Looks like the start of a beautiful friendship.
You can fix that in a jiffy.
My old man’s a television repair man: he’s got an ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!
And that’s why they call it a “burnout”.
Yep, that’ll buff right out!
You can’t fix this bike, Spicoli!
Goddamn, who is more irritating?
Bike dude.
Great. ANOTHER Joker origin story.
THAT is one hot bike!
Not cackling portrait dude?
Laughing humorlessly with the intent of further humiliating
bike dude.
I’m not saying he’s not irritating, but that bike dude has him beat by a significant margin (you did ask “who is more” not “who is or isn’t” irritating), and that if that irritating behavior is being aimed at bike dude, as it seems to be, it’s pretty fully well earned.
If there is a God, more of this sort of thing, please. And if you could see your way to igniting Boris Johnson’s pants at some critical part of his speech tomorrow in the House of Commons, that would be just peachy. Amen.
I just caught myself wondering what it would feel like, if the word “gentleman” stopped being used in any other way besides as a synonym for “asshole”. Like how “literally” now means “figuratively” in common parlance.
Turns out, thats not a problem for me. The Patriarchy will not be missed (by anyone who matters)
I have to laugh. Many years ago, I tried my almost-never fail “scene one, scene two” schtick on a co-worker who was telling us about the new sound system he himself (an electrical engineer) had just installed in his almost brand new Porsche.
Scene 1: "You, powering up your cool sound system for the first time, and saying, “Bitchin’!”
Scene 2: Your ride, completely engulfed in flames.
Others laughed, but he just gave me a dirty look. It didn’t bother me at all.
A Phoenix… rising!
Bike dude.
Nope. Bike dude, by orders of magnitude. Cackling dude is obnoxious only to the bike dude at that moment; the bike dude is obnoxious to everyone in the whole damn neighborhood (and probably on a consistent basis), probably along with every place he goes.
Some (not me!) might say “the person handling the cellphone”.
It appears this was a pissing contest (check out the “under-sized” guy on the left at the start of the clip).
Fire-guy’s may have been bigger, but it blew way too early…
