Space Farce is the sequel to Spaceballs, but not nearly as funny and the director is a fuckwit (apologies to Mel Brooks)

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

someone made a short-lived sitcom called Space Force that streamed on Netflix. it wasn't very good, and it pains me to say that, because I'm friends with some of the cast members

Jon Notabot's avatar

There's a tragedy in wasting an awesome title on something that crashes on launch - sort of like "Office of the President of the United States" post Jan20, 2025.

Betsy L's avatar

I loved "Space Force." I suppose I just tanked any credibility I have.

Kay-El's avatar

Nah. We all have our guilty pleasures.

Steph Frye's avatar

We did, too. So sarcastic and funny we thought.

Kimberly Sandwisch's avatar

Agreed. Not my favorite show. But I did enjoy Carrell & Malkovich quite a bit in it!

un poco loco's avatar

It wasn't a classic, but I enjoyed it, especially when the Orange Asshole decided to create his own Space Force. He has no detectable sense of humor, so either he overheard the name and had no idea the TV show existed, or he thought the show was a documentary.

Betsy L's avatar

I think he thinks "YMCA" is about affordable housing.

Teri's avatar

OMG 😂😂😂😂 I thought you were gonna say "I was friends with some of the aliens"!!! 🛸

DR Darke's avatar

I tried watching it because—Steve Carell and John Malkovich in a comedy series about a goofy general tasked to run Space Force? Sign me up!

😮‍💨 🤷‍♂️

I thought I'd heard Obama actually founded Space Force—because he was due to undergo *pon farr*, and needed to return to his native Vulcan before he went berzerk and killed every idiot in Congress. Not that most Americans wouldn't have cheered that part of it, it's just then Trump would yell, "See! SEE! I told you he's not a REAL American!"

...right before Obama shut him up with the Vulcan Death Grip.

I liked the show Space Force ok! It was enjoyable.

Yeah, well, I'm old too. But I don't think we missed anything. Maybe these young whippersnappers don't appreciate John Malkovich?

And it pisses me off that it basically stole the Starfleet insignia.

why do these outfits do it at Xmas? or do we just notice these firings at this time of the year because it's this time of the year?

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

No, it's a deliberate strategy to make you feel worse. My husband was injured on the job early in our marriage (their fault, a permanent injury), I was pregnant, and they fired him the Monday before Thanksgiving. What do I think of employers? They're not nice people. Generally, a criminal class. I will say, when I was dotcomming, it was more fun than I ever had, but they pretty much ran the company into the ground in three years. I worked hard, made a lot of money, and paid for my son's college education. My supervisors and managers and I got along really well, and they were the only honest, appreciative management I ever really met.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

Stock up on your See’s, gummies, alcohol, walking/running away shoes, etc. Same thing happened to one of my kids. Changing the locks so she and the dogs can’t get in. Just kidding, of course. I will relegate her to the laundry room.

SPW's avatar

Is mind masterbation anything like being fuck witted? If so, I’m there for it.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

Oy Vey! My daughter has two dogs, ages 12 and 9, who were here for Thanksgiving and will be here again for Chrismanukkah. One (or both) leaves a pile of 💩 right on my dining room floor! Fun times!

Good for you, Lisa. I retire October next year at age 72 and will be doing everything I haven’t been able to do for 55 years….read, walk the dogs more, make new friends, volunteer a bit. Good luck to you!

Marycat2021's avatar

Yeah, I've found lots of cool old movies to watch on Tubi. It really helps, along with those gummies.

Kimberly Sandwisch's avatar

Great distraction PLUS all the free candy you can eat, I hope?? lol! Yum!😋

shee-rah's avatar

Mmmm, See’s Candy ❤️ I was just in See’s yesterday. The store is next door to my bank, and whenever I go to the bank (not often), I always stop in at See’s.

OMG,OMG,OMG. 4 YEARS OF THIS SHIT. I will be going crazy.

arne link's avatar

I was going to participate in Dry January but I really don't see that happening now...

Paula Dean's avatar

On the contrary, I'll be switching from alcohol to heroin.

(JK, BTW. I actually don't even drink anymore. I can't mix it with my meds)

Or, maybe I'll just go straight to cyanide and skip the slow death.

Teri's avatar

Paula, same. Menopause suddenly made any amount of alcohol give me a splitting headache. I am now at 68 taking Indica gummies to stay sane.

Paula Dean's avatar

I wish those gummies weren't so expensive! I loved how well they worked.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

Oh Paula, why stop at heroin? Give fentanyl a try!

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

No! My husband took what he thought was oxycontin (pain from that work injury) that his best friend gave him (sourced from a street corner) and I came home to find him unconscious on the floor. After the EMTs came and left, I learned what happened, and the moral is: no drugs from criminal best friends that were sourced from street corners. You don't know what it is. Stick to those prescriptions.

Paula Dean's avatar

I am fortunate to have a rare reaction to opiates: instead of a CNS depressant, they have a stimulant effect. It's almost impossible for me to OD. The downside is, I can't take them near bedtime because they keep me wide-awake. I suffer from terrible chronic pain, but can't take pain medication when I need it most. I have to go to bed 12 hours before I want to wake up, and I only get about 6 hours of actual sleep. 🙃

Paula Dean's avatar

PS: my prescription drug coverage does not cover medical Marijuana. Most emphatically not, as I found out when I called Humana.

Paula Dean's avatar

I would love to try fentanyl! But only if it's pharmaceutical grade. I have a feeling it would still have that weird stimulant effect tho

PJ Schuster's avatar

You never know. Consider trying a fentanyl patch, beginning of course with the lowest dosage. It can take 48hrs to build up a staeady state blood level of the active med to begin to get good pain decrease.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Nah....it's overrated. Or switch to gummies and naps.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

Nancy Mace reminds me of the former Intelligence Committee or Michelle Bachman which reminds me of someone that the new administration would pick. I’m from MN so I have been scarred for life, pity me.

Susan Niemann's avatar

YIKES! Michelle Bachman. Hadn't thought about that nut job for awhile. 😂😳

PJ Schuster's avatar

Nancy Mace has serious mental health issues.

Kristy Kanen's avatar

I WISH I could nap . I have had horrible insomnia for more than 10 years , the meds are not working anymore. Alcohol makes it worse, Marijuana helps very slightly.

un poco loco's avatar

CBN is what finally helped me sleep -- it's one of the CBDs that the hemp companies are singling out. It's not psychoactive (like THC is) and helps with pain too. Without it, I probably would be out yelling obscenities at the sky and my asshole neighbors every day... :)

Susan Niemann's avatar

Ahhh... I'm so sorry. Alcohol does interfere with sleep.

PJ Schuster's avatar

I’ve been a nightowl & insomniac my entire life. My bedtime regimen is

Restoril 30mg, Benedryl 50mg & the muscle relaxant tizanidine 4mg x2

Puts me right out. 😁

Kristy Kanen's avatar

I want your prescriber ! I need to talk to my Dr, the Trazodone isn't working at all like it used to. Nightmares often now too.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Gummy’s are always good, but a blunt is preferable… Greg Olear loves his Manhattans, do you watch the 5-8 on YT or read Prevail Susan?

No...but I'll look it up!!

My local nursery carries CBD lollipops; I bought a bunch for friends.

I just bought a bottle of really good margarita mix. I plan to finish it rapidly.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Cadillac Margaritas are excellent, but its too cold in my neck of the woods Carol

Carol JLH's avatar

Thank you! Just drilled down far enough into my email backlog and saw this reply. I'll put it on my shopping list, Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1. It's in the single digits here currently but the taste of margaritas makes me think of warm memories so I'll bundle up and suck them down.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

I believe that will become more apparent with full-tilt fascism’s warm embrace Susan!!

un poco loco's avatar

I'm stocking up on weed, especially since Dan fucking Patrick is going to make thc illegal again in Texas without a prescription when the lege goes into session (and just as Trump is getting settled in). This includes hemp-derived thc, which is legal in most states now -- the liquor and beer industrial complex is unhappy that legal hemp is cutting into their business.

I'm usually maddest at Gov Dr Evil and fucking Ken Paxton, the crooked AG, but Dan Patrick just hit the top of my list.

David Lehnherr's avatar

Mace: "something from outside the universe"? Is there anything outside of the universe (beyond her brain, which does indeed appear to be in another dimension)?

un poco loco's avatar

According to people like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, yes -- there are other universes outside our own. But I doubt Nancy Mace could wrap that tiny mind around any of it.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Rod Serling could write a number of stories about the fuckery that goes on in these deranged derps heads David!!

Alison Parker's avatar

Don't worry, Nancy. If the drones are actually from "outside the universe" (which...um, there is no "outside" the universe, but of course she probably thinks "the universe" means "our solar system" because she's a fucking dumbass), they'll take one look at the GOP and say "oh fuck this shit" and head over to Mars instead.

Mary Sundberg's avatar

I so agree. Why would they waste their time with us. All they have to do is sit back and watch us destroy ourselves.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Maybe that's what the drones are about. They've brought their own popcorn and are hovering above "giggling" at our self-destruction.

Kristy Kanen's avatar

🎼 We'll Make Great Pets.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

But around here people like to fly their drones at night. One of my husband's friends invited us up to a local park to watch him fly his drone at night. Does this not happen in NJ???

Ben Zamir's avatar

Reminds me of the song "A TV Show Called Earth" (Philip Labes).

And our very planet. I'm not surprised to see climate change pass the "No Return" to "Quickly Dying" phase.

Nancy Potter's avatar

Hopefully, they would decide, as in the Hitchhiker's Guide, that we're harmless. With so many politicians who can't get their heads out of their own asses, it's unlikely we could pose a threat to a more advanced planet.

All I can say is, pity the Bahamians. Gotta admire Nancy's flexibility - putting her head up her own ass. And she's admiring the view. Aliens are disappointed in the lack of nutrition in their brains.

Rick Calegari's avatar

Speaking of the nutrition starved brains, we're also going to have MTG teaming up with Elonia and Rancidswampy to run the bogus Department of Government Inefficiency. In addition to that trio of fuckwads, we have Comer Cud spewing his usual bullshit and his desire to cut everything he can get his grubby hands on. This nightmare hasn't even officially started yet and I'm already counting the days for the next congressional election.

Stephen Brady's avatar

Maybe to our advantage, the rethugs all hate each other and only get to gather when they need to use each other.

Rick Calegari's avatar

With those three deranged over inflated egos, that's very likely.

Nancy Potter's avatar

Unfortunately, there's no chance that Trump will ever say he was joking all along regarding the Walker announcement (or any of the other appointments which look more like trolling than serious choices to build an administration.)

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Trump should wear his orange sanitation worker's vest to his inauguration. All his proposed cabinet appointees certainly look like trash collection.

un poco loco's avatar

Permian, What a great example American Exceptionalism! Three states decide on behalf of all fifty! Think of the efficiency and savings in time, money, anguish, etc., if the other states didn’t need to put presidential candidates on the ballot, at all!

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

VP Harris only lost by 1.6%! Asshole did not win by a landslide and in fact, he has the lowest margin in history.

Might not happen when we want it to but it will happen.

Ann Anderson's avatar

Most likely, they're our military drones. They display the red and green lights mandated by the FAA. They're probably searching for something they don't want the public to know about because as some screenwriter said about Americans in general, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH." Nancy Mace is crazier than a shithouse rat, and she's stealing valuable heat from Sporktoes. Now that's a ladies' room encounter I'd like to overhear.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Almost all of them are airplanes, helicopters, satellites, or stars, viewed with alarm by people who never really looked at the sky until the past couple weeks. Of the few actual drones (about 100 out of 5000 reports, IIRC), most are recreational drones, with a few operated by news channels or police departments mixed in. Drones that have violated restricted space? 2 cases this month. Military drones? Zero.

Ann Anderson's avatar

Ok, the Occam's razor explanation works. Can you share the source of your info?

Robert Eckert's avatar

It was on CNN citing some FBI source about how many videos had been sent to them and how few even required investigating to find out what the lights were.

That's what watching Fox News from morning til night does to your brain. We know some of these folks. They don't believe Jan. 6 actually happened, because Fox News didn't show video of it.

un poco loco's avatar

I read a legal argument filed in some Trump case (can't remember which because I really try to forget that shit before it gets lodged in a part of my brain it can't disappear from) -- ALL of the media sources cited in support of the argument were Breitbart, for fuck's sake. No sane, semi-intelligent person would believe a word published by Brietbart. Usually, when all you've got to support your argument is from Breitbart, you're fucked -- unless you're talking to the current Supremes, of course, which is probably what the defense is/was hoping for.

The Herschel Walker nomination is not that difficult to understand. People in the Bahamas are majority black, therefor you need a black ambassador to communicate with them!

Oh, and if I were Ruby Freeman or Shaye Moss I would be looking for a nice house in another country. I hope they both have passports; they might need them after January 20th.

As for the rest of the GQP; we they're all just cavemen throwing rocks at the moon.

arne link's avatar

Ole' Herschel can't communicate with anyone. He is illiterate and has brain damage. It is an insult to Bahamas and to the American people that he would be nominated. Oh, Lord. How I wish congress would do their job and shoot down some of the worst nominations.

Jayme Wolworth's avatar

When I saw the Herschel nomination this is exactly what I thought too. Trump decided that it would have to be a black guy to go to the black country. Walker is lucky, so far he's the only black appointed to anything in the Trump shit show.

Trump knows there are a lot of sharks in the Bahamas and it might take a werewolf to stand up to them if the electric boat battery fails.
