Wasn’t this a futurerama episode?
It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002
And that memed
britshAustralian dude bitching to the cops very loudly in a “how dare you sir!” ridiculous voice.“Get your hand off my penis!”
No, it was democracy manifest.
How is this a joke? It’s literally just a weak book/movie reference.
Ah, obscure reference humor , definitely not my thing.
Considering it’s not obscure, it makes it seem like you’re trying to act pretentious about the subject of a simple comic. Not great optics for you.
Well, it is Australian.
Oh, darn, I guess my social cred in Lemmy has taken a real hit.
Ah I see. It wasn’t just that you were legitimately questioning the comic. You’re a troll. Glad you made that clear for everyone.
Oh, sorry my highness. OP must be punished.
WATCH IT NOW
IT VERY FUNNY
The last panel is from a comical arrest of a gentleman.
“A comical arrest of a gentleman” is, itself, a perfect description, and made me laugh all over again.
Oh.
DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS
For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.
Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.
If I recall correctly he’d already committed plenty of white collar crime and by my guess assumed making a big show in front of the cameras would help him out, it really didn’t.
I just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn’t fact check anything.
Here’s a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.
It helped us out
I’ve been on the internet for a long time and I’d never seen that one. You’re doing God’s work.
Get your hand off my penis!
Ah, I see you know your judo well
RIP “are you waiting to receive my limp penis?” guy. He died a couple of months ago.
“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”
Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.
Get real drunk and then go out and do your best to get laid—except don’t get hard and while she’s lying on the bed, watching you…there you go.
If that’s not the perfect motivation to write a screenplay and cast yourself in it, I don’t know what is!
He’s now in Aussie Crook Valhalla, enjoying endless succulent Chinese meals with Ned Kelly and Chopper Read.
He was actually arrested for credit card fraud
This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.
Actually I’m imagining a heist movie where this guy’s makes a scene as a diversion while Tom Cruise steals some jewels or something. I’d watch that.
You mean Minority Report?
Thats… that’s the joke…
Well, whoosh me, then.
There’s a Futurama episode where they do this!
really tall guy from Jack Reacher
That’s Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.
Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)
Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.
I thought Jim from The Office did the best job playing the character.
Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I’ve ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?
The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.
I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action… and the second movie was hot garbage.
Well that’s exciting to hear! I’ll definitely check it out now. Thank you!
The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.
The show is really good, and no offense to Cruise, but Ritchson is a much scarier looking dude.
He’s not allowed to do that anymore, after he broke the first three.
Oh, that really tall guy.
This is literally the plot of Psycho Pass. Highly recommend btw
I thought it was a poke at Minority Report
Don’t watch S2 thou.
its a one season show and that’s it, imo
Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.
Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.
Less lethal just means more practice.
An opportunity to shoot them twice!
I hope the Agent knows his Judo well
This is Democracy manifest
You read the rolling R’s.
Oh God why do I know this?
Haha oh my gosh, I was just talking about this the other day. This man is a fucking legend.
… was
Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.
“Are you waiting to receive my limp penis!?!”
