I have this version of Battleship.
It is crazy; that this seemed like a good idea to put on the box, at any point in the past.
What’s the problem? It’s just like my favorite book, Men Are From Mars, Women Belong In The Kitchen Making Me A Fried Bologna Sandwich.
Even if it’s hallucinated by the AI who enlarged the image, I like how the wife has smeared lipstick on her like Joker
I think that’s a knife in her left hand
The girl whispers “do it mom”
I think this meme is quite a bit older than the AI craze.
I can’t see anywhere on the box it claims it’s fun for the entire family. It’s a two person game after all.
In fairness, you’re right. I just spent a few minutes looking at higher resolution images of the box and it does not make that claim.
That said, the meme captures the spirit of an era pretty perfectly. I still think it hits the nail on the head.
So bad we went so woke, it was a happier world before.
/s
People were so much better looking when they smiled.
/s
For some it for sure was
You know what they say: go woke, you blew up my battleship.
“G-4”
“You woke my battleship!”
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship
Niiiice
This is what I don’t understand. Yes, corporations pander to marginalised demographics, but I have not once seen them lose significant income or have been boycotted. Fascist corporations, meanwhile, lost customers and stocks like Target and Tesla.
Like really, who’s going broke? Methinks this is projection from the right, or disinformation from state or non-state actors alike to keep the population divided.
To be right wing is to be ruled by emotions. Humans are all emotional creatures, but for some people it reaches a point where emotion alone creates reality. Facts are there to be picked up or set aside to support feelings. When their guy eats ice cream it’s because he’s a man of the people. When your guy eats ice cream it’s because he’s a baby. Facts don’t matter. It’s feelings.
And most of their feelings seem to be fear. Fear of loss. Fear of humiliation. You can show them stats and history demonstrating how, like, a diverse workforce leads to higher productivity and greater happiness, but that doesn’t matter. They’re not looking at facts. They’re feeling feelings.
Imagine trying to talk to someone who’s drunk. That’s the right wing, except all the time and they can’t really sober up. Honestly, it sounds like hell.
This is of course not helped in any way by the fact that right-wing news are basically just fear, hate, tits and the weather report.
Yo, don’t compare my drunk ass to those people. When I’m drunk I only get 100% more talkative and like 500% more gay.
So do the right wingers’ homie. So do the right wingers’
Methinks this is projection from the right
It always is.
Bud lite. That’s it. That’s all they’ve got. Number one beer to number three and since it’s a massive corporation, the larger entity didn’t go broke but they’re too poorly educated to understand they moved from one brand to another under the same mega corp.
What? I see an entire family having fun: men with the advertised product and women with seeing their men happy.
I don’t understand the complaints here.
The woman must never interrupt the man, for men do important things
…and the women wash the dishes.
Under His Eye.
Blessed be the fruit.
They knew that a man so hurt and so perplexed may turn in anger, even on the people he loves.
I like that this demon boy is obviously holding that poor family hostage and they have to indulge his every bullshit.
Classic Twilight Zone
Or early Supernatural.
Which was just ripping off The Twilight Zone
I see it more as a (shittier) fantasy version of The X Files
It was certainly a precursor, but shitty is far from a good descriptor.
Unless you’re referring to Supernatural. Which is still not really that shitty.
Of course I’m referring to Supernatural
The X Files was amazing
I was just watching Pee-Wee’s big adventure with my kids (mainly my daughter, son is 4 and a buffoon) and was thinking shit, I need to show her that twilight zone movie, with John Lithgow on the plane, the old man kicking the can, and then the kid holding his family hostage.
That’s a great movie! I haven’t really started showing my daughter (9) scary movies yet. I was terrified of spiders for like a decade after seeing Arachnophobia as a kid, and those Scary Stories books gave me nightmares for years, so I’m reluctant to expose her to media that might trigger something like that for her. Tough to know when it’s the right time—or at least, that’s been my experience.
I started watching horror movies when I was 12. I think that’s a pretty good age. Look at me, I turned out mentally ill and ADHD!
That was William Shatner on the plane. He actually starred in a number of good episodes.
Yeah, I was referring specifically to the movie. The original was Shatner and a classic for sure.
Ah, I missed that you said “movie.”
I do talk fast in real life, so maybe my comments read faster in people’s minds.
The Twilight Zone episode was Shatner, the Twilight Zone movie was Lithgow. Both are great and worth a watch
(It’s because they’re women)
women aren’t family ; they are posessions
gasp!!!
MAGAots:
SEE? EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN! NOT A WOKE ASPECT IN SIGHT!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS MATTER!
The re-release fixed the woman problem
I just want to see the featureless Rumpus Room fading off infinitely into an eternal void.
Spicy/gross take: The woman are still in the picture, but under the table.
:(
saudi arabia approves this approach
No misogyny if no women 💯
Rest assured, the women are still in the kitchen. it’s just behind a wall now so they don’t bother the men.
Can’t misrepresent women if you don’t represent them. Taps forehead.
Real “I can’t be racist towards a race that no longer exists” energy.
Exactly. Women wouldn’t and shouldn’t enjoy this man’s game. /s
The scary part is, that for them “everyone” is having fun. Because women are usually not included in their everyone.
If course not, “everyone” refers to people, not things.
“Women have fun in the kitchen, where they belong!”
Fun for half the family! while your wife and daughter watch from the kitchen where they belong
We can’t allow the Feeemaaales to learn the art of war.
Yup it was a vicarious experience for da women folk.
It just occurred to me that I’ve never played any sort of war game with someone sporting ovaries.
If I’m brave enough to do this, does it make me a cultural ambassador of some sort?
In the last frame there is a thing that looks like a post it note or a paper stuck to the wall which we don’t see in the previous two frames - and they’re all supposed to be the same image, only zoomed in. It’s too blurry to be read but it appears to have something written on it, any clues as to what that is?
In the before-times people would purchase objects that were displayed on “shelves”. They would pick the object up and carry it to a “cashier” who would then look at a small sticker called a “price tag” on the item, and charge the customer that amount.
It would have been quite the sight.
Still, it’s weird that the zoomed-in image came from a different copy of the game than the other two. (Or that they took off the sticker before taking another photo, and then didn’t use that new photo for the zoomed-in image.)
I feel like the “ai” upscaling comment is probably right. The women in the last frame have a lot more detail and contrast, in addition to a partially illegible price tag that wasn’t there before.
Like, it could be from a different photo, but why would the creator go find a whole different picture when they had one right in front of them?
I agree with you guys. I just thought it was funny.
Maybe they had to use a different, larger, pic to get anything recognizable? It’s an internet mystery.
It could be that the O OP had the tiny kitchen photo first like their sister texted them 'look wtf is on this old game box" and then they just Googled the second larger photo of a game box for context
That’s definitely possible. Good thinking
We shall never know lol.
You got the 'membering
Is that like the Shine?
Different movie
What if, like, it’s all connected, man
Truetrue
You mean the price tag?
Right, thanks! But why is it not present in the previous ones?
It looks like its a different picture taken with a different camera. If it was just zoomed in it would be very blurry. For whatever reason they took a picture of a different box, or got images from multiple sources to make this meme.
Seems like an MRP sticker of the game, 6 dollars or something
Maybe a calendar?
It’s a price tag from Woolco. It looks like it cost $6.xx
Looking at the fringes between colors, the last panel looks upscaled to me. Maybe the AI invented a price sticker?
I had this box & I always thought it was weird the sister didn’t want play.
I want to believe they already played and lost and therefore have to do the dishes, while the other two fight for rank 1 in the tournament. But it’s not exactly easy to believe this 😖
Can I share this in [email protected] it’s right up our street
OK but those dishes better be done before you do.
/s also it’s not oc so it’s definitely fair game for stealing/crossposting
Fuck you for making me laugh at this.
Haha thanks 😊
Only if you pay OP royalties per click
Red circle.
You might be color blind
If you don’t see the (very much red) circle as red, then you might want to get your eyes checked.
Lol true. I did completely miss it.
Well, that’s on me and my smartass dumb brain.I’m leaving the comment, as a reminder to myself.
Red. Circle.
Lmao i done fucked up.
