I have only just met this creature and I'm already struck with an instinct to protect, give lots of snacks, and fight anyone who attempts harm.

Every social group I've known has an amount of phrases/words that turn into a shortened series of sounds like this.

And they will occasionally have a negative reaction when hearing something similar from another group. Then I have to be all "mehbruhsernchris/mehsissernchris, we do the same."

I want to say I'm Plunder Pooch but deep down I know I'm a Hold-Up Hound.

I only ever saw random cutscenes for this and it never occurred to me that there would be a game attached to all of it.

Good ol' Robert Poverty. We used to call him Rob-Pov or Roverty Poverty when things got wild. Had a scheme for every day of the week. Tuesday was selling pudding cups that unknowingly had the lids pre-licked. He was never the same since he got his head dipped in the nacho cheese at the stadium.

Suddenly the Worker and Parasite joke from The Simpsons makes so much more sense.

I had a running joke with someone where one of us would proclaim "I CAN'T BELIEVE [NAME] WAS A VAMPIRE!" whenever we knew the other one hadn't seen a recent episode of something we were both watching.

I didn't even know they were gone and now understand the feeling of the world moving too fast.

I read this as you saying you're currently playing your best/worst game of the year and was trying to figure out which game could possibly fit those two extremes and realized I fail at reading comprehension.

Anyway, I'm going to bed.

Okay, fine, I'll go to bed.

I'm always the person who says "Well, the important part is that you communicate effectively and clearly. If you're able to do that, the specifics aren't important."

Then everyone's anger is turned towards me and accept my fate.

I've seen wikis that keep carefully curated lists like this. Perhaps it should be the standard for every fandom. I need to know the damage that Hank Hill, Butters, and Big Bird have done.
