Sorry, did you want the five minute argument on this topic, or the full half hour?

I DON'T. LIKE. SPAM!

omg, you’re hilarious. you totally showed OP!

I come to F!S to have fun, not to experience some kind of a Spanish Inquisition about my commenting habits.

As someone who quotes, I think it’s relevant sometimes. E.g. when we get secrets about Terry Pratchett’s death, he had an awful lot to say about death.

It was a secret judging people who find Monty Python funny, what did the OP expect to happen?? And numerous of the comments were quotes directly responding to the secret's contents, not purely random quotes. But honestly, this is a dumbass thing to care about. Most secrets don't inspire in-depth discussions. I'm grateful the community is still active and people are commenting at all. And what does it cost you, a few milliseconds seeing comments that don't interest you?

I mean, I may as well complain that a lot of secrets don't interest me because they're about media I don't know. Oh the pain of scrolling through secrets I have no feelings about, or comments that aren't insightful essays!

Yes, in the grand scheme of things, reading some comments you don’t like isn’t a horrible trauma or anything. But you do have to expand and read them in order to know what they say, don’t you?

With secrets that aren’t relevant to you, you can just not check the comments at all. It is a bit different.

Which takes about a second.

You do know how to scroll passed comments you don't want to read, don't you?

Passed comments sounds like a phrase I'd associate with secret #7.

Ugh, *past*

I'm going to blame being up at 330am and not enough caffiene.

DA - I make these kinds of spag mistakes ALL the damn time. In my case it's because I'm a two finger typist. I'm a very speedy two-finger typist, but being a two-finger typist means I'm always looking at the keys while I type, and never at the screen. So I make mistakes, and I often don't catch them.

I hate it, but not enough to learn proper "home row" typing form at thirty-five years old. Lol.

All this to say: there are tons of reasons why one might make spag errors, and I never assume someone doesn't know the difference; I always assume they're tired, or their autocorrect acted up, or they're a two-finger typist, etc. :)

I almost completely agree and I’m sorry that you’re just going to get lots and lots of quote comments on this.

It’s especially bad with Monty Python. I can’t watch their most quotes movies or sketches anymore because it’s like I’m not hearing the jokes, just a sad echo of endlessly repeated memes.

Edited 2022-09-14 17:48 (UTC)

Eh I agree too. Referential humor is the most boring form of humor to me. 99% of the time it boils down to someone going "remember that other person's joke that was funny?" and doing/saying that is not, in itself, funny or clever at all.

On the other hand, it's largely ignorable, and not worthy of making a secret just to hate on it.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I love you.

tee hee!!!

genius!!!

Quotes as memes or lulz or because the commenter genuinely thinks they're being funny by repeating the same tired line everyone else already has (so, the entire Monty Python crowd)? Annoying, but I can deal.

Quotes as 'evidence' of one side or another in some stupid fanon wankfest? Crosses the line into obnoxious as hell.

I'm sorry OP were you not expecting the Spanish inquisition?

Come on, you’re better than that.

Homer: Oh, look at me! I'm making people happy! I'm the magical man from Happyland in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane!
[Homer walks out the room then sticks his head back in again]
Homer: Oh, by the way, I was being sarcastic.

…did you bang your head, friend?

well, duh.

Lmao
