minus-squarePlum@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoI think his sense of humor is a little more fucking refined, my friend.
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoEhhh, I’m not so sure about that. DVD has been joking all year that it would be hilarious if he died Dec 10-12 so that he just barely didn’t make it. I will agree there’s a difference between DVD joking about it, and some rando.

minus-squareMiles O'Brien@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month ago… Genuine question: what was the pun? I have been considered an honorary dad due to my DadHumor, and I can’t find one.
minus-squaregrindemup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI think the pun is that “Sick Man Died” sounds vaguely like / rhymes with Dick van Dyke. Spoiler: it’s not a very good pun.
minus-squareMiles O'Brien@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoWell, you’re certainly correct in your assessment of the pun’s quality. I’m not a fan of slant rhyme even when it’s close, so it’s even less effective on me I guess. Thank you for the explanation, it now makes sense.
