It’s a very northeast thing (maybe just New York/New Jersey?) to pluralize or give ownership to a business. My father would call it “Sears’s”

I just had one of these yesterday. I saw an add for the NY comedy festival and it mentioned Jimmy Carr would be there. I would have sworn that he died a year or two ago. Who could I be confusing him with?

Maybe Sean Lock? They're both part of the 8 Out of 10 Cats crew, so it'd make sense.

That makes sense I probably saw a clip of the show and misinterpreted a comment about Sean Lock dying. Um, what I actually mean is what the gently caress!?!? They're flipping dead comedians now!?

I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel on Hulu just now. I’ve apparently fallen through a wormhole into a strange parallel universe where it was released in 2014, nearly a decade ago, because I could have sworn it was a Trump era thing.

Everyone knows that when Mortal Kombat I came out in the early 90s that Kano was a Japanese criminal, leader of the Black Dragon. When the MK film came out in 1995, Kano was played by Australian actor Trevor Goddard and because of his amazing performance , the video game character of Kanao was retconned to be Australian. Today, I learned that Trevor Goddard was actually from the UK. Okay, no big deal right? He must have just put on an Aussie accent for the film. I've just gone back and watched every one of his scenes and he sounds exactly like a cockney/Londoner. At no point does he have a Australian accent.

He apparently went on to play Australians in other American shows/movies, still without changing his accent at all, because the average American is just that bad at identifying accents.

Are you conflating it with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which was released in 2011 (and its sequel in 2015) perhaps? I haven't seen either and they're all effectively the same movie to my brain, at least.

I could have sworn that there was an off-brand bagged cereal called Fruit Dots that were basically just round Trix during the time after & before the existence of round Trix. It's why I was happy about Trix going back to their original round shape, (edit) because it made them like Fruit Dots. That said, I can find absolutely no evidence that Fruit Dots ever existed and when I try to Google them, all I get for results are those weird gross gummy candies & various other candy.  Also, people I thought were dead long before they actually died: - Nelson Mandela (duh) - Barbara Walters - Angela Lansbury - Tony Bennett YeahTubaMike has a new favorite as of 16:50 on Aug 21, 2023 |

Huh, the Stovetop one is new, I hadn't heard of that one before. It's interesting to me because I have eaten a lot of that and it's sort of a cultural home-cooking meme in the US, but I have never associated a parent brand with it. It's just Stovetop stuffing. Like Chapelle had a bit about having it at a friend's house in his first comeback special and I'm pretty sure he just calls it Stovetop throughout the routine. Also, yeah, I just realized that Stouffer's is only frozen foods too. I wonder how that one got started.

I went searching because I am not really hooked by Stouffer's having anything to do with Stovetop but have a vague memory of that sort of alliteration. While I'm here I will put out my guess that they had an ad campaign trying to rehabilitate Stovetop form people who want to stuff their bird with some catchy alliterated phrase like 'Stovetop is for stuffers'. Anyway I found this crazy machine generated recipe written by an AI who is clearly in the correct universe https://areyoufashion.com/food-drink/stouffers-stove-top-stuffing/ quote:What is Stouffer?

Just remembered this really odd false memory that I have about this one episode of Shining Time Station (the PBS show that was the original vehicle for Thomas the Tank Engine in the US) where Mr. Conductor's evil twin gets brought to life and goes on a rampage. Specifically, the false memory is of the scene where he stomps on a box of candies for the lulz while proclaiming "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker." I remember this clearly because as a wee kid that line confused me and I assumed he meant licorice. When going back to review that episode decades later thanks to it being up on YouTube, I discovered that he doesn't say that at all during that scene. Funny thing, Mr. Conductor (and consequently his evil twin) is played by George Carlin, so I suspect that maybe I saw some footage of Carlin's stand-up as a kid and got that memory mixed up with his appearance on Shining Time Station because that phrase absolutely sounds like something he'd say in a non-kid-show context.

Lol, I want to see that scene, having spent way too much time in front of that show while watching my younger brother. Carlin was such a weird get for that show, finding out about his actual career later on was such a weird moment, coming from a sheltered, conservative household.

Grassy Knowles posted:A bit surprised you saw Thomas before you heard the beatles Oh, I'm sure I randomly heard them on the radio sometimes, but I wouldn't recognize them. I just sorta lumped rock music from the 60s onward together into a vague "bad" category at the time, since my dad didn't like listening to it. Anyways, probably enough sidetracking about my weird family life, at least it got better later.

I managed to convince myself there is a special-for-TV-only version of Return of the Jedi that uses this shot of the frog (worrt) eating a hairy bug (sand skitter) at around 17ish minutes and it's not in any preserved version of RoTJ since it wont show up in any "differences between versions" compilations. This is the actual scene that happens at 17ish minutes:  I'm still 50-50 on if I managed to fabricate a memory of seeing the first one on cable OR that there is some weirdo version that never got released on digital / physical media. The first image is real in sense that you can find behind the scenes shots of that from when they filmed RoTJ in the 1970s (release the frog cut Disney)

In "Scary Movie 2", I could have sworn Chris Elliott's character says "Take my strong hand!" in a particular scene. My friend and I independently have quoted "take m'strong hand!" to each other. It turns out he says "Take my little hand!" The video of the drat scene posted on Comedy Central's youtube is even called "Take my strong hand!". There's other posts online of people having this same revelation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZuUgVgtoVg&t=144s

Dont suppose you've seen the Thomas the Tank Engine version where they dubbed in his stand up ? https://youtu.be/2a_gW1KvuFk?si=GAZcJ3mZB2LTYfcv Seems odd to me though since Ringo Starr was my childhood Thomas narrator.

He does say "I better use my strong hand" at a different part so I think we all just got them mixed together.
