I think it’s like saying “there’s no guard rails now” because you are not in safe and regulated society where all the wild animals you see are on your coins, but you are now outside of that safe comfortable world and the wild animals are actually wild animals.

It reminds me of the saying “when you hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras” because you’d really be somewhere exotic if the sounds turned out to be a zebra. Well you’d really be somewhere outside of your regular comfort zone if the buffalos were sitting in the grass instead of sitting on your nickle.

Oh nice, Michael Ian Black. I was a big fan of him since Stella and I followed him on Instagram in like 2015 or so. He went live on Instagram one day when I happened to be scrolling, and when I clicked on it there were only like a hundred people watching. He was just sitting on his couch filming himself drinking wine.

He was super drunk and he was trying to talk about something political like the presidential election or something and then all the comments told him he was too drunk to be doing a live video and when he saw the comments he realized he was indeed way too drunk and he just stopped the video.

I was so stoked that I got to see it.

You can’t act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don’t see. If you’re being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.

In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It’s as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.

what are those three things behind the dude? windows? hanging picture frames? I don’t understand what the two angled lines are on the tops of them if they are either of those things.
