I don't get it, is there I reference I don't know?

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 57 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (8 children)

It's a Cast Away (2000) reference. Tom >!Hanks!< (Hanks) is stranded on an island and paints a >!volleyball!< (volleyball) that he >!names!< (names) Wilson to be his friend since he's isolated for so >!long!< (long).

Edit: I said Bruce Willis and almost made it an action movie.

Edit: added spoiler tags on some words per request. I wasn't sure which were spoilers.

Edit: spoilers were bugged on someone's client so I wrote the spoilers next to the spoilers. Please understand.

This was before 9/11 when a guy could fuck a volleyball without people thinking he was weird.

Well, at least you tried not to spoil anything.

Tom >!Hanks!< (Hanks)

The spoiler tags are either invalid, or not rendering here, so I read this like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc1am3KyYgA&t=86s

Yup, that's probably the correct way to read it.

Those were the tags that Sync for Lemmy used, but looks like the browser version expects a different spoiler tag. Very strange.

It's probably ported over from Reddit and a bug. The way Lemmy spoiler tags things is with ::: spoilers :::

Eg.

This comment thread reminds me of the “hunter2” meme. :D

E: adding screenshot taken from Voyager.

This is how it's supposed to look (taken from Summit)

Neither of them worked on Eternity :(

[–] Vash63@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

I love the spoiler tag usage here followed by parentheses

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Thanks for explaining.

My bad. Would've been awesome though.

This summer: Bruce Willis is busting off this island.

"Looks like all those years of marine biology paid off" as he straps homemade explosives to dolphins for his plans of taking back a cruise ship from pirates.

[–] Sprokes@jlai.lu 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The spoiler didn't render well in client and I was what were those gibrish words.

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago

Spoiler tag please.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 36 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Watch cast away. It’s a great movie.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Best volleyball movie since Top Gun.

A moving moving picture

You have my permission to get up and go to the bathroom when he starts talking about a toothache.

The joke is that time Tom Hanks was in an abusive relationship with a volleyball

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yea, he really treated Wilson like shit sometimes.
