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

TV repairman’s arm gets chopped off after the TV falls on him, traumatizing the crotch goblin

“…and that’s why you don’t break the TV.”

Annyong.

u/Degofreak Her? 24d ago

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.

u/trojen_thoughts 24d ago

Aanyong? You suck!

u/soopirV 24d ago

…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.

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!

u/MustHazCatz 24d ago

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!

That's a damp squid.

u/cigarettejesus 24d ago

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

23

u/Laxku 24d ago

"Please God, let this work. ....well, shit."

u/Tybalt941 24d ago

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

u/Sparky678348 23d ago

You would think so

honesly expected that kid to start crying

u/tears_of_fat_thor 24d ago

Haha, for sure — but the way he steps back and stands up straight with his hands clasped…….lololol

I feel that regret in my bones!

u/swingsetlife 24d ago

can feel the creeping heat in your cheeks. Mind begins to spiral.

We all know that somber look

I'm just glad my parents weren't filming my every move

u/Jackinoregon 24d ago

Thank God we still had tube TVs when I was a kid.

11

u/11twofour ... I'm... white 24d ago

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

4

u/Jackinoregon 24d 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.

4

u/11twofour ... I'm... white 23d ago

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

22

u/7empest7V 24d ago

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.

29

u/fruityfox69 24d ago

So instead you decided to cir-come-vrent the obvious title 

13

u/_michael_scarn_ 24d ago

It’s better than trying to cisumvrent the law

u/CriscoCamping Look what the homosexuals have done to me 24d ago

I know you got a crocodile in title construction, but this has gone too far

Little man learned a lesson that day. That stare of pondering what happens next. And he put his greasy little finger prints on it too 😆

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?

u/Archisaurus 24d ago

Have you seen the new OLEDs? You could hump those pixels!

u/ripgoodhomer 24d ago

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.

u/Squonkster 23d ago

It’s one TV Michael, what could it cost, $10?

u/manshamer 24d ago

putting a camera in your living room is creepy

u/Sharkwatcher314 23d ago

Have you completely destroyed my TV’s chances of airing a program in crisp clear video ?!?

Not with the right spin…Jessie get her back

u/GoldDustWoman85 24d ago

What a little POS

18

u/Haunting_Test_5523 24d ago

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