So as you know, there are three types of badges, country province (or state) and town, I was wondering for borders that share towns, do they have different badges, for example: lets take Niagara Falls, there is the Canadian side and the new York side, does the NY side have their own badge or is it one big badge (I frequently the Canadian side a lot and was wondering if it was worth crossing the border for a badge)
While I have no clue how common this is in fandoms, one common thing I have noticed is sometimes when people who are huge fans of a certain media see someone else with any sort of merch of that media, chances are they will shout some sort of reference to them. While I don't know what this is called, I refer to it as "I'm in the know" calls as its their way of saying they also are a fan.
Some examples I can think of:
I have a demon slayer shirt when I went out wearing it, a guy shouted: "The upper moon is coming"
Another famous one: sometimes star Trek fans might say a Klingon sentence if they see a Trek shirt (kind of like what Steve Zahn does in Daddy Day care)
One time I went to school with a minion shirt, a friend's dad came up to me and did a minion imitation,
What kind of things like this happen in your fandom?
Whenever someone brings up the fact that people care more about you when you are gone/dead, they always almost bring up the legend of Van Gogh only selling one painting in his life but became well known during his death. (Interesting, this is only half true as while he only was confirmed to sell one painting, he did do a few commissions and barters). Anyway, I feel like Zellers is kind of like that in some way.
While I did sometimes enjoy going back in its heyday, when you boiled it down, it was pretty much Walmart meets Winners, nothing overly unique if you ask me.
However, when it finally went under in 2013 or so. Everyone was sad and was saying it was their 2nd home. It didn't even really have much fanfare before but then when the reopening happened last week, everyone lost their marbles. However, I still went since I work relitively close to it and let me tell you, it is NOTHING like the OG, if anything, it felt like if you took the front half of Walmart (like the clothes and food section) and made it into a whole store. Very basic. (the prices were good though).
I am going to be honest, if the OG Zellers never left and we were given this as a new location of the chain, it wouldn't get a whoop in hell, it only did now because of the rose goggles. Sheesh (I bet after three weeks everyone will move on)
In Storks, every time someone says "boss" they witness an imaginary explosion, in one scene JR tries doing it. No explosion
In a BMO Bank ad, a couple is wishing for better savings plan, they blink then theyre teleported to a BMO branch to discuss savings plans, then at rhe end of the ad they try to do it again, this time taking them to Jamaica 🇯🇲, theyre still at the branch
A running gag kn Pheneas and Ferb is the farmer's wife saying something wont fall from the sky then it doesn't, at one point she tries it with money but nothing happens
Slightly different but the same basic gag. Each episode of the electric company (the episodic one not the sketch one) starts with the character affected by the episode's problem shouting "Hey You Guys!!!" And then it cuts to the intro. The thing is, in one episode, Keith accidentally was frozen by Manny's magic remote, he tries to shout but nothing happens so Jessica, thinking his voice was just too muffled shouts for him. Still nothing happens, However after a few seconds, Lisa realizes the problem and tells Jessic (who the whole time was proudly nodding like "yeah, I just saved the day") that the reason it wasnt working was because they were already all together. No need to call out for anyone
This is just a silly little story.
A while back I saw a post about someone witnessing a prize robbery and I shared that around the same time of that post I was there and saw a guy grt busted for theft (if they were connected I dont know)
This is a little "insight" on that story.
So what happened was basically a plain clothed security guard came up to the guy and said he was under arrest, to which the guy just stared in confusion as if he didnt know what was going on.
The thing was. Since he was plain clothed at the time, I didnt know he was security so thought they were just being silly but then I saw his badge. Now I knew he was legit, however at first I thought it was some guy humor.
Once thing that I frequently see guys do is lets say they have been friends for years, one guy gets a job and the other does not. If the guy goes to meet his buddy on thr job, as soon as he sees him, he will say the most stereotypical thing about said job before they share a greeting. (Fun fact: growing up, one of my dads friends was a police officer and another was a transit guide and both did that kind of humor)
Because of that, I was about to snap a Pic or go up and say "good one" but then he calls for a uniformed guard then pins him and I thought "oh, its a real criminal" and just ran off.
Sorry for the rant, I just thought it was silly

Basically, when a character happily greets a bad guy then realizes they are bad right after
in the 2nd Dispicable me movie, when >!Nefario and El Macho!< are going around kidnapping the minions, one of the minions happily greets one of them then the camera zooms in on him quickly as he screams in fear

In Some Assembly Required, Jarvis pulls an answer cut when Malcom asks him how they are going to get a local fast food buisness to collab with him, it cuts to them at the restaraunt telling him they got them undercover jobs. However, while the viewer saw it as a cut, in-universe it was real time which leads to Malcom asking why Jarvis dragged the gang all the way over to the restaraunt and got them to suit up before telling them the plan.
A similar joke was used in Sonic Boom, When Amy is asked about her "cup of tea" she says litterally Tea, (again, in an answer cut) but to her and Sticks, it was an hour ago. But amy takes it one step further and says "imagine if you were an outside observer just watching pieces of the conversation"
In Born to be Wild, Spongebob needs to get to the Krusty Krab quickly so he uses the scene wipe to his advantage, Mr Krabs is left wondering how he got there so fast
In Fear of a Krabby Patty, there is a running gag where random things will fly by during passages of time sequences, when Old Man Walker appears, he questions why everything is floating
Instagram user Niksald was so down bad for Judy Hopps that Disney tried to ban him from the parks (although that might not have been entirely true)
Darius, the original discoverer of Fex got to appear in their music video
A slightly more niche example, YouTuber H Boy (or Mr. Light) is a veey vocal fan of Veronica Gomez, the fursona of Venezuelan furry artist e254e (or lenoe4e as he's called on X) eventually said artist did a cover for kne of his videos
Jacksepticeye played all of the Henry Stickmin games and even got a cameo on one of the games
Are the one liners before the ride starts scripted or ad ribbed? I have seen a few repeats (such as 3 different rides have used the "youre all clean and out of here" line) so I think they might be a mix of both but what is it?
In Hoodwinked, when Flippers is asked why he is called that and then it cuts to him dancing, before going back to him saying "no reason"
In SpongeBob, when Krabs asks what happened to Mr. Puff, it cuts to him as a taxidermy lamp, then SpongeBob says that Mrs Puff doesn't like talking aboit jt
Happens a couple times in some assembly required (usually overlapping with dramatic irony or a brick joke) where a character will ask how something happened then after the answer cut say that they'll never know
In the Princess and frog, when Lewis is saying he doesn't pay jazz anymore, it cuts to his last time and cuts to him just saying "it didnt end well"
In Dony Permedi's Kiwi! the titular character ties a bunch of trees to a mountain then jumps to simulate flying. its heavily implied the Kiwi likely didn't make the fall (he sadly closed his eyes and then you hear him go splat) however, many fans are trying to think of ways he might have surivied such as the "splat" actually being a parachute, however my favorite was one that said that if he had the strength to haul the trees up the hill, he was strong enough to not get hurt.
There is a small debate on whether or not the prop tower crushed prince charming in Shrek 3 (some say he died others say he survived) however, its made pretty obvious he surived as 1. he went through the window in the tower, 2. In the Thriller, after Shrek's dream he is in the background 3. In Carnival craze (which takes place after 3 as the babies are there) he goes to the carnival with them (although that might not be canon)
A somewhat sad example in Rachel Kempf & Nick Toti's Dead Grandma, it is revealed that Pauline died while looking after her grandson and even worse, his parents are on a retreat meaning that they won't be found for "a couple of weeks" however, lots of viewers are pointing out ways they might be discovered such as one that Pauline was expecting a bridge team to come visit her and another was a neighbour that wanted to meet the grandson. However my theory is as follows: The daughter said she was trying to reach her mother and son before she went on the retreat which means she hasn't gone yet, there is a chance she might try again just before she leaves
Out of the 11 pre-six flags cedar parks, the one that is the most like Canada's Wonderland (according to most reviewers) is King's Island and King's Dominon (they even visually look similar in photos). However, one major difference (other than location obviously) is the food that everyone gets excited about. at CW its the funnel cake and at KI its the blue ice cream. Interestingly, Canada's Wonderland also has the blue ice cream and I even tried it a few days ago. It was pretty good but one thing I wonder, considering how much they talk about it at King's Island (They say its famous, they have a whole merch line based on it, they even have a whole page dedicated to it on their website) you'd think they would also chat about it here but interestingly, its not really cared about. I occasionally see people with one but other than that nothing. It does not even have as many spots you can get it (three shops sell it at King's but only one at Wonderland does).
Is there something special about the Ohio one that is not in the Canadadian one or did it just get overshadowed by the funnel cakes?
Would this be considered a fourth wall break?
in DHMIS 4, now used to the random teachers, the MCs try to summon one by repetedly saying they want to learn about the world and then stare at the globe thinking its going to be their teacher >!but instead its their computer !<
In Family Guy, Stewie shouts "oh no oh no oh no" to trick the kool aid man into showing up so he can smack him
Its more a gag about a feature than a gag within the show itself, one of the Airwick motion sensor spray ads shows a woman setting up the device and later in the ad the husband tries to set it off on purpose but it does not work (showing off the anti waste feature)
In the Storks movie, every time the boss mentions a promotion, the character he is talking to explodes then reforms, at one point Andy tries to replicate the feeling by slowly shouting the word "boss" (as the boss did every other time the gag happened) but it doesnt work
I mean KPDH is a bit mo
A while back I posted a theory where I believed that the Fairy godmother wasnt the witch that cursed Fiona but instead FG heard about the curse and used it to her advantage instead. This theory will delve in to the Witxh's identity. In the 2nd movie, there are several posters on the wall of past FG customers, one of which is of a girl named Tabatha who FG helped become a real with. My theory is that she was a customer around the same time as Harold and while his price was having Charming marry Fiona, Tabatha's price was using her new witch powers to Curse Fiona leading to the main Shrek plot
