Colin RRRobinson…don’t like the fellow, can’t stand the man but I’m proud to say he’s my favorite.
I’ve been on a constant binge repeat watch of the show for the past week and I’m starting to think the show is really about him.
Fucking love his dry humor! I see myself in all of them but his random trivia knowledge and humor is def me.
However…
S3 E9 - A Farewell.
In the cold opening, he comes down the stairs to Nandor caged and says “What we've got here is failure to communicate!" A clear and obvious movie reference and fails to cite it like he usually does!
It irritated me so much because I know the quote and I’ve heard it throughout my life and until that moment of the show I never cared where it came from and expecting Colin to tell me… “Spoken by the Captain (Strother Martin) in the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke.”
I had to google it…
Anyways, stoned appreciation/annoyance rant over.
