#//TO EXPLAIN THE JOKE:
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

20th century authors will write realistic predictions of the nightmares that arise due to the Torment Nexus that is generative artificial intelligence, then ask "is anyone gonna handle gender very poorly in this story" and not wait for an answer.
#cool ada art tag#funny and normal robot tag#//TO EXPLAIN THE JOKE:#//dahl's The Great Automatic Grammatizator famously predicted the horrors of genAI#//but to get his point across he makes a cheap shot at female authors by having the first author to sell out be a lady#//and the protagonist sneers to his friend about how the machine wrote better romance than she ever could and she knows it#//while you COULD argue said protagonist is flawed... no one challenges his logic and the machine is objectively VERY mid at its job#//it's kinda presented like when a villain ''has a point'' ya know?? like oooh he said what we're all too scared to admittt#//lem's anthology also has a story that also predicts genAI (Trurl's Electronic Bard)#//but the only female characters to appear in any real capacity are pretty princesses to covet#//even then the first ones to be mentioned in any real capacity are well over halfway into the series (WAYYY after the genAI installment)#//and the only one to get a speaking role (that isn't a hallucination) appears in the final chapter#//she's described as lethally radioactive and a teratophile though so i'll give her that

Just for comedic purposes, I think it would be so funny if every time, when Bruce tries to chide Jason for his ways of working, Alfred and Dick would pop out of nowhere to remind of Batman's earlier days. Because, like, if you want to talk about being an inconsiderate vigilante, remember yourself, I guess?
Bruce, pinching the bridge of his nose: Jason.
Jason, rolling his eyes: Old man.
Bruce: I thought we agreed to lessen your killing agenda this month. Jason: I didn't kill anyone, did I? Bruce: You really think this man will survive after being thrown off the highest building of the Gotham?
Alfred, appearing behind him: Master Bruce, you really think he won't? Bruce, confused: Naturally. Dick, appearing by Alfred's side: Hm! Let's see what BATMAN thinks about that. Dick: (puts on an old recording from decades ago) Teen Bruce on old footage, arms folded on chest, and eyes rolling: No, Alfred, he will be fine. And he deserved to be thrown out of that goddamn building, anyway. He is not going to die. Urgh. Bruce, with his eyes twitching: ... Jason, bursting out in laughter: Can we bring this Bruce back?
Naturally, Dick and Alfred also spend their time complaining on the youth, and how their rebel age is going to kill them.
Dick: Anyway, I think B is being a bitch. Jason is just in that, uh, gentle age, when he searches his own ways to work and express himself in this world. Alfred: I understand. I remember my own struggles back when master Bruce just started to pretend to be an overgrown bat... Bruce and Jason, standing in the same room as them: ...

One of the reasons why I love Steddie is how sweet Eddie was with Steve in the forest scene. That’s what got me into this ship. It was nice to see someone being patient and kind to Steve like that and it coming from someone like Eddie who viewed Steve so differently means a lot.
I loved how he told him how much Dustin looks up to him, making Steve smile and even after that wanting to joke around a little to make Steve laugh as well.
It was such a nice change, because all the other scenes we just see him bickering with someone or people making him seem stupid when he asks questions. Eddie didn’t make fun of him for not knowing Ozzy like he probably would have prior to things and instead let it be and called Steve cool. I love them.
#I know it shouldn’t be taken to heart how Dustin was like with him#But it just bothers me sometimes#Or even Nancy’s comment how it explains everything bc Steve hit his head#Implying there’s something wrong with him even as a joke#I just take things personally sometimes because I see myself in Steve and I’d love to be given that patience too#steve harrington#stranger things#eddie munson#steddie

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU
I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.
like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 5 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 5 spoilers#(not me realizing that meleanor doesn't actually appear non-silhouetted until part 5 so uhhhhh. whoops.)#(i know a bunch of you read the spoiler-tagged stuff though so i'm putting my life in your hands)#revan would be the funniest one i think because it's just raven but with the vowels switched and i'd be over here going WHAT COULD IT MEAN#anyway i'm here to give the people what they crave and it's obviously references to 70s american sitcoms that spun off of happy days#mork and grimdy. i-is that anything.#the problem of course is now that i might have to actually come up with a bunch of laverne and shirley jokes#when i haven't...actually watched it in a million years#(my personal pool of media i consumed growing up is a good 60% made up of random things i found to watch at 3 am because of insomnia)#(this probably explains a lot about me) (the opinions about zorro adaptations anyway)#hold on let me marathon all eight seasons and -- wait i'm just now finding out there was also an animated series#in which they joined the army and their sergeant was a literal cartoon pig but also they went to space and fought giant gorillas?#but how does boo boo kitty factor into this

speaking of chinese horse memes this one is still my absolute favorite and at the risk of killing the joke by explaining it i must at least try to translate
loosely—
panel 1: 有句话不知当讲不当讲 (i have something to report but i don't know whether i should tell you or not) panel 2: 马上讲 (tell me immediately) panel 3: 之前的情报有误 (there was an error in an earlier report)
and the keywords here are 马上 in the second panel, which put together mean "immediately" but individually mean horse (马) and up or on (上)
so 马上讲 can both mean "tell me immediately" and, more literally, "tell me on the horse"
#SORRY TO A) REPOST THIS AGAIN AND B) EXPLAIN THE JOKE#BUT IT'S TOO. I LOVE IT#this needs to go in#crab files#forever fave. forever save

Hello Madam. Sorry Madam.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#madam jin#jin zixuan#jiang yanli#'Hey what is WWX trying to do here?' some kind of grab-and-twist maneuver that would be very upsetting to watch.#I know LWJ technically assists WWX in this scene in terms of blocking someone's blow on his behalf -#- but let's be honest. Real friends stop you from doing the truly stupid things.#Or maybe it was envy. Penis envy. The non-freudian kind.#Regardless...man this whole scene was just full of “and then someone else walks in”.#I swear to god every cultivator who is supposed to be hunting ends up wandering into this part of the woods.#a bonus for me because it gives me several good joke opportunities.#Madam Jin gets top prize for best entrance and exit. I wish her all the best. And a divorce…madam please leave him…#And can we please address the horses? I love horses. But why...why do they ride in on horses when they HAVE FLYING SWORDS?#I can only imagine it is for the dramatic flair? It just feels so jarring hearing someone clip clop in#and then another person swoop in on a sword.#The rules of mdzs's world can get fuzzy and I have to nod in an impressed manner at how much MXTX gets away not explaining.#Maybe the sword gets tired after a while and they need to give it a break? Maybe there is a sword union that dictates working hour limits?#…Would that make Chenqing a scab? Oh god it would… unions *hate* this flute!

"Marcille hates all of Laios' freak traits but loves them in Falin" is honestly a really good joke but... you guys do know it's a joke right?
It's such a funny one I honestly find it impossible to get mad at even when people mistake it for an actual truth about the characters but JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR
THIS is how marcille reacts when Falin is predictably just as enthusiastic about eating monsters as her brother was.
That is not the face of a woman who thinks this trait is lovely and endearing as long as it's exhibited by the girl she loves. That is the face of a woman who is taking 7d8 psychic damage and yet knows deep in her heart she won't like Falin any less for it.
The way young Marcille reacts to Falin eating berries Marcille can't recognize but Falin knows are safe is pretty similar to how she reacts to eating monsters years later, albeit with more fear than disgust. The difference in her relationships with Laios and Falin isn't just that she's attracted to Falin, it's because the Touden siblings, while similar, are in fact different people. Not just genderswaps of each other.
Also, I think you all already know this, but just to say it: she doesn't actually hate Laios for any of his freak tendencies either. He's one of her best friends. She's just a lot quicker to be outwardly exasperated with him while she's quieter about it with Falin.
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#laios touden#marcille donato#dungeon meshi meta#again I cannot be mad at fanon jokes when they're actually funny#and also marcille absolutely DOES have different standards for the touden siblings#i'd argue the way she more easily argue with laios than falin is a) because falin is better at EXPLAINING her autistic swag#so after the initial freakout marcille can calm down. laios does NOT know how to do this#and b) because she DOES idealize falin. And so she takes this stuff in a 'well not even my beautiful angel darling can be perfect' way#though in the end their autistic swag is also a big part of what she appreciates in both of them#in different ways as i said but the oddities are part of why she's close with both of them!! that doesn't change the exasperation though!

I showed someone a photo of my room, and their response was “I thought this was a photo of a haunted house attraction at first”
I think. This is a success.

(This was the photo)
#context is we are making silly horror short films- and friend said we might need fake dead things for props#I said I have real dead things#I think they thought I was joking bc they went aaaah of course you just have a trove of dead things lying around???!?#and then I showed them the photo of my room#and explained… yes :3 I do ;3 and it’s all ethically procured by yours truly! straight from the forest floor!#vulture culture#bone collecting#bone collector#dead things

funniest thing to me abt the bob newhart ending is the fact that they recreated it perfectly down to the pajamas

#wwdits#what we do in the shadows#nandermo#also in the bob newhart one he says he's 'married to a hot blonde'#so i guess that explains guidor this season?#setting up for this joke???#like i kNow the books are most likely just reproductions of the og scene#bUt wHAt if tHEy aRnt???#and the quality makes it too hard for me to tell?? 😩

tiefling jon's first day at the Archives
#id in alt#the magnus archives#tma#magnus archives#elias bouchard#jonathan sims#tma jon#jon tma#jon sims#tma dnd au#tiefling jon#gammijart#tma s4#so this is that comic i was talking about a few weeks ago. with way too many backgrounds and effort#ill say i did enjoy doing the backgrounds a lot and thats worth a whole lot. but also. if this gets no notes i will. cry#anyways. love drawing a correct perspective grid and then fucking it up in favor of something that is wrong but FEELS right <3#also any anachronisms shall be explained by this being a fantasy setting#always difficult to post something that's not a joke. sincerity. yuck#and this does still have some jokes. just less punchy than id usually post. also no jmart or other ships. whoof#i havent done enough with elias. he's such a slimy bastard - v fun to write#he talks a bit more formally here than in canon but tbf he is an elf so /shrug#EDIT: aaaah between panels 4 and 8 i forgot i gave him an ace ring!!

ship of theseus is so easy. Yeah it’s the same ship. Each piece that’s replaced is batel b’rov of the rest of the ship and becomes the same ship as the rest of it. The only problem would be if you replaced the ikkar of the ship in one go. Now of course there’s a machloket about what the ikkar is- some say the mast, while others say it’s a continuous rov of the hull, while still others say that it’s just enough of the hull that the ship couldn’t stay afloat regardless of whether it’s contiguous- but the principle is simple.
#i had to look up ship part names for this joke#jumblr#jewish#ship of theseus#explain the joke: batel brov is a halachic principle which means nullified in the majority#ikkar means essence#rov means majority again#machloket means argument
