    Walter White and Saul Goodman too, which is appropriate given that the US is great at selling drugs and running scams all over the world

    Yeah I'm as baffled as everybody else. Who is making these clips? Some 35yr old WH staffer?

    Who's the audience here, millennials? Anyone under 30 is guaranteed to NOT comprehend all these movie references, right? Are there any zoomers that have actually seen the OG gladiator? Do Boomers/GenXers understand the GTA San Andreas "Here we go again..." from the other clip?

    I don't understand. Who comes up with content like that, who greenlights that shit? It is all AI insanity? Many questions.

      You're giving them too much credit. This was 100% some AI shit with a prompt like "do this and add memes" or something.

      Or maybe they are trying to target 32-45 year old nerds for some reason. Thankfully I think we're all too bitter and tired to fall for it.

        AI video models can't do that, not even something absolutely horrifying like LTX that includes audio generation. This looks like it's mostly just a traditionally chopped up series of clips from different things MUXed with random lines from movies and TV shows that terminally online chuds substituted for a personality ten years ago and never let go of.

      Isn’t there some 23 year old groyper doing the social media for DHS? Maybe it’s the same guy

    I feel like a lifetime of my stupid absurdist jokes has been preparing me for this moment and yet it has failed in that preparation.

    The White House is doing its part to kill memes and pop culture I see.

    Isn't Beerus literally an amoral god of destruction that throws tantrums over pudding?

    Anyway, I was going to say that the US is more like Mr. Satan. But even though Mr. Satan was a fraud and an idiot, he had a heart of gold. Bro defeated Buu by teaching him to care for a puppy, that's wholesome shit.

    Show

    So fuck it, America is Freeza. Oh no I'm one step away from doing the liberal Dumbledore meme

        Is there a Dragon Ball villain that is stupid and evil but also powerful?

        The US is whatever that one is.

          Cell Max is a giant, monstrous reconstruction of Cell that basically just shoots lasers everywhere in a rage.
