Combing the desert is repeating an old joke too.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I were to defend it, I'd say that the joke in this case is that they're still combing the desert 40 years later, which adds a little new humour to it.

Not sure I really want to defend it, though. Can't say this poster excites me. But it would excite me less if the subtitle were a purely nostalgia driven reference as well.

Nah, if i hear him personally saying "ain't found shit" for a second time, 40 years older, i will die in peace.

And it needs to be Tim Russ again.

“I may be ….. combing the desert again..!!!”, Russ posted, directly referencing his memorable scene from the first Spaceballs.

Lol of course
