It's a good holiday destination

If you get blamed for something you didn't do, don't stand up for yourself unless you can prove it wasn't you or else people won't believe you

Straight people are evil

Uhm... men are disloyal? Wait... women are uptight and demanding. I'm confused - what meaning am I supposed to get in the first place? What if it's all ONE BIG MISINTERPRETATION

Yeah, I hate it when people can't understand the message, especially when it's really obvious! It's like no, just stop for a moment and think about what you've just seen! It's so completely obvious what the meaning is, and everybody else seems to get it but them, but no, they keep going on, oblivious to how dumb it makes them seem. Like, how do you even deal with a person like that?

Like, this one time, I watched The Lion King with some people, and one person was adamant that it was supposed to be a retelling of Hamlet, of all things. Well, this couldn't be further from the truth, and should be completely obvious to everybody. I just had no idea how to handle that situation.

Not speaking is the key to getting friends on Facebook.

There is no god because a god granted our wish for there to be no god. That god still exists and has all the powers of a god, but logically there is no god.

Magic destroys the world. Let's build CO2-emitting contraptions as our solution to save it.

Wet dreams will cause your lover to die and then leave you.

Being an angry asshole will allow you to have sex with the most powerful woman alive.

Being sad that that wet dream you had was retconned is the secret to maturity.

The secret to being a good leader is to slay a giant sand demon.

Should be a neat rebuttal. The rest of the video's interesting too.

Only an obnoxious assclown can save the world so he can get over his daddy issues

Space Travel is BAD!Stay home or people will murder your entire race

If you have to follow an asshole or a supportive leader, follow the asshole. The guy you think is your friend and who will condone your inter-faith marriage is working with the mafia

If something looks like an incredibly bad idea, do it! You probably won't end up horribly dead or insane like everyone else around you!

Performing terrorist acts can save the world if you mean well

Is your girlfriend dying? Making a deal with a demon to murder all the incredibly unique and mostly non-threatening creatures in the area is totally worth it to save her

Tis an age old question. Was the Lion King ripped off of Hamlet, or ripped off of the Mali legend of Sundiata?

Trick question, it was ripped off of Kimba The White Lion

Song of Saya is a subtle anti-drug PSA. Fujimori's hallucinations is real life when the drugs wear off, and Saya is homemade meta, which makes him feel pleasure comparable to sex. That's why he can't stand to be away from her, becomes all reclusive, screams at his friends, kills neighbors, eats people (you know, what usually drug addicts do)

Cross-dressing women can turn gay men straight


If there's a serious crime in town and you have some essential evidence to solve the case, don't share it with the police no matter what.


Fighting symbolic shadow monsters with weapons and magic is the best way to help your friends come to terms with their inner-demons


If you have years of combat training and the latest in military-grade combat gear, you cannot hope to win a fight against an unarmed civilian who has a PHD.


Do everyone a favor and set yourself on fire.


When the odds are stacked against you, set everything on fire

The darkness sucks. Make everything bright.

The light sucks. Makes everything dark.

TV included. Why? Because I can.

The planet is a dick, mental illness is cool, and it's totally fine to have mommy issues.
Men get more childish with age.
Recruiting child soldiers is a good idea.
Robot AI can't possibly backfire.
Let your kid play with that stranger/strange animal. It'll all work out in the end
Assassins are honourable people.

Wait, what? That's part of the actual themes of the game? Let me try again:

Surrounding yourself with women for hire makes you invisible.

And for bonus points:

A woman in any prominent or important role will always be less believable than time-traveling ancient aliens.
It's not your deeds in life that matter as long as you recant on your death bed.
It pays to stay close to your old crew.
Don't fuck with Kinzie.

Oh, there's no joke here. Seriously, don't fuck with Kinzie.
If you're suffering in Hell, it's because you weren't evil enough.
Time tra...you know what? They change the moral of the story of Terminator so often that virtually anything I could say here is probably the moral of at least one piece of Terminator media. So I'm just going to type random words and hope. Asynchronous gophers operate honey jackhammers to elevate lunar artillery.

There. That was still more coherent than the overall arc of Terminator products.
Nothing you do matters, because oen day, we will all be ruled by apes.
