Some popular ones from The Simpsons.

It's just making fun of how movie titles are set up, the first one is an arthouse oscarbait film, the second one is a comedy, and the third one is a horror or action flick.
>>79713866
Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott were two 90's generic leading men with similar names who starred in a bunch of forgettable movies that probably had equally similar generic drama titles.
>>79713889
The ketchup/catsup one is easy enough to understand...Mr Burns doesn't understand how to buy groceries/function in real life
Knifey/spoony was just kind of "lol, so random." (I get that "THIS is a knife" was a Crocodile Dundee spoof, but knifey spoony being a game was just weird.)

>>79713866
>Melron McDilnott in My Opinion II - The Differencing.
>>79713889
>ketchup/catsup
It's just a joke about how needlessly confusing it has to have two similar but different names for the same product. To a cultural outsider like Burns it would make no sense.
>Melron McDilnott
>Not Dermot McDermott.
>>79714020
I think the implication was that "knifey spoony" was some sort of stupid intimidation game that Bart unwittingly won.
>>79714020
I like to think The Simpsons used to do more non-sequitur jokes. Some absurd shit

I have no idea what this is supposed to be about.

>>79714514
I was a loser. They never did that though, they either just stayed away or told me straight up I was a weird loser.
>>79714029
That one really is just a non-sequitur.
Dan misread the line and they thought it was funny so they left it like that
>>79714338
Either the episode was short or they were making a point of how much they were wasting Fox's time and money. Take your pick.

That scene from "Back to the Barn" where Garnet pulls out a piece of popcorn and then just kinda scoffs and laughs at it.
I just don't get it.
>>79714588
No, someone intentionally rewrote that line to "non-Brazilian", but nobody on the staff remembers who it was (or really understands why they did it in the first place). They just left it in because they thought it was funny-sounding despite not getting the joke.
>>79714338
It's a reference to the old comedy variety show, Hee Haw, that was interspersed with country performers.

Christ now I just feel old.
This whole thread is full of pop culture references that /co/ is now too young to get.
So many jokes from The Family Guy that I don't get if because I didn't live in the eighties
I know they try to explain it in the episode but stlil
>>79714955
The reason they're always bitching about Family Guy is because most of the jokes go straight over their heads.
>>79715000
The problem is it's suppose to say "Please no meat touching, ma'am."
>>79715000
You're not supposed to get it. That's the joke.
>>79715007
I was wondering how The Critic was still popular around here, but then I remembered most of their references were on the nose gags - a dual layered sort of comedy.
>>79715000
It's supposed to be a shitty cartoon. The joke is that Andy French sucks at making cartoons.
>>79713952
Fry and Bender have a lot of overall strange lines in that episode but they're all great.
>>79714071
But they are different sauces. One has more spices and vinegar.
>>79715007
>implying Family guy doesn't directly target the age demographic that would be young enough for the jokes to go over their heads
They flat out admit it on a few different occasions.
>>79715398
What?
>>79715000
The original joke in that cartoon is a person misusing a word, either to sound smarter or because they just dont know. In this case it's calling something "Kafkaesque" when it is so not Kafkaesque.
But Andy doesn't understand humor so he thinks it's funny that she's touching the meat.

Knifey/spooney is just like that 4chan meme where Brits have weird names for things. It really is the same exact joke.

either way, it's funny because it's absurd, not because it's a cultural reference to anything.
>>79716136
Did I enter a time portal?
>>79714826
I thought it was that she caught herself almost eating something.
But it probably isn't a joke at all. Just a shot of her smiling and the popcorn is not related.
>>79715587
It isn't, though. There's plenty of those jokes in the episode, but that isn't one.
The joke is a reference to Crocodile Dundee, in which one guy pulls out a knife and threatens someone, and the other guy says "That's not a knife. THIS is a knife" and pulls out a bigger one.
The Simpsons joke simply has a man quote the movie, pull out a spoon (because misidentification of something as common as a spoon is funny), and then have his mistake pointed out to him.
His insistence it is a game can be read in two ways:
A) Knifey-spoony is a real game, and we laugh at Australia being weird again.
B) Knifey-spoony is the man's laughably bad attempt to hide his mistake.
Because it is a throwaway joke, we can't assume either is the "real" reason, but both interpretations are valid and funny.
>>79717351
>Formerly Chuck's
>Chuck's Fuck & Suck
>>79717555
Why would it be Fuck and Suck?
It would be Feed and Seed no matter who owned it before Sneed.
If Bob owned it it would be Bob's Feed and Seed, not Bob's Fob and Sob.
>>79713994
>>79717555
Ding.
>>79718116
This is why it's a joke, anon. It assumes the other words follow the owners last letters of their name. The last owner was Bob the joke would have been Bobs Fob & Sob
>>79718116
You sure are fuckin' dumb, son
>>79718116
>>79718266
But that makes no sense. What's Fob and Sob?
Whoever owns the place would sell feed and seed.
>>79718756
Who is named sneed?
If you didn't like the joke or didn't get it, that's fine, but you can't say it's not a joke
>"I can think of three good reasons."
Never got it.
Maybe I'm slow but the last season of Moral Orel didn't see any funny.
>why did you marry dad?
>well, why not?
>>79718904
That's called being sad, anon.
>>79718861
Noodle incident.
>>79718797
It's not a joke.
The place is called Sneed's Feed and Seed. It used to be owned by Chuck, which would have made it Chuck' s Feed and Seed.
You can imply that there's a rhyming scheme that must stay intact, but that doesn't make it so. There's no logical reason for it to be called Chuck's Fuck and Suck, especially when it's a feed and seed store.
>>79719134
Do you not understand how a joke can fall apart under scrutiny?
>>79715007
>>79714994
>>79714955
Even back during Season 2-3 I knew a ton of people laughing at Family Guy references they were too young to get.
It's almost borderline theft and degradation of the idea, take something that had actual substance from the 70s/80s and just make it into funny non-sequiter word, comedy gold.
Family Guy is literally reaching backward in time and poisoning pop culture.
>>79719134
you're new to this humor thing aren't you
>>79719214
The Simpsons did the same thing but with media from before your time. Go listen to the commentaries, they are so fucking proud of it, "we got THIS scene from this movie" and "the joke is from this movie we like". Nearly every joke and scene is just copied from something else.
>>79719216
Theres nothing to understand. They're cows, they have tools. Its not very funny.
The meta commentary of people reading things into it that don't exist is pretty funny.
So its more performance art.
>>79719134
It's just an inside joke among Simpson's writers that they would have stores that rhyme or sound similar, like "Howard's Flowers". It doesn't make sense for us because it's just something the writers put in there for fun.
>>79719182
>Do you not understand how a joke can fall apart under scrutiny?
I sure do. Just like this one is right now.
>>79719134
I explain how it was a joke, you're refusing to comprehend it. That's not my problem, that's your problem. Deal with it.
>>79719216
More like ant tools.It's just simple absurdism
>>79719134
The episode never said it was ever actually called Fuck and Suck, obviously, and realistically it probably was just a feed and seed place.
But by choosing "Chuck" as the former owner's name, the viewer is still meant to THINK of that regardless of what the place really used to be. They wouldn't even have the "formerly Chuck's" there otherwise.
>>79715000
So the Heathcliff maymay comes from this scene...
>>79719134
Carl, its time to go home with mommy and play with your trains
>>79719270
It makes perfect sense, it just doesn't work as a joke when you actually look at it.
Unless you're 9 and "dirty words" send you into hysterics.
>>79719262
>>79719216
The joke was that cows are stupid so they make stupid tools
>>79719134
Is this what one could actually describe as autism?

What was Kevins point anyway? "please no meat touching ma'am" as she's touching the meat? that's humor?
>>79713866
that episode of clarence when he makes all the clarence dollars
in the dream sequence shit gets all black and white and in a different animation style?
>>79719320
Right. But just because the implication is there, it doesn't make it so.
>>79719428
"Meat touching" is a euphamism for masturbation.
>>79715000
What is this from?
>>79719475
But the implication is the joke?
Friggin' children jumproping to "Ms. Susie" understand this, you have to just be fucking with us.
>>79719475
>Right. But just because the implication is there, it doesn't make it so.
The humor is in that they're making people think it you dunce. Its mostly fun for the people making the scene.
So you get to chuckle about your thoughts and they get to laugh about causing them.
Dumbass.
>>79719486
god damn that is actually pretty good. I didn't know Kevin had it in him

>>79719376
>I almost typed up a huge paragraph explaining the thought process behind the joke but I realized I'm just encouraging you.
I understand the thought process behind the joke perfectly. but again:
1-Just because something is implied, doesn't make it so. We're supposed to think it was Fuck and Suck, but there's absolutely no reason for that to be the case, other than the writers want you to think that. Which again, the whole premise falls apart if you just take a second to look at it.
2-Even taking it as a joke, it's not funny. "OOOOOHHHH Fuck and suck! They said bad words! HEHEHEHEHE! Big deal. It's swear words. What are you, 5 years old or something? I bet you die laughing when somebody farts.
>>79719638
>2-Even taking it as a joke, it's not funny. "OOOOOHHHH Fuck and suck! They said bad words! HEHEHEHEHE! Big deal. It's swear words. What are you, 5 years old or something? I bet you die laughing when somebody farts.
It's a throw-away gag that's shown for 4 frames. You have autism.
>>79719559
>The humor is in that they're making people think it you dunce
There's no humor there.
When I first saw it, I knew exactly what they were going for, but it just didn't work when you think about it.
>>79719737
>it just didn't work when you think about it
you don't have to think with simpsons humor. either the 'formerly chucks' clued you in and you got what they were going for, or you moved on. this isn't high brow humor
>>79719681
Why, because I have a brain that work, and doesn't short circuit at the mere thought of "dirty words"?
You're an immature little twat, more like.

He doesn't. While "meat touching" may refer to masturbation, kevin is just and idiot and says it because he thinks it would be funny it the lady touched the meat when told not to. Besides he's against anything bad or naughty he wouldn't make a joke like that.

>>79715000
the point is that kafkaesque subjects are desperately seeking traits with which to identify, and they dont understand the call of the other. the kafkaesque subject is always stuck between systems, trapped by the other as a product of their desire, hence why it's 'funny' to laugh at the joke- precisely because you're not supposed to get it there is an injunction to laugh.

I still don't get the logic of this joke. I mean, I get it's "Chuck's Fuck and Suck", but why would the other two words change if his name is in front?

The joke is that renaming the store Sneed's implies a change from whorehouse to agriculture supplies, but the words feed and seed could just as easily still refer to fellatio and impregnation.

Larson always remarks that his biggest regret with this comic was making most of the tools shapeless and confusing but making one of them look like a saw. That one adds a whole layer of "wait, are the others supposed to be something? Am I missing something?"
>>79719134
>There's no logical reason for it to be called Chuck's Fuck and Suck, especially when it's a feed and seed store.
You do realize that the punchline of most jokes are not derived from stating the most logical response, right? The unexpected play on words and often times the ridiculous image they conjure is what makes the joke.
Part of why the "Why did the chicken cross the road? " joke works is because the punchline, "To get to the other side" is so totally the logical answer. It subverts the fact that jokes usually do not have logical answers .
>>79727737
this is probably the most infuriating /co/ meme, I'm positive everyone who says they don't get it is trolling but for some reason it still makes me mad every time.
>>79731787
The joke still only makes sense in Larson's head. This happens all the time. People tell jokes that are only funny to them.

The joke was the Crocodile Dundee "That's not a knife, THIS is a knife," has been done to death so they subverted it where the guy literally didn't have a knife. So not only was that not a knife but neither was this.
"Knifey spoony" was to give the bit a button. They could've gone with, "Crickey! Then where's me knife?" but the route they went with is inherently funnier because it makes no sense and also makes a lot of sense at the same time.
>>79732631
>still waters run deep
Still waters run deep is a proverb of Latin origin now commonly taken to mean that a placid exterior hides a passionate or subtle nature. Formerly it also carried the warning that silent people are dangerous, as in Caesar's summing up of Cassius in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar

Kafkaesque originates from the artist Franz Kafka, who was know for doing very crazy and abstract pieces of art and writing that would usually invoke powerful emotions of discuse and grossness.
The woman is misusing the word by thinking that a butcher shop that sells huncks of flesh is something that would be in the same vien as a work of Kafka. She is miss using the word by confusing the subject as something much deeper than what is shown.
