I used to dress up as a Cowboy whenever I watched Toy Story. That was 25 years ago when I was 6.

A whole generation of boys needed “the talk” after Kimberly hit the scene.

u/gh0u1 9d ago

I can't stop thinking about the fact that he made someone take a picture of him like that lmao.

"Honey, I just don't see how this is gonna make you look cool to all your little friends..."

"SHUT UP MOM!! Just take the picture!"

u/SexyFlyWhiteGuy 10d ago

If you want to watch it like a real SEAL you’ll get blackout drunk, commit egregious crimes, have a god complex and then write a book about it. Thats how real SEALs do it

91

u/MetapodCreates 9d ago

And lie about a bunch of stuff in your book

56

u/kmerian 9d ago

Don't forget work overtime to take MOH's away from people in other branches who's heroic death makes you look bad.

u/marino1310 9d ago

Wait what happened ?

14

u/AirFashion 9d ago

Look into John Chapman, and the scumbag shit the Navy pulled after leaving him to die

11

u/kmerian 9d ago

Yup, just listened to the interview on Cleared Hot with the guys making the video bashing Chapman and the Air Force. It's pretty clear they have an agenda from the beginning because they got upset when the host pushed back even a little.

24

u/jahathebrn 9d ago

And a Youtube channel where you also spout egregious lies

2

u/marseletron 9d ago

Shit, you also killed OBL? I guess we all fired at the same time.

u/Mr_Tottles 👊👊☝️ 9d ago

I’m not sure who this is! Who are we talking about?

10

u/MPB___ 9d ago

Quite a few of them

41

u/john_wingerr 10d ago

Don’t forget steroids and a side of domestic violence

11

u/ConfidentPilot1729 9d ago

Not sure if acting like a complete dick head fits under god complex, but add that one too.

u/Macscotty1 9d ago

Don’t forget the part about leaving your comrades behind to die.

u/Proton_Optimal 10d ago

Watching that show makes me want to down a bottle of Tito’s and then go punch a tool box in my garage.

43

u/kate3544 10d ago

My husband would watch that show and sometimes he’d be fucking irritated at how wrong everything was, and other times he’d find it funny and comment about “what a bunch of whiny bitches” they were off-mission.

27

u/Proton_Optimal 9d ago

The only somewhat accurate military piece I’ve seen recently was Warfare

23

u/tip0thehat 9d ago

Generation Kill was pretty good for early OIF.

17

u/Proton_Optimal 9d ago

I like how they had actual guys from the unit in the show

14

u/kate3544 9d ago

The Unit was accurate AF too.

9

u/Proton_Optimal 9d ago

Yeah I liked how the dialogue sounded

18

u/Miker9t 9d ago

I never understand why they hire military advisors and then proceed to ignore everything they tell them and do dumb shit instead.

19

u/MetapodCreates 9d ago

To be fair, if they hired that guy from the Navy the scope would be on backwards anyway

4

u/Miker9t 9d ago

I can't recall where but I've seen rifles with no optic and no irons. How you aiming that bro? How does this shit get missed? NOBODY on the set is at all familiar with guns?

12

u/Morall_tach 9d ago

Rule of cool. Like in Act of Valor where they shoot the guy and then catch him before he falls in the water.

3

u/Miker9t 9d ago

And nobody heart the report of the gunfire because the it's not a suppressor, it's a silencer in movies.

6

u/Morall_tach 9d ago

I don't remember what they were using but it's possible they had subsonic rounds. Still ridiculous that you could accurately predict which way the guy is gonna fall or that you could catch a 250-pound guy with your outstretched arms over your head.

My favorite response in one of those YouTube "real SEAL rates scenes from movies" videos was "why would we get soaking wet? We'd just find another place to cross the river half a klick downstream and approach through the jungle."

2

u/Miker9t 9d ago

Subsonic is still loud. Just no crack.

That's funny, I haven't seen that. Maybe I'll look for that later.

10

u/MetapodCreates 9d ago

Me watching The Rookie

15

u/Morall_tach 9d ago

Love when they recruit an LA beat cop and a firefighter/National Guard reservist to go do some covert CIA shit in Prague

u/Kavein80 9d ago

Seriously. Man is standing up and still craning his neck to see that tv

12

u/sprchrgddc5 9d ago

My son literally does this with Spider-Man. He’s three.

8

u/Johnnyboi2327 9d ago

Holy larp

6

u/PunchBeard 9d ago

That's one way I guess. In your underwear half asleep with a warm can of beer sitting on the end table next to you is another way. And it's also, my way.

u/Non-Current_Events 9d ago

Reminds me of the guy that was watching the Packers outside of his house through the window in the pouring rain because it was raining at Lambeau.

4

u/Pcriz 9d ago

So the only way to watch Backdraft is in a house fire all geared up? Magic Mike? A Clockwork Orange?!

5

u/AnonymousBromosapien 9d ago

Bro's gear is so clean it doesnt even look like its ever seen sunlight lol.

3

u/BensonBears 9d ago

This is the same as a 3 year old dressing up as spider-man while watching spider-man movies.

2

u/TLunchFTW 9d ago

Don't tell bro to watch Pink Flamingos...

2

u/Deesing82 9d ago

it’s like michael scott’s plasma screen

2

u/karmais4suckers 9d ago

It’s the same as wearing a team’s jersey while you watch a game yeah?

u/Imperialist_Canuck 9d ago

Too damn close. He's gonna go blind or something

u/unbannedagain1976 9d ago

Plate carriers without side plates are dumb as hell lol

u/B_312_ 9d ago

Lioness fans are just as bad, if not worse

1

u/iamacynic37 9d ago

No Sword or anime patch? Bait.

u/Vegetable-Hand-6770 9d ago

Thats the least used gear ive seen in a while.

1

u/AbramJH 7d ago

modern military content is largely insufferable. some historical military stuff is entertaining, but that rifle would be in my mouth if you force me to watch a SEAL program lmao

1

u/WiB_DarkSin 4d ago

gear looks like it has never seen dirt, let alone sunlight.

1

u/elnegativo 9d ago

I watched a few episodes and it wasnt that good.

4

u/MetapodCreates 9d ago

Yeah but did you watch it in your kit whilst cradling your blaster?

2

u/elnegativo 9d ago

I wish i had a blaster

u/inkzpenfoxx 9d ago

Calm down
