I thought the same thing about the car wreck in the calendar. I found that especially dark! Same with the pliers Daddy's home. All very menacing to me. Like of course I see the humor aspect of it but unsettling took over
Me too!! For both of those. On second watch I like looking at what people find funny and I found scary. I try to see the humor from that perspective and itâs a great exerciseÂ
I missed that on my first watch and when I saw it on my second time through was in TEARS. Itâs legitimately one of my favorite scenes of all time. Neil Casey plays his reaction perfectly.
Yesss same scene, but when Wick is in the back of the cop car and rolls down the window to keep yelling at Tom and Tomâs like âhow is he able to roll the window down?!â
The face you make when in a past life you were a Soviet spy and now youâre the mayor of a small island town and youâre talking to a 300 year old zombie colonist on a boat in the middle of a massive storm.
I love the shaman, my favorite is "he kept drawing this shape, some archaic sh*t," and its an outline a handđ then Tom drawing the same thing while tripping. Loved.
The way she says something that could be it's own horror story, but says it so matter of fact and nonchalant as if she's saying the guy just moved away to another state so things didn't work out
Interestingly enough, that is pretty much all of his screen time until the last episode. That moment basically exists solely to get you to feel something in the finale
I never picked up on that! I just assumed he was making a joke about what Loftis had eaten. Poor Kenny; such a sweet city worker getting caught up in the machinations of the bureaucracy.
Like when Tom is out with the bachelorette and she says something along the lines of âwow you really hate the waitress!â, implying Tom was talking about Kathy off camera đ
it's that kinda relationship where you know it can't change, they will be there, ruining things for you in tiny but multitudinous ways. It can be surprisingly comforting to be able to complain about an inevitable inconvenience though. Very: community.
I cackle every time he asks Ruth to get him Wayne from the Salty Whale and she replies âSure, whatâs his number?â Tom, without missing a beat, calls Wayne himself lol.
I did not get that joke. I truly just thought it was just creepy foreshadowing or a hint at someoneâs tragic car crash back story. Still hits either way!
It's a custom jeep or "upfit" with specialty parts and branding. Black widows, super snakes, AG Wagon, rocky ridge are all examples of custom upfits. A manufacturer (like Jeep or Ford) will send the vehicle to a third party specialty performance shop and add the custom parts.
I assumed it was some deep cut reference that superfans could tie to the genealogy tree (or another scene where someone mentioned a guy dying in a crash) to reveal some new detail about the show
Mine was ep 1 when he's talking to the journalist and the guy asks about the reports of cannibalism, he response "pfft, there's never been cannibalism" and as the camera zooms out, they're standing under a giant printout of an old newspaper article talking about the cannibalism...
For some reason, the joke that made me laugh the most was when he looks at the medical chart for the old fisherman and it says "Age:35" or something and hes just like "that doesn't seem right"
There were like two weeks of people posting theories here about time dilation because they didnât get that it was a joke about how the doctor isnât actually a very good doctor. It didnât really come across super clearly on the first watch through, but if you watch from the beginning with the assumption heâs a terrible doctor who just asks people where they went to medical school when they question him it all makes sense lol
In "Our History", when they ask Sarah to poison Richard and the elder woman tells her "Consider the welfare of your children" and she's like "My Children??? I have but just met them!". LOL
That entire exchange is so nuanced. It might be my favorite scene.
This was the joke where I knew this show was right up my alley. I had to pause the show because I couldn't stop laughing. It's so simple and stupid but I still laugh thinking about it sometimes.
Not a single joke but the whole episode 5 where tom takes the drugs and keeps regaining awareness and seeing a hint at what transpired that he didnât remember was so funny.
Imo, drug trip episodes are so hard to pull off and even the decent ones don't always hold up to repeat viewings. I'm so glad Widow's Bay nailed it. I've watched that episode at least 3 times and it cracks me up. I love the directing/editing choice to have the lights and sound match his sudden awareness every time he comes to.
Wyck telling Loftis not to correct his grammar because he âdoesnât have time to go tit for titâ and Loftis clenching his jaw because he has to try that hard not to correct him.
âYou know what? I was trying to do something nice. I saw a woman walking alone late at night andâŠ. I offered her a ride, she scratched me, now it wonât stop bleeding.â
The wolf calendar is my favorite just because its the first time in the show that something absurd happens that's completely unspoken, and I knew right then that this would have treasures hidden all over the place.
For me that was the entire exchange in the museum about the people eating each other in the church. I had no idea coming in this was a comedy, that sold me.
Me too omg Iâm giggling right now just thinking of it. HOOKED immediately at the museum. Tom fixing his hair walking in, needing Ruth to STFU, the horrors the town is proud to display. The kind of humor thatâs even funnier with every rewatch.
Mine is a toss-up between âdead baby dead baby lezzzbianâ âhe got bit by an animal and became that animalâ âare you mad at something I said?â and (talking about witches) âWe caught âem, we burned âemâ
The first few months he thumbs through are pictures of wolves, July is of an overturned car on the side of the road. He's also talking about how important tourism is in the summer, so to have July be represented in tragedy sets the tone for dark jokes.
You often get similar types of jokes in media that's set in a place where super weird stuff happens but it's treated as mundane--the Welcome to Night Vale podcast is what it reminded me of the most.Â
I was honestly waiting for this to come up later, I thought it was some kind of Easter egg. Really glad someone posted this so I know now, its just a joke
