Whenever I see a "Fuck Cars" community post, I can't help but remember that dragons fucking cars is/was a thing, that there is a parody country song about a dude loving his truck intimately and that dudes have been caught sticking their dingdongs in car exhaust pipes.

Yup, same! Or I think of Two Trucks by Lemon Demon

Often when I read β€œcontroversy” I hear Eminem’s song β€œWithout Me” in my head.

  • Excellent
  • Bogus

We saw Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure when it first came out, not knowing anything about it, and it’s become a staple for us ever since.

  • Inconceivable
  • As you wish
  • Life is Pain
  • He’s only mostly dead

So many more great lines from The Princess Bride. The movie was introduced to me by some friends, and (it got complicated). I always remember the first time I saw it sitting in the living room smoking weed.

Speaking of PB me and wifey can't get away with saying "it's possible" without the other replying "pig"

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

Do you know about this homemade remake? I adore the love and ingenuity that went into making it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29s1yU3nGkQ

You'd be surprised how often people between 25 and 35 use Spongebob references.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

An old coworker and I used to randomly say SpongeBob quotes to each other all the time.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why didn't you keep in touch, sounds like a fun person

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We still send memes to each other sometimes

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's kinda beautiful

One day my children will realise that half of everything I say is a Spongebob reference.

Dude!

Reminds me of the movie without the car.

Band camp.

Similar movie, with some of the same actors.

"Thanks for the memories." I don't feel like I need to explain that one.

If a website ends in '.net' I'll say "website.net. It's dot com!" and then no one gets my homestar runner reference.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

So many words and phrases from the president's speech in the Independence Day movie. My brother has the whole thing memorized, he even did it as a monologue at a speech thing once.

So when I hear a key word or phrase that is part of that speech, I expect to hear my brother dramatically launch into the whole thing even though he now lives halfway across the country from me and he stopped doing the bit every time years ago.

"In less than one hour", "mankind", "united in our common interests", "we will not go quietly", "today we celebrate", "annihilation".

Whenever the Amish are mentioned, I know we're hitching up the buggy, churning lot of butter, raise a barn Monday, soon raising another.

Think you're really righteous?!

It depends. Some of it is more readily available than other stuff. For example, someone can bring up Christmas specials and I can think back and vaguely recall stuff like the Garfield Christmas special and other things I would watch seasonally as a child.

Other stuff is a lot deeper, and usually it is a lot harder to access because there is no straightforward path to remembering it like a holiday, because it's the things I experienced in between things like holidays.

An example I can think of of this is that I recently went through a listing of 90's television shows which were shown on the YTV network (In Canada), and I came across a couple names which vaguely rang bells; but the exciting thing was that I couldn't remember why they rang bells. One of the listings in this case it was for a show called "Stickn' Around".

Went and searched for it, found this intro sequence and suddenly unlocked the memory that I watched this show almost every day for most of my childhood, but I had forgotten because there was no correlating event that let me remember this.

(Forgive the youtube link, can't find it on invidious right now).

Makes me wonder what other lost memories I have, and how the hell I could possibly go about accessing them, because this was just by chance.

I highly recommend everyone go look up listings from the TV stations they watched in their childhood, you might just find something you forgot ever existed until now.

I unfortunately don't have an answer but this would be a nice place to make references!

By the way, you have just lost the game!
