This is so clever and I love it, but for pedantry's sake, he was tangy and brown in s1e3 and yellow by s1e4.

Wikipedia says both that it was an error by a colorist and that a decision was made that gay and black was a bit too much for a sycophantic character.

Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

You forgot to lick the cheese dust off your fingers first.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't forget I just didn't wanna.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Saving it for later, right?

lol the downvotes

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

lol the insecurity

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh hmm, are downvotes not shared between lemmy and kbin? I don't see any.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have an account on Kbin and no, you don't usually see downvotes. But I don't see that as a bad thing actually. Your comments in this thread didn't get any downvote, by the way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be more specific, kbin doesn't federate downvotes, or at least doesn't import downvotes from outside an instance. Not sure if it sends any downvotes generated here back out, but any downvotes you see here are from other kbin.social users

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good to know, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

you don’t usually see downvotes ... didn’t get any downvote

A bummer on both accounts. Thanks for the info!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's unexpe Ted until you learn about it. Lemmy doesn't share votes between instances.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe a bunch of irate tankie bots? Heck I dunno. It's obviously just a silly riff on Comic Book Guy and not even spicy at that. But now (-77) there's apparently 77 people who "disagree" with it?

Again, and not out of insecurity (thanks null) but just out of amusement that so many would care - lol. They're probalby looking for VRYSRSSimpsonsshitposting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not obvious that it's a riff on Comic Book Guy and just comes off as rude. Was there ever a scene where he had cheese dust on his fingers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, seriously? He’s - always eating junk food and correcting people? That’s not - you’re saying 77 denizens of SIMPSONSshitposting are unaware of these characteristics of Comic Book Guy?

Goddamn. Ok.

Here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, I'm sure they're all aware, but mentioning cheese dust on fingers alone isn't a characteristic that automatically brings him to mind. If that is cheese dust in the gif, I'm not familiar with a kind that's eaten out of a pan. Something like "Better hurry that pedantry up, your breakfast burrito is congealing rapidly" might work.

Regardless, the person your comment was directed at didn't seem to take it the wrong way, so no harm, no foul.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Okay so: I’m a Simpsons character and I’m going to lick cheese dust off my fingers and the correct someone - Who Am I?

Anyone? Beuller? No? Okay. I mean, I thought it was obvious. (Nacho cheese in the gif, or a Squishee, or a Krustyburger if that’s relevant but none were as funny as cheeto dust)

And yeah the OP was supposed to enjoy it, which I also thought they did, which is another reason it’s so bizarre to have almost 85 downvotes for it now. Worst. Comment thread. Ever.

(Uh, it’s not really the worst comment thread ever, that’s, yknow, also a Comic Book Guy, uh, thing. Just - in case anyone’s not - eh, whatever)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was obvious.

It wasn't, so I'm pretty sure perceived rudeness is the reason for the downvotes. No matter, there's no karma here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I dunno, I disagree. Like, a couple of people - ok that's statistically inevitable, but almost 100? That's . . . too many.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno, it just shows "-45" on my cheese dust joke.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's a lot of folks presuming bad faith. I've barely seen -5 on my spiciest takes.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now if you’re Judge Snyder, the whole thing is flipflopped.

[–] anarchrist 10 points 1 year ago

What about his ~~dog~~ son?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, Smithers is gay?!?!?!?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Oh no, should've spoiler tagged it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The "real deal" with Waylon Smithers is that he's Mr. Burns' assistant. He's in his early 40's, is unmarried, and currently resides in Springfield
