So I remembered Adam Savage mentioning that he got the phrase from a friend, so I went hunting for the video.
Anyone heard of a film called Dungeon Masters?:
They're from a mastodon instance. They replied to me so maybe the people they @ can see them? Idk. Fediverse is weird. Imagine you're on Reddit and someone tweets at you. Pretty cool though haha
I must be too online lol because I thought there's no way somebody doesn't know Epic Rap Battles of history. Pretty sure they're one of the biggest YouTube channels.
My opinion of them is tainted, because growing up my older brother was a little too obsessed with the Vader vs. Hitler one. Like there's no way it isn't concerning that he could recite the whole thing from memory...
"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
I don't think it's that obscure to people of a certain age, but every time someone orders a salad, my immediate reaction is "You don't win friends with that!"
The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I'm guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5's voice.
If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search; it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it! Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God, is the byproduct of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do! Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose; which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty… and in all its flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.
Most of my references are from a sketch comedy troupe but my favorite of theirs is
"Whose a good baby? Presumably you are!" said to a baby. With a silly intonation. I like saying it with the weird intonation to cats. I don't have a human baby, prop or not!
In context, they don't know where the baby came from, it just appeared in the mess that is the props room. So he was being an oblivious not having baby guy.
In reality it was the guy who was holding its baby. He knows it's cute, it's his baby lol.
Yeah I loved eternity, but the bugs keep piling up to the point of annoyance. Very happy with Thunder these days. And Voyager is great too. Both open source and very actively developed.
“In the future, if you're wondering: 'Crime. Boy, I don't know,' is when I decided to kick your ass."
I often use this quote in jest to my partner when my wife is actively annoying me replacing [ Crime. Boy I don’t know ] with what ever joke they’ve just made at my expense.
We've met before, haven't we?
I don't think so. Where was it you think we met?
At your house. Don't you remember?
No. No, I don't. Are you sure?
Of course. As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.
"I reject your reality and submit my own"
Mythbusters?
Adam wears that shirt often ;)

LavDusk already mentioned it yeah.
Not showing on my feed - guessing they're on an instance LBJ are refederated from.
They're from a mastodon instance. They replied to me so maybe the people they @ can see them? Idk. Fediverse is weird. Imagine you're on Reddit and someone tweets at you. Pretty cool though haha
I only know that from the Epic Rap Battle of History
If it was before Mythbusters, Adam stole it, otherwise they did hehe, remember of course nothing is truly original
No it's a rap battle between the MythBusters and The Ghostbusters so they're referencing it.
@droning_in_my_ears
@lost_faith
It's actually from The Dungeonmaster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2J3EjYBYuU
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The/_Dungeonmaster
Oh wow didn't know that.
Side note: why do some people always @ in replies? Is it because you're on a microblogging platform?
@droning_in_my_ears
Yep! I'm on Mastodon. I browse Lemmy through the browser and copy and paste the link when I want to reply to something.
Ohhh, lol. never saw that, now I gotta go
findwatch itWow, that was hilarious, ty ty for that
I must be too online lol because I thought there's no way somebody doesn't know Epic Rap Battles of history. Pretty sure they're one of the biggest YouTube channels.
My viewing habits don't tend to push that stuff to my feed, I am still laughing at the video and will check out more of their stuff tonight
My opinion of them is tainted, because growing up my older brother was a little too obsessed with the Vader vs. Hitler one. Like there's no way it isn't concerning that he could recite the whole thing from memory...
SAOA? i guess it's a parody of something else there tho

HHGTTG!
I don't think it's that obscure to people of a certain age, but every time someone orders a salad, my immediate reaction is "You don't win friends with that!"
"It's just a little airborne! It's still good! It's still good!"
I feeeeel like chicken tonight! Like chicken tonight!
wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
and to a lesser extent, 'snarf snarf'
The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I'm guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5's voice.
was that actual advertising? neat. I thought it was just in the movie. I didn't even know what a dr pepper was back then lol
Shpadoinkle!
Cannibal?
Yep
"Oh I feel it. I feel the cosmos!"
I don't know why that quote in particular is one I quote but its still funny to me.
Katamari?
Yeah that's it.
“My shoes are too tight, and I’ve forgotten how to dance”
“The avalanche has started, it’s too late for the pebbles to vote”
Those might not be %100 right
Perfect response to that shoes too tight one.
Cannot quote any better from it.
... NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GALAXY!
;D
Oh, oh, or...
"There's no shame in the truth". :)
Nothing comes to mind right now, but cool idea!
Me I have the opposite problem. Lord help me if I ever make a game it will be FULL of niche references lol
I had to bite my tongue and not just spray tonnes of them in here too.
"Sorry I smell like piss. You know how it is."
"I do[believe in ghosts]. But more importantly, I think they need to believe in themselves. You know?"
But time flows like a river. And history repeats.
Mana?
"Philosophers do not spring up like mushrooms. They are the product of their time." And "Cacca nello spazio"
Confident, Cocky, Lazy, Dead.
A Tad Williams fan?
Yep!
Anytime someone asks what I am or have been up to:
"Oh you know, just hanging out and playing nintendo".
No one I've ever met got that it was a direct movie quote.
"Better later than much later"
"You know how I feel about conflict! I'm against it!"
“If you see a possum, kill it. It’s not a pet.”
Most of my references are from a sketch comedy troupe but my favorite of theirs is
"Whose a good baby? Presumably you are!" said to a baby. With a silly intonation. I like saying it with the weird intonation to cats. I don't have a human baby, prop or not!
Are they saying presumably because we don't know if they're gonna grow up to be the next Dictator or something?
In context, they don't know where the baby came from, it just appeared in the mess that is the props room. So he was being an oblivious not having baby guy.
In reality it was the guy who was holding its baby. He knows it's cute, it's his baby lol.
It's not a flash-forward scene from Young Sheldon, of old Sheldon, is it?
Haha no! It's from Loading Ready Run, one sec.
https://youtu.be/g_qt8Xd2TXY?t=60
It was also "Who's a cute baby? Presumably you are!" which I said good instead of cute. I'm a dingus!
Alternatively
Wild guess... Firefly?
Oh god. It's not LEXX is it?
I've got about a billion, I'll give you three:
"I hope there are beasties in the next one"
The captain did it
B U L L E T
"If you can't stand the heat, go put your tiny balls in the freezer."
"When you're in love with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara."
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler One of many from the amazing movie The Apartment. :::
this is in my top 10 favourite films.
I discovered it very late in life. Maybe ten years ago or so and I was floored.
Weird...on my mobile client the spoiler hiding doesn't seem to work so I literally see the markdown triple colon spoiler lol
I am on Voyager and it works on it. What client are you on?
Eternity. It's kinda abandoned it seems but open source
Yeah I loved eternity, but the bugs keep piling up to the point of annoyance. Very happy with Thunder these days. And Voyager is great too. Both open source and very actively developed.
Same here and same client
"How can you do this? You make me sick."
"You made that up!"
"I did, but I stand by my made up statistic"
Is one I like using :3
You should've used the pythagorem theory, bitch
"Day, night, don't mean shit."
Her "love for [me] is like a truck".
“I want my baby back … baby back … baby back …”
“Dear god! When do they say ribs?!”
Scrubs?
Yup! When Cox and Jordan are getting revenge for his botched vasectomy, the worthless peons sing the first half of this jingle again and again.
I’m literally a fool, what’s your excuse
“In the future, if you're wondering: 'Crime. Boy, I don't know,' is when I decided to kick your ass."
I often use this quote in jest to my partner when my wife is actively annoying me replacing [ Crime. Boy I don’t know ] with what ever joke they’ve just made at my expense.
I say "Congrutalions!" way too much.
"What's that doing there?"
"I'll tell you later."
You mean the watermelon?
bottlesworth, as a unit of measurement
We've met before, haven't we?
I don't think so. Where was it you think we met?
At your house. Don't you remember?
No. No, I don't. Are you sure?
Of course. As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.
Every day is better than the next.
a retort to: "that's not possible" / "that's impossible"
"No. It's necessary."
... probably not that obscure, but it is a fave. :)
"Styrofoam cup... Bad for the environment."
