Every decent actor & fan of theater pays tribute (or should) to Monty Python (Flying Circus in this case: In Defense Against Fresh Fruits.: https://youtu.be/NqDPsonOLCQ)

They should have included a banana for scale, so we can see how big that gun is.

That's Pierce Hawthorn's brother!

Shit, he is a good actor!

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm easily amused, but not many things make me laugh out loud. This did.

Also, my brother's first cat was named Galois. Would you like me to relay your contact details to him so you can reunite?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

aw shit i got like so many cats i would like to employ your services with

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I can't guarantee that would end well. The first cat I lost, we buried; a bit later, my parents forgot it was there and planted a tomato plant in the spot.

A bit later, cat bones started coming up from the ground unexpectedly.

So I can't promise a pleasant or clean reunion.

they stuck by me when i was bones and skin, i can stick by them when they're bones and bones

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

That's a very sweet comment.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago

Expected a Rickroll, was still worth watching.

Giancarlo Esposito is the embodiment of quiet menace and commitment to character

[–] pipi1234@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

As a native Spanish speaker, I can very much tell you that he had zero commitment to his spanish lines in bb. Apart from that... hats off, he is an excellent actor indeed.

Who the hell finds a random banana outside?

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 6 points 3 hours ago

Bananas tend to grow outside after all.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago

Isn't that where they all come from?

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

It could also mean they found it at a food vendor cart outside the convention center.

[–] tychosmoose@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

To be fair it wasn't a random banana.

It was this specific banana.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)
[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

It is a gun.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Must be the USA, then.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

50/50 chance it was either this one or not.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

what about the edge case where the banana got eaten and all its constituent molecules reincorporated themselves into a new banana to be found in the line for photos with giancarlo esposito because the universe likes a good joke

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That sounds like talk of someone who wouldn't pick up said banana

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

And have my fingerprints all over it? No thanks.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 9 hours ago

At a con like that there are likely a bunch of kids, and kids drop shit all the time.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I want this to be true so bad.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

Unfortunately, it is actually a banana

[–] cRazi_man 54 points 9 hours ago (7 children)

The most unbelievable part is the fact that someone has just found an unattended and unclaimed banana in pristine condition.

[–] EffortlessEffluvium@lemmy.zip 41 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah, I mean that's like finding 10 bucks just lying about!

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 hours ago

The crossover though is pretty common. There's always money in the banana stand.

My wife has, on more than one occasion, picked up and brought home "parking lot bananas" from work.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

My absolute love of bananas and my sheer alarm at taking home fruit that you can seemingly find regularly in parking lots are in conflict.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

If videogames taught me anything, they taught me not to ignore random food I find on the ground.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Make sure she doesn't plug them into any computers; that's a common pentesting technique.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

"Ink is dry. Clicky thing doesn't work. Fail."

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I forgot I had made a comment about pentesting and was briefly quite confused by this notification!

He was awesome in The Residence too if you haven't seen it.

[–] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Also, community. Just a couple episodes but he had a really funny/interesting straight-man energy that he did well

[–] demiguru@fosstodon.org 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

@Stamets This made me genuinely smile. Thank you for sharing 😀

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 hours ago

I try my best
