Linus has gone too far

I've followed LTT for years now. I was willing to look the other way when he shilled for Intel then nVidia and then AMD. Through incredible mental gymnastics, I justified his cruel reviews that crushed innocent mom and pop companies. And even though everything Steve said was indisputably, factually accurate, I persisted.

 

But now... Last Action Hero is the best spoof movie? I trusted you, bro...

 

Last Action Hero isn't even the best action movie spoof. That's Hot Shots Part Deux.

 

But the best spoof movie of all time is clearly Spaceballs or the Naked Gun series.

 

May God have mercy on your soul.

Nah the best spoof is Dude Bro Party Massacre III

Its basically Scary Movie but not trying to be edgy or overly raunchy and full of dated refrences and plagued by bad sequels (up to 2 it was fine but 3 through 5 killed it)

 

Or if you count it as a spoof (which I do) it's obviously White Chicks which hits multiple genres with one weird roller coster of a movie

 

For action though its 100% Hot Shots (I prefer the OG one but Part Deux is also pretty good even tho it has charlie sheen)

What if YOU were cake all along?

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

Love Shawn of the Dead but hot fuzz and worlds end aint for me 

SotD alone tho if pushing for the top spot on its own but the other 2 keep it down imho

 

While on horror spoof tho, what about cabin in the woods? Do we count it cause it sorta makes fun of horror tropes or do we leave it cause its also a deconstruction rather than straight up mockery

What if YOU were cake all along?

Not a huge fan of horror, but Tucker and Dale Versus Evil is a great spoof of that space.

Nope.

 

Airplane! was a spoof (and nearly a shot-for-shot remake) of the 1957 movie Zero Hour.

 

Then again I gravitate toward dry humor. 🤷‍♂️

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

Airplane! is fantastic. No question. Picking between some of these movie's is like choosing your favorite child, but if Sophie can do it, so can I.

Linus did Men in Tights dirty - it's hilarious.

W pick for the superhero movie (3rd best movie movie) but nah zoolander isnt a spoof at least of a movie or genre cause it does mock the fashion industry

A spoof movie/show needs to make fun of the movie/show it makes fun of, think austin powers with james bond or obviously spaceballs with star wars, cause in simple terms its a parody of the source material

It's just that those chip companies could do better, especially Nvidia, and I agree with Linus on how AMD is becoming not so good too. He did like Intel with their B series GPUs though.

AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600g w/ Radeon Graphics | 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM | 256GB NVME SSD + 2TB HDD | Amazon Basics 2.0 Speakers

Everything he does at this point is for money and nothing else. It is all that matters to him- which is why he suffers from severe depression.

He has talked about it in videos on more than one occasion. Do a search- also, I have empathy for him. It's often what happens when you sellout your passion for money. 

Videos like?

You made such a claim so now you have to provide evidence for it 

What if YOU were cake all along?
