I have heard this twice today.

WHY

WHY IS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA THE WAY IT IS

Imipolex G · 2012-11-07 19:44:01

Also from Western PA: I was talking to this lady today, she was telling me about visiting some editor, about how said editor obviously was well off because she lived in a nice house and then the black maid came in and served tea etc.

And I thought: you couldn't just say maid, hm? You had to note that it was a black maid.

And YNTKT

Everything and everyone is racist and literally Hitler. Hope this helps

King_Friday · 2012-11-07 21:10:18

Should we just indefinitely replace the word "racist" with "Hitler"?

you could but it'd lose a little bit of effect

considering how "racist" no longer has any real meaning, it needs all the effect it can get

Obā-san · 2012-11-07 21:17:35

doesn't racist mean "prejudiced against people of a certain race"?

King_Friday · 2012-11-07 21:19:27

Not so much on the internet, no.

Obā-san · 2012-11-07 21:21:13

why must things be put in terms of people on the internet

those internet people are retarded faggots

this is a valid point

I'm just afraid one of these days all this stupid online is going to spill over into real life

Generally define racists as:

A: Someone who accepts harmful stereotypes about a race/ethnicity
B: Someone who practically spits hatred whenever someone of a certain race comes by.

Yes, everybody's prejudiced, but most people eventually learn that they're prejudiced and actively avoid it. Those who haven't realized it are Type A. Those who refuse to are Type B.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-08 01:46:01

I'm not racist, but those headless people that shoot precious stones and mysteries out of their neck are ruining the economy of this country and are a strain on our already hard-working detective and mystery crew works...

....Hey...

How did the Scooby Gang ever make money (the original ones, not the Buffy gang).

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-08 01:49:05

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOMEONE HATING ON MY WEIRD TWITTER YTP TECHNO TRASH-ART.

yeah this is my analogue to Corporal hating dA.

Though the latter is a good question, too.

Weren't there only like two episodes that ever dealt with Buffy needing money?

Justice4243 · 2012-11-08 01:54:41

Naw, the later seasons are FULL of her money woes and trying to hold down a job while world saving.

Pretty much everyone else in the series also got a job that pays the bills, as well.

I think the idea was that Daphne came from a rich family and she just kind of supported their shenanigans.

...what is it about Scooby that makes it stand out from the sea of H-B produced knockoffs of it? Aside from the paranormal aspect...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-08 02:03:03

What paranormal aspect? Afaik, all the ghosts and whatnot in the original turned out to be fakes.

It was only in later series that they started adding actual paranormal elements like aliens and whatnot.

Obā-san · 2012-11-08 02:03:10

a talking dog

Anonus · 2012-11-08 02:03:26

Well, the psuedo-paranormal gimmick, or something.

^well Jabberjaw had a talking shark (who was a combination of Curly and Rodney Dangerfield)...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-08 02:12:28

Remember those 90s music videos Cartoon Network did for a couple of its shows? Jabberjaw had one of them.

I forget what it was called though, it involved them running around on a lunchbox. The song was pretty rad too.

Anonus · 2012-11-08 02:13:43

Incidentally the line "what does Scooby do that we neglect" made me bring this up:

Didn't Scooby Doo come before most of those knockoffs, though?

Anonus · 2012-11-08 02:19:11

Well, yes, but the knockoffs all came out of the same mold.

H-B didn't even try to hide it, either; most of them had at least one character whose design was modeled on Shaggy, Daphne, or Fred.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-08 02:22:53

I like to think all those shows happen in the same universe, and there's just a bunch of wacky gangs of people running around. It's like how there's always a bunch of adventuring parties running around in your average D&D setting, but with more talking Dogs/Sharks/Cars/Motorcycles (yes I remember Wonder Wheels, it was fucking fantastic. Don't you lie to me.)

Anonus · 2012-11-08 02:26:22

All of H-B's shows seem to be set in the same universe...they've done a shitload of crossovers (e.g. Yogi's Ark Lark/Yogi's Gang, Laff-A-Lympics, the Dexter's Laboratory episode with Dynomutt, the Johnny Bravo episode "Bravo Dooby Doo").

Princess Alice · 2012-11-08 02:27:43

You know what's weird to me? When people talk about H-B they tend to overlook the fact that the earlier Cartoon Cartoons were produced by H-B as well.

Anonus · 2012-11-08 02:28:23

Me too.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-08 02:30:26

Batman and the Harlem Globetrotters also showed up in Scooby Doo.

Though, it was the old-school Batman and Robin.

oh god I remember watching that on Boomerang

that was a fucking bizarre episode

Justice4243 · 2012-11-08 02:34:54

Didn't they fight the joker?

Jesus, if they tried that shit now, The Joker would cut off the face of Shaggy and commit crimes in it just so when Batman finally took it off he could say "You caught me, it was old-man Joker the entire time. And I would have gotten away with it, too. If it wasn't for you meddling bat!"

Anonus · 2012-11-08 02:39:17

The New Scooby-Doo Movies...I remember having an inability to follow (one of) the Don Knotts episode(s).

Justice4243 · 2012-11-08 02:41:10

Man, that whole franchise is kinda strange...

Wasn't Scrappy Doo the villain from the second live action?

I mean, there's no way a kid was really going to get that and find it hysterical, unlike an adult who watched a lot of it as a kid.

The Scooby Gang met Batman.
Batman has fought Aliens.
So theoretically, the Scooby gang could be investigating an ancient pyramid and suddenly Aliens pop out,
