A Sad Day For Nerdkind

[Mischa]

[04:41] * Mischa throws a masterball and catches charlotte

[04:41] * Baby_Charlotte breaks free

[04:41] <Mischa> that settles it

[04:41] <Mischa> whatthef**k

[04:42] <Mischa> you can't break free from a masterball!

[04:42] <Baby_Charlotte> lol

[04:42] <Baby_Charlotte> I can

[04:42] <Mischa> bullshit you can!

[04:43] <Atroxia> You can if you're not data. =P

[04:43] <Mischa> its like having a mongorrian not get through a shitty warl

[04:43] <Mischa> you are data

[04:43] <Mischa> oh!!!!

[04:43] * Mischa throws a masterball and catches brent spiner

NOBODY in the chat even got that joke. It is a sad day for us nerds when you can make a Star Trek joke in a chatroom full of nerds and not a single person gets it.

I still don't get it and i've whatched star trek lol

[Mischa]

to be fair you also hafta know about pokemon lol

[Zander]

Hell, I think I get parts of it and even I don't get it ... or it's just not funny. If it is a joke (even a bad one), it requires a lot of background knowledge about very specific things to work out.

As far as I know:

A masterball is something from Pokémon - a container which holds a non-physical (i.e. an information/data) representation of an animal.

Brent Spiner played the character Data in the Star Trek ' The Next Generation' franchise

'[04:43] <Mischa> its like having a mongorrian not get through a shitty warl'

I don't know what the hell the above means, the closest thing I can think of is the 'Monicans' from Æon Flux.

i know about pokemon but never whatched oh well lol !

[Mischa]

the joke was cause Brent Spiner is Data....he can't escape from a masterball....it goes off what baby_Charlotte said in the snippet

in fairness i was dead tired when i posted this topic lol

[aleyxsis]

Did you know that brent spiner was that crazy long haired scientist in the independance day movie ??

[Santiago]

The Mongolians/wall thing is a reference to a South Park episode....

Sadly, I got the whole thing, super nerd here....

[Lost_Little_Sarah]

What do you get when you drop a piano in a battlefield?

Ab Major.

[sarah_ab]

i got hte reference to data... but i'm to old to get the pokemon reference.....

therefore... its a sad day for younger nerd kind.....

your joke fails because digimon are made of data where pokemon are made of what I presume is tasty meat.
