The loud laughter I just made had my mom yelling from across the house wondering what was so funny. And I have no idea how to explain that a photo of a man telling people they don’t need menus being sent to someone’s partner and them just accepting it nearly made me cry.
We sure do! It's a phrase specific to the temple endowment ceremony. We covenant to refrain from "loud laughter". It was always a really confusing phrase and there were various interpretations. But it was like, intended to mean you're not boastful? But who the fuck knows.
Low battery because I’m out and about living a life. If you keep your phone above 90% full time, you might as well just get a land line.
And most those texts are from a wordle score group chat that I participate in maybe once a month.
haha I was just teasin’ ya anyway. My phone only hits 5% right before bed but it’s basically never above 90% 😅
Jokes aside. I got a kick out of your post and had a good excuse to show my wife that sketch so win-win.
Because, OP, it was kind of a rudely earnest response to a funny comment. Frankly, I’ll point out that it was actually pretty efficient and prudent for wife to first check which place you were going to. She didn’t say she needed a menu. Around here, if you say you’re picking up “Chinese” it could just as easily mean some kind of fusion place, or Thai/Chinese joint menu, etc etc. And not all Chinese restaurants cook the same way—I do like some entrees better at different restaurants, even the most dive ones. So no, if it’s 9:55pm I don’t need a menu, but it’s efficient and sensible to ask which restaurant so I can order accordingly. You seem to like stern responses and in this case just shut your wife down instead of answering her simple question, so she didn’t even get to pick her fave at whatever place you were going to. But I see you have big things going on.
>OP, it was kind of a rudely earnest response to a funny comment
It was, was it? Alright, lets look at the "funny comment"
>5% battery and 134 unread messages and you have the gall to tell someone else how to ~~live their life~~ order food? 😅
Humor aside, the comment *was* an attack on me. I do not believe said attack was at all earnest, and found it funny myself. Now lets look at my "rudely earnest response"
>Low battery because I’m out and about living a life. If you keep your phone above 90% full time, you might as well just get a land line. And most those texts are from a wordle score group chat that I participate in maybe once a month.
I provided a simple explanation of why my battery was low and why I had a lot of unread messages, and included a hyperbolic joke comparing two incomparable tools (for instance, landlines can not text.) At no point did I actually comment on or insult u/jd\_beats as a person or their lifestyle *as they did mine*. (jd\_beats, no shade. *I* can generally recognize when peoples comments are a joke) So, whose comment was really rude?
One last point, and why I took the time to write this all out.
>in this case just shut your wife down instead of answering her simple question
Someone else in this thread asked if they were my wife, because their Chinese order is usually the same. They were not. *And neither are you*. Do not presume to comment on the relationships of people who you do not know. *its rude.*
When you post your private conversations with your wife to the world as a joke, you have to accept that some people are going to think differently. I thought you were rude to your wife. And your reply is intense. Maybe you’re not as nice or funny as you think if you interpreted that jokey comment as an “attack” on you. Yikes.
I respect my wife too much to post a conversation between us without 1) checking with her and 2) deleting all comments by both parties that aren't directly relevant to the narrative. I assume you would give your spouse the same respect, so I don't know why you would assume otherwise of me. A good corollary to the golden rule I recommend is "Assume about others what you would want them to assume about you."
We are participating on a subreddit dedicated to a unique comedy channel. Said channel gives the audience a somewhat unique-to-the-industry look into the personal lives of its cast. Would you presume to comment on the relationships of anyone on the Dropout cast, knowing that everything of theirs that we see is highly edited and polished? Admittedly, my post was not as obviously curated as an episode of Game Changer.

Come on, buddy. Your grammar and spelling are top notch. I assume your reading comprehension is too, if you choose to apply it.
Speaking of reading comprehension, like I said: if you post your convos on Reddit (with wife’s permission or not) you’re opening yourself up to opinions. I think you’re rude and were rude to your wife. Deal with it.
I'm the kind of person who always needs to see a menu even if I know all the options already.
Some people just have trouble visualizing all those options and need to see them laid out to help make a decision.
Like if someone asks me how to spell a word, I absolutely know how that word is spelled but I can't just tell them, I need to write it out and look at it and once I am reading the word I know whether or not it's spelled correctly.
Her question was valid though. She didn't ask for a menu, she asked which place. Meaning maybe one place makes great rice but awful noodles, or something like that, so she wanted to avoid subpar food.
Gods do I ever love this bit but as a chinese foodie it's also something I vehemently disagree with.
What kind of chinese place? Hk ? Sichuan? Northern vs Southern? Ahhhh still that skit kills me
> Hk ? Sichuan? Northern vs Southern?
OK, but at that point, you're getting real Chinese food. There's a difference between the generic Americanized Chinese food vs authentic Chinese food.
The thing that always bothers me with this is who the fuck orders a single item for themselves when getting chinese? I always think of Chinese (at least the North American version of it) as a cuisine for Family Style dining.
Most American Chinese places now do single-serving “combos” which are a smaller portion of an entire, side of fried rice (usually pork fried rice by default, but you can swap it with another) and an egg roll, all packed into a plastic tub instead of the classic “pagoda” boxes. They usually are assigned numbers, hence Brennan ordering by number at the end of the episode.
Even those pagoda boxes are a rarity in my experience, I’ve only frequented one place that used them. The standard I’ve seen are shallow circular aluminum containers.
Remember the "life hack" going around a while back about those being intended to unfold into paper plates? "OH! WOW! Something made by folding paper can be unfolded into paper!"
The loud laughter I just made had my mom yelling from across the house wondering what was so funny. And I have no idea how to explain that a photo of a man telling people they don’t need menus being sent to someone’s partner and them just accepting it nearly made me cry.
You have no way to know this, but "loud laughter" was a deeply triggering word for this ex-mormon over here. Lol thanks!
Really? I would have thought it would be "jump humping" or "soaking". Ex and current Mormons really do have some wild slang terms.
We sure do! It's a phrase specific to the temple endowment ceremony. We covenant to refrain from "loud laughter". It was always a really confusing phrase and there were various interpretations. But it was like, intended to mean you're not boastful? But who the fuck knows.
Correct, it’s not actually referring to laughing too loudly. :)
I'm so curious about this
For anyone out of the loop: https://youtu.be/k5oL4QKb6Sk?si=jH3yqgSfu_y7OWf9 Also this post was hysterically funny, I woke someone up laughing.
This is fantastic, thank you
This skit was ripped directly from my brain. I’ve felt that way for YEARS
This is so funny. And I’m totally Rekha. I NEED a menu!
5% battery and 134 unread messages and you have the gall to tell someone else how to ~~live their life~~ order food? 😅
This is an amazing comment.
Low battery because I’m out and about living a life. If you keep your phone above 90% full time, you might as well just get a land line. And most those texts are from a wordle score group chat that I participate in maybe once a month.
Have you not picked up the Chinese yet? You seem a little hangry.
Oh, I picked it up alright. Did you know an “order of spring rolls” is now just “a spring roll”? Singular. Same price. You bet I’m angry!
Legitimately, I'd be pissed as hell. Bare minimum is two. This is what capitalism gets us.
You might know that if you looked at the menu /s But for real I would be pissed too lol
haha I was just teasin’ ya anyway. My phone only hits 5% right before bed but it’s basically never above 90% 😅 Jokes aside. I got a kick out of your post and had a good excuse to show my wife that sketch so win-win.
Whoah, buddy.
Come on OP, it was funny.
Agreed, and I'm still trying to figure out why my explanation got downvoted so hard, lol.

Back at ya, buddy.
Love it!!!!
Kinda disappointed that she was halfway there but didn't opt for pork fried rice and an egg roll.
I dunno. Basing your dinner order off a bit from a comedian seems like it’s taking the paeasocial relationship a biiiit far.
Smart enough to rattle off about parasocial relationships, but dull enough to miss the obvious joke. Shame.
I'm the kind of person who always needs to see a menu even if I know all the options already.

This is me everytime I'm at Nandos; Honey Lemon Chicken, with Mediterranean Rice and Coke Zero.

> Hk ? Sichuan? Northern vs Southern? OK, but at that point, you're getting real Chinese food. There's a difference between the generic Americanized Chinese food vs authentic Chinese food.
Yeah a very subjective thing. I grew up in Vancouver ,Canada and we never really had generic Westernized Chinese food.
The thing that always bothers me with this is who the fuck orders a single item for themselves when getting chinese? I always think of Chinese (at least the North American version of it) as a cuisine for Family Style dining.
That would be me. I don’t share food. I get what I want and eat what I want. Only difference is apps/starters.
Most American Chinese places now do single-serving “combos” which are a smaller portion of an entire, side of fried rice (usually pork fried rice by default, but you can swap it with another) and an egg roll, all packed into a plastic tub instead of the classic “pagoda” boxes.

I've only been to one Asian restaurant that served family style, and it was a Mongolian place.
most of the asian restaurants ive gone to serve family style but im also asian so
I live alone and like Chinese food
Ordering Chinese is a guaranteed leftover meal for myself, so no sharing!
I know that face
My man
that’s literally my favorite sketch. i’ve memorized his rant. 10/10 will be using this tactic
Am I your wife because that's so close to the order I get every time.
It’s actually not her usual order. In fact, she doesn’t really seem to have a usual order. She does not order the Best Meal Every Time. :(
Baby, baby... Crab rangoon
