I'm trying to figure out this potato thing. Is it designed to be one of those jokes that starts out funny, immediately becomes so overused that it's not funny, then is overused ironically to become funnily unfunny? Is it like potatoception?
This post belongs in the potato thread.
Honestly though, I found it worked in real life to stop a person in their tracks to keep them from doing something extremely HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, as it forced them to do a double take and "Say what!?" in response.
No one stops what their doing when you flat out call them HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.
