    You lost me at loading a “clip” into a gun. It’s like a spelling mistake, making the rest of the comic uncredible.

    The dial tone when you get hung up upon comes from a specific telephone network in the area where a lot of the writers/directors lived iirc. I’m too lazy to search for it again, but it’s defunkt now, but they keep it in so the viewer knows what’s the deal.

    • Jezus, everyone has had a dial tone. How old is the author of the meme?

    • Oh please – never heard of a dial tone – seriously? I even hear them from time to time even now.

  3. Eh, the clip pedantry is recent. Magazines used to be called clips. People started getting uppity about it only in the past few decades.

  4. Isn’t it necessary to mention the source oft the pictures vor at least the creator?
