At this point I am beyond impressed with his ability to reference anything and everything from the Simpsons as long as it's relevant to the topic of conversation.
@@The_child-catcher No, I mean Fringy literally stole this from the TFA Plinkett review. Plinkett references that exact same Simpsons episode and scene in that review.
When the plot has so many holes in it it starts to look like swiss cheese and but the smallest of criticism can bring int all down what do some do to fix that? Denial, Denial, Denial.
Kinda makes me think of the saying "never look a gift horse in the mouth", as in "its free, dont be picky". All I ever thought of that was, "Well, what if its a shitty horse? I mean, sure, its free, but why would I willingly take a horse that might do nothing but drain my resources? Who in their right mind would do that?" Just because its free doesnt mean its good or that people should just take it without asking questions. Its the same with nitpicking. Just because its a small detail doesnt mean it should be ignored. Because, sometimes, it might actually impact how everything else works. Especially if there are a LOT of "nitpicks".
There's a saying about gifting a white elephant. It's basically something given to you that is nothing but a burden and for some reason you can't give it back.
I'm not sure the gift horse thing would apply here. I would imagine that that phrase originated 150 or more years ago, when having a horse could be useful in a lot of ways, and depending on your profession would be the difference between whether you could make a living or not. In that sense, I've taken the phrase to mean "don't be mean/critical of someone offering to help you or do something nice for you." But this? Falcon and the Winter Soldier -- heck, pretty much everything from Marvel Phase 4 except Spider Man: No Way Home? These aren't nice or helpful, or even good. We don't want this. Nobody in their right mind should want this. The white elephant idiom fits better here.
@@insulttothehumanrace3807 maybe i'm wrong but i thought it was that Julius Caesar got gifted a horse, and then rejected it after he looked at it's mouth or something like that
@@insulttothehumanrace3807 No, it still applied back then. The easiest way to tell a horse's age is looking at the horse's teeth. Unlike people us, horse teeth constantly grow, and such leave tell tai growth and wear marks. Horses live for about 25-35 years, but for most work purposes, most are past their prime after they are 15 years old. So "looking at a gift horse in the mouth" is basically seeing how old the horse is.
A really strong analogy from EFAP. I would extrapoliate this by saying flaws and damages, vary depending on context and scope. Like for example, the hallway being small represents a plot that makes no sense or characters acting inconsistent; where as something like a section of wall chipped or painted incorrectly would be more reminiscent of a nitpick in that they don't affect the overall foundation of said house. They are a nitpick in that they are a valid flaw you can go after, but they don't subjectively for me affect the movie. It's why I can enjoy Fellowship of the ring while pointing out the smokestack of the car in the distance when Frodo and Sam are living the shire in the field. And why I can say I adore Aquaman but admitting how garbage it is as a movie for its plot and characters. Namely, for the superfical imagery and seeing what it could have been. Rather than what it should have been. And why that motivates me to really pay attention to my own work, making sure it's as good as possible.

Fringy's mind is like an encyclopedia of Simpsons knowledge.
Just goes to show an encyclopedic knowledge of just about _any_ worthwhile field of information is going to return in spades, even cartoon knowledge.

This is lifted straight from a Mr. Plinkett review.
@@spenser9908 I guess fringy would be Mike. Would that make raggs Jay and mauler Rich?

I remember thinking that this was an excellent analogy. I'm glad that, weeks later, it holds up better than Ned's house did.
The painted dirt is especially apt because of how proud Moe was of their "problem solving."
That analogy is so fucking perfect.
Whenever something is bad, this going to be my new response: "What do you think of the house that _love_ built?"
I'll be saving this for future reference.
I remember this happening on stream but forgot where it was, and man it is a good way of explaining this.
But have you ever considered the themes
2:15 “Ah, yes. The floor here isn’t made out of floor.”
"Well, what do you think of the show that passion made" ~ Falcon&Winter Soldier stans
When the plot has so many holes in it it starts to look like swiss cheese and but the smallest of criticism can bring int all down what do some do to fix that?
Denial, Denial, Denial.
Remember, it was a straw that broke the Camel’s back.

Not to mention there's an entirely separate figure of speech that shows why you should ask questions about this -- the White Elephant.

this is a great analogy for what EFAP does.
I keep rewatching this stream. Masterful.
What do you think of the genocide that love built?
Jesus. Falcon and the winter Soldier was 10 months ago
Replace good intentions with bad intentions and this is a perfect analogy.

Good work man
That house was barely habitable.
but they built it to be barely habitable
or
how did it make you... FEEL?
or
yeah, Ned got subverted right?
Oh you’re film is a mess but I can never blame you because you have GOOOOOD intentions
oh shit I forgot I subscribed to you long ago. let me fix that.
edit: Notifications are on now =)
I can't pay bills with karma.
He stole this entire analogy from Mr. Plinkett.
@Bill Clinton Enjoyer Do you know what the word “analogy” means?
A real "Simpsons did it!" moment. Ironic
