80s movies also taught me that sexual assault is kinda funny and a totally harmless prank.

Hey do you want to stalk a woman’s house, wait til shes out of her room, break in, and steal her underwear? It’ll be totally rad!

I had a movie idea a while back about a bunch of dudes in their 50s who decide to re-enact a bunch of their favorite movie scenes from old movies like that and realise half way through that what rhey are doing is actually a sex crime and then hilarity ensues as they try and get out of the situation without getting arrested.

Seth Rogan and James Franco would kill in a movie like that.

Franco wouldn't even need to act!

It's Always Sunny has an episode close to this. The one where they are at ski resort. I think those ski movies were from the 90's though.

When I think of ski movie from that era, I think of Better Off Dead. Which I thought was a really good movie, which was 1985. I was too young at the time so I saw it later in the 90s.

Versus something like Karate Kid (which I think is OPs meme) which was terrible in comparison to Better Off Dead. I still think it’s a good movie and worth watching today.

How do you explain this then:

I’m sure there’s plenty in whatever the afterlife is.

The exception that proves the rule.

I'm indigenous in Canada and we pretty much grew up poor in my family. We had enough but we never had a lot to enjoy any luxuries.

One family in our town had a bit of wealth and they lived very comfortably, the girls looked good and the boys were good looking young guys. They were all older than me so we were in awe of them.

One of the boys although he was native had a very light complexion with curled hair. He often wore a sweater like that around town and he looked so completely out of place it was almost funny. Except he was popular, built, strong and well known by everyone. He could do whatever he wanted and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

And to top it all off ...... he was a dick ... just like in the movies.

Lol

Ted McGinley, AKA the TV series grim reaper (if he shows up in a series it's almost definitely getting cancelled).

[–] Apeman42 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Patron saint of jumping the shark.

[–] Spiralvortexisalie 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Who is Ted C Mcginely and what has he been in? Ted M Mcginely was the Marcy’s second husband in married with children and lasted longer than the first husband (4v6).

[–] Apeman42 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Happy Days, The Love Boat, and Dynasty were some of the shows he joined that got him the title. Also the Revenge of the Nerds movies. He was in the first one, then came back for the shark jumping in 3 and 4.

Interestingly, McGinley isn't always the reason for the shark jump. Sometimes he's fine, like you pointed out with Married With Children. He just gas a knack for joining series later in their production, as they're turning to shit.

Edit: I reread your post, now I see you're talking about the middle initial. Previous poster probably mixed up the name a bit with John C. McGinley of Scrubs and Office Space. Still leaving this here.

Conversely, he plays my favorite character on Shrinking, but I guess it helps that he's in it from the very beginning

Back when dinosaurs cost a dollar and 640K of RAM was more than enough for any purpose, people in my sphere would refer to this style of dressing as "Preppy" and it was a style largely relegated to wealthier people and people who wanted to appear to be wealthy. So, maybe there was a bit of an association with this appearance and "rich assholes" in general?

Hey Handsome Dan !

The same trope was used in bollywood during mid 90s to early 2000s but for showing how a 'hero' matures and stops being a dick to due something the girl in the movie does.

Salon quality hair. My god its beautiful.

[–] jaybone 1 points 8 months ago

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
