I guess I just like the posts that are all-inclusive more than the inside ones. Even if I get the inside ones, I still like the ones that are more universally relatable better. They spawn better jokes, in my opinion.
I’m not sure anything is universal. There will always be someone who doesn’t get it. Harry Potter is pretty widely known – most people have either read the books or at least seen the movies.
It’s Harry Potter, hardly anything only an “insider” knows. If you haven’t even heard vague references to the topics mentioned in the post, I imagine you have a very nice rock you’ve been living under.
I guess I don’t mean “inside joke”. But in all reality I know a fair amount of people and most of them (like me) have never read/seen Harry Potter stuff. It’s no big deal, I’m used to being the dude under the rock.
For the longest time I didn’t understand <3 and all the references but didn't feel the need to whine (insert reference to Black Adder or any other obscure British comedy here)Your lack of HP knowledge makes me want to show you the Rabbits
I wasn’t whining, dude. I was just saying this shit is boring.
My original intent above was to ask if there was something other than just HP in these posts, like a sub-level of humor I didn’t know about. Turns out there isn’t. Question answered.
Have you heard that Rowling wants to publish two of the books as “Director’s Cuts”? You know what that means—an extra 100 pages of drival. The earlier books were much better, but then she got BIG and no one was allowed to edit her. I hate diva authors.
Huh, that’s interesting. No, hadn’t heard, but just checked out the story. I don’t remember there being anything particularly wrong with the later books – except for the final “20 years later” wrap up ending, which was kind of silly – but then I just read them for entertainment and probably didn’t think about them too deeply!
Could that one, and the rail to the side, be grab rails? They are all over my house because my daughter needs them to let her stand up. The rounded rail corners and the chunky bits that screw to the wall look like my grab rails. Incidentally if you have a grab rail in the bathroom keep away from it when you reach down to pick up a towel. You could end up with concussion. Don’t ask me how I know this.

It was funnier as scrawled on the wall of a public toilet in Helsinki. I had no idea it was such a popular joke.

No calling out in the forums.

Well I’m glad someone was here to keep ordure. It’s so uncomfortable watching people dook it out on the Internet.

Can I get one that says “PhotoShop” in place of “ministry of magic”, please?

Hmm…I wonder if I should get that decal for my van.
October 2, 2012 at 2:17 pm
I never get into these kinds of posts. Is it just because I don’t know about Harry Potter and wizards n’ shit?
October 2, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Oh, well, you might know shit, just not Harry Potter

If there’s anything universal in this world, it’s toilet humor.

Harry Potter is pretty universal. Anything that spawns that much fanfic already has moved beyond “inside joke”.
October 2, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Yeah, that Harry Potter stuff is pretty obscure. I never even heard of it.

I think my rock is right next to yours, Matt.
Though I have read enough godawful fanfic of it to get the general gist.

October 2, 2012 at 7:13 pm
Don’t feel bad, Matt. I’ve seen every Harry Potter movie that’s come out on DVD, and I still don’t get most of the references.
October 2, 2012 at 7:18 pm
I can respect that too, not everyone has to like everything.
Personally I think the books are great, but the movies – not as much. Matt if you ever start with HP, I’d start with the books!

I’ve seen a few of them, but don’t get the reference. I end up sitting here trying to figure out what word is misspelled. Then i feel even more dumb!

After night of cheap beer and cheap taco bell, it ain’t magic. It’s more like a demon’s curse from Satan himself.
October 2, 2012 at 2:30 pm
There’s expensive Taco Bell?
October 2, 2012 at 2:37 pm
I think it’s Taceau Belle. Mexican with a French twist.
October 2, 2012 at 3:22 pm
All restaurants are Taco Bell. They won the franchise wars.

Is that why I can’t get a handjob at Starbucks anymore?

Stay classy, Potter fans.
A part of me wants to see a wide-eyed kid who just saw the movies to give it a whirl.
(hurr hurr.)
October 2, 2012 at 11:54 pm
You mean like the all kids that flushed their poor fishies after “Nemo” to set them free?
October 2, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Ah yes from the eternally classey Harry Potty series.

I also perform the black magic they speak of. I can make black ectoplasm appear as if it’s coming right out my ass! Black magic!

I think I remember this from the first book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Throne”.
