I think in this case, that's actually the joke. Humor often is derived from subverting expectations rather than catering to them, which can be cringe.
I also definitely know a few couples this meme would actually apply to as written, so it does exist. But i also don't think that plainly stating normal expectations is particularly funny.
I've watched this series several times, and i think a lot of what you are saying is fair, but i think you miss the point a bit on Barney. The entire show is a framed story of Ted retelling things that happened decades earlier. The way the show is written, Ted is making it seem like Barney behaves over the top, either to fit his narrative or simply because that's how he remembers it.
One of the reasons it's funny is because a lot of people know "that one guy or girl" who behaves that way, but then when you tell stories about that person you make it even more wild.
Lily does suck though, and I'm surprised she's still friends with anyone
Yeah the crux of the issue here is whether or not they're actually a relative, and if I'm expecting them.
Show up unexpected at 2am? I'm probably not opening the door for safety reasons. If it's expected company but they're just late, I'll let them in.
I think they're saying this:
Family meals would comprise of three restaurants worth of people since they're all immortal
Separately, you can never retire since you will never hit retirement age
You know, that's the first thing that caught my attention, and it's actually kind of bothering me. I now want to pronounce it "ootopian" to make it work, but it's just so wrong.
Not going to lie to you, this is exactly what i did :)
It's from God emperor of dune, i think it's the fourth book in the series by publication, but not chronologically.
I guess this might be a spoiler if they eventually make it a movie, but basically, the son of Paul merges himself with a sand worm and becomes effectively immortal. It's both interesting and bizarre.
There's a lot more to it than that but i don't want to ruin the story for anyone
No one who speaks German could be an evil man!
That's interesting, guess i wasn't tracking that closely enough. Thank you!
Ah, wasn't aware, thanks!
I thought it was India and South Africa, not Iran and Saudi Arabia
I was thinking this as well, add in some bands (album suggestions in parens) like epica (holographic principle), kamelot (epica/black halo), Symphony x (divine wings of tragedy), and even a band like battle beast (circus of doom) or unleash the archers (apex) and i think op will have a good time
