today though is a lot of restaurants don't list their full menu or everything you can buy individually. They'll display the combos without listening the sides you can get in place of fries and maybe the kids meals. Many have eliminated showing the value options even though they still exist. I know why they do this, but it's annoying.

Anyone have any idea what the gently caress this thing is? Someone posted it on Reddit, says it's been in the back room of the music/video store where they work for 20+ years, it was originally part of a cardboard standee/display but no one remembers what for.

Rewatching Daria and while a lot of its insights are evergreen, seeing all the retro tech is pretty great. There's a moment where Daria takes the family's cordless phone up to her room and yells at them to hang up, only for them to yell back "you have the phone!" and it brought back memories I had completely forgotten.

Unless it was more of a thing on the west coast, it was purely an objection to "Thing different".

Like, look at the way Daria treats Kevin and Brittany: sure, they're dumb, but they're also perfectly nice to her. She turns against her best friend for the sins of 1. getting interested in something Daria can't do (track and field) and 2. meeting a guy she likes. lmfao and why doesn't anyone notice that Walter White isn't a nice guy?

And along the way you realize things like Quinn is min-maxing her way through life because everyone will doubt she knows poo poo because she's pretty, that Jane isn't a misanthropic maladjusted hater, that the two black kids just need to get by this poo poo so they can go to college, and that despite Daria's intelligence, insight, wit and Good Will Hunting shtick, she's just a fallible as the rest of them.

I know Daria spun off from Beavis and Butthead, but was the show truly from Mike Judge or did he let others run with it?

IIRC he had nothing to do with it other than creating the character. I cracked up when they brought up Daria during a music video segment in the 2011 season and Beavis just thought that Daria killed herself.

Volcott posted:I did not get the "daria sabotages her own happiness by being iconoclastic for the sake of iconoclasm" on the first watch because I was also a sullen youth. Then in Season 2 there's a moment at a gifted school where her friend Jodie tears into a privileged snot. Daria goes to her and says "admit it, that felt good." Jodie agrees but correctly points out that Daria's attitude of being incisive all the time makes her miss out on good stuff, and Daria is self-aware and humble enough to say (verbatim) "Look Jodie, I'm too smart and too sensitive to live in a world like ours at a time like this with a sister like mine. Maybe I do miss out on stuff, but this attitude works for me now." There's that episode in Season 2 where she decides to follow her sister and film her (late 90s camcorder tech) to show the school how shallow she is, and after she gets a golden moment of her sister breaking down about her pores her Mother literally says "Daria this is cruel" and Daria ultimately agrees and recuts the footage so her sister looks a lot more substantive. And then throughout Season 4 and into 5 we have her entire deal with her first boyfriend, which features Daria screwing up a lot. Like a lot. Sorry I'm doing a rewatch so all this is very fresh in my mind.

Honestly, the entire show kinda blurs into one episode for me. It was a poetry thing at the coffee house, she goes on a very right wing, anti communist rant, and a riot happens? I tried finding it on youtube and now my recommendations are toast for the next year, minimum.

This Is the Zodiac posted:Cafe Disaffecto Related-- anyone notice that Daria's voice actress dropped off the face of the earth after the show? I googled around to see if she worked much after, and she basically vanishes after 2002. ------------------------------------- E: Ok watched the episode. Credit for half-remembering something nearly 25 years after airing, but it's very blatantly not anti-Communist. Daria is forced to participate in a reading and says she has nothing, Jane tells her to read something that dullards like Kevin/Britany would drink up "like an elixir." Here's what Daria reads-- we don't see her deciding to choose this, we're not sure if it's her own words or just some airport broiler, but based on the entire rest of the series it's not unreasonable to think she was plagarizing: quote:Mr. O'Neill - Now, speaking of raw emotions, it's my pleasure to introduce one of Lawndale High's most gifted writers: Daria Morgendorffer. Emphasis mine. Basically it seems like it's lovely writing for not being 100% clear if Daria is taking the piss until after-the-fact, but given the immense body of contextual evidence I'd say it's a safe read that she was just manipulating the crowd to get out of having to do any more work at the coffee house, and not an actual endorsement from the writers on anti-communist thinking. It doesn't really work. It's all show until the actual incident, at which point it becomes all tell. It's a bit too Simpsons/South Park in scale for a show that mostly remained very grounded, and would only ever parse in the relative benign geopolitics of the US in the late 90s (and even then just barely), but again literally the fourth episode so they were probably figuring out how far they could push the conceit of this cynical girl taking the piss out of everything around her. mind the walrus has a new favorite as of 16:02 on Mar 3, 2021 |

Not sure who they guy clowning behind Barnes is, but I forgot the beginning that track sounds like remixed *[Electronic]*. They went poppy as gently caress on that one for sure, and their next single would be, in my opinion, the last truly GREAT New Order cut. That was for the 90 World Cup, and they made it to 3rd place. Barney looks super young in that.
