What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved. (slrpnk.net)

What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

"This here's an m80, it's like a quarter-stick of dynamite. Tape four of these bad boys together, it's like half a stick of dynamite!"

That show deserved better, as did the Clerks comic series. My father was so fucking proud the day he brought home the DVD, and we watched it over and fucking over. "Bear is driving, how can that be?!" lives right up there with "Haha! Cookies on dowels!" in my head.

Hell, I've wanted to do the "Is it safe?" bit before when doing overnight/early morning stocking in a store. Sometimes you get that one person who comes in the moment the store opens, and somehow manages to get in the way.

I showed my wife the first episode of the show just so she understand the “is it safe?” joke I use with my friends time to time. She didn’t enjoy the show much but she liked that joke a lot 🤣

Do you know what "is it safe?" is referencing?

Yup. I've run across many fans of the Clerks animated series who cite the "is is safe" scene as one of their favorites without realizing that it's not an original "joke", but actually a reference.
