Bring out the Holy Hand Grenade

I always enjoy finding a familiar quote in a discussion where it has absolutely no business appearing. Somehow those are usually the moments that get the biggest laugh out of me.

Sometimes the original topic gets completely forgotten because everyone starts replying with more quotes.

What's the most unexpected place you've seen one pop up?

The last few weeks this page has been flooded with obvious bot posts. Today, there have been several new posts that look fine, but they were all created within a few minutes of each other mostly by accounts with hidden profiles, which makes me think they may not be legitimate.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I don't run into Monty Python references nearly as often as I used to.

Years ago, it felt like there was always someone sneaking a quote into a completely unrelated thread. These days it still happens, but it feels a little less frequent.

Do you think that's actually true, or am I just spending time in different parts of Reddit now?

Either way, it's always fun when one pops up unexpectedly and the replies instantly understand the joke. Those moments never seem to get old.

Sine reporting isn’t allowed, I’m just going to post here in hopes that there is some human mod here: the sub sucks now.

Hello everybody! To all readers and unexpected visitors!

I will be the new moderator of this subreddit.

From now on, I will make sure that activity will be a thing in this sub but I'll be needing some help from you guys.

What I need now is an assistant, if you could assist me revive this subreddit, I would really really appreciate it.

For now, ta-ta, goodbye!

- Your new Moderator
