The bad jokes topic 🐴🍹👨

I like the name Breaking Bad but found it very awkward when Jesse actually said the phrase to Walter:
"Guys like you don't just... BREAK BAD!" * turns and winks at camera *
-
From the context of the show, I think it just means a good, law abiding person being pushed to the breaking point and becoming a criminal/bad person. The idea being every person has such a breaking point, if things got bad enough. I think nearly all people would steal food if they were starving for example.

"Inside baseball" is something the radio host says on my morning show, but I've never heard it otherwise. I grew up on the West Coast, moved to North Carolina, and then live in the Great Lakes region now, so it's probably a Northeast thing?
No. I grew up in California and live in the Mid Atlantic. I've heard it in both places.
Apparently the guy who wrote Breaking Bad was surprised to learn that nobody knew what "breaking bad" meant.
He just over estimated TV audience intelligence. Could happen to anyone.
to go wrong, to turn toward immorality or crime
In a 1919 overview of goings-on on Wall Street, the writer suggested that “the average speculator will not take a position in the highly speculative industrials for over Sunday, but because he can’t stay out of the market altogether, gets into the rails at the end of the week in hope of making a successful turn and with confidence that if things ‘break bad’ over Sunday rails will feel the shock less than the industrials
Also, it could be used to legitimately describe my short game in golf.

Is related to "Electric Bugaloo II" ??
It's "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" and that is obviously just a made-up word.
Goddamned. Do your research on trash cinema movie titles before posting here, sheesh.

Excuse me while I celebrate thoroughly demolishing your argument. With coffee. And some fruit snacks. But they're the Kellogg's ones, which aren't very good. They're all made from apples. Even the cherry flavored fruit snacks are made from apples. Weird.

First you have to do so.

Fruit snacks aren't good by definition.

To summarise:
- Americans don't know who Noddy is, almost all Brits will be aware and have watched it as children
- Nobody outside America, and not everybody in America, has heard of Inside Baseball, because it's a stupid nonsense term
- The name breaking bad was made up and retconned to have meant something all along
- Electric Boogaloo is a thing that some people say sometimes for some reason
-
The name breaking bad was made up and retconned to have meant something all along
Retconned a full century before the show aired?

Exactly 100 years? Seems a little convenient, don't you think?

When I first read it, my brain translated to Nobby, the Discworld character.
To summarise:
Excellent @ben_lubar impression, BTW.

See for yourself
It's a 2009 reprint, but it's definitely the right book

In Go, a @ben_lubar impression can be implemented in 6 lines, 4 of which are valid Lojban sentences.

So, after Breaking bad?
Look, if you want to believe what they're telling you then go ahead. I prefer to use my mind.

The actual phrase is "Just to recap:"
Plus, he misspelled summarize. But I let that slide due to the quality trolling of the actual bullet points.

I see the concept of a reprint has flown right over your head…
-

Nonsense. You've heard of it.

reprint
For example, it appeared from ‘The Times’ of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa. As it happened, the Eurasian Higher Command had launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone. It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother’s speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened.
Nonsense. You've heard of it
I have now. I had to look it up
-
I have now. I had to look it up
Yes, well, now you can no longer say nobody outside of America knows it. QED

If you're being dickweedish, I can respond that I've never heard of it since I've only seen it written down

I could record myself saying it.
I won't, because I'm lazy, but I could.

Electric Boogaloo is a thing that some people say sometimes for some reason
In college, I used to joke with my buddies that they should have named Unreal II Unreal II: Nali Madness.
Anyway, whenever we discussed a theoretical sequel to a movie, we either called it "X: Electric Boogaloo" or "X: Nali Madness".

Retconned a full century before the show aired?
There are a lot of words from 1908 I don't say in 2015.

Now find an old thread the rat was in.
(I used the term 8 days ago in the Funny Stuff thread.) (I used it in September in a thread in which he made a post 4 posts later, so I now assume he's just being obnoxious today.)

i knew it with:
"we must kill all the jews, the blacks and the firemen"

You said it a couple of times:

Apparently the guy who wrote Breaking Bad was surprised to learn that nobody knew what "breaking bad" meant.
Anyway, there's a lot of regional variation in the US. I don't speak your southern drawl redneck language.
Vince Gilligan was born in Virginia and wrote a TV show set in the American Southwest that was entitled 'Breaking Bad'. I live in the Midwest, and even I knew what it meant prior to the show.
Of course, I have also fractured a law or two in my younger years. Perhaps that is the difference?

CITE YOU'RE SHIT
What you did there, I see it.
Trying to give @abarker and @HardwareGeek an aneurysm, that is what you are trying to do.
