Guest Steve J. Rogers Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Okay, I was listening to this sports show in New York the day after the Super Bowl and this guy (who hates Ben Affleck anyway but thats besides the point) was talking about the Budweiser ad that had the guy walk into a bar with a dog on his head (bar was no pets allowed and his pooch resembled a combo Afro/Jamacian dreadlocks look) and then he says "Then there was the ad with Ben Affleck with a dog on his head" now I don't know if he was referring to Matt Murdoch's style or DareDevil's horny mask (if it was off of the Murdoch scene in the ad its probably one of his points that Affleck has a toupee) but it sounded like someone who would take one look at a sci-fi character/movie/book, whatever and go "Are you kidding me with this shit?" Other obvious examples are getting the "Stars" mixed up, and saying Dr. Spock instead of Mr. Spock (at least you can come back with "Dr. Spock is REAL!" and not be laughed at) Steve
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 ...anybody else totally miss the point of this thread, or am I alone?
Guest Retro Rob Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 YEAH STEVE!! I know EXACTLY what you mean....
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 What would be so bad about calling Mr.Spock, Dr.Spock. He's smart enough to a doctor and who knows if he isn't.
Yuna_Firerose Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 ...anybody else totally miss the point of this thread, or am I alone? You're not the only one, apparently..
Guest Ravenbomb Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 so...was this what he was going for?
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Let me try: Was Mr.Who bad or good?
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Personally, I always called Spock..Spock..no Mr or Dr or anything..Of course, I pretty much hate Star Trek...
Guest Gathering Moss Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 I always thought that Spock was a dipshit who deserved whatever Khan gave him. Vulcan Neck Pinch my ass.
Guest Steve J. Rogers Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 The point would be, a comment I'm talking about would you be watching Angle vs Benoit and a non-wrestling fan would come in and wonder "Where is Hogan (or fill in any 1980's WWF wrestler like Savage, JYD, ect)" or say something along the lines of "(fill in with any name 80's WWF wrestler) could kick both of their asses"
Guest Ravenbomb Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 ok, lemmie try... so what's the deal with that robot head on Farscape?
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 The point would be, a comment I'm talking about would you be watching Angle vs Benoit and a non-wrestling fan would come in and wonder "Where is Hogan (or fill in any 1980's WWF wrestler like Savage, JYD, ect)" or say something along the lines of "(fill in with any name 80's WWF wrestler) could kick both of their asses" I would start laughing if someone said something like that. Do you get offended if someone says something you think is stupid in sci-fi terms or do just laugh.
