Were they female? 'Cause you know, when you get in bed with four bitches...

Like radioactive rubber pants?

The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don't see how anyone could find that line funny.

I mean, I'm a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they're crafted, even if I don't tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)

But I just don't see the joke here.

Hey, no making fun of 256-man phalanges, those things can successfully defend against a tank.

It plays a sound that says, and displays a popup which reads: "Please do not press this button again. Thank you."

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

I love Bakshi's LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it's so epic!

Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.

I think we have something contemporary to compare this sci-fi scenario with: recorded vs. live music (especially now that we can keep making exact digital duplicates as nauseam.)

When you play a CD, it sounds the same each time (ignoring things like the equipment you're playing through, the room, the ambient noise, etc.). Usually, the studio recording is the best, most pristine recording of a song you can get.

But when you see the original artist performing the song live, it's different! A good performer will make you feel like you're experiencing something special. And the little variations, and even, imperfections, make the song even more compelling!

It's the CD recording of the song bad? No. It's perfectly serviceable. It might even contain things that can't be performed live. But it's the same each time. And for some people, that makes it less desirable, and live performances, with all their deviations and mistakes become more desirable.

And going back to replicated food, apart from Eddington and grandpa Sisko, I don't remember anyone else saying replicated food was bad. Just less desirable. And even Eddington grudgingly admitted that the TV dîner he was eating in the shuttle with Sisko wasn't that bad.

It's harder to draw attention to yourself when you've got no arms to wave.

The term you're looking for is "uncanny valley"
