If you've never seen Fritz the Cat drop your d-ck and go see it RIGHT NOW.

It is basic American cultural literacy.

Jesus f-ck, what do you people do up there?

the comments tell me two things:
1. There are a LOT of layers to this and ways to interpret
2. I will never understand it. Is he making a point? Is he making fun of making a point? Etc.
 

jfc I can't believe this isn't getting more press:

The President’s nominee for a top Pentagon job boosted calls for martial law on Wednesday.


And that’s just one piece of the off-the-walls social media presence of Scott O’Grady, Trump’s nominee to become assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, CNN reported. O’Grady’s nomination was sent to the Senate on Monday.

O’Grady also retweeted numerous false claims that Trump had in fact won a second term in office, by a landslide, and described Joe Biden’s winning the presidency as a “coup” attempt carried out in coordination with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to CNN’s review.

The Pentagon nominee, if confirmed, would serve through the end of Trump’s presidency.

On Wednesday, O’Grady retweeted an article about Michael Flynn’s call for martial law in light of the election results. Then, he retweeted another message from the same account that had shared the article, CNN found.

“I don’t know who needs to hear this,” read the message that O’Grady retweeted. “But calling for martial law is not a bad idea when there is an attempted coup against the president and this country happening right now.”

Just see it and remind yourself as you are watching that it's 1972 and we've not yet disappeared up our own as-shole trying to out-critical theory each other. The rot has not yet set in.

It doesn't mean anything except what it is -- a gloriously fun, bizarre piece of subversive entertainment.

I'm not gonna even mention the crows.

Jive talkin' crows will never not be weird.

Also weird... how using said jive talking crows as a "beaten over the head with a shoe" racist cliché happened for over 30 years in animated film...

"da," rufus.

Where da white birds at?

I really hope this one is not new to you:

Back in the 70s, when Harvard first started allowing others besides white male prep schoolers, the very first ever freshman from Alabama was walking across campus and stopped a senior to ask for directions:


Yokel: Hey man, can you tell me where da lie-barry is at?
Senior: Young man, here at Harvard, we simply does not end our sentences with prepositions.
Yokel:<thinks for a moment> Ok, then can you tell me where the library is at, *******?

(rhymes with flagpole, and yes, I first heard a racist version)

I've heard at least 70 permutations of this. It's like the "they teach us not to pee on our hands" joke. Absolutely portable.
