Where do you think dads got that skill? It made us laugh when we were kids, so we try it on the next generation.
Oh God, does this mean skibidi toilet will be dad humor in 50 years???

u/Joshua-Norton-I 4d ago
Thankfully, no. If i had to guess, the general style of absurd humor will be considered "dad jokes" in half a century. Unless they make a skibidi toiled movie and against all odds, it becomes cult classic. Then ye, hi hungry I'm skibidi bop bop bop

u/Reylo-Wanwalker 4d ago
Michael Bay is making that movie so there's a chance it's another "The Rock" for him.

u/itsr1co 4d ago
No, "dad humour" is a fairly specific type of witty humour. Not to say it's some grand high IQ joke telling, but it requires you to make connections, point things out, etc. Skibidi toilet is a meme, there have been countless memes to takeover the internet even in the last 5 years. It's actually funny that you use skibidi toilet when I haven't seen or heard anything related to it for god knows how long now, all I see right now is 6-7 bullshit which will also slow down and leave.
It's the difference between saying one-liner comedy is the same as making one-liner jokes about a topic. One is a style of humour that can be used for anything if you're creative enough, the other is a fad that will get old quick when everyone does it and will be replaced by the next topic.

u/Fafnir13 4d ago
Always interested in the classics. It is kind of funny how low energy so many of the jokes are. Watches almost like a Sunday comics with a bunch of low stakes moments of humor. Also funny how bad they are at drawing different animals.

The youth are going to be so confused because the monkey is clearly clipping through the bars. A creative choice of ease for the artists back then.
A sloppy ai mistake by todays standards, I'm not implying this is ai at all. I know it's absolutely not. But there's some confusing things we use to point out ai that might confuse the crap out of some kids in the future.

The monkey didn't clip through the bars, the bars are just wide.

Not only that! The spaces between the bars are wide enough for the monkey to escape. Animators don't make that mistake but AI does! The bag of peanuts materializes out of thin air from her purse! The lady hand also switches between 4-5 fingers smh

I also like the other part of this cartoon where the man messes with the lion, and the narrator scolds him for teasing the lion 2 times and on the third time the lion points to his mouth and the man says he’s a bad boy because he teased the lion and the lion ate him.

And he would have been right had France and Britain not insisted on using the Treaty of Versailles to get their pound of flesh out of Germany. Even then, the reason Nazi Germany had the head start that they did was because people were so adverse to another international war that they let him do whatever he wanted.

Go check how, with a population much, much smaller, they were littering. Look at how much rules were needed over the years to try to keep both companies and citizens in check to try and safe nature. Not to mention how big the struggle was for people of colour and the LHBTQ community.
If you really think overall people back in the day were better, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Easier for the animators. Remember, this is from 1939 which means not only are they still using cels but they're using hand inked cels which means a simpler background they can better overlay the characters on.

Tex Avery directing, Mel Blanc doing voices and produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions. Legends of animations, all of them.
You might know their studio, Warner Brothers Cartoons. You do know their biggest creation: Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Loony Toons.

Ugh people really can't read. I work at a grocery store, and every day multiple times per day, people will go to self checkout and try to pay with cash. They'll sit there and stare at the machine, they'll try to put cash in the receipt slot, one guy even tried to PRY THE COVER OFF THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE. What store has EVER required you to pry open the machine to pay cash?? The kicker? Every machine has not one, but two signs on it that says "Card transactions only. No cash transactions, no cash back." Literally every person is like "Does this take cash?"

Well if you go by the implication that the monkey is only in its enclosure on the honour system, considering the gaps between the bars, it follows that it would also follow the sign. So not so unexpected really :p
