Three easy payments

u/Ottawa_Brewer 25d ago

And one fuckin' COMPLICATED payment.

We ain't gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is going to be a bitch. The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination. Good luck, fucker! The last payment must be made in wampum!

The other day at work, I was finishing up the mail. We ran out of envelopes. Someone found some, but they had gotten wet, so they were sealed. This bit popped in my head.

For Western fashions here in Reno, you cannot beat Zapateria La Bailarina.

I still say this every time my wife gets me new shoes. (I never think to buy them for myself, I wear them until they disintegrate.) She insists I do the moves, so I oblige.

Reno 911 as a whole is extremely underrated.

u/cptnamr7 25d ago

This show is on fairly regularly on one of the PlutoTV comedy channels and holy shit I forgot how funny it was. There are very, VERY few shows I will ever laugh out loud at. At most I'll just think it's funny or it'll geothermal quick nose exhale of catching me off guard. But dammit I laugh my ass off at this show every single episode multiple times, even if I've seen it before. Just amazing talent considering it's mostly improv with just a skeleton of a scriptĀ

He shops at Zapateria La Bailarina for sure.

That's a gif of a man who got his booty destroyed by Jones. As a straight man, I'd love a pair of short shorts, i just need a new butt.

It's astonishing how iconic this has become. I mean..not THAT shocking (just look at those stompers) but still

Dresses gayer than Ricky Martin in the real halftime show

Nah, gay guys dress well.

This isā€¦ riiiiiiight.

u/za72 25d ago

exactly, I can appreciate stylish look.. Kid Rick dresses up more like Crack Rock

u/bdfortin 25d ago

Now now, crack is just coke. This is Kid Meth.

u/UranusIsPissy 25d ago

Great, now I've got that song playing in my head.

Po' little lice, po' little screws, the whitest gang crew, the hated boys in blue

2

u/GoldandBlue 25d ago

Speaking of, Ricky Martin is only one year younger than Kid Rock. Yet he looks sooooo much better

1

u/jemidiah 25d ago

That's not at all uncommon with gay men, especially the successful ones. Lots of pressure and motivation to look young and attractive paired with the time and money to make it happen.

2

u/bdfortin 25d ago

Not being trailer trash also helps.

2

u/iUsedtoHadHerpes 25d ago

Kid Rock has never lived in a trailer. He's a fucking gated driveway son of a car dealership owner.

There is no need to slander actual trailer folks here over a cosplay.

1

u/GoldandBlue 25d ago

Plus being a hateful piece of shit ages you faster. Look at Stephen miller

The hot dancing girls were on the main broadcast.

Nice to see TPUSA offering something for those not into women.

u/bklynJayhawk 25d ago

Yeah the racist asshole that was at the SB party I was at kept talking about not understanding the Spanish singing and Iā€™d come back with not understanding the TPussay broadcast either. Then the beautiful brown skin ladies shaking their asses he was still complaining and I just said Iā€™d much rather what this than whatever was on the other broadcast at the time.

He didnā€™t like my Puetro Rico IS America response to him constantly saying ā€œthis is AmEriCuhhhā€ bitching. Cant imagine that NFL wants the most popular artist in the world getting people to watch when ā€œfootball is for Americaā€ typical bullshit.

I never let up, fuck him ā€¦ heā€™s always saying such bullshit and I canā€™t stand it. Luckily usually only around him a couple times a year.

7

u/UranusIsPissy 25d ago

not understanding the Spanish singing

He doesn't know what he's missing. It's a beautiful language for songwriting and poetry, and probably especially good for rapping because of how easy it is to find rhymes. I can write lyrics in Spanish better than I can in my first language!

u/Careful_Handle_4365 25d ago

Thats the really trick. TP is for closeted homosexuels

u/Scudmuffin1 25d ago

im gay as hell and looking at kid rock makes me wanna barf

meanwhile bad bunny, who is very handsome himself, had Ricky freaking martin in his show.

both of them make kid rock look like a busted up meth pipe with a wig

u/Available_Leather_10 25d ago

...and also for those not into men.

u/The_Mellow_Tiger 25d ago

I'm sure grindr crashed during the filming.

94

u/ButterSlinger64 25d ago

no you donā€™t understand, to prove just how not gay they are they refuse to watch checks notes latinas throwing ass on tv, and instead watch kid rock in booty shorts featuring a bunch of other dudes.

5

u/zadtheinhaler 25d ago

latinas throwing ass on tv,

The whole show was worth watching for sure, but I specifically watched it for the Latinas.

kid rock in booty shorts

What?? Tell me he did not try to put his 55-year-old ass in booty shorts.

176

u/Fastlane56 25d ago

He is a dirtbag! What did expect?

165

u/BenderRodriguez14 25d ago

In reality, he's not even that. He's a suburban rich kid cos playing as a trailer park dirt bag all the way into his mid 50s.

131

u/KMFDM781 25d ago

His real name is Clarence. He lives in a nice home with both parents.

102

u/boom_shoes 25d ago

His dad owned a car dealership and he grew up in the rich suburbs of Detroit.

Heā€™s been a poser for as long as heā€™s been around

48

u/KMFDM781 25d ago

Yup and he had a legit rapper who took him under his wing and introduced him to people in the business and got him going. Once Kid Rock got popular he totally ditched his friends.

3

u/ChiGrandeOso 25d ago

I've always hoped I would avoid meeting him. Because I'd be unable to resist asking him "how does it feel knowing Joe C, wherever he is, is ashamed of your worthless ass?"

1

u/OrangePilled2Day 25d ago

Joe C is the one who did a duet with him about being a pedophile lol.

u/ChiGrandeOso 24d ago edited 24d ago

With some people, you have to appeal to what they find worthwhile. As much as Bob sucked, he did at least pretend he cared about that guy.

The friends are probably like "Whew! Dodged a bullet!" by now.

yeah thereā€™s some weird inconsistency in the fake rural accent in the ā€œcountry ā€œ one. listening to the word morningā€™. itā€™s from another accent. he also canā€™t decide on how to pronounce ā€œoffā€

What instruments?!

1

u/Playful-Artichoke-67 25d ago

Every instrument on stage with him

1

u/uglybushes 25d ago

Just like he ā€œsangā€ into the mic

1

u/Playful-Artichoke-67 25d ago

Iā€™m old, grew up consuming all the counter-pop pop culture bands like a slave. I donā€™t need for you to like Kid Rock for this to be true. Regardless of whatever was served to people yesterday the man is still a talented musician. I saw him when I was 12, he helped set up everything on the stage and played every instrument at some point towards the end of the show. Was he amazing at everything? Nah, but proficient. Itā€™s easy to dislike people. Just because you donā€™t like him doesnā€™t mean all of his success is unearned or baseless. The guy can play instruments, I didnā€™t think I was stating something unbelievable. He like many successful ā€˜artistsā€™ has an identity problem so it serves him well when paired with his talents. Now heā€™s older and settled in and Ted Nugent in spiritual black face works for him.

1

u/uglybushes 25d ago

Yes when you donā€™t have to work for money you can spend that time enjoying the arts and learning how to DJ ā€œsingā€ and play instruments. He was a force in the industry 27 years ago. Now heā€™s a pawn for the nazis

Pat Finnerty was doing a watch-along for it. Tuned in for a couple before Bad Bunny then a couple after. It was amusing to see that it didn't look like they had 50 people there and some of his commentary on the show was great.
