Pop Culture Dog Puns

Continuing the tradition from last year, what were the funniest/wildest pop culture moments of 2021?

Some of my favorites:

• Paul Wesley confusing Madison Beer with a type of beer when asked if he likes her on ig live, saying "he never had that beer, but he likes most beer". (Bonus: he was then asked if he belives in larry).
• Megan Fox and MGK's whole... thing
• Kanye West and Jeffree Star dating rumors that started because of some unhinged tiktoker (the same week that the attack on Capitol happened lmao)

What are yalls favorite moments? Happy new year!!

What are some of the moments in pop culture where artists just fu*ked up really bad and started loosing everything from endorsement deals to getting boycotted from radios? How their crises team and PR handled it? Were they ever able to overcome it? What should be ideally done in such situations? I can think of Chris Brown in 2009 and Travis Scott resently.

I just watched the new Spider-Man and it got me wondering if there’s any characters like that but for Minneapolis. The only ones that come to mind are that kid from Disney’s Inside Out, Paul Bunyan, and Prince (I know he’s a real person though).

Are there any that I might not know about?

I've been interested in pop culture and all things celebrity for as long as I can remember. I'm 21 and remember the original Disney Channel drama (love triangles, relationships, etc). However, I can't pinpoint that one topic, scandal, or event that started it all. I just remember always knowing way more about celebrities than any of my peers and they thought I was weird for it lol.

Do you remember what started it all for you?

As much as Mad Men loves to explore "the pain from an old wound", it doesn't excessively traffic in nostalgia. But it's also a show about the culture of the 1960s, and it doesn't avoid engaging with the popular media of the day. I was thinking about the pop culture (music, television, and movies) that got multiple references on Mad Men and in some cases played a role in the plot (not counting clients or non-diagetic musical cues) and I thought I'd throw it out to reddit.

Here's what I came up with to get the discussion started:

Movies/movie stars:

-Bye Bye Birdy (besides the s3 episode, it's suggested to a client in s1)

-Rosemary's Baby (the story about Peggy's ad goes for a while)

-Godzilla in the NYE episode, maybe also Chrysanthemum and the Sword?

-Planet of the Apes (both Don and Roger take their son/grandson to it, with mixed success)

-Grace Kelly (people compare her and Betty at least three or four times, maybe more - I'm blanking on direct references to Hitchcock though?)

-Marilyn Monroe (the Jackie/Marilyn episode, the episode where she dies, and I think there's a reference to someone on Gilligan's Island as "the Marilyn Monroe redhead")

-James Bond (Megan makes fun of Don for reading Ian Fleming at some point and I'm pretty sure there's another reference to it)

-Paul Newman (Rachel references him early on and he's at the awards dinner when MLK was shot)

Music:

-The Beatles (Don takes Sally to see them and plays them at the end of an episode - a rare instance of* a Beatles song was sampled for television)

-Rolling Stones (all over "Tea Leaves", they must be referenced elsewhere though)

-Bob Dylan (Peggy and Kurt's not-date, Lou Avery's meltdown)

-Sinatra (Don and Peggy dance to "My Way", and I know there's another reference but I can't find it)

-Elvis (Pete remarks that JFK doesn't wear a hat like Elvis, and there's the guy at the resort who references Elvis while dancing with Megan)

Television:

-The Twilight Zone (at least two - Paul talks about it early on and Megan throws a tantrum in front of Rod Serling in s7)

-Peyton Place (book/film/TV, technically - Harry spoils it for clients and I think it's maybe referenced by one of the housewives in s1?)

Referenced once, I might be forgetting: Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, Star Trek (poor sad Paul), Dark Shadows, The Defenders, The Man from UNCLE, Green Acres

Literature:

-Frank O'Hara (Meditations from an Emergency comes up a bunch in s2)

-F Scott Fitzgerald (

I am a founder of this project and I genuinely believe that it has long term strength in the NFT space

Benefits:

The team is fully doxed and holds consistent AMA's

The discord has reached over 10k members organically, growing 6k members in the past week alone

The 2 latest POP$ originals just auctioned off at 1.5 ETH each (over 10k USD) with 3,333 derivatives being minted on January 16th 2022.

Website + roadmap + utility + WL available + floor sweeping + weekly server events

In my eyes this project may become something huge in the following weeks and well worth the investment

I'll share the links to their project here but please let me know your guys thoughts as my gut is telling me this project has a lot of potential to continue its trajectory

Greetings and salutations summons Heather’s fandom,

I’m a pop culture agnostic pagan, and it’s pretty hard to find us. We tend to get shunned and invalidated in most witchcraft spaces.

This is the only space where I absolutely feel comfortable with my practice. Fellow pcp, I’d love to hear about your practice!

What fictional character deities/guides do you worship/work with? What kind of systems of magick from books/anime/movies/video games?

Personally, I use the tunes from the Shadowhunter’s books (check out the shadow hunters codex, there’s literally like 5 pages of runes called ‘protection, prosperity, love, calm anger’ and more). I also incorporate a lot of Harry Potter spells and potions into my practice.

Deities/guides I honor are the Winchester brothers, Morgana from Merlin BBC, Gandalf, Rowena Ravenclaw, Loki from Marvel, and others I’m likely forgetting.

I look forward to reading the replies and thank all of you on this subreddit for being awesome! <3

Got here from TX about a month ago. My partner and I are owners of an incredible and good-natured large dog, so the dog friendliness here is awesome! However...I don't think that this is ONLY a Seattle problem by any means, but the "dog-owner" culture here can feel pretty obnoxious, and at times, even unsafe.

A lot of businesses are dog-friendly. Awesome! But many of these businesses can feel like they are not an appropriate space for a dog to be hanging out in - places that are small, cramped, and serve food, etc. I've already witnessed and been on the receiving end of really irritating interactions with dogs involving super small indoor spaces and food. Partner and I went to a restaurant that really prided itself on being dog-friendly, and had a set of rules laid out for dog owners dining in. None of which were remotely enforced in this incredibly cramped indoor space. A family with a very large dog came in and sat beside us and we had to play food-defense the entire time we were eating. The dog was large enough to rest its face on our table while standing on all-fours - and it definitely did. Ended up with a large smear of drool across our eating space. Dude?

There also seems to be a case of blurred lines arising from so many dog-friendly places. My partner and I were in Bartell's near our place the other day and there was a (clearly distressed) small dog in someone's backpack barking and growling loudly the entire trip.

The amount of unleashed dogs - mind boggling! This is pretty enforced in the city we are from and people feel strongly about it. Works for us, because our dog is always leashed. Doesn't seem to be the case in our neighborhood here. It seems that park spaces that are not intended for dogs are overrun with unleashed dogs. I support outdoor spaces for dogs - but these spaces should be for children and adults exercising and playing sports. There's about a million reasons that dogs should ALWAYS be leashed in public spaces - it is truly for everyone's safety, so this sucks to see.

Ultimately, this is 100% on the owners, and irresponsible owners ruin cool dog-friendly things for responsible owners. But...can we as a society recognize that at the end of the day, dogs are simply animals, and they can be unpredictable and genuinely put others at risk? And as sad as I am about it, not everyone is a dog person. People have traumatic experiences, allergies, etc. Not every space is a dog space.

EDIT: double negative correction.
