Someone’s gotta say it: Trump getting elected
Or at the very least the Four Seasons Total Landscaping incident. It’s like a Curb Your Enthusiasm cold opening sketch or something.
It reminded me of Arrested Development, but it definitely felt like a sketch.
Everything in the UK since about May 2015.
Let’s be honest, 2010
MacArthur’s “I have returned” speech. The moment the Imperial Japanese Army decided to create the Imperial Japanese Army Navy because the actual Imperial Japanese Navy hated them. Kristallnacht. Most long medieval wars at some point. The latter half of Henry VIII’s life, probably starting with his jousting accident or killing his first ex wife maybe. The whole French Revolution. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand. The assassination of Lincoln. Probably a lot of assassinations, I’m going to stop now.
God, I feel like a good 1/3 of news stories are like that. We live in an absurd world.
The Pilot that lost the F-35. I feel like that could’ve been a producer’s money saving tactic in late episodes of Nightrider or Air Wolf…
“Hey Michael, solving this crime on your own? Where’s Kit?”
“Oh we were just in a high speed pursuit together & I had jump out. I’m sure Kit will turn up sooner or later, must be getting a car wash or somethin’…”
“Michael, did you lose the car?”

News stations hyping murder hornets a few months into the Covid pandemic.
Wasn’t there some copypasta about WWII being totally unbelievable? Like the USA busting out a super weapon and having a kind hearted, unbelievably capable, wheelchair bound president? And “bad guys” so bad they murder millions just because they’re so evil? And the Allies being lead by a perpetually drunk burnout from WWI who could spit hilarious one-liners?
It’s crazy how much of the actual war was one mayor fuckup away from going completely different routes, from Rommel being stopped instead of becoming that semi mythical Wehrmacht leader in france, to the destroyer looking for an american sub leading scout planes directly to the japanese fleet at Midway, the whole war has so much crazy stuff.
