...should really just be called "nice try, asshole."

i've been watching reruns every night (almost, anyway) and every single one ends with the ironic twist™ ending.

i've been getting into it enough that the last time i went to get a massage, i didn't ask for the happy ending, i asked for the ironic twist™ ending where it turns out my dick is the masseuse.

So far my favorite is The Big Tall Wish.

I like the one where the guy just wants to be alone in a world full of books but his glasses break. WELL NO WONDER YOU CAN'T READ WITHOUT THEM YOU'RE AN OLD FART YOU SHOULD HAVE WISHED FOR PERFECT VISION

I like the parody of that they did on futurama, where he remembers he can still read the big print books, then his eyes fall out, then he remembers he knows Braille, then his hands fall off, then for good measure, his head falls off too.

My fave is "The Fever" the guy who goes to vegas and gets possessed by the slot machine.

That was Burgess Meredith, btw.

The Futurama writers seemed to be fans.
