Sorry, I’ve just seen this one often enough and seen the comments that I may have assumed too much. I’ll take my downvotes.

Yeah, yeah, stupid fat maga, whatever. Looks like they’ve both got a pretty big batch of laundry, and looking at the totality of the picture these are not likely to be wealthy people, and it being rural/suburban America, lord knows how far the laundromat is. This strikes me as unironically clever, and they’re both keeping that mower deck out of the landfill and travelling using electric power.

Looks like Teenjus to me.

Lawyer, engineer, or consultant? LOL, are you McKinsey advising Warner/Discovery?!?!?

…and Florida, and Jamaica, and Mexico, and (I presume) Spain. There is no corner of the earth in which the English will not challenge the mighty Helios until they are as red as the cross of St. George.

What are we going to do tonight, Brain?!

We have a president who issues fascistic edicts from the toilet and then phrases them like a Karen in her first term on her HOA or Condo board.

As someone who grew up in the exact window of dysfunction that makes the movie relatable but not triggering, I agree.

Reception is a little fuzzy.

The part where the baby shoves their hand in your face when you can’t do anything about it is actually pretty accurate. The face you then make as the grown-up is also spot on.

Don Perlin on pencils. I originally thought John Romita Sr, but yeah, that jawline is a bit too dashing.

I agree that the idea they were teaching was “is it reasonable for 4/6 to be larger than 5/6”, but it was too sloppy to be in a word problem with cultural context. Sometimes if you’re the teacher and a kid stumbles onto a loophole this big, you have to take the L and update your materials for the next year. Just add, “Marty and Luis ordered small pizzas at Joe’s,” and this goes away. This feels like the question writer had been in a groove with drafting more abstract problem sets, and didn’t do a good job when shifting gears into the word problem section.

“Reasonableness” as the heading implies that they’ve been working on whether a word problem makes any sense at all. It’s, perhaps ironically, an attempt to help them build critical thinking skills. Then, elementary school teachers are not all brilliant minds themselves, and even the ones who are incredibly gifted educators are overworked, and their schools are generally underfunded. You get a cheap resource, maybe even a free one, or one your former mentor threw together late one night three years ago, and you can end up with a sloppy question. If you yourself are having a bad moment, or are not particularly talented, or the kid is a known shitass, then yeah, you could overreact and respond like this.

Having just sat with my kid through a year of 5th grade math homework, it is completely plausible that this is a real quiz and a real response. Some of the question writing even in the professionally made materials is just not good, partly because it presumes a laser focus on a single “instructional variable,” despite mandates to teach holistically.

Also, ngl, that’s pretty solid freehand sign routing.

It’s implied in the music.

My kiddo had a brief phase of watching these. They’re quite bad, but when cheap CGI cartoons result in plasticky textures and unnatural movement, I have to admit that using it on Barbie of all things is low-key clever.

The old ZAZ movies were great because they knew to hang the constant gags on a plot that, threadbare as it was, made it a silly movie and not a tedious collection of parody sketches where the actors just don’t bother changing costumes.
