They aren’t even married!

Location: Joyce and Sarah's dorm room
Somehow the person who incessantly interrupts and talks over the movie about stupid shit is the good guy here. I don’t understand it either.

Incessant moralizing: If your not ruining other peoples fun, you’re not doing it right.
“Puritanism – the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
— Henry Mencken
I wouldn’t go that far. There are times when talking over the movie does make you the good guy. After all, as the great Joel Hodgson once said, “movie riffing is too important to be left to the professional.”
Sadly, Joyce is not riffing, she’s just being an ass.
We’d have to know how good the movie is to know whether Joyce is in the right here.
Not necessarily. See also: Rifftrax’s Casablanca.
The keyword here is “stupid” shit. Most MSTings are actually funny and have more random, obscure references than a scene from Angels in America.
“Hey, she’s got Mike’s keyboard!”
Oh you were such a good little boy back then. Do you think your younger self would be ashamed of what he has become or delighted?
Reading this juxtaposed with today’s DoA is… wow.
Yeah, that’s what 15 years of exposure to the internet will do to ya!
I don’t recall any sex scenes in The Rock, and I doubt that Joyce would think the Gimp scene in Pulp Fiction is okay if they were married, so I can only assume that this is some X-Rated director’s cut of the Care Bears movie I was unaware of.
“Oh Heartshine Bear, don’t stop”…Yep, never getting that image out of my head. Childhood ruined.
Let’s face it, childhood is ruined.
So what was Joyce calling “disgusting” just before the sex scene?
Joyce was supposed to be the good guy in this comic? I thought she was supposed to be obnoxious my first read through.
Okay, I completely disagree with Joyce but I still think this comic is funny. I think it’s the “Yeah! I mean, no!” that makes me chuckle.
Willis’ writing level has reached “Chick Tract” with this one. Because of COURSE all atheists and non-Christians KNOW that they’re living in sin and on the path to ruin, they just doing it for the Evulz.
It could be worse. She could be talking in the movie theater.
Wow y’know I know a few Christians that are fans of some R-Rated movies. A Very Christian freind of mine is a fan of Red vs Blue for crying out loud.
I guess me and Willis of the past come from different branches of the same faith.
I’m christian, and I imagine my initial interest in watching ‘adult stuff’ was some for of rebellion on my part by watching stuff (like Love Actually) which, it turns out, they were totally fine with. So I guess I’m like you in that respect.
This was the exact same reaction I had upon watching my first R-Rated movie, “40 Year Old Virgin”. I was 15 I think. Yeahhhhh, except I didn’t speak out loud or anything since it was in the theater. The guys that I went with hadn’t realized that the movie was going to be about that at the time and apparently didn’t know it was R rated either and apologized afterwards. It was the last time I watched an R-Rated movie until I was about 18 and we had a church showing (minus the kids of course) of Passion of the Christ. Good movie, but haven’t watched an R-Rated movie since then. Just won’t do it.
I don’t think I like this Chick Tract/MST3K crossover.
I always find the presentation of ‘Christians’ and ‘Christian Values’ in both this comic and American culture in general to be very, VERY strange… probably because I grew up in the United Church of Canada, which has all the fire and brimstone of a tacky, unopened Yuletide Log DVD stuffed in a box in the attic with all the unused ornaments from Great Aunt Velma. My entire theological teaching boiled down to two precepts: “Love Jesus cause he was swell and nifty, we think” and “don’t be mean to people.” The idea of moralizing at people because of God is foreign to me – hell, we used grape juice at Christmas communion only because it was so much cheaper than wine, not because we held wine to be sinful. Whenever an American would pejoratively use the term ‘Christian,’ my word choice is ‘pushy,’ or ‘kind of a bitch.’
Given the choice between being stereotypically Canadian and stereotypically Christian, your church apparently chose the former.

Some churches are much more awesome than others.
Unfortunately, one of the things that make the “others” un-awesome is that they’re under the impression that they get to tell everyone else what to do.
Wait, we’re supposed to be on her side in this situation? But she’s so… Awful right now.
