The Christmas before I went to college, my little sister got The Sound of Music on VHS. (Ask your parents.) She played that mofo 24 hours a day for maybe five zillion weeks. I may have nursed a grudge.

Yes, I do get the distinct impression you weren’t overly fond of that movie.
I always wondered where this plot point came from. Now I know.
You know, my grandfather was totally watching The Addams Family Values earlier today and the only part I saw was the part with the Sound of Music playing… o.O
I dont have any excuse, I just can’t stand that movie or play. I like musicals in general. Just not that one.
How do you solve a problem like Head Alien?
How do you chase that guy and gun him down?
He likes to fool your mind,
As he conquers all mankind,
Why did he build a monkey that’s an ape?
How do you solve a problem like… Head… Ali… en…?
How… does a… tree… branch… wield ulti… mate po… wer?
That explains so much about your comics.
I have a friend who is mortally afraid of ketchup, due to a sibling using it to torture her. I guess the same thing happened with that movie.
I’ve always wondered what was up with Roomies! and The Sound of Music. That explains a lot…
Explains everything.
My mom was the same way with The Music Man. Must have seen it fifty times. I still get a bit of an eye-twitch whenever I see those episodes of The Simpsons and My Little Pony that spoof “You Got Trouble”.
It’s a shame that it had to be my favorite musical ever. It really is good, but you can’t stand anything after being exposed to it that frequently.
What starts as a joke here becomes a lot less funny later. That’s the Cerberus Retcon for you.
Not that I mind. I love when unimportant jokes become hugely plot-significant and serious developments. I’m a Homestuck fan, after all.
I’m surprised no one else has yet commented on the fact that two strips ago Joe’s legs were clearly taped down, yet here he is flailing them.
According to Machete the psychological effect that causes abductees to find duct tape inescapable is implanted much stronger in some than others.
Damnit Willis I was born in 93, I know what a VHS is.
…I’ve totally seen them in museums!
(lol)
I was born in ’97 and I still know what a VHS is. I used to go to blockbuster all the time. I actually still have a ton of VHS tapes.
So, in the fourth panel, is he asking his fellow alien if he HAS the video, or is it a typo of him asking Joe if he’s SEEN the video.
That’s incredibly cruel.
My grandmother, aunt and sister all love The Sound of Music. Three generations. Don’t remind me of that bit in the greenhouse.
I like the idea of aliens deciding to screw with someone mentally but… the Sound of Music? That’s not torture, that’s a bloody party.
