Americathon (1979) - a discussion

Hi, all. Does anybody remember a 1979 movie called "Americathon"? What it's about:

In the (then) not-too-distant future of 1998, the United States government is virtually bankrupt and in danger of being foreclosed on by a group of Native Americans, now owners of the massive Nike Corporation. A desperate President decides to make a last-ditch effort to save the country... by raising money with a telethon!

What do you think? I came across this film yesterday on another subreddit, and let me just say..... it's quite an experience. XD

[FREE] John Carradine as Uncle Sam in 'Americathon', Tinted

Hey there! I recently came across this photo of John Carradine as Uncle Sam from 1979's "Americathon". However, this scene was cut from the movie and I can't seem to find any other pictures from the scene. Could a generous and talented soul colorize the photo as if it was a 1800s tinted daguerreotype? I did a search for 'uncle sam 1800s' and several images came up as potential references, but maybe this one is the closest to the color scheme, yet in a tinted appearance?

Thanks much in advance!

EDIT: Thanks to GDM and CMoth, these are great.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
