Is this "has seen" or "is really into"?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Either. Heck "follows written instructions" qualifies. I'll give ya a bonus point for "requesting clarification of ambiguities", nerd.

If we need to ask whether something belongs on this list, the answer is yes.

Except Babylon 5. For Babylon 5, the answer is a new language concept called a triple-yes.

A friend of mine got fired from his old job by telling his boss that Babylon 5 was a big pile of sh*te.

And if you're a nerd, you'll know that that wasn't actually a friend of mine, but Tim Biseley, one of the protagonists of turn of the century TV show Spaced, played by Simon Pegg.

What happens in that "one episode of the thing"?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Walter and Jesse have unsimulated anal sex with each other.

It was the most graphic 235 minutes of the entire series.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

A personal favorite episode of mine

Now here’s the twist, and there is a twist: We show it. We show all of it. Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action TV shows these days guys? …Full penetration. Guys, we’re gonna show full penetration and we’re gonna show a lot of it! I mean, we’re talking, you know, graphic scenes of Walt really going to town on this hot young Jessie Pinkman. From behind, 69, anal, cowboy, reverse cowboy, all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones.

Can I get an extra box for "Doctor Who should never be written with Doctor abbreviated?"

[–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 6 days ago

Yes.

In fact, it works as a triple score bonus, as are all of the following: Quintessons, Shattered Glass, the Silmarillion, Babylon 5, putting DS9/Voyager above TNG, non-televised sport, Gojira, and "I'm not a fan of Anime/Manga I only like [Insert, odds on Gainax, title or studio here]".

Adding additional boxes is in itself a secret extra box that you have to check now.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Well, I’ve already checked a few so one more can’t hurt.

TTRPGs are for jocks.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

No early German expressionist cinema?

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I checked too many boxes. I guess nerdiness runs deep in me.

[x] Lord of the Rings

Fuuuuck. My Achele's Heel!

[–] molten@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

My killy heal

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

But they were all of them deceived, for another checkbox was made.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

but you told me to check the boxes! i'm a nerd for following instructions now?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Correct, nerd.

[–] dsilverz@thelemmy.club 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do the options "Written Sci-fi" and "Written Fantasy" also apply for writers, not consumers?

Because I once wrote both a sci-fi and fantasy story, so I'd check those.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 10 points 6 days ago

You get double marks for bring a creator.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Um ahkshually this is a comic community and many of these franchises did not start as comic franchises and therefore don't belong on a list in this community. You're not a real comic book nerd unless your checklist begins and ends with Watchmen.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

Boomer as fuck.
