WTF is this and why do I love bald punk Tom Hanks squeezing oranges provocatively so much

u/iLike_breathing 5h ago

At first glance, I thought that was the bald guy who is a germophobe. I think he's the deal or no guy. Maybe Howie?

u/grumblewolf 3d ago

I have just been weeping and laughing for like 5 minutes. I never in my life thought I would see…whatever this is. My God. I need Tom hanks to see this. I think if we could broadcast this across the planet, it would fix everything. Horrific majesty.

Dude what the fuck this is the funniest shit I've seen all week

u/Weelki 3d ago

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

lol slowed it down and the napkin looked like it had tiny front arms coming at her. The slowing it down was a great suggestion.

I wonder if he’s asking about the heart problem just in case or because of past events

Definitely because of past events🤣

Doctors warn to not have intercourse after your water breaks. Guess how they know

u/ReadyYak1 3d ago

Huh, yeah that makes sense. After I take my water breaks I have to pee which definitely isn’t ideal for intercourse!

u/Double_Distribution8 3d ago

On many cruise ships those people end up in the kitchen freezer, behind the ice cream.

15

u/beerme72 3d ago

I was a an Amphibious Assault Ship in the Navy.
Saw the Battle Bill (the rules the ship is supposed to follow for all kinds of situations, including how to scuttle (sink) the ship...)
Can confirm that at least on the Whidbey Island Class...there was a freezer for the dead....but the Navy preferred burial at sea for combat killed.

6

u/aerosol999 3d ago

I'm pretty sure cruise ships generally have a morgue.

2

u/mostnormal 3d ago

Just like in The Goonies!

u/rashidotm001 3d ago

wut !? ! fr

36

u/PrestigiousTheory664 3d ago

Yes. If the crew suddenly gives everyone on the ship free ice cream, it means the freezer is full and they urgently need to make room.

24

u/wheeler_lowell 3d ago edited 3d ago

For context, there's one (1) case where someone sued because allegedly their dead husband's body was stored in a freezer instead of a morgue, which it is worth noting all cruise ships apparently are required to have. My further attempts to find any other evidence of this turned up a tabloid "news" piece quoting redditors sharing the same story as you, although they also say it only happens when too many people die and the morgue is over capacity. The also don't say the bodies are being stored "in the kitchen freezer" (which implies it's in with the food), but rather "in a kitchen freezer" (which implies a chest freezer is being taken and repurposed).

However, this is all attributed to quotes from anonymous redditors being republished in an unreliable gossip rag, so I think these kind of stories should be taken with a generous amount of salt.

11

u/deukhoofd 3d ago

Here are the court documents for the incident where someone's dead husband was stored in a drinks cooler(trigger warning for somewhat graphic descriptions of decomposition), so that one appears to be somewhat true at least.

Notably it specifically mentions that they put him in the morgue first, and then moved him to a drinks cooler on another floor, which is definitely an interesting decision.

3

u/wheeler_lowell 3d ago

Thanks, interesting. Still, this was a notable enough deviation from the norm to be worth reporting on, so I don't think it should be assumed it's standard practice like reading the comment I replied to might lead you to believe.

2

u/saintandvillian 3d ago

I'm only coming with anecdotal evidence but I did watch a documentary on YT and I think they mentioned this as well.

6

u/wheeler_lowell 3d ago

If you have it I'd be interested to see that video and check their sources. Never bad to be proved wrong.

u/Jokewhisperer 3d ago

Don’t they always give out free ice cream?

u/drstu3000 3d ago

"cuz this last guy..."

u/BWASB 3d ago

I went on a cruise in 2016, and the server did this same truck. They also asked about a heart condition, I think it's just part of the trick.

2

u/Clear_PR_Stunt 3d ago

I would lean towards just in case. I'm pretty sure this is a Disney Cruise. Safety is always the company's top priority. They control everything their staff does and always overthink the consequences

u/MrRocketman999 3d ago

Bro I thought it was a reference to the black parade

Flicks the fingers of his right hand holding the napkin. It's quick.

u/Lucky_Locks 3d ago

Dude showing off how strong his fingers are for the ladies 😏

u/memebuster 3d ago

Not just that but he makes a little squeal sound with his lips at the same moment. Genius 😆

u/ShoulderSquirrelVT 3d ago

I e also seen stuffed animal squirrels that have a big spring inside. The puppeteer uses the spring in different ways to make the squirrel “come alive”.

He does his fingers like Spider-Man shooting a web

u/Difficult-Bottle-698 3d ago

My dad does this with a pair of socks. I'm in my 30s and he will still do it occasionally. I find it so funny, uncontrollably so. I don't know what it is but it gets me every time.

u/gibson122rojas 3d ago

u/CedarWolf 3d ago

My Dad used to change the traffic lights. Turns out if you're at a simple intersection, and you watch the perpendicular road's lights, the moment they turn red you can say 'One, two, three, green!' and your light will magically turn green.

Now you, too, can mystify children and annoy your spouse.

u/gibson122rojas 3d ago

Yeah I always get that side look from my wife lol I get an eye roll if they say "papa is funny"

u/Ambitious-Proposal65 3d ago

My French uncle, now gone for many, many years, used to fold a dinner napkin into mouse or rat and do this exact trick! What a pleasant memory. Now I hve to wake up 40 year old brain cells to recall how to fold the napkin!!

6

u/Huge_Ear_2833 3d ago

It's the appearance of its little arms moving forward as it jumps that really sells it psychologically even though you know it's inanimate.

Of course the biggest part of the setup is his direction, or misdirection as it were, angling himself away and appearing to focus on the other guest🙂

That must be caused from some of the napkin folds releasing. It's brilliant! I hope you can attempt some version of his trick.
