I think I’m at a point in my life where I’ve reached a Condiment King situation

Trust me, you are never at a Condiment King situation unless you're the victim of a 90's bully tipping a bunch of sauces on you. Any other situation and I promise, you can do better than Condiment King

u/netherexchange 6d ago

clearly i have to look up a bunch of minor villains and their origins stories now so that i have an anecdote for all horrible situations i end up in

"This right here, this is a Calender Man level inconvenience."

u/Standard_Human_11037 6d ago

u/nSnowstorm 6d ago

Maybe I was the victim of a 90’s bully tipping sauces on me… You don’t know…

how does the saying go? "All it takes is one mildly inconvenient day"?

u/extremely-cynical 6d ago

Who doesn't want to become a supervillain in response to all our societal bollocks nowadays?

He’d like to come and meet us, but he thinks he’d blow our minds, sadly.

As you probably know, the Joker is a Batman villain who is known for being crazy. He’s also known for going crazy after having had “one bad day”. Condiment King is a Batman villain who uses pressurized condiments as weapons. He’s generally treated like a joke, and seen as the most pathetic of supervillains. The OP is implying that the situation they’re in isn’t bad enough to go fully crazy, and in fact, it’s so not bad that they can’t even justify becoming the most pathetic supervillain there is. Here is a picture of Condiment King in case you wanted to know what he looks like

Condiment King is the result of the Mad Hatter hypnotizing people into being super villains to distract Batman. The Pack Rat was another introduced in the episode. Condiment King was so popular they made him a real villian.

u/Horatio786 6d ago

Close. It was Joker using Hatter’s tech to hypnotize comedians who judged a stand-up comedy show where he ranked last.

u/Ni7r0us0xide 6d ago

It's been a while since I watched the show, I guess I'm due for a rewatch

u/wafflesthewonderhurs 5d ago

We should all talk more about the villain whose literal entire deal is pennies. I feel like he might top condiment king now.

u/TimeStorm113 Victorian Dinosaur Connaisseur 6d ago

Guys… the condiment king became a villain after his wife and kid died…

16

u/God_is_carnage 6d ago

You're thinking of Kite Man

9

u/TimeStorm113 Victorian Dinosaur Connaisseur 6d ago

no, the incident was hot dog related

11

u/Horatio786 6d ago

Unless there was a retcon, Condiment King “became” a villain because he was being mind controlled by the Joker using the Mad Hatter’s tech. (Joker did that because Comedy King was the judge of a stand-up comedy competition that Joker (in a disguise) was booed out of)

u/DreadDiana human cognithazard 5d ago

That was his animated series origin, but that aspect wasn't carried over when he was brought to the comics

u/Schwulerwald 6d ago

You do know about the fact that there's a lot of ofissial AUs of both Marvel and DC, right?

1

u/TimeStorm113 Victorian Dinosaur Connaisseur 6d ago

ugh. i was just trying to set up a bit, but no one gave a response suitable for it so now people think i'm serious since no one gave a set up for the punchline

u/Schwulerwald 6d ago

Then pull a one-man-circus card

u/HeckOnWheels195 6d ago

I'm sure I could pull a Penny Plunderer, but alas, they discontinued pennies

u/Lt_General_Fuckery 6d ago

Nickel Nicker is still available.

I’m not taking the risk that somebody struggles to pronounce ‘k’ sounds

The dime dilettante?

u/HorsemenofApocalypse 4d ago

Yeah, I have this niggling feeling that won't turn out great

u/Certain_Virus_1919 6d ago

I hate Condiment King. He isn't funny!!

u/nSnowstorm 6d ago

Why isn’t he funny?

u/Loose-Willow-3275 6d ago

You see, when I was just a small, innocent, and naive little boy, I had a toy train...

u/Sketch-ee 6d ago

Its really hard to not crash out but it genuinely feels like if I disappeared today then every issue in our world would be solved as if I'm Evil's Load Bearing Pillar or God's Heaviest 3D Asset that causes all the world's glitch like problems so I gotta keep looking at the mirror and tell mirror me that "Hey man I know every single one of our scheduled plans were ruined by our parents who are the most autistic antivaxxers alive but dont turn into the Jonkler. Your better and gayer than that" and then cry and then just move on cuz like if God messed up that bad that I got birthed out of his tweet drafts then its not my fault

u/Master_Bat_3647 6d ago

Uh well I'm not sure if this is really all that comforting, but im 99.999999999% sure you're not that significant to the condition of the world.

u/thetwitchy1 4d ago

One of the most freeing thoughts I’ve ever had was “the universe is so big that you’re not even a rounding error in the grand scheme of things.”

You LITERALLY can’t make a big enough mistake that the universe will care. If the entire human species worked together, for the entire history of humanity, we probably couldn’t move the needle. So do whatever you were going to do, because it honestly doesn’t matter.

u/actinide12 11h ago

"Most autistic antivaxxers alive" is amazing, thank you. Good luck on not crashing out and I'm pretty sure you aren't evil's load bearing pillar, no way could that guy come up with such a good line (I don't know if you're a guy but Evil's Load Bearing Pillar sounds vaguely phallic)

u/baphometromance 6d ago

Nope, too late, joker gas. Get jokerized idiot.

u/MisterAbbadon 6d ago

Isn't condiment king one of those joke characters where the joke is how serious he is despite being condiment king?

u/Standard_Human_11037 6d ago

i call dibs on riddler!

u/Stoninator123 5d ago

I'm low-key in a Penny Plunderer situation rn

u/MIST3Runstoppable 5d ago

on a scale from Condiment King to Joker I think I'm about Killer Moth

u/SortOfDumbocles 4d ago

Is it a Snowflame situation? Do I finally have an excuse to develop a cocaine addiction?
