Damned Dirty Zombies
This one's an easy one (and a little one) - Shaun of the Dead wank via IMDB.

It starts with the seemingly innocuous question:

"Any Americans seen this yet? How well will it be received?"

OP asks this, because apparently his American girlfriend doesn't get the humor.

It stays polite for a surprisingly amount of posts. Then, just under a quarter of the way down, much like blood in a zombie movie, the splooge begins to splatter.


"Its seems that Americans don't laugh at comedies unless it has fart jokes, black people being sassy, or stoners running around trying to get laid and find their car."

"Anyone who doesnt think its hilarious should get shot."

"Now I know what it's like for Europeans to have to wait for weeks to get movies that Americans get right away. It stinks. "

Followed by comments about how American movies rely on fart jokes until someone mentions:

"there are a few fart jokes in this film... "

Oops. :p

Of course, this leads to incomprehensible wank about American remakes of foreign films/tv shows:

"man, you're good at just lumping all americans into a pile aren't you? a sshole.. anyway, AMERICANS didn't want to recreate those comedies.... AMERICAN TELEVISION DID... american television in NO WAY represents america."

Of course, nothing is sacred. Canada get dragged into the mix:

"Canada = America Jr. "

And my personal favorite so far:

"I'm an English teacher living in Indonesia, and we recently watched the DVD with a whole cross-section of nationalities (Brits, Yanks, Canucks, Ozzies) and almost everyone loved it. I think it depends more on the nature of the viewer - Brits seem to like dark, thoughtful humour, and so do other people - just maybe not the majority audience in the states (younger viewers/ simpletons).

What happened to Coupling? Did they change the cast aswell?"

Reply:

"*beep*. you're in indonesia.. therefore, you know nothing about the united states. for one, calling us "yanks" is insulting as hell... for two, making broad generalizations about america is f ucking stupid. maybe you should come here and spend some time with people here and see. you've got some weird opinion of use due to our s hitty media and our s hitty government.. the people here aren't as bad as you'd like to believe."

Which then turns into politiwank, American-vs-British culture, materialism in film making, American-vs-British humor, etc. Note the amount of people who start their threads with, "I am an American and I..."

IMDB. It's like shooting fish in a barrel of splooge, in a way.

P.S. Come for the wank, stay for the trivia.
