When Flubbing up on Purpose Goes Wrong

Post by EarlJam » August 13th, 2010, 10:47 pm

Okay, so, like in an earlier post, someone was referencing the famous line from Animal House. They posted:

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell No!"

"Germans?"

"Forget it, he's on a roll."


Okay, he was corrected, as the original line was, "Forget it, he's rolling."

Well, what if you were trying to draw a reaction out of folks, and you purposefully screwed up the same scene, but a different line? Like the first line. You could actually get the line WRONG by typing...

"Was it over when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell No!"

See, the line would be factually wrong as well as factually right!

It's just what happens when, Flubbing up on Purpose goes Wrong.

I need a light.
