    Even the stuff for alcohol can be excessive. I went to Chicago a while ago and they asked a man with greying hair for ID when he wanted to buy… like… dude, he was clearly over 21.

      I think they literally have to swipe the ID every x number of purchases or something. Probably varies state by state though.

        Doyle was the high school star
        Everybody thought he’d go real far But he didn’t take a thing from the classes he took Because he just wasn’t interested in his books
        🎶

        I still say “holy cremola” when I’m shocked. People think it’s a Batman reference, but I learnt it from Doyle!

    They used the same song for the 2017 reboot, so that wouldn’t work. (Same lyrics, new recording.)

      It’s time for Animaniacs. And we’re zany to the max. So sit back and relax. You’ll laugh till you collapse. We’re Animaniacs.

      Come join the Warner Brothers. And the Warner sister Dot. Just for fun we run around the Warner movie lot. They lock us in the tower Whenever we got caught But we break loose and then vamoose And now you know the plot.

      We’re Animaniacs Dot is cute And Yakko yaks Wakko packs away the snacks While Bill Clinton plays the sax. We’re Animaniacs.

      There’s Pinky and the Brain Who want to rule the universe Goodfeathers flock together Slappy whacks them with her purse. Buttons chases Mindy While Rita sings a verse The writers flipped We have no script Why bother to rehearse

      We’re Animaniacs We have pay-or-play contracts We’re zany to the max There’s baloney in our pants We’re Animanie Totally Insaney [Add random rhyme: Pinkie and the Brainey] Animaniacs Those are the facts

    So, in Ireland, you need to go to a so called Off License to purchase alcohol or ciggies (the latter you can purchase at a newsagent as well). Went to my local grocery shop which had its own Off License to buy some tobacco. New guy working there, apparently from Poland. He asked me for my ID. I gave him my ID from another EU country which is basically the size of a credit card. He would absolutely not believe me that this was my official ID - even though as far as I know, the Polish IDs are the same format. He insisted I’d have to provide him with a drivers license (which I never had in the first place) or to show him my passport (which I didn’t own either since you don’t need one travelling from one EU country to another). This went back and forth for about ten minutes until I asked to speak to the manager for the first time ever in my life. Manager popped by and I explained what was going on. The manager checked my ID card and told the new guy: ‘Of course that’s an official ID, you gobshite…’. It made me chuckle and off I went with my tobacco.

    This doesn’t work if you have ADHD:

    Life is like a hurricane,
    Here in, Duck-berg!
    something something rhymes with cane,
    It’s a, duck-blur!
    Let’s solve a mystery,
    or rewrite history!
    Ducktales! Ooh oo

    And that’s all I’ve got.

      Oh it’s worse not only do I have ADHD, back when I was an edgy teenager a friend of mine made up a racist version that’s insanely inappropiate and overly violent.

      Now we weren’t racist or anything, it was the early 2000’s we were bored, we thought shock humor was funny, and we didn’t think anyone would think we were racist. Trump hadn’t normalized Nazism, so people just thought you were being ironic at best or they just didn’t give a shit at worst.

      But I think of his racist version when I think of Ducktales.

      No I’m not going to recite the lyrics for you, are you insane? It’s so bad I wouldn’t post it if this were 4chan.

          When I was a kid, no one gave a shit if you had a Confederate Flag because people associated it with barbeques more than the Civil War. If people saw it on your law, they just assumed you liked Dukes of Hazzard.

          Now it’s basically the lowercase version of the Nazi flag, because the Republicans wanted to use it as a dog whistle.

          So thank you GOP for taking a once-harmless symbol of the South and turning it into everything New York accused it of being.

          I knew it was all over when they waved the Confederate Flag on the lawn of the White House to protest Obama, no joke, the Tea Party did that shit. How could anyone interpret that as anything outside of “President is bad because he’s black”?

          That’s what pisses me off the most really about Obama and Trump being called “Dividers”, it’s not hte same thing at all. The Right hated Obama because they’re racist, the Left hates Trump because HE’S racist.

        I had a similar experience with the devil went down to Georgia. One of the first mp3s I ever had was a parody version about cannabis. I don’t know any of the lyrics to the original but I know that one by heart

      Fuck! I was singing that song after reading the post and I sang that fucking line right before reading your comment and now I can’t remember that part of the fucking song!

      The brain is fucking stupid.

        This is from memory, might be wrong:

        D-D-Danger right behind you
        There’s a stranger right behind you
        Nothing to do but grab onto some Duck-tales!
        Tales of Derring-Do bad and good luck tales!
        Not pony tails or cotton tails, no, DUCK TALES!

      The verse of the Gummy Bears theme tune is just the Soviet Union National Anthem speeded up. Same chord sequence.

      If you put the Gummy Bears lyrics and the English translation of the Soviet Anthem next to each other, the two sets of lyrics are pretty much interchangeable.

      Commie Bears.

      Enjoy :)

          I think so, but it was a long time ago! I think I was trying to play the anthem on piano, and whilst working it out, suddenly thought “this is just the Gummy Bears theme tune slowed down”.

          With some more talent, confidence and free time, I would have attempted to produce a recorded version in the last decade or so - but I never did, so if anyone else can, please do so. It’s probably worth quite a few “Internet points” :)

    I can only do it in Finnish D:

    I can do the whole Fresh Prince intro, though! Back in school in the early ‘00s my geo teacher jokingly said “extra credit to anyone who can recite the Fresh Prince intro in front of class” and I stood up and recited it. Got points on my next assignment for it. Thanks, early /b/.
