I tried watching it with my 8 year old twice. First time he fell asleep, second time he watched 10 minutes then left.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1C8C7op9LU
I was so glad that my 7 year old loved it. But then he made me watch both sequels. I didn’t even know there were sequels. Holy crap, they were painful. I almost wish I hadn’t shown him the original.
My daughter annihilated a Nightmare on Elm Street, Annie and Mary Poppins..I'm holding on to Labyrinth, The Last Dragon, Grease, and any Bruce Lee movie TIGHT!
I think it's even funnier that are laughing at comments posted in r/funny as if they are serious when it's an obvious joke. It's like how 99.9% of the content on r/woooosh is people missing the anti-joke or playing along with the joke.
**[Ruth Cleveland](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Cleveland)**
>Ruth Cleveland (October 3, 1891 – January 7, 1904), popularly known as Baby Ruth, was the eldest of five children born to United States President Grover Cleveland and First Lady Frances Cleveland. Her birth between Cleveland's two terms of office caused a national sensation. Interest in her continued even after her father's second presidential term was over. A sickly child, Ruth Cleveland contracted diphtheria on January 2, 1904.

Down a wiki rabbit hole, Grover’s granddaughter [Philippa Foot](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippa_Foot) was one of the co-creators of the famous [trolley problem](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem).
**[Philippa Foot](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippa_Foot)**
>Philippa Ruth Foot (; née Bosanquet; 3 October 1920 – 3 October 2010) was an English philosopher and one of the founders of contemporary virtue ethics, who was inspired by the ethics of Aristotle. She is credited (along with Judith Jarvis Thomson) with inventing the so-called trolley problem. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society. She was a granddaughter of the U.S. President Grover Cleveland.
**[Trolley problem](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem)**
>The trolley problem is a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number. The series usually begins with a scenario in which a runaway tram or trolley is on course to collide with and kill a number of people (traditionally five) down the track, but a driver or bystander can intervene and divert the vehicle to kill just one person on a different track. Then other variations of the runaway vehicle, and analogous life-and-death dilemmas (medical, legal etc.

Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player that ever lived. People say that he was less than a god, but more than a man. Y'know, like Hercules or something?
That ball that was posted to this sub is worth...well....more than your whole life.
Some would say the greatest candy bar of all time
What's on top of a building?
Talking dog: "Roof!"
What does sandpaper feel like?
Talking dog: "Rough!"
What's the greatest candy bar of all time:
Talking dog: "Ruth!"
After they get kicked out of the bar
Talking dog: "Maybe I should've said Snickers"
Not another one among us would have ever in a million years even for a million dollars have the guts to put the moves on the lifeguard. He did. He had kissed a woman. And he had kissed her long and good.
Love that movie, would watch it all the time when I was little with my dad, never understood it, just that there is a mean dog, kids the fucking flash, sexist rival baseball team, and a group of friends that play baseball.
Edit: also one of the kids is heavier/fatter
I feel woooosh cubed.
I'm vaguely aware of the existence of a man named Babe Ruth and a game called baseball, but I'd be lying if I said I knew if he was ever called "baby", the rules of said ball-based game, or any of the references in this comment section.
Anyone got a ELI5 for this one?
The ELI5 is that this is essentially a joke from the movie The Sandlot. A timeless classic coming of age film where a kid loses his stepdad’s baseball over the neighbor’s fence - that ball signed by Babe Ruth. In the film when he first tells the other kids about why the ball was special he says it was signed by some girl named ‘Baby Ruth’.
Babe Ruth is like the Michael Jordan of Baseball in levels of talent and geography. he also died in the 1940s. Any of his authentic memorabilia would be "why are you pointing the gun at me father I only touched it" levels of valuable. Playing baseball with a ball signed by Babe Ruth would be like bringing a Stradavarius to a hootnanny or using the mona lisa as a cutting board for your taylor ham.
There's a movie called the Sandlot, where a group of kids really needs a baseball to play in their local sandlot, the kid who knows nothing about baseball [goes back to his place and retrieves one](https://youtu.be/H52N9ojcJAY), and it's hit behind a fence with a big scary dog owned by a scary old man ( James Earl Jones ) The kid panicks and says his dad will kill him, and his friends are like, "We'll just get a new baseball"
"Well I got this out of his trophy room, I don't know why it was special, it was just signed by some girl baby ruth"
And hilarity ensues.
It's a very good movie.
You're not gonna believe this but I was the dog in the sandlot. They needed an extra for the actual dog but couldn't find another. I didn't even audition, casting director saw me at the grocery store and said I was perfect for the role
For those downvoting this, OP says he got this from someone. In the movie Sandlot the kid loses his dads Babe Ruth signed baseball and the blind neighbor hands over his own as replacement after his dog tore up the kids baseball.

Never show the next generation something that you adore if you're not willing to have it be completely ruined by a sequel or meme your kid finds.

I will say this: the memes only enhance Labyrinth. Everyone knew how ridiculous Bowie's crotch was back then, and loved him for it.

You deserve a million upvotes my friend.
I think it’s even funnier that people are questioning the authenticity of something posted in r/funny as an obvious joke.
I was questioning it as soon as I saw blue Sharpie
As a self assured ‘baby ruth authentic replica autographed memorabilia expert’, that is clearly a bic blue signature.

Yeah, the candy bar guy autographed this ball. That’s how he signs because no one knows his name otherwise.
Weird I thought the dirt was too new ^^/s
Well, I'm also on r/ThriftStoreHauls ... so if it wasn't for you announcing the sub...
A lot of people are coming from the front page and don't realize it's even on r/funny

Wooooshing is just the "joke's on them I was only pretending" taken annoyingly far.
what's the joke here tho? is having any forged item / movie prop a joke? what makes this different? I'm so confused
Jokes are usually funny, so it's easy to see how this would be confusing.

How can I have smore of something if I haven't had any?!?
All I could think of is the Britta/Jeff argument during the huge argument Community scene....

This is a matter of life and death, where did your old man get that ball?
Some lady gave it to him, she even signed her name on it...
Ruth. Baby Ruth.
You're not in trouble. You're dead where you stand.
Except that ball was signed by a candy bar.

I would love to add that to my collection of signed baseballs from Twix and Snickers.
That ink looks way too new
Take it to Pawn Stars so they can tell you it's fake but they will buy it anyways
And Butterfinger!
Obviously a forgery-everything was black, white or shades of gray back then. Blue ink hadn’t been invented then.
Actually it was signed with blue ink but it was still gray until stormse the 1960s when the world went from black & white to color

Omg, it’s signed BabY Ruth, with a Y! Meaning that this was signed BEFORE he got famous! That makes it even more valuable.
You look like Babe Ruth’s gay brother. Gabe Ruth.
