theatre majors are the most annoying people on earth and I will hold firm on that statement

[–] SARGEx117 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do local theater, and people don't understand how correct you are.

Holy shit, Nevin, nobody gives a flying fuck that you have a degree, your line reading is flat as fuck. No I don't care you starred in Hamlet during your community college days.

[–] RubberElectrons 5 points 1 year ago

Otoh... Kinda sad that somebody tried to do the thing they wanted and instead fell to earth as soon as that rolled up degree touched their hands.

"I'm so tough that I don't even get scared in an elective activity I paid to go to!"

Found the former theater major.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don't have to be a theater major to think the meme is goofy :)

[–] sock -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

found the guy who was scrutinized for expression by toxic family and friends

[–] Donkter 2 points 1 year ago

Bruh I'm a form film major.

[–] Gyrolemmy 10 points 1 year ago

This is so accurate. I worked in a haunted house briefly and there are a lot of people who went to film school, but never did anything with it after their capstone project or whatever.

What's a former theater major? Am I also a former engineering major even though I'm an engineer now? This is such a weird way to phrase the post, and incredibly insulting too.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was phrased to be insulting on purpose because it's a joke.

[–] FlyingSquid 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Former theater majors often don't go on to anything theatrical. Not for very long anyway.

[–] NocturnalMorning -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sure, I was married to one.

[–] cricket97 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

then whats your point? pretty sure you know what it means

[–] NocturnalMorning 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's insulting and belittling for no reason.

[–] cricket97 -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

there is a reason, theatre majors are annoying and contribute very little to society.

[–] NocturnalMorning 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used to think like you do. It's a very narrow world view though, and a little bit sad even. Movies, tv, theatre, and music. Those are all probably things you enjoy and spend a great deal of time with, and yet you criticize it and look down on them for it.

[–] cricket97 4 points 1 year ago

We're talking about ex theatre majors, not people who work in media. I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I'll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene. This breeds contempt amongst them and it's palpable when you are hanging out with them.

engineering major... married

Press x to doubt

[–] NocturnalMorning -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're free to think whatever you want.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You really don't get jokes eh

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They're an engineer, of course they don't get jokes

[–] NocturnalMorning -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just don't find it funny to imply i couldn't possibly be in a relationship bcz I'm an engineer. The joke is overdone, and not even based in reality.

[–] sock -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

when its a joke that's repeated over and over with the intent to put someone down it stops being funny pretty quick

its pretty easy for you to say he doesnt get jokes when the narrative isnt about you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm a math major, the jokes are about me lmao

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't get scared in haunted houses because they're never actually haunted. Though I am doubtful how scary a ghost would be if any of the stories of "real" ghosts are true. Oooh noooo! It's a semi-transparent Victorian woman floating up the stairs! How scary! Pfft... Where's the ghosts capable of ripping you apart like in 13 Ghosts?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A ghost that will just straight overkill you is less scary IMO, what's scary is a ghost that makes you progressively more paranoid and unsure of what's real and in the end your soul gets trapped forever and everyone writes you off as yet another mental illness suicide

[–] MargotRobbie 8 points 1 year ago

Joke's on you, I was never a theater major and I still got famous.
