@ TheMightyMol...	:	(28 February 2021 - 09:39 AM) The US election? rimshot
@ Paladin	:	(28 February 2021 - 09:19 AM) WHICH 2016 clown panic?
@ NotVeryKnightly	:	(28 February 2021 - 07:22 AM) Didn't that come right after the 2016 clown panic? No way to make clowns not disturbing at the time, surely.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:26 AM) The clown guise is supposed to lure kids in, it's no good if it looks sus in one glance.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:15 AM) The new one tries too hard to be unsettling from the start. Curry's look is just a plain old clown, until he very much is not.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:14 AM) And Curry has a far more disturbing look at times than the newbie.
@ Sabrblade	:	(28 February 2021 - 02:22 AM) And the original was a showcase of Tim Curry's delightfulness as an actor. 'Nuff said.
@ unluckiness	:	(27 February 2021 - 10:19 PM) first one was a decent horror flick but the second was a mess plotwise and even the scares were worse
@ tigerhawk	:	(27 February 2021 - 04:57 PM) Never understood the hype for the IT movies, too many floppy zombie chases, They're not in the least unsettling.
@ Maruten	:	(25 February 2021 - 06:00 PM) It's better than the last one!
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(25 February 2021 - 11:30 AM) The new Wizards of the Coast logo looks stupid
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(25 February 2021 - 11:29 AM) It's really rather shocking watching the Investor Day presentation and seeing how much Hasbro actually owns now.
@ -LittleAutob...	:	(25 February 2021 - 10:26 AM) If everyone had COMMON SENSE, then things would maybe go a little better-
@ repowers	:	(24 February 2021 - 05:33 PM) If everyone would just have the exact same opinions as me then we wouldn't have this problem
@ Kalidor	:	(24 February 2021 - 01:49 PM) It just depends on what it is. It is preferable to take it to P&R though. But sometimes current news as it's happening is less restrictive.
@ fourteenwings	:	(24 February 2021 - 12:18 AM) Huh, good point (x3)
@ ▲ndrusi	:	(23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM) Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.
@ fourteenwings	:	(23 February 2021 - 10:56 AM) Is there something about the Shoutbox that just means we get politics taking over the thing at least once a week?
@ wonko the sane?	:	(23 February 2021 - 08:26 AM) At least your government is willing to talk about the collapsing medicare system. In quebec, their ignoring it in favour of talking about language again! Oh, and unconstitutionally denying access to eduction.
@ Shockwave 75	:	(23 February 2021 - 07:52 AM) At least here in my home province of Ontario we have a conservative gov't who doesn't want to cuz $$$$, but the argument is that they'll end up paying in medical care anyways for those sick people so why not?
@ Shockwave 75	:	(23 February 2021 - 07:51 AM) We have paid sick leave here in Canada too, but it's not very much and not everyone has it. So we're trying to get the gov't to extend it, and give it to everyone.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:23 AM) The only reason people still go to work despite being sick is because they feel emotionally obliged to serve their employer.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM) Some people abuse the system by somehow getting sick with a different plague every five weeks.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM) Those six weeks are out of the employer's pocket by legal mandate. If you're still sick after those six weeks, the health insurance company takes over the payment.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:19 AM) That's the good thing in Germany - we have legally mandated paid sick days. Six weeks (!) for a single cause (consecutive or recurring, as long as it's the same cause; reinfections long after the fact don't count), Everytime the employee gets sick with a new cause, another six weeks start.
@ tigerhawk	:	(22 February 2021 - 04:48 PM) That's how my family got sick, my brothers a teacher, he has a class for expelled students, they gave full attendance these past few lockdowns out of sheer boredom, they can turn in sick and break isolation and he nor the other staff, who also got sick, couldn't do anything about it.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(22 February 2021 - 03:03 PM) Yeah, pretty sure the only reason people don't stay home when they're sick is that the vast majority of society lives paycheque to paycheque, and they can't afford even one missed day of work.
@ -LittleAutob...	:	(22 February 2021 - 11:27 AM) That's unfortunate... I know masks can be annoying, but I think not being able to breath comfortably for a while is better than actually having the virus and not being able to breath at all. bUt Oh, pEoPLe dOn'T bELiVe ThE dAmN vIrUs Is rEaL
@ wonko the sane?	:	(22 February 2021 - 08:28 AM) Hahahaha! Oh, you're serious. Yeah, no one is going to do that. Far too many are in positions where they simply cannot afford the time off, and most of the rest are the kind who won't wear the mask in a global pandemic, never mind when they alone have the sniffles.
@ Shockwave 75	:	(22 February 2021 - 08:20 AM) I just hope a take-away from this will be for people to stay home when they're sick, and if they have to go out, wear a mask so as not to spread their illness.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(21 February 2021 - 08:25 PM) I think it's mostly the masking that's kept the flu season down so much, and that's unlikely to be kept up for that long. I'm sure there'll be some people who keep wearing masks for years after this, but I suspect a larger number are anticipating people able to toss them once vaccinations are complete.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(21 February 2021 - 05:27 PM) Same in canada. Doctors report it to be basically non-existant. I kinda hope they keep some stuff up after everyone is vaccinated. Like hand sanitizer at store entrances, and actually cleaning the shopping carts.
@ tigerhawk	:	(21 February 2021 - 05:17 PM) On the plus side cold and flu cases are down 80% this winter thanks to lockdowns, or at least that's the case in the UK.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM) This is quite possibly the most miserable i have ever felt.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM) i'll be nice and not bypass the cupcake monkey, but COVID can bleep itself in the bleeping bleeper with a bleeping cactus.
@ tigerhawk	:	(21 February 2021 - 02:39 AM) He only appeared the once in the US comics and got one follow up in the UK comic. He never suffered badass decay like Omega Supreme and the combiners.
@ Rycochet	:	(19 February 2021 - 05:15 PM) Trypticon's debut issues in the marvel comic were the absolute best 'To sell a toy' comics of the book.
@ tigerhawk	:	(19 February 2021 - 03:04 AM) Then the audience goes "This was a stealth Transformers film wannit!"
@ tigerhawk	:	(19 February 2021 - 03:03 AM) Godzilla vs Trypticon, co written by Christina Hobson and Max Borenstein.
@ Bass X0	:	(19 February 2021 - 01:36 AM) I now want G1 Grimlock to transform into Mecha Godzilla.
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(17 February 2021 - 04:23 PM) I preferred Rush when Midway made it.
@ Bass X0	:	(17 February 2021 - 03:13 PM) The best Rush comes from Canada.
@ ▲ndrusi	:	(17 February 2021 - 02:54 PM) In other wonderful and fantastic news, guess whose Kingdom Cheetor and Paleotrex FINALLY arrived today?
@ Bass X0	:	(16 February 2021 - 03:07 PM) yeah, its a good show. watch as much as you can.
@ tigerhawk	:	(16 February 2021 - 04:58 AM) Goodnight Sweethearts turned out to be a gem, I only knew Nicholas Lyndhurst in Only Fools and Horses but never saw this show before.
@ Bass X0	:	(15 February 2021 - 04:07 PM) Then we got Ultra Magnus, Fortress Maximus, Dai Atlas, Megatron, Galvatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Banzai-Tron in Alternity...
@ Sabrblade	:	(15 February 2021 - 12:04 PM) Heh, that new Binaltech comic that Ichikawa wrote for one of the Japanese Generations books even had the other Dinobots make fun of Grimlock for his "Autobot Car" body.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(15 February 2021 - 12:03 PM) They got that rescue bot grimlock that turns into a motorcycle. That's... pretty neat...
@ Otaku	:	(15 February 2021 - 11:35 AM) Just to make Grimlock feel more "wrong", they even highlight how his character just seems ill-suited for a sports car alternate mode in his own backstory. Hindsight is 20/20, so I now wish they'd made a T-rex that transformed into a sportscar. Still probably would have been as much or more of a pain to transform, but at least it'd feel more like Grimlock.
@ Rycochet	:	(13 February 2021 - 04:39 PM) Some Alternators were fine, then you have Grimlock/Wheeljack, with three transformers worth of fiddly and a giant buttflap.

This forum is for serious discussions, sure. However, politics has gotten so serious that if we can't have a little levity in here we're all going to go crazy. And other boards don't need the politics so it's best to keep this stuff in here.

So here's a thread for the funny stuff. Jokes, cartoons, videos, any funny political thing you want to share with your friends. This doesn't mean you can't post it elsewhere. If you have a funny Trump video, you can still post it in the Trump thread. This is just a one stop shop so every little thing won't need its own thread.

For example:

Let's see if we can make this fun.

Thanks for clarifying things like this.

This was pretty funny, the rival camps in Britain taking to the ocean to disparage each other. Though the silliness of it seems a bit far now that a lady's been shot today.

if you can see this, i apologize for the above tweet, i was young and stupid and had nothing of value to say. please support lgbtq rights and listen to women's voices. that's all that really matters now. the right is evil, and should be opposed. thanks.

Its easier for Nicki Minaj to own two guns in this country than it is for her to own a Grammy. Let that sink in.. pic.twitter.com/6Mgii2g47F

Should Nikki Minaj have a grammy? Isn't her talent more in a...non-singing capacity?

I'm pretty fond of these. There were a lot of great ones in '12 (Bachmann and Herman Cain were particularly funny), but not many this time around.

If you say so (I mean that honestly, I have no idea about her other than she's promoted more as a body more than a talent). Why has she not won Grammy's? It's not like skin color is a barrier there.

Basically, I don't understand the image.

Ah well that makes sense. You see the company that does the Grammy awards are extremely anal about their little statuettes. Everyone signs agreements that they can't be sold and if you even try they automatically get them back. Has come up in the news several times as the estates of deceased winners try to sell them. So a Grammy is almost impossible to buy, those guns take about 45 minutes to get.

As for Nicki she's a quality rapper. Not my cup of tea really, I prefer cerebral stuff like Kendrick Lamar and Run The Jewels over pop rap. But she's been nominated for Grammy Rap Album of the Year twice but lost to a couple of forces of natures - Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly. She was also nominated for best rap song once and best rap performance I think twice but again ran into Kendrick and earlier Otis from Kanye & Jay-Z. So her talent wasn't the problem just the competition.
