the main dev of ULTRAKILL is livetweeting their reactions to jerma failing at their game fantastically and it's really, really fucking funny.
I feel like it's important to note that they call him Amish here because earlier he got so mad during a hard boss fight that he went on a rant that "humans aren't meant to do this, they're meant to push logs in wheelbarrows"
According to my brother, the camera operators are told in advance when they're going to be cut to or at least given a heads-up, so this guy assumed he was safe to use his camera basically as a pair of binoculars bc he wasn't supposed to get the focus. But the person who was switching between camera feeds accidentally cut to his camera by mistake instead of the one that was supposed to be filming, so they ended up televising what was supposed to be one man's private cockroach observation moment.
I particularly love this story because this is one of those jobs ppl tend to assume is done for passion, like of course people who film sports must love sports. But nah, this is just a paycheck for this dude. He'd rather be looking at bugs. There is something so funny to me about people in over-romanticed workplaces being like, "Yeah...I just work here."
The funniest thing I ever did on tumblr dot com is send myself an anon ask apologizing for a previous anonymous ask that was being transphobic. I then publicly answered to say, thank you for doing the right thing and then I turned off anonymous asks. That was 7 years ago, and I just found this sitting in my inbox:
Imagine logging on and seeing that your mortal enemy has finally decided to admit the truth after 7 years but now you’re being clowned on by 10 thousand people
I can’t believe anon was right about me. We are BOTH trans now. We’ve come full circle.
love the camera guy even gets to bump into a mirror for us
Okay, I love everything about this hall of mirrors:
All of this combines to make it much more fun and entertaining and much less "I gotta get out of here before Mr. Dark drags me off to the soul-sucking carousel".
The Smash Bros. cast swapping anecdotes about their various evil doppelgangers and Mario getting into an argument about whether Wario counts.
Surprisingly, Mario is arguing that Wario does not count as he has literally never made that connection in his life. You can’t just say every fat italian in overalls is a Mario counterpart, he’s his own person with hopes and dreams. Evil hopes and dreams, but still.
Daisy, meanwhile, manages to argue very convincingly that Peach should be considered her evil doppelganger.
Wario is playing Devil’s advocate because being Mario’s evil doppleganger is great for business. If he was just some guy, nobody would buy Warioware.
@kamenriderhamo i am not going to let you hide this in the replies
a concept: zuko waiting tables at the jasmine dragon as a well-deserved break from firelord duties, but he does not understand how he keeps getting recognized!!! he’s wearing green and everything!!! it’s inexplicable!!!
zuko: hi what can I get for you today?
extremely bemused customer: um…… aren’t you the firelord???
zuko: you know, I get that a lot. I think it’s the nose
After a while it’s just
Zuko, without skipping a beat: No, his scar’s on the other side.
Important diplomat who has visited the jasmine dragon but has NOT met the firelord before: excuse me aren’t you a waiter.
Zuko, deadpan: Yes. I am Lee, humble tea server, who has kidnapped Firelord Zuko and replaced him. You have seen through my facade. What gave it away? Was it the hair? I knew I didn’t have the crown on right.
Alternately:
Zuko, deadpan: Oh didn’t you know? The Jasmine Dragon was so successful that I was appointed Firelord.
customer: um…… aren’t you the firelord???
zuko: not today
Person in my gas station talking to someone on the phone: ...We're in Ohio...
Me, knowing we're in Utah: ????
Thank you for the map for context. It makes this 1,000 times funnier and intriguing.
This is the sorta segment I wish still existed in kids’ shows. Soothing voiceover, mellow music, no flashy graphics. Just a calm behind-the-scenes look at something you might call mundane but that most of us would never have a clue about if no one pulled the curtain back to reveal its inner workings.
Okay but imagine being in kindergarten and seeing something like this, you would absolutely change your mind about wanting to be a fire fighter or teacher or whatever Job you've been told is cool and possible to grow up to do because wait a minute it's just like play-doh, there's so much it's kept in trash cans, you can use your hands to smear icing everywhere? It smells like cinnamon buns all the time?! Yes please!
I vaguely remember having a field trip to a bakery in kindergarten and thinking croissants were magical and that I wanted to make them in the future cuz kneading dough looked fun.
This is way more engaging and easier to watch than those sped-up videos with no voiceover and trashy pop music playing over the top.
It actually does make me remember similar segments in shows I watched growing up, like that one program. I don't remember what exactly the segment was about but it followed a young boy, and he briefly mentioned stopping at a friend's house and trying goat milk for the first time.
Very little else stuck with me but it sure made me curious about goat milk.
