Discussion (258) - “Prattering”

Galasso doesn’t suffer FOOLS gladly
butts
nice to see his managerial habits are preserved from Shortpacked!
Idontcarenomore
And that Sidney is as crazy as ever…and still threatens “you have not yet seen the last of Sidney Yus”.
Clif
Brilliant comedy is brilliant.
Jason Furness
Suffer, no.
But I wonder how often Galasso pities FOOLS?

Joke’s on you, nothing can actually store that many O’s! Assuming a Hard Disk that fills the entire observable universe with optimally packed memory cells (10^20 per cc) You’d get about 30,000 googol give or take in the Universe’s 3.1 * 10^84 observable cubic centimeters. A drop in the proverbial bucket compared to a googfoolplex..
The universe is big, but it’s tiny compared to some of the silly numbers we’ve come up with.
Emperor Norton II
So you’re saying that we have more FOOLS than the universe can contain?
marianne
That position does seem to be backed up by FOOLean logic.

Things are getting increasingly non-FOOLclidean.

LIMEY LOUIE: This little pity went to market… (breaks Daffy’s first finger, and he screams) This little pity stayed home… (breaks Daffy’s second finger) This little pity went… (breaks Daffy’s third finger and Daffy falls into the pit of crocodiles) Aw, NO MORE PITIES!
PlainMarie
This reminds me of the scene in one of the Pink Panther movies when the honorable thief trying to clear his name keeps breaking that guy’s fingers to get him to talk.
AnvilPro
I’m assuming she’s not really fired, and that Galasso fires everyone once a week.
Bagge
That sounds very, very likely
I heard that Thomas Edison did just that.
John
Being fired is basically Sydney’s wyrd.
Idontcarenomore
She and Galasso seem to be reliving their Shortpacked existence. If so, she is fired, which allows her to go off to form her own vow to get even with Gallaso and work for a more or less rival outfit.
Deanatay
It will be called ‘Aw Yus Sammidges! (and pizza)’
foamy
Comments section yesterday called it.
Gwen
Next up: employment for Becky!
Fridge_Logik
I never knew how much I wanted Becky to work for Glasso until Sydney got fired.
Needfuldoer
If it means Galasso’s gets more screen time, I’m all for it!
Emperor Norton II
Some of them thought she’d be fired for bad service rather than the wrong type of bad service, though.
foamy
I object to this statement: Galasso didn’t fire her for the “wrong type” of bad service; in fact he didn’t fire her for bad service at all.
He fired her for failing to bend others to her will, which is more like… um… bad RULE-ice.
… look its been a long day.
Explorer Rowan
I agree. Sydney was fired because she could not bend the customers to her will. Galasso understands that this can take many forms, including but not limited to:
Manipulation
Deception
Seduction
Intimidation
Treachery
Sydney didn’t have a PLAN for her control of the customer, she just demanded they accept a pizza they didn’t want. The customer is not bent or cowed, they’re just annoyed and confused. Galasso’s employees should know better.
If Sydney had, for example, attempted to seduce Becky and/or Dina for the purpose of both causing strife in their fledgling relationship and get them to buy a more expensive pizza, Galasso would have appreciated the approach. Although that does seem more of a Mike tactic, now that I think of it. Sydney could have also brought them the correct pizza, and then intimidated them into paying for it and leaving the store before they had actually gotten to eat any of it. Or while they were looking over the menu, deceived them into ordering some wildly disgusting combination of toppings, and then taken pleasure in their misery of trying it. These would all be acceptable forms of chaos at Galasso’s.
Needfuldoer
Even conventionally good customer service can be a good thing to Galasso if you frame it right.
“Happy customers are repeat customers, the happier you make them the more likely it is they will return. Soon they will be dependent on your pizza (and/or subs) for sustinence! It’s a long con, but it will pay off.”
Fart Captor
True, but they were completely wrong about why she was fired!
Disloyal Subject
Really, this whole situation has been lovely for predictions, ranging from those made weeks in advance to those realized within days.
Doctor_Who
She was hired solely for doing a good “FOOLS!”, right?
For Galasso, demonstrating that is the entire interview.
shadowcell
the last comic you ever do should be titled “THE LAST OF SYDNEY YUS”
Hopeful Sarcastic
those millenials and their delusions of free will
TheAnonymousGuy
millennials aren’t delusional, they know their fucked and just don’t want pay the bill for a dinner they didn’t eat.
El Chupacabre
Methinks maybe hopeful sarcastic was living up to the name.
Deanatay
Yeah, the Boomers ate the millennial’s meal, and then stuck them with the bill. I’d be a bit upset myself.
Bagge
Wow, um, it actually hits a bit harder what a terrible boss Gallasso is in Dumbing of Age than in shortpacked. Less cartoony, more abusive.
Good thing that Sydney takes it in the cartoony way. VENGEANCE!!!!!
Charles Phipps
Listen, if you can’t deliver pizza right, that’s a firing offense.
Bagge
The homophobic slur SHOULD have been a disciplinary offence, but neither of those things is what she is actually fired for.
butts
…What slur?
Bagge
Senseless sapphic pawing? Berating them for being homosexual in public?
butts
Oh, yeah, that. That’s broadly homophobic (although I kind of doubt that that was Sydney’s intent— she strikes me as like Galasso, not really understanding how human emotions work), but not technically a slur, which is why I wasn’t sure what you meant.
Lailah
Sapphic is rather the opposite of a slur, but specifying the sapphic pawing does still come off heterosexist. I agree it’s not Yus’ intent, since she’s clearly inflating her word count, but it’s nto really relevant to the effect of her words.
Cerberus
Though I think it might be her intent going back. Like, the use of a veggie pizza initially made me think it was Sydney being that flavor of douchebag vegetarian evangelical who wants to “convert” everything to vegetarianism, but she flat out states no objection to meat.
Instead she dumps what seems to be simply the nearest pizza at hand simply to stop a queer public display of affection. So, yeah, the intent is definitely a homophobic microaggression based on seeing two women being intimate as something that needed to be stopped quickly and by whatever means was at hand.
What’s interesting to me is that Sydney also seems to have the flaw of never being able to admit fault or back down and so when told she has the wrong order, instead of going “oops, my bad, I’ll go get that” to cover up the initial attempt to get them to stop doing PDAs, she doubles down and tries to gaslight them into accepting the wrong pizza so she doesn’t have to admit fault and makes it into a whole power play.
And the sad part is she would have gotten away with it if she had been slightly more subtle in her microaggression instead of doubling down over and over again to make it a whole major power play thing forcing her boss to intervene.
thejeff
Maybe? I’m not sure. My read was that she was being “honest”. She deliberately got the order wrong because they didn’t deserve meat. She’s not reacting to their affection, she’s playing out her variation of Galasso’s approach.
Doing it all wrong of course, but aimed at terrorizing and controlling customers in general, not homosexual ones in particular. Assuming she does become a recurring (comic?) villain, we’ll likely have a better idea as we see more of her.
StClair
I’m with thejeff on this. She’s “merely” being a villain, badly; that is, trying and failing at it.
Lailah
See, the thing with that Cerb, you’re making a LOT of very definite statements about her actual intent, based on /literally one action/. That’s really hard to do. She might have a problem with gay PDA. She might have a problem with /all/ PDA. She might have a problem with any public display of attention not aimed at her. (I’m pretty sure it’s the latter).
Like, this is /sydney yus/. If your judgement of her intent doesn’t have room for moustache twirling, you /might/ be /really/ off-base. Her and Galasso are kind of delusional people. And Willis isn’t being subtle that she’s still basically Sydney Yus, so this hasn’t changed.
You /could/ be right. But I can’t say that with any serious confidence. None of this changes the EFFECT of her actions – it’s still glaringly heterosexist.
Smiling Cat
I assumed she threw in sapphic to boost the verbosity of her statement. Generic statements are for losers.
Roborat
I interpreted that as her berating them for too much PDA, not so much the sappic part.
Shiro
Sapphic isn’t actually a slur, but depending on her tone it could’ve been a very rude statement, so fair.
Dave
In fairness, Galasso wasn’t there for that, nor has it been reported to him. He can’t take action on something he doesn’t know about!
a snow ʍousɐ
Very true!
Betrayer
Since there was no homophobic slur, not really. It was a microaggression – still worth discussing and complaining about, but a whole different matter from a homophobic slur.
Someone who thoughtlessly uses microaggressions can change if they are talked to respectfully and so don’t feel attacked. If you call them homophobic, racist, or sexist for even the smallest unintentional offense, the best possible case they will ignore you and continue saying things they don’t realize are hurtful. The worst is that they will decide minorities are just whiners who need to grow a spine and become anti-PC people who are INTENTIONALLY hurtful towards others.
It’s particularly important not to overuse and dilute words like “slur” now. There will be plenty of real homophobic slurs tossed around the next four years.
