For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.

you can learn about it here

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

I've been on the internet for a long time and I'd never seen that one. You're doing God's work.

RIP "are you waiting to receive my limp penis?" guy. He died a couple of months ago.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 18 points 8 months ago

He’s now in Aussie Crook Valhalla, enjoying endless succulent Chinese meals with Ned Kelly and Chopper Read.

This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

[–] hanke@feddit.nu 18 points 8 months ago

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I've ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.

I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action... and the second movie was hot garbage.

The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.

You couldn't stage an arrest video that good. That man could project like a Shakespearean actor.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He actually was a stage actor who did Shakespeare, no joke.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Fuckin a. It has to be the most theatrical video recorded arrest in human history

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Less lethal just means more practice.

I'm seeing the video for the first time and discovered where was the beginning of this song sampled from: https://youtu.be/q07G2_zOEWA (badklaat - judo)

Interesting find.

Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.

Succulent with intent to commit wificide. That's a twelve twenty-seven. Book 'em!

Wasn't this a futurerama episode?

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002

What is this, Person of Interest?

[–] cuuube@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This is literally the plot of Psycho Pass. Highly recommend btw

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I thought it was a poke at Minority Report

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 3 points 8 months ago

its a one season show and that's it, imo

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago
