      Do you want to get shot? The 90s were a simpler time.

        Someone doesn’t remember how ridiculously violent the 90s were.

            If you think that’s true, I feel like you didn’t live through the same 90s I did lol

              Carjacking generally doesn’t involve someone in one car stealing a second car.

            Rose tinted glasses, my dude. It also depends on the location. Most places I’ve lived have gotten A LOT safer in the past 3 decades.

            Shootings still happen, though.

        Violent crime is lower today than the 90’s.

    It was one of the gags in that family guy precursor pilot.

      For those that don’t know - in the UK these two actors also both played the role of the prime minister in two very different series. Paul Eddington was the PM in Yes, Prime Minister. A brilliant comedy about British politics. Ian Richardson was PM in the original version of House of Cards.

      Both were absolutely perfect in their respective parts.

        Yes, Minister (starting with series 2) is so so so good. It really said what they wanted to say.

        Yes, PM, (to me) never had the same oomph, but Eddington and Hawthorne are so damn charming it keeps you around.

          That’s true but “The Key” (Season 1 Episode 4) of Yes Prime Minister had me choking with laughter. One of the best episodes of British Sitcom ever.

    You still can lol

    Also you can ask “do you have any mustard?”

    And when they say no, you say “well then you’d better ketchup”

    Then you do a sick burnout and leave them eating dust

      So that’s what that one scene in “Blue Harvest” was referencing.

    On our trip into downtown Vancouver for our grad party , we had a limo and we were winding down the window the whole trip asking people if they had any gray poupon.

    We carried a jar of mustard in the glove box for precisely this purpose. We always hoped someone would ask!
