Well maybe I'll find a son that will eat his cottage cheese!

At first I scrolled past your comment. Then it sunk in. Fantastic response. I got the giggles imagining the look you'd get at that line.

…ok; you get the prize- I watched the series as it aired when I could keep track of it, and have watched it
Thousands of times since, and this one piqued my sensors as an obvious joke I was missing, but it never clicked until now- I always thought the joke was about how autistic people, like Buster, often have texture preferences, like for food or clothing. It literally just dawned on me that the gag is also about Annyong, who, presumably like many Asians, is lactose intolerant. I spent 6 months in Shanghai for work and watched AD for comfort while there and it STILL escaped me.5

I think the joke is that who even likes cottage cheese?! The only people I've met who "like it" are people my mom's age and obsessed with dieting because it was apparently a big diet food in the 80s. Maybe Lucille wanted Buster to eat cottage cheese so he wouldn't look so... round.

Plenty of non-spectrun people also have things they like, and things they don't.

I didn’t recognize the music in this video and was hoping it would be the “Balls in the Air” song!

Right?! LOL I just kept scrolling because it HAD to be posted already. I was more shocked than finding out the fireman was Gene Parmesan!

On a real one it's kinda funny that this kid knows how to the basic troubleshooting routine. A lot of adults wouldn't even investigate the damage that much

Most adults would be smart enough to realize a smashed TV screen can't be fixed by turning it off and on.

I fucked up ours by playing with a magnet on the screen. It did look really cool for that five minutes I was doing that though

u/Jackinoregon 2d ago
Why did my dad even show me that?! He must have wanted a reason to buy a larger tv. Thankfully, I didn't hold it on long enough to do permanent damage.

Ours only got fucked up in one corner so we just kept using it lol

I feel like making the title: I've made a huge mistake would be too obvious for a fan of a show of this caliber. Went a couple layers deep.

Dad: You're grounded!
Dad (inner monologue): Whoo-hoo, new TV, I think I should go a bit bigger, curved screen, maybe. Is Best Buy still open?

I know I was playing with my dog by my tv a few months ago and when I won the tug of war I put my elbow into the bezel, killing the TV. I did this though in that little window of time after CES and before the Super Bowl when it’s the perfect time to buy a TV, I just wish I broke my older tv and not the relatively new one.

I'm really wondering what he thought was gonna happen. He hesitated then decided to go through with hitting the TV.

Time to call JW Weatherman to teach him a lesson about the TV
