WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: I for one am glad they didn't come off. OK.
next topic.; 7/18/23, 10:23 AM
Jeff Gee said...: Similarly, DC's tiny character, The Atom, was routinely shown bopping around gigantic air molecules, without any explanation of what he was supposed to be breathing.; 7/18/23, 11:06 AM
mikee said...: I had a mean older brother, essentially a sociopath who liked hitting me. I liked the Hulk because he got stronger as he became more enraged. My older brother should never know how lucky he is that I could never "Hulk out" on his rotten self.

Pants? Spandex is an amazing material.; 7/18/23, 11:49 AM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: what a stupid conversation.

funny to say big green dick - but after that you realize that the TV version of that silly show popular in the 70s? or was it 80s? - was not pornographic. They had to leave the pants on. duh.; 7/18/23, 12:10 PM

Saint Croix said...: ha ha ha ha hahahaha; 7/18/23, 12:17 PM
Saint Croix said...: I love the nervous kids. Too funny.; 7/18/23, 12:19 PM
tommyesq said...: Love the very troubled kids that pop up when the big green dick gets mentioned.; 7/18/23, 12:24 PM
Saint Croix said...: Marvel had two Hulk movies and they both suck. Not horribly, horribly bad (like the TV show!). More like boring mediocrity that you will never watch again.

If you want to enjoy the Hulk, the one to watch is The Avengers, where the CGI is awesome, and the Hulk is so much fun.; 7/18/23, 12:32 PM

Saint Croix said...: Bruce Banner wakes up naked in The Avengers, by the way. And they have to give him some pants.; 7/18/23, 12:40 PM

Ficta said...: There's a scene in the second Hulk movie (2008, the one with Edward Norton): After Hulking out in Brazil and running away from the US military, he goes to a market in Guatemala and buys the biggest, stretchiest pair of shorts he can find. They happen to be purple. It's a whole semi-in joke. Everyone has always made jokes about Hulk's shorts.; 7/18/23, 12:57 PM
Narr said...: Not many people know this, but The Hulk and the Jolly Green Giant were longtime companions.; 7/18/23, 1:11 PM
Mark said...: Adults talking about dicks in front of random children is now funny and OK with Republicans?

Odd joke for people accusing others of being groomers.; 7/18/23, 1:13 PM

rrsafety said...: Much more entertaining than the show itself.; 7/18/23, 2:13 PM
Readering said...: Podcast discussions too slow and meandering.; 7/18/23, 2:57 PM

Those weren't real kids, they were cartoon characters.

Plus, it s better than Democrats who are okay with actual, real-life men waggling them around in front of actual, real-life children.; 7/18/23, 3:02 PM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Maybe Althouse is preparing a post on Trump's imminent indictment. Very interesting that of all the people who Merrick Garland has been asked to name a special counsel for Trump is the only one Garland has named. Thank the good Lord Trump kept that idiot off the bench with an assist from McConnell.; 7/18/23, 3:14 PM
Rusty said...: Joe Rogan be trippin'.; 7/18/23, 4:09 PM

1) Joe Rogan is not a Republican, not even close. The only reason Republicans like him, and Democrats hate him (now) is because he believes in free speech. I seriously doubt you can come up with a quote from a Republican praising this bit.

2) When this conversation took place, there were no children in the room. It didn't happen in a comic book shop either.

3) I would much rather adults talk about dicks in front of children instead of wave dicks in front of children's faces like Progressives do.; 7/18/23, 5:14 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: Since this is a magical character designed to delight children, not having an exposed gigantic penis seems in keeping.; 7/18/23, 5:36 PM
Dave Begley said...: It’s a movie.; 7/18/23, 5:41 PM
Saint Croix said...: Adults talking about dicks in front of random children is now funny and OK with Republicans?

The cartoonist is making fun of Rogan by moving his adult conversation from his studio into a comic book store, and he added a couple of cartoon character kids, who are a little intimidated and/or freaked out by the adults in the comic book store talking about Hulk's big green dick.

This is funny because of the incongruence of two adult men having an adult conversation about a childish subject.

Rogan and his friend are also having fun in their studio, by trying to impose adult reality (a.k.a. "science") on comic books.

Obviously Marvel comics always kept the pants on the Hulk because they didn't want the federal government investigating them for corrupting the youth. Which is how I think Socrates died if I remember right.

This does not mean Democrats should invent Incredible Hulk Story Hour where 6 year olds show up so you can read comic books to them, and have a naked giant man painted green wave his dick in their faces. As we all know, Republicans complain about that shit.

We're also opposed to infanticide, castration, and giving steroids to small children. Dr. Frankenstein exists and he's teaching medical school right now. But go ahead and weep for the cartoon children, Mark, you ninny.; 7/18/23, 5:42 PM
Deevs said...: "Odd joke for people accusing others of being groomers."

I agree, Mark. Cartoon Joe Rogan should not be grooming cartoon children with talk of green dicks. I'm going to email a complaint to cartoon Spotify to let them know I do not approve of their continued cartoon support of cartoon Joe Rogan.; 7/18/23, 5:52 PM
Bobby said...: He sounds a lot like Howard Stern here - funny but juvenile. Next, he'll be telling fart jokes about the RKJ Jr. dinner party. Most podcast hosts have a lot of airtime to kill.; 7/18/23, 5:57 PM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: OT:

Former spokesman for pedophile advocacy group writes Bloomberg hit piece targeting anti-child sex trafficking film 'Sound of Freedom'; 7/18/23, 6:30 PM
Lem the artificially intelligent said...: The Hulk is toxic masculinity on steroids. I should say the original Hulk was.; 7/18/23, 6:33 PM
Drago said...: Dumber Than Usual Lefty Mark: "Adults talking about dicks in front of random children is now funny and OK with Republicans? Odd joke for people accusing others of being groomers."

LOL

Tell me you did NOT just write that about....CARTOON children!

You did, didn't you?

Cartoon children. CARTOON children!; 7/18/23, 6:47 PM
Narr said...: This seems like a good time to refer to my group's old catchphrase that something bad "eats the green wienie."; 7/18/23, 6:57 PM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: Mark - this is adult content for adults. and jokes.
Unless you the child you are talking about is... you?

Leftists in public schools all over want to groom and confuse children.; 7/18/23, 8:02 PM
