DutchDupe posted:I feel like years from now, episodes like this won't hold up at all. It's pretty drat difficult to make timeless comedy or satire, but it certainly was a time-stamp of American news. They always do at least a few episodes like this every season, and some of them are gold.

After the Sarcastiball episode, which I didn't think was that good despite being a football fan, I wasn't expecting this one to be that good either. Thankfully this is one of the best episodes they've done I think.

I don't think many people want to be walking around with a t-shirt that says ISIS at the moment. I think they had mugs and t-shirts with the spy agency logo. Possibly ball caps too. Neither are in their web store now. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Sep 26, 2014 |

I was going to paste a picture of the band ISIS' shirt range (who were awesome), but instead I found this...  (It's from a site that generates t-shirts for pretty much every girls name, so they also have Property of Anne, Property of Sally etc. Probably get you arrested on sight in current climate!)

It might be because I'm not american, but I thought the episode was tame. I thought the kickstarter idea was good, and I got that they made fun of themselves for having told this story many times before (I.e. they do something together, Kyle want out, he takes Stan with him who doesn't feel whole hearted about it, Stan want out of that as well, they all, or just Stan and Kyle, get together in the end), but it just wasn't funny.

I hate explaining jokes but maybe it'll make you appreciate it more in hindsight: We have a football (handegg) team called the Washington redskins, which is such a ridiculously offensive name to our native Americans that the trademark for their name was actually pulled. This has a lot of legal repercussions including other companies basically being able to pretend they're you. The whole kickstarter-let-me-do-nothing startup gag was a shot at people who abuse those services and at silicon valley startups. that whole "START UP, CASH IN, SELL OUT, BRO DOWN" thing is something that actually happens in out tech industry quite a lot. The (actual) Redskins owner fighting fruitlessly against the cowboys was a metaphor for what Americans did to our natives. the Redskins football team behaving like the people they're named for should be fairly obvious. God I hate explaining jokes but I hope that shed some light on the basics of why this was funny. I don't even like football but I know personalities like Jerry Jones and some of the controversies in the NFL right now, which you could justifiably totally ignore if you don't live anywhere the NFL gives a gently caress about.

Are you adding to my point, or contradicting it? Because if it's the latter, Sicilians are white. Also, never go in against one when death is on the line.

Yeah, we officially admitted the Irish, Italians, and Slavic countries into Club Whitey way back when we had a Department of War.

American Express recently launched a smart debit card tied in with an app which allowed you to make payments by swiping your phone in front of compatible devices. It was called ISIS. As you might have guessed, it has a new name.

Here's what they have to say. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Krewe-of-Isis/85829113147 quote:So my phone and email has been buzzing with messages from The Order of Isis in Mobile and the Media wanting to know if we would be changing our name because of the acronym that the terrorist organization is using. My answer was No!! WE ARE THE KREWE OF ISIS and for 42.years we have represented our name and organization with pride and dignity. Next Mardi Gras is going to be a funny time. I can't wait to see the looks when I say I'm going to go see Isis.

You probably won't get any because dumb enough to believe you're talking about the terrorist organization will have choked on their own lungs long before then.

I'm not a football fan, and don't care about the whole Redskins debacle. Hopefully, the rest of the season will hold up. I love the new intro though! I agree with you the episode was the weakest of the season so far. It was also the best episode of the season so far... Cause it's the only episode of the season...

As someone who lives in Portland I can't wait. Also they already said 'ice cream is healthy for you' in that ad as a joke. And lactose intolerance is a well documented thing with credible evidence.
