(spiler) Rogo doesn't give Mrs Rosen an ounce of dignity


Sure, I get everyone didn't want to go behind her up Christmas trees, or through air-shafts etc, in case she got stuck and trapped them behind her, and all that.

But, really Mr Rogo? She just saved you and the whole group by freeing the preacher from drowning, giving herself a fatal heart attack in the process, and all you can do is comment on her weight again with the line:

"Had a lotta guts, lady. Lotta guts!"

you heartless b*****d!

You're a MORON. What did you want him to do....kill himself? He felt terrible for her, conveyed it and then moved on like he should of. Did you want him to break out a picnic for everyone in her name? Good God where do you dimwit posters come from?

reply

You understand sarcasm, don't you? If you do, you chose to ignore it in my post. So tell me, are you ignorant, or are you a dimwit yourself?

Nothing in your original post suggests sarcasm. Sounds more like you're back-peddling.

reply

In other words, you DID completely miss the sarcasm.

Worse, it seems like you think someone using it actually needs to INDICATE it's use for it to recognised as such. You're showing a total lack of understanding as to what it is in the first place.

Unless, of course, you're pulling the old reverse sarcasm psychology gag. In which case, well done! You had me going.

Exactly, he's so dumb trying to backpedal. Glad you called it

reply

No. I just used sarcasm as it was meant to be used. You ALSO didn't see it.

OP was actually joking.

Rogo said she had a lot of guts (courage), but OP's joke is that Rogo was saying a lot of guts (fat stomach).

It wasnt a very funny joke, but it was an attempt at humor, nonetheless

reply

Then he's a bigger IDIOT than I originally thought

reply

Yes, I'm the idiot because YOU don't understand sarcasm when it hits you in the face.

Stop trying to worm your way out, you're looking pathetically foolish at this point

reply

Your sarcasm was pretty obvious to me and the other poster\s have now been owned and can't swallow their pride. I guess they don't have the guts Mrs. Rosen did.

Like they say, it takes one to know one. Your avatar and manner of your posts gives you away, and since you don't appear to have much insight or perception, to go along with your lack of guts, I would classify you as a troll as well. Being a moronic troll isn't much of an achievement now is it. Or perhaps you just suffer from ADHD.

And you're not a troll???? Please, go away and don't come back. Crawl back underneath the rock you arose from. The OP was called out for a dumb post and now he's trying to defend it, you just felt like adding your pathetic drivel and it ain't working for you

reply

I doubt that you've ever done or said anything remotely useful in your pathetic drivel of a life, and not much would have ever worked out for you.

You can't even do a decent job of being a troll. Even I surpass you here.

"The OP was called out for a dumb post and now he's trying to defend it"

To paraphrase: "You were called out for not getting the joke, however dumb it was, and now you're just trying to pretend you understood it but just didn't like it."

You literally asked "What did you want him to do", instead of saying "That's a stupid joke and not funny", so it's clear proof you didnt understand it in the first place and are now (your words) 'trying to back-peddal'.

reply

"Your sarcasm was pretty obvious"

That was just a bad joke, NOT sarcasm.

reply

Sorry, but... yes it was.

Sarcasm is the use of irony to convey satire. Rogo said something ironic, and I used it in a satirical way.

Once more, just because YOU don't understand what it is, it doesn't mean it isn't sarcasm.

reply

You sound just like Alanis Morissette. No, what you or Rogo said was not sarcasm OR irony. Your trolling attempt failed.🍆

reply

Wow, Stratego. I’ve noticed you being in lots of arguments with trolls lately. 😀

reply

Plural?

reply

Yes. I thought I had read a lengthy exchange with one yesterday.

reply

I'm pretty sure it's just one.

reply

👍

reply

"No, what you or Rogo said was not sarcasm OR irony. Your trolling attempt failed."

Yes, what Rogo said was ironic. Just because you don't understand what irony is...

reply

Sure, Alanis, it's ironic, like rain on your wedding day...🍆

reply

irony: "a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what one intends or expects, and is often amusing as a result"

Yeah, after going on about her weight, him saying she had a lot of guts is an event (him saying something) that gives an unintended contrary further dig at her weight.

It's actually almost textbook irony. Rather like you comparing it to Alanis (which is as you correctly point out, not irony) because it actually isn't like Alanis' examples.

That's another example of irony. Thank's for that.

reply

My comment was indeed ironic and sarcastic, but not for the reason you suggest.

Rogo's remark isn't ironic, it's serious as hell.

Even your idiotic interpretation isn't ironic, because it isn't "contrary". It's nothing but a literal interpretation of a figurative expression.

Your lame trolling attempt has failed. Now go back to filmboards.🍆

reply

I like it here. I get to meet people like you who don't understand jokes or irony. You're unintentionally funny. You even sign off your posts with a self portrait.

Props to you for owning your idiocy.

reply

Yep, when you know you're wrong and have no argument, you just resort to ad hominem attacks, as usual. Thanks for proving my point. Your trolling sucks and so does your understanding of irony, sarcasm and any kind of humor. Now go suck on your 🍆.

reply

You want me to suck on your face?

You love me!!!!

"You're trolling sucks and so does your understanding of irony"

Except, for the fact you're wrong, you're absolutely right.

reply

"You want me to suck on your face?"

I said YOUR 🍆. Thanks for showing there's nothing you understand.

reply

Oh, my mistake. I'm glad you clarified that you are a sexual deviant and want to see men sucking themself off.

But you should probably spend more time seeking help for that psychological problem, instead of time on here, a movie discussion site, looking for gay autoerotica. If nothing else, go to an actual site dedicated to your particular sexual deviancy.

The rest of us will have a healthy discussion that doesn't involve you pleasuring yourself.

reply

Your trolling has become too repetitive and boring, Douchefeet.

reply

Oh... I see. Now your sexual deviancy has been highlighted, you're not going to show it in any more posts.

Own it, buddy. There are probably fan-fic sites that'll cater to your gay auto-erotic fantasies.

reply

;)
Good one MrZ

reply

It went over those other guy's heads. Especially that guy who want's to see guys sucking their own genitals. He's a real whack-job.
