I was listening to the 5:20 funnies on KMTT yesterday while doing battledriving into Seattle yesterday. One particular comment stuck me as extremely funny. (Did anyone get the comedian’s name?) Demetri MartinParaphrasing:
A sentence doesn’t sound intelligent when you preface it by the word “Dude.” Examples:“Dude, they’re isotopes!” “Dude, I’m so stoked about winning the Nobel Prize.” “Dude, I had to remove your kidney.”
ohmygod… this is cracking me up… so true so very true.
Dude, that’s hilarious and all too true.
After ‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ I forever hear Keanu Reeves preface each line with ‘dude’.
For example, from ‘The Matrix’:
Neo: “Dude, what are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?”
Or:
Morpheus: “How did I beat you?”
Neo: “Dude, you’re too fast.”
Cheers Dude,
:’)

Or for fans of The Apprentice: Dude, You’re Fired!
Hmmmm… trying to figure out which sounds more idiotic:
“I need those reports by lunchtime, yo.”
“Dude, I need those reports by lunchtime.”
Sad thing is, I’m guilty of both offenses.
[ducking for cover]
I think the “, yo” suffix is probably a little less intelligent than the “Dude, ” prefix. I shudder to think what happens when the streams cross. Using Hans’ example:
Morpheus: “How did I beat you?”
Neo: “Dude, you’re too fast, yo.”
Morpheus: thinking to self, “there was no purple pill” (kaboom)
Dude, the comedian is Demetri Martin; and dude, those arnt isotopes they’re kidney stones
the comedian that said “Dude, They’re Isotopes” was Demetri Martin
