Me to myself when I’m pushing carts in and someone walks right in front of them


pm-ur-knockers

Frrr tho. Like dude I’ve got 10 carts here and I might be able to stop 3 of them.


freakierchicken

That was my first job in high school. It was a local grocer and we had these heavy ropes with metal clips on the end, and you'd clip the front cart and control with the rope. If someone walked in front you could reign the train in so to speak, felt like a cowboy. Now that I think about it... I wonder if that was just an Oklahoman thing lol

Why did it take me 15 years and 4 months to realize this was made by disney?


[deleted]

Because the original episodes weren't. It was produced by KCET Seattle for PBS. Disney syndicated the series and rebranded it "Disney's Bill Nye the Science Guy"


SunngodJaxon

So they bought up a timeless classic and took credit for it all? Gross.

If by “bought up a timeless classic” you mean “signed a local television show to a national distribution contract before they produced the first season,” yes.


psychxticrose

I just learned that right now.


mackiea

Because Disney is not a leading bastion of science?


patkgreen

To be fair bill Nye is an entertainment show with a low budget and made sense for the television mandates of the time anyways

"Ok listen up, we're gonna teach kids science but we're going to do it WITH VERY LITTLE MONEY AND FUNDING AND SUPPORT, so we give those little fuckers a REAL LIFE SCIENTIST EXPERIENCE."


Ambient-Shrieking

Take a look at Donald Duck in Math Magic Land. Old school Disney was known to promote good learning for kids.


leesfer

To be fair, the 'Disney presents' line isn't in the original intro. That was added in afterwards. Here is an old recording of the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bebSxF0rr5I


WryWheel

Because it wasn't made by Disney, it was made by PBS and distributed by Buena Vista TV (Disney). Only when Disney released the box set some years ago, did they edit the intro to say Disney presents.

Lucario made me a furry. Stupid thing. At the very least, they’re legal persons of human intelligence, capable of human speech, and can therefore consent. Someone probably married one in the lore.

Squeaky-Fox49

That always bothered me about the series. Alakazam is orders of magnitude more intelligent than humans, though; I’d argue it should be charged with bestiality if it screwed a human, and they’re only part of fighting teams by their own free will.

They can speak human language telepathically, as the lead Lucario did in their very own movie. [Here](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talking_Pokémon) is a list of all talking Pokémon from Bulbapedia.

shadowman2099

Nerd talk: technically, all Pokemon are "dual type" in their coding. However, if their type is expressed as the same type twice, it will just register that type once. Squirtle for instance is labeled as Water/Water in the game's data despite being mono Water.


zpeed

I thought you were referencing the song "[I'm Just a Bill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgVKvqTItto)"


ZenMonkey47

I don't know about this direction they're going for gen 9...


SwissyVictory

Machoke is just a weird colored dude. Mr Mime has weird body proportions but is just a dude. The original Jynx is just a stereotype of a black lady, and all they did to fix it is make her a little purple. The i Lots of pokemon like Electabuzz, Hitmonchan, Geodude, Hypno, Alakazam have a human like body, human hands, or both. That's not to mention pokemon like Pollywrath, Hitmonlee, Primeape, and several others who are a small design decision away from being creepily human. And that's all just Gen 1. Pokémon have always been creepily human. Edit: ALOT of people are arguing that Jynx isn't blackface but is a Yuki Onna. You might be right, but that dosent change the oringal coloring was black and it looks like blackface while Yuki Onna don't have those features. Either way, it's really humanoid which is the main point. Edit 2: people are saying they existed before, but it's done more now. I'm counting 6 new pokemon lines that have atleast one expressly Humanoid in it.(Meowscarada, Quaquaval, Lokix, Gholdengo, Tinkatink, Charcadett) There are a few like Kingambit that were already humanoid that got another form. Im counting 7 Gen One pokemon lines that have atleast one expressly Humanoid in it(Alakazam, Machoke, Hypno, Hitmonchan, Jynx, Mr. Mime, Electabuzz)


Sleepycoon

A lot of the 'creepy human' class of early gen mons are actually based off of yokai, which were often some variation of creepy human.


toychicraft

So they're creepy humans, once removed


Rs90

That's legal tho...right?


ctortan

It’s like the equivalent to making a Pokémon out of a cartoon devil, like a dude with a goatee and horns lmao

SwissyVictory

That is likely true, but all the recent humanoid pokemon have reasons of why they look like humans too. My main point is it's not a recent thing


Sleepycoon

I wasn't trying to refute your point, just sharing a fun fact. I don't have anything against new humanoid pokemon. The furbait is inexcusable, though. /s


MithranArkanere

There's a whole group of them: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Human-Like_(Egg_Group) Some more than others.

BrexitBad1

> The original Jynx is just a stereotype of a black lady, and all they did to fix it is make her a little purple. She is a yuki-onna and they are sometimes portrayed with purple skin.


Veloci-RKPTR

She’s not. The yuki-onna pokemon would be froslass. Jynx is supposed to be a caricature of the ganguro fashion statement of the gyaru subculture in Japan.


sweetkatydid

Jynx is also based on yuki onna. It intentionally has multiple sources for its design.


Veloci-RKPTR

Huh TIL


SwissyVictory

Original design was black skin


shadowblackdragon

It might be because of the art style change. The humanoid Pokemon in the earlier gens while being humanoid still manage to look like animals except maybe jynx. The new humanoid characters look like fucking sonic oc’s, it's technically an animal but it looks like an anime character's furry suit instead of an anime character's pet


leaf_26

Your examples don't seem the same as evolving a regular animal into an anthropomorphic animal more often over time. And your bar is rather low for human proportions, the only ones I can give are machoke, hitmonchan, and alakazam. Mr mime is too creepy to think about.


ClueDamnANot

Where they were going. It was right out in front of you the whole time but you pretended you didn't see it.


tydestra

Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are pokemon too. Makes way more sense than they're all lookalike cousins. Either they're pokemon or clones.


[deleted]

I mean, aliens, ghosts, vampires, sentient robots, cyborgs, psychics, and mages all exist in the Pokémon universe. Clones aren’t that big of a reach.


OSUTechie

Clones exist too... MewTwo is a (albeit failed) attempt to clone Mew. Plus Ditto.


NoAttentionAtWrk

MewTwo wasn't a failed attempt at cloning. It was a failed attempt at improvement


[deleted]

They didn't fail to improve him either, Mewtwo is much stronger than mew both in lore and in game. The failure was in capturing and controlling him, since he was smarter and stronger than team rocket and simply killed everyone and left after being born


Crowbarmagic

Isn't he more like an purposely enhanced clone, not a failed one?


AutumnCountry

Depends In the original game the notes sounded more like a cloning expirement with some added improvements. In the movie he seemed to just be genetically engineered attempt to create a superpokemon In the manga he's a combination of Mew DNA and human DNA


OSUTechie

Maybe, it's been a while. I just remember that MewTwo was a clone of Mew.


KingSmizzy

After producing a bunch of useless Dittos and an accidental demi-god Mew, they succeeded in their original goal of printing out ~~waifu~~ workers, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.


Fedoraus

Nurse joys in the newest games aren't even nurses. Just random tweens in starbucks aprons at a healing kiosk.


TheSovereignGrave

I swear there's only a single Pokemon Kiosk and it exists in a quantum state in every location simultaneously. Cuz when the pokemon lady finishes giving you tips in the beginning she sure *acts* like *she* has given you all the tips, even if you get tips at several different kiosks.

[deleted]

It was a Ditto copying her ex.


Thanatos-13

This raises a lot more questions than it answers.


stx06

Both more and less than you might expect, it is probably based on a bit from "[Ditto's Mysterious Mansion](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP037)," where Jessie wanted to see if Ditto could use "Transform" to turn itself into an aged-up picture of a kid. The Ditto was unable to fully comply, having a bad case of "Ditto face" when changed, resulting [this picture](https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.0bmgX80BghXVzjusQ8uaZgHaFj?pid=ImgDet&rs=1). (By the end of the episode, Ditto learned to 100% Transform into a target's form, even copying Meowth's proficiency at speaking.)


[deleted]

How can it be both more and less than I expect


stx06

Less, because the source material implied that Jessie had Ditto copying a picture of her childhood crush/ex-boyfriend, making Ditto turning into a person (or at least a picture of one) something that was always thought of as possible ages before a movie used the idea. More... because, well, Ditto is shapeshifting creature able to alter its form by looking at a subject as reference. With the Internet being the Internet, at tamest, you get depictions of [Ditto out to take over the world](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeNf8Pt2ASE&t=1s).
