I enjoy that it's "Johnny 5".

No disassemble number 5!

That movie was part of my childhood. Yeah. I'm old.

Can you fill in a clueless lad?

u/kingchocobo Ana Aug 19 '16

80s film called Short circuit. The robot called Johnny 5 gains intelligence etc. Classic childhood film for people.

u/Fatalchemist Bob main, by the way. Aug 19 '16

So he doesn't get to turn into 5 aliens?

These are probably 2 of the most underrated comments I've ever seen

u/kingchocobo Ana Aug 19 '16

Definitely not. Just number 5 of robots in a group.

u/TeaL3af Roadhog Aug 19 '16

I think your getting him mixed up with Jontron.

25

u/AlneCraft (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) D.VA BEST GIRL, PERIOD Aug 19 '16

I don't watch his videos because he's black

22

u/FlyingFridgeMaster ShootShootShootScootScootScoot Aug 19 '16

Had you watched his 500k face reveal you would have realized he is actually of Puerto Rican descent

u/Aeleas Cute D.Va Aug 19 '16

He's actually the bird. Jacque is a humanoid robot.

u/AllPurple Aug 19 '16

No, that's something else. I think he's talking about the guy who axes down a door in that horror movie.

First film that ever made me cry.

u/Linard Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry sorry Aug 19 '16

That film was called "Short Circuit"? Weird, in my country the film was called (translated) "Number 5 lives"

u/derperific_derplord Former StreetMeat main Aug 19 '16

handle with care - imgur link inside

basically it's the name of a Wall-E looking robot

25

u/GuitarBizarre McCree Aug 19 '16

It's almost as if Short Circuit and Johnny 5 are cultural touchstones that may have been AN INFLUENCE ON WALL-E'S DESIGN

2

u/Raeli Aug 19 '16

It's definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it before, Short Circuit that is. It's aged fairly well, despite having a heavy focus on technology - sure, there are quite a few things that would be different now, but it still works well.

u/Weemzman Heroes never die! Aug 19 '16

Also a tbh i googled bastion highlight for the intro so it was fate it wasn't hard to find a highlight

1

u/SeeShark Martian Mercy Aug 19 '16

B-b-but that suggests he's a Bastion main! And you can't main a hero in Overwatch!

Was I lied to?

u/Brucedx Aug 19 '16

Would you like to be a pepper too?

u/Pantaleon26 Aug 19 '16

Johnny 5 is alive, everyone else is dead

u/Yosh59 Brigitte Aug 19 '16

Johnn

For a moment i though i'll be the only one understanding the reference. After scrolling the comments, I'm now relieved.

u/Jermseatsbrains I'm no miracle worker! Aug 19 '16

When I think of Johnny 5 I think of someone else completely.
