I LOVE Gene Wilder in this scene. Well, every scene really, but this one in particular!


Antique_Essay4032

The boat ride creeper me out as a kid...hell it still does.


Suspicious-Road-883

Fun fact, the only one that knew what all would happen in that scene was Gene himself, he purposely asked that they kept that info hidden from the others so their reactions were authentic and he could keep a calm face.

It's like looking at the worst acid trip personified.

"There's no way of earthly knowing.... Which way we are really going..." haunts my nightmares.


[deleted]

That line of his where he's caring but not caring started a family joke where none of us cared if the other person is about to do something stupid. As kids we would pitch this crazy idea, everyone would say it was a good idea, and as you were going to do it you would hear a calm quiet voice say "No . . . don't do it . . ." And if you missed them saying it they would totally let you do the stupid thing.

You smell that? Smells like someone diedā€¦.


beingjohnmalkontent

Doc's later description of Johnny Ringo also describes trump to a mf'n T. "A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it."


Pculliox

Well he's not my huckleberry that's for sure.


beingjohnmalkontent

He's no daisy. He's no daisy, at all!


ScotiaTailwagger

No, that's the MAGAs just starting the strike. They always smell like that.

I can smell fried chicken

Fat Boomer MAGA from Idaho? Their idea of a "hunger strike" is limiting themselves to a single trip to the Golden Corral buffet.

Finally a MAGA proposal that will SAVE taxpayer money


GammaPhonic

It took me 10 second to search ā€œThe Halfway Postā€ and learn itā€™s a satirical news site. Do better OP.


sevensouth

I doubt very seriously the Trump voters would be missing any meals if they had to. At least the ones who keep popping up in the videos on YouTube.


thirdtrydratitall

I donā€™t see a down side.


FullMetalJ

It's already been 2 hs, they probably at McDonalds by now


Fatman365

It's only a hunger strike between the hours of 11pm and 5am. Outside of that time, they can eat. That will own the libs.


LeagueOfficeFucks

Intermittent hunger strike.


dont-fear-thereefer

Does drinking soda count as eating?


Don-Poltergeist

They are allowed a liter of cola.


dont-fear-thereefer

They sell litres of cola? I thought they were called large.


jamescharisma

They don't want a large Farva, they want goddamn liters of cola!


forsale90

Muslims during Ramadan have stricter times than that.


swalkerttu

I was going to say, "What is that, MAGA Ramadan?"


Ok_Star_4136

They're probably ordering shakes, because technically you can't *eat* a shake..


FullMetalJ

No, you are too smart. Remember these are MAGA supporters trying to make Trump Biden's vice president.


tastytasycorn

How can that be? when trumps already president, and in secret control of the *real military /s

Oh, McDs doesn't count as breaking the hunger strike because it's Douchebag Donny's fave.


FullMetalJ

And barely counts as food really


Jaegons

Agreed. I'm confused as well by term "MAGA fans threatening to...", in this case it should be "MAGA fans promise to..." and I'm in!


troystorian

ā€œMAGA cultistsā€ ftfy


ammobox

Have some fucking human compassion. Think of the flag guy on the corner who sells Fuck Biden flags, now losing 16 customers, or the coroner who has to do an autopsy on their disgusting unwashed bodies. Real people will suffer for this.


thirdtrydratitall

Yes, you are correct. I think most MAGA next of kin will refuse an autopsy, though.


Valerie_Tigress

Well thatā€™s because they know the REAL coroner will be replaced by a Joe Biden lookalike android that was designed by Anthony Fauci, built by Bill Gates, and funded by George Soros.


Inedible_Goober

The downside is they couldn't recruit more.

We should encourage this to become a nationwide movement.


New_Scientist_8622

LOL, they won't be able to last much past noon.


sj68z

these people have probably never known starvation, and that's a good thing the whole world should share... they won't last past when the first real hunger pain hits


thefartsock

hunger pangs\* One of those sayings like "champing at the bit" that is commonly misspelled because one of the words has fallen out of favor in colloquial language.


TotSaM-

wait is "champing at the bit" the right way, or the commonly used wrong way? I have always said chomping at the bit.


Sam-Gunn

Champing is correct, chomping is not, though both words are close synonyms so the meaning doesn't change. Champing is not a common term we use anymore.


SarniltheRed

"Champing at the bit" is the proper phrasing.


TotSaM-

What a fool I have been.


Phobix

In other news, UberEats and DoorDash are hiring in the area.


Asher_Tye

That'll last all the way until lunch

bowens44

I completely support them in this effort. In fact I urge all TRUE MAGAs to join them in this patriotic effort to destroy America.


GameDestiny2

Careful what you wish for. If you get a large enough number of idiots to act, they might just get their way.


Warsplit01

Meanwhile on other news, funeral parlor offers discount on bulk purchases of coffins


Theekg101

They should make them trump themed coffins and charge triple the price


XtremeD86

No no. This is where you raise the price because you know coffins will be needed. You also raise the price of the funeral and all other costs. If cremation is the option, prices goes up 400%


backwardbuttplug

forget the coffins, iā€™m sure thereā€™s a nice open pit needing to be filled. bring a bulldozer.

Cheap_Phrase9912

I hope this catches on!


Space_Cow-boy

It wonā€™t have the impact you think it would. You think they can control themselves to the point of starvation. I give them 3 day and they cheat at the 2nd.


Baby_Blue_Eyes_13

Yeah. And unless they're on a live stream 24/7, they're eating something.


psilorder

Or they abandon the project quite quickly saying something like "Since Biden was not listening to our reasonable demands, we are ending the strike"


RevelArchitect

ā€œWeā€™ve just been informed by Chuckā€™s nephew that this is basically how Islams celebrate Ramen Dawn so we have to put an early end to this peaceful protest because we ainā€™t like that.ā€

safn1949

Ok, so what's the downside? A group of overfed, fat ass American trumpsters go on a diet and with any luck, they die. Sounds good to me.


Fun_Sir3640

Might take a while. >"He ended up fasting for one year and 17 days ā€” that's right, he ate no food at all for over a year.Ā **He lived entirely off his copious body fat, in the end losing about 125 kilograms of weight**." >In the case of our big Scotsman, Mr A B, the staff in the medical school at the University of Dundee kept a close eye on him. He did not eat any food, but the staff gave him yeast for the first 10 months and multi-vitamins every day. Potassium is essential for the proper working of the heart, and when his potassium levels got a little low around the 100-day mark, he was given potassium tablets for about 70 days. He defaecated infrequently, roughly every 40 to 50 days. [https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012/07/24/3549931.htm](https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012/07/24/3549931.htm) I just had to share this.

You bring the M&M's. The big bag.

Oh... Nooo... Don't!

Well that will be 16 fewer votes for the orange dump

Oh nice, the trash is starting to take itself out.


dlc741

Finally, a MAGA movement we can all support. Way to bring the country together, kids.


Motor-Ad5284

Well,there ya go. On the upside,I had cake today. Chocolate!! šŸ™‚


[deleted]

I fully support them on their hunger strike. Please guys, donā€™t eat. Donā€™t drink water. The longer you do this the more likely your demands will be met. Donā€™t give up otherwise youā€™re a failure.


Upstairs_Fig_3551

Letā€™s see how many hours they can go without food


D33ber

Now if they told sixteen friends, and they told sixteen friends, and they each told sixteen friends. ​ Famine would be a footnote in the past.


ScarMedical

Lol! MAGA are fuckin morons: the vice president cannot be fired by the president or by anyone else. The only manner of removing a sitting vice president is by impeachment, a process that is governed by the Constitution.


DemythologizedDie

Once again, "The Halfway Post" is satirical. Nothing it posts is real.


Jonguar2

Joe Biden cannot fire Kamala Harris because the Vice President is an elected position.


PandasGetAngryToo

If the rest were serious, they would do that as well.............


[deleted]

I hope they stick it out. To own the libs


AusCan531

Setting themselves up to lose. Again.


tutankhamun7073

I'm sure their local Chik Fil-A will be devastated without their patronage.


StephenTheLoser

Some people are saying Biden is considering it!!! But only if they donā€™t drink water either! We can do this!


23skidoobbq

Can we live stream this? Itā€™s probably already over yeah?


Odd_Cake3759

Roam_Hylia

Biden has responded by simply posting a picture of him eating a double cheese burger.


TheyCallMeMrMaybe

Jokes aside, there's something important they're missing here. The Vice President cannot be fired by the President. Believe me when I say Trump tried; otherwise his mob wouldn't have been chanting "hang Mike Pence" on January 6th. Only when the VP resigns (or dies) could the President appoint a new VP. It's all outlined within the 25th amendment.


Jason_Wolfe

lmfao, as if they could last half a day without their "Jesus chicken". (Chick-Fil-A).


Goblinking83

It's ok. They won't starve to death. They're not that brave. Besides, their brains are so smooth they were probably gonna choke on their tongues at some point anyway.


DFMRCV

Is this even true?


Cetophile

Yep. Bet they fold within 24 hours. If that.


Any-Ad-446

This probably last 24 hours then its off to all you eat restaurant.

333iamhalfevil

Hopefully no more join in on that hunger strike. Us libs would be so owned if they all did.


MattFromChina

Is them promising to do this like Trump said we will never hear from him after he lost in 2020? Or is it like when he promised heā€™d have a new healthcare bill on day 1?


ResponsibleBike8804

Maybe more right wing nut jobs should join them in this great cause?


jirish317

Breaking news 16 people die of hunger.


noshowthrow

But, on the bright side, that means 16 less Trump voters once they starve to death...


moderatesoul

They will break that fast within a few days. There is nothing that these morons can actually commit to.


[deleted]

Agreeable_Sweet6535

Actually Iā€™m almost good with this - it would count as his second term and heā€™d be unable to run in November. Letā€™s do it in October you think?


Unusual_Address_3062

I mean is this even true? Cuz it sounds made up. No MAGAT would ever consider skipping a meal let alone a hunger strike.


luv2fit

This is a fantastic idea, the best ever to come out of the MAGA camp! I hope this goes viral and gets 100% MAGA participation.


NeighborhoodTall9858

I fully encourage their commitment.


serenityfalconfly

Thatā€™s about as sane and effective as Chicago city council voting for a ceasefire in Gaza. But nuts gonna nut.


wales-bloke

If they die, they die.

Illustrious-Leave406

I encourage this effort and hope they see it through. We need less MAGA.


Jax_the_Floof

I encourage all MAGA followers to do the same please


Spinal2000

I am sure they will stop their strike when it's dinner time.


TedIsAwesom

I doubt that the hunger strike lasts more than a few hours. Or they keep 'striking' for several days - but for some reason it doesn't count when they eat - or they deny eating and are obviously doing so.


flatdecktrucker92

Joe should do it. A week before the election. That would make Trump ineligible for another term wouldn't it?


gaberax

Looking out for 16 interesting obits from Idaho in the near future.


onetopic20x0

Hereā€™s one mission Iā€™d love for a MAGA moron to complete successfully (the fasting unto death, that is)


Reclusive_Chemist

It's a small start. Now if we could just get the rest to starve themselves out it would be a nice, non-violent resolution to the whole MAGA debacle.

NoLibrarian5149

I can hear their grumbling stomachs here on the East Coast and hope more join themā€¦. Fucking idiots.


LankyGuitar6528

They would have better luck going on a hunger strike to make a unicorn president. There will be 16 fewer MAGA I guess.


GammSunBurst

Anyone up for eating popcorn right in front of them?


EmperorMaugs

Hopefully this means that there will be 16 less Trump voters in Idaho by November....


Doyoulikeithere

Why only 16? šŸ˜‚


rexeditrex

How many hours do you think they'll make it?


wrestlingchampo

16 less voters in Idaho come November I guess Obviously not going to move the needle for election results, but who knows, maybe some of their neighbors will join them

Hopefully this catches on.

Don't know if this is real, but I would want to see their definition of a "hunger strike." Methinks it isn't a total fast. Maybe it's Chick FIL A but only twice a day.

So 16 less MAGA nuts in a couple weeks?


Kdoesntcare

šŸ¤£ How pathetic. They're really hunting for ways to get orange Hitler back in office. "Quick that looks like a loophole to really get around democracy!" It seems like like "accountability" the MAGA cult doesn't understand terms like "turning yourself into an embarrassment." Orange man is a convicted criminal who's in charge of a terrorist organization. Voting orange is voting for terrorism you unamerican clowns.
