This is the best SNL skit I think I've seen in a long time. It really touches down on the absurdity of some of these Christmas commercials that I've seen. Making any sort of major decision, like buying a car, adopting a pet or proposing, shouldn't be a surprise. But so many commercials and movies push this idea that it should be a surprise, and it's awful. There are a ton of people out there who don't have the critical thinking skills to realize that's not smart :laugh:

The one Kia ad I keep seeing on tv irks me, some woman buys a Kia, then she comes back and buys another one. Like buying a vehicle during a pandemic not once, but twice, is the message to send people.

"Hey, you struggling wankers, f*** off with your savings and stuff, waste money on not one, but two rides you don't need!"

The new trilogy is horse shit, you're horse shit.

YOU'RE f***ING OUT OF ORDER.

Oh the new trilogy has the stinky reek of horseshit about it it, don't mistake me. It's just not constructed entirely out of horseshit... particularly UGLY horseshit I might add. As the prequels are.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

Episodes 1-3 may be poorly constructed with cringe moments, but the overall story enhances the original 3 and the stories that follow in Clone Wars and Rebels as well as Rogue One are enhanced by it, not to mention Mandalorian is also directly influenced by that story arc and the future slate of shows like the Obi-Wanker series. Are they cringey? yeah mate, big time. But they also show Anakin being an awkward person growing up being a Jedi, you see how weird it is to grow up within that, how he was manipulated by both sides and the whole time, all he wants is to belong and have a sense of family. It may shock people to hear this but Episode 1-3 has just as many cringey af moments as Episode 4-6.

Episodes 7-9..

Look man you can just say you're nostalgic for them and I'll totally accept that.

Because they are utter garbage cinema.

They are mostly trash because of the acting and script of some of the people, but it also introduced a lot and provided a story that humanizes one of the best, most iconic characters, in the entire franchise.

All 7-9 does is rehash the originals, does nothing original, makes a mockery of the first 6, etc.

They had to refresh the originals because the prequels left such an overwhelming taste of gungan shit in people's mouths that they knew they had to give them something to cleanse the palate.

Hate on the new ones all you want. I don't care. Don't elevate those piles of donkey shit in the process... it ain't right. Maybe it's just accurate to say they haven't made a truly good SW movie since the originals. Though I was able to wring some small enjoyment out of the new ones.

Yinzers ready for this snow fall? f*** snow. I hate cold weather.

I like snow for a few weeks then it can go away. The pugs love it. Have to push them out the door if it’s raining. If it’s snowing it’s hard to get them back in.

No snow for the rest of this year though in Vancouver, just rain..........everyday :laugh:

THE EXXXPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPANNNNSE IS BACK!

Finally, something to watch that isn't half a season of meh and half a season of oh f*** now it's good, let's wait a year to see if we still give a shit again.

Westworld took over a year to get back, I still haven't watched the recent season, don't care to. But The Expanse, each episode is fantastic.

I've tried to get through the 1st season three times. Just can't do it and I love super dense sci-fi.

At first, I tried too and just didn't pay much attention, so I gave it another go and this time watching the first few episodes again kind of helped. It's a well established world within books and you're jumping right in, it's how diehard the fans are of the books.

You should give it another go.
