wheres that meme with the guy dressed as a flower begging to be peed on, asking 4 a friend
honestly have i talked about how this is the funniest meme ive ever laid eyes on? the one guys worried expression in the second panel contrasting with his friends bewildered one. the ellipsis. the capitalization on “not’. the betrayal. the dawning of realization on the first guys face when he realized he was going to kill this poor man. the unshaved face. the fact flower man is on his knees with his back arched. every aspect of this comic is working together in perfect harmony to make all my time spent on this website well-spent
The extra amount of sad the guy gets from panel three to four, the fact that one gesture calls for fingers and nothing else does, the smaller font in panel one as if he’s trailing off in a whisper but partially also to fit on the page
What I expected Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to be about:
Albus trying to deal with everybody's expectations of the son of Harry Potter while Harry deals with a rise of neo-Death Eaters
What we Got:
Back to the Future Part II with magic
the funny thing about dril posts is that they actually do have a structure to them– they hit a kind of conceptual caesura halfway through, a point where there’s no inevitable logical connection between what’s been said and what’s still to come. here, the first sentence didn’t need to result in the second, yet it’s not “lol random” either; the speaker is angry about his boss’ draconian ferret-kissing policy, and reacts in kind, and even the reference to a “screen saver” reminds us that we’re in an office. it’s a narrative progression that, despite having an internal logic, alienates its punchline from its setup. who the hell is this person?
one thing i love about @dril posts is how they all seem to take place in a universe that is somewhat like our own, but with the habitus of white middle america taken to a bizarre, absurd, but strangely logical conclusion. take this one, for instance:
so we have our setting: a security guard protecting the american flag in the betsy ross museum, something almost archetypically american and middle class. but once again the first part, or setup, for the punchline, “fucking the flag,” careens the joke into an alien punchline that still, given the setting, makes sense. @dril’s security guard character imitates a sort-of cop-talk, the banter of a security guard, “buddy, they wont even let me fuck it”. you can imagine a similar response from a guard at any museum, but we’re talking about Fucking the American Flag, here.
i really love @dril.
it’s astonishing that a human being thinks of those posts. some person, someone out there whose existence we have to infer, because all we know is that those posts occur and they must be coming from somewhere. “the @dril tweeter” resonates as “the beowulf poet” does, except beowulf (which i’ve only read in translation, so i’m not an authority) has never made any use of the english language as baffling and sublime and somehow primally interlaced with the stuff of human consciousness as “IF THE ZOO BANS ME FOR HOLLERING AT THE ANIMALS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL.”
This is my favorite post, I am so glad I found it again.
Reaper:
(Is named Gabriel Reyes. Has a Dia De Los Muertos MARIACHI skin THAT INCLUDES A SOMBRERO. Has an Origin's skin IN GAME that shows him with a dark skin tone and black hair. Is from Los Angeles, a city with a huge Latinx population. Is consistently drawn as having dark skin in the comics and other illustrations pre-experiment that turned him into Reaper.)
People:
Are we sure he's Latino? I mean, can you site a source on that? I dunno, seems fishy to me.
