Hot Fuzz is not a spoof. It is a masterful comedic homage that uses trope references that are believable in-universe.

This is the truest criminal behavior.

Get yer acts in gear, you stupid capitalists! What the hell is wrong with you? Just spend some money and get this log jam corrected.

Nicely put.  I have it happening in my maternal extended family (one of my 1st cousins and her family).

And putting that sign at the very beginning, boldly and unmistakable, could have been the only ‘comedy’ needed for the entire exhibit (I presume as I haven’t actually seen the exhibit) and could have been much better for it because of the restraint and frank honesty.

See also Catherine Cohen’s recent Netflix special. She’s amazing.

I’m 100% on board with making all political parties constitutionally prohibited, so you’ll get no traction with me on your hot take.

You’re correct.  Thanks for keeping me honest, random internet person.

My 8th grader (last day today) is already at the protoplasm stage of this behavior. I’m happy to have him (and his 9th & 7th grade brothers) in a good public school district in a diverse well educated community in a major metro.

You’re welcome.

meh. There’s infinitely, in my opinion, more value in this video than the existence of that sacrificial 1959 monstrosity.

Agreed. Plus for those lamenting the destruction of the 1959 car...meh...there are still thousands out there to buy. Plus, objectively, the 1959 is an aesthetic nightmare. All the car designers at the time was cooked out of their minds on legal meth.

Also see ‘professional’ critics such as on AVClub.  The site’s review of the Coen Brothers’ Ladykillers was glowingly positive, but that movie is a trainwreck and not good.

Once in full retirement income mode (he’s very comfortable in retirement) in 2013, my dad started with a nice used 2007 S5 convertible with the supercharged V8 and 6sp manual. That thing was a screamer.

I recent coworker had her daughter go through this exact scene this past school year.

It’s not punk to announce you’re punk.

My now 80 yr old dad did the same with cars, but his wardrobe is still catching up.  He loves his 2019 Audi S5 convertible.
