    I’ll draw out the path for you, because you and the previous poster seem genuinely confused.

    Bill Paxton (shown above) is playing a character, Coconut Pete. He plays a character in a movie called Club Dread. A broken lizard production. In said movie, Coconut Pete’s music was ripped off by Jimmy Buffett. Specifically the song Pina-colada-Berg was turned into Margarita-ville. Pina Colada-berg is a bad song purposefully, because of parody law. The meme is that Coconut Pete would say this exact thing given the current news that Jimmy Buffet has passed away.

    I hope now we can laugh together, but I doubt it because explaining a joke really cuts out all humor. Seriously take the advise given and just watch the movie to understand before posting. It’s not hard.

      Your comment helped me get the joke, I was never going to watch the movie. Thank you.

        But it’s got a bunch of the “Super Troopers” guys in it. It’s ridiculous but fun, if you like B movie gore.And why I pronounce Penelope ,“Pee na lope”.

      I was on your side until you said “it’s not hard”

      Explaining a joke is significantly easier than getting everyone to watch a movie to understand it

      Saying it’s not hard just makes you sound rude

        You are six comments deep on thread about a meme, about a movie, about a dead singer, played by a dead actor, that nobody remembers… IDK how you were even with me from the beginning let alone until I went wildly of the rails with “it’s not hard”. I’ll try to reign in my rudeness with people next time to make sure I secure your vote of confidence.

        “Watch out everybody it’s the fucking fun police!” (From the movie in case anyone needs the joke explained)

            Honest question from a psych researcher: your self-disclosure about neurodivergence. Is that a self-diagnosis or clinical. Ive seena huge uptick in the term usage, especially on internet forums. Might be a good study to explore it’s etymological evolution over the past few years. Are you staying that members of the instance or members of the mod team are made up of neurodivergent individuals? Feel free to PM me if you don’t feel comfortable answering here. I don’t mind asking in public since you self-disclosed and public is always a good place to show the least bias to people.

                Thank you for for candor and self awareness in your response. Helps me synthesize ideas about possible future investigations. The broadness of the neurodivergent spectrum inclusive defintion is a good and bad thing. The term has a nice ring to it, but its broadness means that their are a wider variety of malingerers on the outer edges. As the edges get wider the more of that happens. I am more fond of direct identification of diagnoses instead of the conglomerated term. What are your feelings about self-identifying or being identified as neurodivergent? To clarify the question, do you find the label positive or negative compared to the label ADHD?

        No worries. Cunty is a fun way to be sometimes. Life shouldn’t be shades of niceness all the time. Glad your gonna take a watch. It’s a great B-movie with some solid jokes. Bill Paxton is great in it too. You’ll never say Penelope the same again after seeing it. And the ending is dope.
