@donovanfaust3227 Ай бұрын

@@FinnTheTransBroAmerican here, I don't think meatloaf is actually that disliked by many who already eat meat. I do think we write a lot of jokes about hating meatloaf thinking about it now but its just a loaf of ground beef and breadcrumbs covered in some kind of sauce. Is it amazing? It can be but usually it's just okay. I think between it being a pretty basic and boring dish to make as well as its name, meatloaf, its easy to make fun of. I think also, it being so easy to make, part of the joke is that it's made way more often than it should so a kid gets sick of it after awhile. TLDR: The hate for meatloaf is probably played up more than it is actually hated here.

8:13 - that was such a moment in hindsight. It completely fooled them. "Well, that could have been worse." What a perfect way to lull them into a false sense of "I guess we can handle this!" to separate them. The amount of times Ben actually looked away in the beginning but it stayed - JUST to wait out until they could attack them one by one. When the guy screamed that it was lying to them, the nonchalance of the beginning felt 10x more sinister.
