Actually, purge night would be a great chance to fake your death. Since all crime is legal on purge night, Bob won't face charges of insurance fraud.
There could be a purge comedy about how boring old Bob from accounting broke into the morgue on purge night to steal a body. His original plan is to leave the body in his house and burn it down, sending the money to his wife who is dying of cancer. But then it turns out that the wife has hired a purge gang to kill Bob for the same reason.
The Purge has begun and I am dead-set on my mission.
Puts dark tint on car windows
Now for the final step...
Backs out of driveway and straight into a telephone pole because the tint was too dark
I would think insurance would just change policy to void claims from Purge Day. There's no way they're accepting life insurance claims for a day with insane amounts of murder.
They would just have insane rates and require expensive bunker installation and other anti-purge measures, and probably some gotchas in the policy like if you don't get in the bunker a full hour before purge begins they void your coverage.
What would happen the next day is the main reason why we don't have purge nights.
Yep. Consequences have existed a fuck ton longer than formalized laws. The whole concept falls apart once you think about what happens the next day.
So…we all aren’t purge, but deep down we think of the shareholders?
The lack of The Purge is the friends we made along the way.
I doubt people would admit to killing Bob the next day. But people would talk about the bullshit Bob made everyone put up with, and the motives leading to his death. And maybe that would curtail people doing bullshit on the daily.
I expect that after the first few purges, most of the people missing afterwards would be the poor and vulnerable who aren’t able to defend themselves from the group who just want to kill.
That’s literally the plot of the purge. It exists to get rid of poor people.
I haven't ever seen any of The Purge movies but either I heard or just always assumed that's why they all wear masks. Just because it's legal doesn't mean there aren't social consequences.
Yeah, if you kill a guy and brag about it, their next-of-kin just has to nurse that grudge until next Purge.
You don't ask where people are after the purge night. You know and you don't want to know.
John: "But why?"
You: "Marie told me Bob called me a cuck. Fuck that guy."
John: "That wasn't Bob from Sales, it was Bob from Accounts Payable."
You: pulls collar ehhh. whomp whomp music
Iunno maybe those movies just exist to reinforce the idea that the state's monopoly on violence is the only thing seperating us from 'savages'
I saw Savages in the theater, and I'm uncomfortable that this thin line is the only preventing me from watching it again
I only watched the first and it may well be the dumbest shit I’ve ever.
Same. There was some hype about it and i thought maybe it's not as dumb as it sounds. It's somehow so much dumber.
Jeff, you’re now in sales since you killed the sales team. Yeah, actions have consequences bud.
Why purge if you're going to have consequences?
I don't think it was ever shown as a "good idea". Wasn't it put up as a bread and circuses thing to placate the civic population from real problems, while the government did Very Bad Things?
Bob from sales was annoying as hell and I'm about 70% sure he was the guy stealing everybody's lunches from the breakroom fridge. Nobody should be surprised about this.
I heard he also microwaved fish the other day.
....So, Carol from accounting was a no show...
Carol, who denied my requisition for pens? Huh.
Snl bit
Sooooo.... Like one of those Rwandan National Unity and Reconciliation things?
Awkward doesn't even start until about 15-20 years after you murdered a bunch of people.
