Could someone wiser than me translate?
Panel 1: Reference to the TV show Letterkenny ("Let's get on with it")
Panel 2: Reference to old TV ads for Tombstone Pizza ("What do you want on your Tombstone" i.e. "Any last requests?")
Panel 3: Reference to Futurama episode: "Brannigan, Begin Again" ("Yes. Tell my wife how I feel about her.")
Panel 4: Reference to the movie, The Princess Bride ("Yes of course, I'll do that.")
Panel 5: Reference to the movie, Blade Runner ("Time to die...")
Panel 6: Meta reference, sticking with the referential nature of the dialog instead of actually rolling credits.
Thanks for the reference breakdown.
Very welcome! With my brain, it's about the only thing I'm good for 😬
Same wavelength, dude.
Who is that, ajdnwhy do they look like a mediaeval fantasy character sitting on a modern couch?
My response from another:
[Freja] from God of War, yes. In place of Liz Lemon in 30 Rock.
Edit: There's a wonderful treasure trove of meme based gifs from the game studio itself.
Excellent. What exactly is six fingers?
Princess Bride character.
One of the six fingered man’s promises was a lie
Sure, but the one to Humperdinck was intended.
Didn't the message have something to do with Inigo Montoya, and something about his father?
I just realized the language spoken in Darmok is literally speaking in meme.
That's the whole crux of the episode, though. 😅😶🌫️
And we already do this - every culture has a form, some more ingrained than others.
During WWII (and the Cold War), Allied analysts, spies and diplomats found learning Russian particularly difficult for just this reason.
Berman producing a genuinely good episode, fans left with mixed feelings.
We'll just go ahead and give credit to the writers Philip LaZebnik and Joe Menosky in this case.
Of course, just alternate text for the final frame.
I'm not an expert on these old stories, but I'm pretty sure they're referencing a movie from Earth's past at the end there. I've had the computer reconstruct it.
The computer has regenerated another scene from this famous Earth 20th Century Story Film.
Am I supposed to wait for you to catch up, or...?
I was busy. And I made one for the Lal thread.
(FYI, Imgur will let you append images to an existing one for memes like that.)
I Ain't done! MORE HUMAN THAN HUWMAN! MORE HUMAN THAN HEWMAN! kick ass slide guitar power chords
Oh, and there's also this quick clip:
I know this one's mean, but...
Understandable, given the episode's context. No worries.
Brilliant!
It's been too long since last time, but this was great. Gonna call it from here.
Ok, got one last one ready...
This post and comment section has made me so happy 😊
