It's February 2. I feel like I referenced the wrong movie.
It's okay, I'll have another chance in several hours.

Discussion (122) - “Pizza”
Jen Aside
BECAUSE DIVORCE IS UNNATURAL AND NO DIVORCEE CAN BE HAPPY
Oh, Joyce.
Luke
It’s Joyce. She probably thinks being divorced is a sin and Joe’s parents are going to hell.
R
Weren’t they anyway for being Jewish?
Scotty Van
OH. WOW. WOW.
Joyce just keeps on finding new ways to prove that she is utterly crazy.
David Herbert
This is more about her innocence, I’m thinking.
Tristan J
Tomayto, tomahto.
Soundbucket
I’d say this just crossed the innocence line and is taking a nosedive into stupidity.
gangler
Gonna quote Tristan J on this one.
Tomayto, tomahto.
David Herbert
Yeah, believing in disney movies at her age is a little worrying.
General Tekno
Oh, Lindsay Lohan.
Amazing how she turned out, isn’t it?
Bill M.
That’s because she befriended Paris Hilton. Being friends with Paris Hilton ruins everyone.
Plasma Mongoose
I prefered Paris Hilton when it was just a fancy hotel.
Andrew Davis
Are they going to Mother Bear’s? 😛
David
Naw, Mother Bears is too “Roomies!”.
Andrew Davis
Man, now I have to go and reread Roomies! DAMN YOU WILLIS!
The Sound Defense
I approve of this entirely new kind of crazy that Joyce has become.
Rognik
Somehow, I don’t think Joe and Joyce look enough alike to pull off an effective Parent Trap. And even saying that much shows I know way too much about the movie.
Bill M.
Actually, to pull off an effective Parent Trap, we’d need Joe to be a twin, and that would melt Joyce’s mind, she’d just melt from the PSL she’s harboring going nuclear.
arjay2813
is this where we’re finally gonna see faz? that’s upsetting, but it’ll probably put to rest whether he’s Fazoli’s kid i suppose
cruncher3019
Ugh, just shoot semen into her vagina already. That’s what happens during sex, right?
Rowen Morland
Why is your blunt turn of phrase a turn on?! Curses where is the poetry.
I also notice that Mike is on guard/
tom
lol, you must be new here. Mike’s looking for an excuse to punch something else, since our lovebirds are a safe arm-length away.
Varmint
If you are unimaginative, then yes, that is what happens.
aydr
Also if you are dumb. Very, very dumb. No way in hell is Joyce on the pill.
LiamKav
A lot of girls are on the pill for reasons other than Not Having Babies.
begbert2
Joyce ain’t one of them, though. Five’ll get you ten that contraception methods, themselves, are inherently of the devil – regardless of use.
Locke
Wait… Into the VAGINA?! No WONDER than woman last night got all pissed at me!
NF
Joyce’s last line made me lol.
Also, am I the only one slightly terrified by her manic enthusiasm in panel 4?
NF
Also, run Joe. Run now.
Soundbucket
With your penis.
dchorror
I’d imagine that would hurt.
Kamino Neko
Joe thanks you for assuming that he’s capable of that.
zuche
I hate that word, but that was funny.
MM
I’m a little surprised Joyce knows that word.
Dean
‘Divorced’ is a terrible word, yes.
zuche
With a family that’s seen five out of seven marriages fail within the last two generations, I view that one more as a non-judgmental reality. Then again, I’m the only one still on amicable terms with my ex.
Locke
Hey, my parents got divorced, as well. See, my mom was cheating on my dad with several other men. Their names? Well, the was Jim Bean, Bud Weiser, Jose Quervo, some Russian guy named McCormick, and, finally, some guy who owned a Carribean fishing boat. I think his name was… Well, something “Morgan”…
dchorror
You know, I get the joke. But it makes it sound a lot more wrong.
Zap
Mike looks ready to do some punchin’.
iggzy
Joyce is getting to be so cute its almost unsettling…in the best way
Matt
FINALLY. It’s the Felicia day cameo that Dumbing of Age has been crying out for.
Shift
I know she’s supposed to be cute and naive, but seriously… Joyce’s complete lack of real world understanding is actually kinda unsettling. And that smile in the last scene. I don’t know why, but it comes off kinda creepy with her talking about Lindsey Lohan.
James
Have you read the original Roomies? “Naive and innocent to the point of unsettling” is almost the whole POINT of Joyce’s character.
Wackd
…Is it wrong that my immediate reaction was “Wow, I didn’t know The Parent Trap was a remake” and not anything actually…y’know…relevant to the plot?
gangler
That’s okay. My first reaction was “WTF? They remade parent trap? But why? That movie would be worthless without the olsen twins.”
Random832
>_> I’ve got bad news for you… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055277/
Gojan
Yes, you are obviously thinking of “It Takes Two” which was blatantly the same basic plot as the parent trap, only not. xD
Kamino Neko
Oh, good…I was confused. ‘They remade it AGAIN? With the Olsens, to boot?’
Lokitsu
There are only two plotlines for movies with underage twins. The Parent Trap and The Prince and the Pauper.
dchorror
That’s not true. Those are just the popular ones.
Penthesilea
Ew, Joyce! Joe, you really have no idea what you’re getting into…
ScytheAkse
she looks so heartbroken in panel three poor joyce
Scott
I can’t help but empathize with Joe. And I don’t even like people like Joe. I’m worried she is going to say something so bible-thumpy that he has an Aneurysm and dies on the spot.
Dierna
You know…. now that I think about it Joyce DOES kinda resemble a young Haley Mills….
Alice Macher
See, if Joyce had more real-world familiarity, she’d know that Lohan’s problem isn’t “sluttiness,” but substance abuse. It’s the latter that’s wrecked her career. Directors and co-actors don’t care about your sexual life. Hollywood isn’t the U.S. Congress. They care about whether you turn up on the set on time and coherent.
George
She was raised as a bible-thumper, although between the temptation of Joe and the assholery of Mike I don’t think it’s going to be a permanent part of her character. For now, however, I’d guess she’s using “slut” because a) She personally is more concerned with Lohan’s “immoral” sex life or b) she’s one of those people who say premarital sex leads to horrible things, so she thinks Lohan is an addict because she’s a slut.
zuche
Or maybe this is part of the Mantra to Quell Impure Thoughts.
What? I’ve seen people do stupider things to leave themselves totally unprepared for the directions their lives take.
aydr
Doesn’t change the fact that people call her a slut… Just because it’s not the source of her career problems doesn’t change public opinion of her. I’d say doesn’t change the fact that she is a slut, but what the hell do I know about Lohan? Not too much.
Except that she was actually pretty good in that movie.
goatman95111
You must also consider the whole “missing panty scandal” lack of wardrobe on her part, and obvious attempts to flaunt what is obviously unethical behavior on others. If it’s kept away from the you choose to promote your beliefs, and in turn others can counter your stance.
However, from the purebloods and freaks I’ve met with my time on campus, Joyce is more likely to rapidly decay her moral center by exposure to all the stimuli of a new environment. This is seen on a regular basis with those Amish teens who choose to leave the community for city life, and wind up taking binge drinking/perpetual partying to an excess.
Andrew Perron
Honestly, if all your exposure to Lohan is second- or third-hand mentions in the news and references on sitcoms, you might well think that “slut” is her main problem.
zuche
Well, sure. When has the whole truth ever been useful for keeping people trying to fit into society in line?
Goodness, but I seem to have woken up on the cynical side of the muffin this morning.
Andrew Perron
…okay, there are a *lot* of ways the media manipulates us, but I don’t see insufficient information on the sins of Lindsay Lohan as one of them.
zuche
Gossip has long been used to keep people in line, for fear that people will talk about you the same way they are of people such as Ms. Lohan. Accuracy, unfortunately, is not as essential as the scapegoat.
gangler
Lol. Poor Joe is just beginning to learn what he’s getting into. Really they’re both in over their heads. This relationship is gonna be a fucking trainwreck.
zuche
Hey, that can work out pretty well…if you’re last name is Addams.
Ryanwoofs
Where…where are they going if not to Mother Bear’s? I don’t remember there being another pizza joint on that part of Third… *sob* I’ve been gone so long!
MJ
I hadn’t realised that this was set in a ‘real’ location
Ryanwoofs
Yup, have a look:
Third and I don’t remember the name of this one way street before Jordan
begbert2
Great Cheese, Willis even got the staggered windows right! Dang!
