This is literally the plot of Psycho Pass. Highly recommend btw

I thought it was a poke at Minority Report

its a one season show and that's it, imo

He was actually arrested for credit card fraud

For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.

you can learn about it here

Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

If I recall correctly he'd already committed plenty of white collar crime and by my guess assumed making a big show in front of the cameras would help him out, it really didn't.

I've been on the internet for a long time and I'd never seen that one. You're doing God's work.

This is Democracy manifest

You read the rolling R's.

RIP "are you waiting to receive my limp penis?" guy. He died a couple of months ago.

“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

If that's not the perfect motivation to write a screenplay and cast yourself in it, I don't know what is!

He’s now in Aussie Crook Valhalla, enjoying endless succulent Chinese meals with Ned Kelly and Chopper Read.

Get your hand off my penis!

Ah, I see you know your judo well

This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Actually I'm imagining a heist movie where this guy's makes a scene as a diversion while Tom Cruise steals some jewels or something. I'd watch that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

He's not allowed to do that anymore, after he broke the first three.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

You couldn't stage an arrest video that good. That man could project like a Shakespearean actor.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He actually was a stage actor who did Shakespeare, no joke.

I'm seeing the video for the first time and discovered where was the beginning of this song sampled from: https://youtu.be/q07G2_zOEWA (badklaat - judo)

Interesting find.

"Are you waiting to receive my limp penis!?!"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.

Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.

Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Succulent with intent to commit wificide. That's a twelve twenty-seven. Book 'em!

Haha oh my gosh, I was just talking about this the other day. This man is a fucking legend.

Wasn't this a futurerama episode?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

No, it was democracy manifest.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Which was itself riffing on The Minority Report by Phillip K. Dick from 1956 .
