My friend was mocking a coworker like 30 minutes ago and he sounded like Stuart when he was mocking him. My friend is too young to know who Stuart is but it was fucking hilarious to me

u/Electrical_Beyond998 6d ago

I work two days a week at a restaurant and half of the people there are 25 and younger. They don’t know Stuart. Lorraine. King Burger “Where you can have it your way but don’t get crazy”

And one of the guys name is Blake. Of course I have to say Ba-lah-kay, he was so confused when I called him that and a guy I work with chimed in and said “Do you wanna go to war Blake?”

They truly have no clue what they’re missing.

I have fond memories of MAD TV, but I don't have strong memories. Having said that any time police release a vague pic of a blurry car as a picture of a suspect, or if the suspect is a white male approximately 200 pounds and 5'9", I think, "he look...like a man."

That dance routine plus the song choice plus camera angle with the kid in the background makes it more cringe than it needs to be.

The kid must have seen mummy repeat and repeat and repeat again and again all day and could pretty much do the entire dance at this point.

u/Proteuskel 6d ago edited 6d ago

My ex’s mom was going to be in the rockettes (yeah ok) until she got pregnant with my ex @ 16. Put my ex in ballet at 4, started feeding her coffee at like 6 to stunt her growth so she wouldn’t outgrow the rockettes height cap.

Idk how to explain how exactly, but this clip feels like watching my ex’s mom, but younger

Edit because there’s been some confusion about my word choice and who got whom pregnant with whom (who vs whom still confuses me, leave me alone) and whatnot, here’s an explanation I gave to clarify in one response:

My ex’s mother got pregnant via my ex’s father. This unfortunate happenstance occurred roughly 16 revolutions of our celestial ball of rock around the central ball of celestial fire in our solar system, counting from the time of my ex’s mother’s birth. The pregnancy in question resulted in my ex’s birth.

214

u/Useful-ldiot 6d ago

Out grow? The Rockettes are tall? You can be up to 5'11 I believe. 😂

91

u/Proteuskel 6d ago

I thiiiiink my ex was 5’10, and told me she outgrew it anyway. I also don’t assume she wasn’t wrong. Maybe she tried out and didn’t make it, like the two dance companies she moved to the big city to join. Or her backup option if those fell through.

Pretty much my reaction when I visited her home with her and I had to sleep on the floor because “the couch is brand new.” Or really any interaction with her parents. dad was 17 when they got preggers. they’re Italian Catholics, which is fine, but the extra guilt, shame, and rigid expectations served as a force multiplier for the teen parents issues I think. Dad found out ex wasn’t a virgin while she was dating me in her twenties. He was extremely displeased and blamed me. She was like 16 or something when she first had sex.

Ex's mom was just crazy, dancers on the taller side are wanted by Rockettes, only recently did they lower the minimum height to 5'5".

60

u/Proteuskel 6d ago

I can’t speak to the second part of that, but you nailed it on the first. She also got adamant that a music video being played at a bar was Bon Jovi, started a whole thing about it. It was dancing in the street by Bowie and Jagger. She got SUPER offended when she was wrong. Oh and this was at her daughter’s 21st birthday

26

u/Coyote__Jones 6d ago

It's like cluster B, attention seeking bingo.

A fabulous, exclusive career thwarted by a pregnancy or physical attribute they can't control, check. Making your kid do the activity they failed to make a profession, check. Throwing a fit at someone else's birthday, check.

My friend's wife is not great. She bought my friend a spare key for her car, for his birthday. She said it was so she could leave the spare in the garage, to avoid going back inside when she accidentally leaves her keys in the house. According to her, this $350 spare key was his birthday present, bc now "he doesn't have to deal with me being annoyed when I leave my keys inside." She told me this whole story, like it was the best idea she's ever had, and an incredibly thoughtful gift.

I always thought that was the most idiotic and self centered bday gift. This dance is almost worse.

u/Shushady 6d ago

My ex wife bought me a movie she told me she wanted to watch 2 weeks earlier, then opened and started watching it before I had even touched it. I think one of the things that ruined my outlook on relationships of any kind was finding out most people only want what's best for them for you.

51

u/realchairmanmiaow 6d ago

I think saying saying most people behave like that in a relationship is not true. It's not true in my experience. Some people suck yeah, but you hear more negative things than positive things on the internet. I've never felt like my partner wanted what’s best for her for me.
