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.

It helped us out

I just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn't fact check anything.

Here's a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.

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!

Get real drunk and then go out and do your best to get laid—except don’t get hard and while she’s lying on the bed, watching you…there you go.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

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

Get your hand off my penis!

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 months ago

Ah, I see you know your judo well

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (4 children)

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Fuckin a. It has to be the most theatrical video recorded arrest in human history

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago (2 children)

Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Less lethal just means more practice.

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

Wasn't this a futurerama episode?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

No, it was democracy manifest.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002

And that memed ~~britsh~~ Australian dude bitching to the cops very loudly in a "how dare you sir!" ridiculous voice.
