“There’s no hope of my beating any sense into you, but I’ll knock some of the ignorance out of you!”

-Everett True

Sometimes Everett’s angry chastising gets downright poetic. Here he throws out a one-liner worthy of an 80’s action movie, all because of a messy banana eater.

Where did the idea of slipping on banana peels even come from?

You ever step on one?

I set one up and pretended to slip on it as a joke, well, until my foot hit it and my head was instantly on the ground.

Turned out WAY funnier than what I had planned.

Next time tuck your chin. Also, slap the ground instead of trying to catch yourself. Couple times a week, practice a couple of these, until they become second nature:

No joke, everyone should learn to fall.

I learned so much from this, dang.

I tried it a few times as a kid and nobody found it slippery.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Must have got a bad banana.

I’ve read that it’s a visual euphemism for slipping on horseshit.

Pocket full of bananas, potassium for days, unbothered just living his dream.

He's rested, hydrated and glowing.

Wait till you see what he does to the guy throwing red shells!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Hah! Come to think of it, Everett has that “blue shell” vibe. Coming out of nowhere to absolutely flatten someone

Why are these SOOOO good???

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For the same reason that Donald Duck is so much cooler than Mickey Mouse.

.......but Everett IS wearing pants!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Littering, man. Litterers make me Everett.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah but at least it's biodegradable. I'd rather see people do stuff like that than see people throwing plastic bags and bottles and whatnot.

That quote sounds like a translated subtitle from a Hong Kong kickflick.
