The NomineesProfessor: If you were to take a tea spoon of the mass of a (some planetary term) it would way over 10 million pounds.
Genius: Wouldn't the spoon break?
Professor was explaining Germany's parliamentary government and how it functions...
The Brilliance: So do they have kings?
Engineering- "Looks like a car hit this guy. By the amount of damage I'd say it was maybe a 4 door SUV with 4-wheel drive, off-road capabilities. This car should be installed with a small animal collision detector in the front... maybe a scoop devise or something to gently toss the animal out of the way... hmm..."
Film- "This was no accident, this was murder! Who the hell would kill a small animal? They made it look like an accident, but then, right there, it looks like someone performed an autopsy on this little guy! Something strange is going on around here, and I don't like it... Unless this rodent was in fact the killer himself, who went back in time to make this car swerve and hit his past self!"
When searching for common ground with a white person, a mention of The Simpsons is a sure- fire bet to start a lively and engaging conversation. But simply stating that you like The Simpsons is a recipe for disaster. You have to be prepared to list the specific period in which you enjoyed the show or else you might be seen as someone with poor taste.
The Simpsons highlights the concept of "jumping the shark," which is one of the most important phenomena in white culture and one of the best methods for determining the cultural significance and knowledge of a white person.
"Jumping the shark" is a phrase that was coined after an episode of Happy Days in which Fonzie, a lead character, jumped over a shark. Many people point to that as the moment the show stopped being worth watching.
Ever since that time, white people have been obsessed with accurately noting the exact moment that something stopped being relevant. By being able to judge this with the most detail, a white person is able to be seen as a sharp critic of popular culture and one that deserves to be heard. But, as with everything in white culture, there are a lot of rules and you have to be careful about what you say.
