The american century of humiliation is proceeding steadily I see.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you think whoever was in charge of Qing China posted the 1800's equivalent of soy compilations, or is that uniquely American?

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Qing era soy compilations are when you keep detailed records of the production and transportation of soy beans.

if only they understood that they were humiliated

[–] nay@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty fucking humiliated.

I'm normally one to advocate for moving beyond concepts like cringe and just enjoying whatever, but i'm making an exception for this.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Me too but we can make an exception for whenever the White House does something annoying

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

calling sincerity "cringe" is bad, calling whatever the fuck this is "cringe" is the only word for it

[–] MidnightPocket@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

the ruling class is cringe

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago

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

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Imagine how Mel Gibson must feel about his biggest movie being used to shill for Israel lol

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

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

What do you mean? He defeated Cell, don't diss the Champ like that.

[–] ProgAimerGirl@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

gonna catch a megaton punch talkin' about the champ like that

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Freeza isn’t very intelligent but he’s miles smarter than the US

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

The US is whatever that one is.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Very specific forms of Buu

Old Broly?

Pilaf back in the day???

Idk honestly no one really maps very well

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

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

trump-moist See? We DO have heroes besides Spongebob and Spiderman. So there!

Walter is actually a good guy and the hero of breaking bad, I have a phd in media literacy smug-explain

Why are evil people always so pathetic? Just no sense of shame catgirl-disgust

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

This is just the current version of "Thank you Jack Bauer."

Most mature CHUD.
