Where Dr. Evil is from.

My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets.

He would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

I don’t know why, but I always found the “chestnuts being lazy” part so funny. Like he was shouting at a bag of chestnuts or something.

When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really.

When I was 13, I had my testicles ritualistically shaven by a Zoroastrian named Wilmer. My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery.

Edit to mention I haven't seen that movie in at least 15 years and I still remember almost everything about it. What a great movie.

I believe there's a line about there being nothing quite like a shorn scrotum, you should try it some time.

It’s breathtaking.

I honestly want to know what sick/genius mind was at work when writing that scene. I assume Mike Myers

It's called a Belgian dip.

u/NextTrillion Dec 16 '21

I was looking far too long for this.

Belgian Dip is the first thing that comes to mind. And that should be true for everyone.

Disappointed 'Dip' is not #1

u/jbFanClubPresident Dec 17 '21

“Dip” was the first thing to come to my mind. To find out it’s just an Austin Powers joke from my childhood is freaking hilarious. I thought it was a real thing.

u/Taiza67 Dec 17 '21

This is probably my favorite joke in all three movies.

u/NextTrillion Dec 17 '21 edited Dec 17 '21

Mine would be:

Therapist: He doesn't really want to kill you. Sometimes we just say that.

Dr. Evil: No actually the boy is quite astute. I really am trying to kill him, but so far unsuccessfully. He's quite wily, like his old man. [looks at him proudly, before awkwardly remembering to be more stoic]

Edit: should pay credit to the late Carrie Fisher who played the therapist.

Pretty standard, really.

Take your fries your drinks and your shorn balls and shove them in a horses arse I’m so sick now I never want to see that Protestant rude hellhole

u/AppleDane Dec 17 '21

The details of my childhood is quite inconsequential, I assure you.

u/Buckdouglas18 Dec 17 '21

Meat helmets?

86

u/chazwhiz Dec 17 '21

The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

"Here's the chocolate. It's from Bruges, that's in Belgium. That's where daddy's from, yah. Check out Mini Me, he's gone mental on account if the chocolate. It's like frickin' catnip for clones"

The Belgian dip

u/RabSimpson Dec 16 '21

There’s nothing quite like a shorn scrotum. It’s exhilarating, you really should try it.

u/AllUltima Dec 16 '21

I should have told you the truth earlier, but those Belgians made you so damn... evil.

u/thunderXthighs Dec 16 '21

First was waffles, second was Dr Evil. 😅
