Best of FIWK
Aaron: "Let me tell you, Gretzky was no Gandhi."
MP: "I'd like to swim in Scrooge McZuckerberg's silo of money."
Royce: "Im like the george dubya of fiwk!"
Aaron: "If you could hear me, you would hear my voice getting all high like a teenage girl meeting Justin Timberlake"
Scott: "I could also write 'How to Turn 5 Sentences into 1: Thoughts on the Ellipsis'"
Aaron: "Wait, so this is your second non-consecutive year living in Paris? Does that make you the Grover Cleveland of Americans residing in Paris?

Random much? Gave me a good chuckle, nonetheless...
ReplyDeleteMy first thought, "Wow, you're gay."
ReplyDeleteMy second thought: this is ambush comedy at its best. What's ambush comedy, you ask? Well, I just made it up, but I would call it a kind of phenomenon where something sneaks up on you totally and completely and makes you piss your pants from laughter. You never saw it coming, and the level of hilarity takes it from "unexpected" to "ambush". The Giants winning the World Series was unexpected; Little Big Horn was an ambush. See the difference?

ReplyDeleteI love this comic too, so random. And the goofy image of his face is perfect.
To bring this full circle with Penny Arcade, remember our how awesome? so awesome discussion about popular phrases from pop culture? Well the "Random much?" phrase you just used is a great example.
My recollection is that the use of "much?" as an emphasizer really got popularized with Buffy. Which I haven't seen. But the phrase has become so prevalent that I'm pretty sure it was the topic of discussion on the Public Radio program A Way With Words (which is awesome).
Where do you recall picking up that phrase, Scooter?
Hey MP, good timing - are you familiar with the turn of phrase "adjective much?" as used above by Scooter? Where do you recall seeing its early usage?
ReplyDeleteI remember, very distinctly, Ace Ventura muttering "Obsessed much?" when looking through Ray Finkle's stuff.
ReplyDeleteAce Ventura - 1994
No clue when/where I picked it up. Like many of my pop culture phrases, they just enter my life, almost sub-consciously.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember where I heard it first, but I definitely remember hearing it on Ace Ventura and NOT on Buffy.
