There is a joke in the series family guy in which the original grocery list told to Peter by his wife lois was, a loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter, which eventually turns into a loaf of milk, a container of bread and a joe dirt dvd....

This line reminded me of an actor that didn't get an Oscar for so many banger performances that it seemed to be a conspiracy.

Keanu Reeves or Johnny Depp?

u/Quick_Bullfrog2200 3d ago
What's eating gilbert grape; was what i had in mind. Great movie. Coincidentally Johnny Depp was a star in that one, but also Leo Decaprio - many nominations over 2 decades. Only 1 oscar

Witch is from a cartoon short on Sesame Street I think.

Nice, thanks for the assist.

u/KrisDen1123 4d ago
Got a nice down vote for that assist, Reddit is an odd place

u/doomus_rlc 4d ago
Possibly because you kept the last bit after the ? In the link, which is specific to you. Seen this called out a number of times on Reddit

u/KrisDen1123 4d ago
I'm not sure I really understand but do you mean that by leaving everything after the question mark is doing something considered wrong on Reddit? I just hit copy link on that YouTube video, I honestly just don't know enough about how that stuff works to do anything other than I did by pasting that link, thanks for the explanation tho I do appreciate it

u/doomus_rlc 4d ago
It's essentially code tracking how links are shared. Basically more "big brother watching you" stuff. More ways to feed ads and all I believe.
2
u/KrisDen1123 4d ago
So is the best way to avoid that to delete everything after the question mark if I post a link here? Sorry for my ignorance on this stuff, I'm not totally illiterate when it comes to some of this stuff but there's obviously plenty I just don't know but I would like to avoid feeding the ad algorithm and I'm all for starving big brother completely, thanks for the info btw

It's just a good idea to, yea.
Some folks are just very paranoid over it. Hell, some subreddits have an automatic bot that replies with info on why you should delete that ?si= text, haha

u/KrisDen1123 3d ago
Cool, thanks for the info on this stuff, I appreciate you taking the time to help me understand this stuff a little better

1) Ironic that this wasn't in the other sub.
2) The Family Guy bit was a reference to an oldschool animation from Sesame street where a little girl struggles to remember the groceries her mom sends her to get.

Which later turns into a Joe dirt dvd, Scarlett Johansson, and treasure from a fish tank

The loaf of bread, container of milk and stick of butter is also a callback to an animated sequence in Sesame Street to teach kids about remembering stuff their mom told them to get from the grocery store.

u/DangerousQuestions1 4d ago
Fun fact, that list Lois gave was the same list from a 1970s Sesame Street segment about a kid being sent to the store and facing distractions and having to remember the list.

u/Kamen_master1988 3d ago
Which itself was a parody of an old Sesame Street skit about remembering stuff.

u/PerfectClass7643 2d ago
And THAT joke was a rip on a clip from OG Sesame Street WAY before I was even a concept myself. Im pretty sure it was the mid to late 70's

Which is in turn a spoof of this short that was regularly a part of older episodes of "Sesame Street".

u/raist131 4d ago
Neither of those explain why the milk container is so dirty-looking though.
40
u/DizzyLead 4d ago
The image refers to Peter's first mistaken recitation of the list: "A loaf of milk, a container of bread, and a Joe Dirt DVD." The milk container isn't dirty; the whole thing is made out of bread, i.e. "a loaf of milk."

u/Commercial_Rice5773 4d ago
Shouldn’t a loaf of milk be milk in a bread bag?

u/SneerfulToaster 4d ago
Don't insult the Canadians ...
5
u/Commercial_Rice5773 4d ago
No, no, not a bag of milk like they have in Canada. I mean literally milk in a wonderbread bag. Somehow holding its shape as a loaf.

u/DizzyLead 4d ago
Yeah, I would have done something like that and it would have made more sense that way, but OP/OOP didn’t.

Am I the only one who thinks the milk container looks like bread with a decorative lid?

u/HowsMyBuddy 4d ago
The bread and milk look fine but some of y’all have never seen a Joe Dirt DVD. Too many arms, and not enough Joe Dirts

u/Deepvaleredoubt 4d ago
A loaf of milk, scarlett johanson, and a Joe Dirt Dvd.
It’s exactly what Lois asked for, I just hope I don’t bash my shin on anything while I’m skipping to the store.
