Is this supposed to be serious? It's so over the top that it reads like satire. The only thing missing is the applause.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 66 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Apparently this guy is a joker/troll, but still on the MAGA train. Satire, but uncritical of the thing it's satirizing? Maybe like Babylon Bee?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You know, I couldn't figure out what bugged me so much about the Babylon Bee until you just pointed it out perfectly. Most conservative humor is punching down, which is what makes it so unfunny in the first place. But even when they do an article poking fun at conservative stuff, they still don't quiet land any punches. Satire is supposed to be critical of what you're making fun of, not just acknowledging it.

IMO guys like OOP, and lots of conservative memes, are more about getting a reaction out of ideological/political opponents and then laughing about that. That is the thought process, but it doesn't have to actually happen this way, which makes it even sadder.

In other words, they imagine libs getting mad at their jokes, and that's the joke.

Other people have described this much better than me.

I'm not sure exactly where BB falls here, but at least partly the above applies.

Well kids, if you want to see Melania (pulls out phone), here you go!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Even naked, I literally couldn't find her less attractive. And I'm a straight dude who isn't even that picky about women.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Her "talents" on (mostly) full display

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 months ago

She is a certified genius in accordance with her visa type.

Alone in the basement, Adams was furiously whacking off with one hand, as he typed his Melania fanfic with the other.

'I am settling in for a showing of 'Melania' and the theater is PACKED!'

"What else does this story need?" he whacked. "Oh, yes. Little girls!"

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

His non-typing hand immediately doubled its speed.

This is literally Trump Derangement Syndrome.

[–] eddanja@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago

They then got up to the doors for Melania and the Easter Bunny said, "Tickets please.." and the man searched his pockets but couldn't find his tickets.

And the thousands or whatever made up, bullshit claims of people started yelling, "Hurry up!" "We want to see the movie!!"

Suddenly the person behind the man got impatient, pulled out a gun and shot the man.

I am settling in for a showing of ‘Melania’ and the theater is PACKED!

Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks.

“Avatar? No, son,” I curtly replied. “I don’t watch woke movies. I’m here to see the groundbreaking documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady.”

The man’s two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his sleeve, and begging, “Daddy, we want to see Melania!”

“But. But…” he stammered, “I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia 2?”

“No, no, NO,” they said, now nearly shouting. “We want to see Melania!! She is the most beautiful First Lady EVER.”

Their father was scrambling, stressed out, and disoriented.

“Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.”

Tears began to well up in their eyes.

“But…” I said in a hushed tone, “I happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I’d like you and your dad to have them.”

They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?”

He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked.

“Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

It doesn’t stop there. Here’s the rest of the post

… “Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.”

They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of pop faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?”

He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked.

“Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

Always have been, remember in 2016 when he said he'd release his tax information (required to get clearances) and he failed to do so, kept saying he would and now is suing the people who voted for him for $10 billion dollars.

Edit: why.. Because he told the population he would do the job for $0, and the tax records showed he didn't donate that money and was lying to every Republican voter.

Oh and because he can now blatantly steal from them, and they will say yes please, because every Republican is an absolute bootlicker

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago

And then everyone in the lobby clapped.

Yeah Nick Adams is a professional MAGA troll.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 19 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Actually it's the thrilling story of how some filmmakers and executives kissed Trump's wife's ass. It's a thrilling story about her raking in millions of millions of dollars to show that her idiot husband isn't the only one who can exploit his presidency for profit.

Nick Adams is someone that seems to have accepted his side is full of weirdo people who are wrong about everything but decided to go with the pay or something

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Its actually embarrassing seeing anyone get mad at this account, when it's pretty clearly a shit post account.

Making a movie about a woman with said woman seems pretty woke. We're supposed to be at home cooking and giving birth aren't we? Who let this one out of her cage?

I don't understand wtf is going on with the RT score.

10% Critics, 99% Verified Audience

99 audience score? Surely, it's bots, right?

So you look at "All Audience" and you see 1/5 pretty much the whole way down:

Then Verified Audience.... and it's 5/5 the whole way down?

These are (supposedly) verified ticket purchase reviews/accounts. Did they seriously just buy up a bunch of tickets just pay for high reviews?

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I mean they buy books in bulk to get an author on the best seller list
