Before people take this too seriously, I think Toy Story was set in America and so was Inside Out and they seemed pretty slim. I'm sure there's a lot of others too.
I just think Americans should learn to take a joke considering they're living in one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I dunno maybe some fresh new material would be nice for once
Honey... you first. It's kind of hard for us to make fun of your culture when milk can grow one faster. You've got like 5 unique things to your country overall and (somehow) two of them involve dead or endangered kids. Otherwise any individual insult has to be state specific because the United States is the only country on the planet that even the 10th psychiatrist would say is schizophrenic.
Damn you seem kinda sad, I'm sorry the universe decided I would be born here lol, I recommend going outside, it's really beautiful (for now)
Awwwww, poor American couldn't keep up. Eh, if you're not gonna put any effort into it then I'm definitely not. Bye!
I read that whole thing in Stamets' "The scientists are talking" voice, and it was both savage and beautiful.
Gay science is a truly bitchy thing to behold <3
Established yourself as being deeply insufferable impressively quickly. Few traits more immediately obnoxious than this flavor of 'sassy condescension'. It's not unique, and it's not clever. You just sound whiny.
That goes doubly when it's the lead-in to a protracted "nuh uh, that's you" fueled by a litany of ignorant stereotypes. You sound like the kind of person who'd react to someone saying they didn't like your cooking by telling them that they can't complain because they aren't a Michelin restaurant chef.
All of those words and not a single one that
a) Matters
b) Has value
c) Refutes a single word I said.
Gaze upon my field of fucks and know that it is barren. Honey.
Go cry some more
Additionally, there was no America in WALL-E, it was all Buy n Large corporation. Not that I disagree with the memes premise, however.
As an American, I'm willing to speculate that Buy N Large might not even be based on my country.
Goes back to sipping a Big Gulp
"Big Gulps, huh? Alright! Well, see ya later!"
Everytime.
Also Soul
I never saw that! I heard great reviews though, but I think the whole Disney+ stuff kinda buried it from being a "must-see".
Inside Out is Canada, no?
Unless there's a Minnesota and San Francisco in Canada, no.
Oh, right. That fact definitely never registered in my mind. I've only watched each film once, and my impression was they moved to San Francisco from Canada. Hence my doubt.
Must've been all the hockey.
Turning Red was in Canada tho
You mean San Franstinktown!
It is next to the ocean, which doesn't smell that great.
Ah, you're right. They moved to San Francisco, but yes the family was originally from Canada.
I mean, there were some slim San Francisco people in the movie there still too. From like the bus and the school kids! ... I feel like I'm fumbling ... lol
It seems like they were originally from Minnesota. I stand corrected.
lol, oh right ... it's just that they liked hockey so they had to be from Canada 🤣 in my mind
People that take it too seriously deserve to be upset.
I would guess that Cars was set in the post-human location of the USA.
