I now disagree with that post that went something like “to make high schoolers laugh post pandemic you have to kill someone” because when I was clocking out of work today I overheard my coworkers, two high school boys, joking around. One said “hey bro…literally me when im making pizza…” He was in fact making a pizza, that’s our job. They both laughed like beavis and butthead and repeated it a few times.
This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.
Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”
ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m
can we have some context to this, perhaps?
Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.
Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.
That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.
(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)
its very funny when dnd guys see something they dont like and theyre like gary gygax wouldnt stand for this. like. yeah he would lol. every piece ofg GM advice he ever wrote was like ‘full-time embody The Joker. gaslight your players. verbally bully everyone you know. youre allowed to shoot any players that piss you off with a full bore shotgun. if it even looks like anyone is having fun at any time flip the table over and set it on fire and set off the sarin gas charges’
average dm-player relationship implied in any module designed by gary gygax
