For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.

you can learn about it here

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If I recall correctly he'd already committed plenty of white collar crime and by my guess assumed making a big show in front of the cameras would help him out, it really didn't.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

It helped us out

I've been on the internet for a long time and I'd never seen that one. You're doing God's work.

This is Democracy manifest

You read the rolling R's.

RIP "are you waiting to receive my limp penis?" guy. He died a couple of months ago.

“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

If that's not the perfect motivation to write a screenplay and cast yourself in it, I don't know what is!

He’s now in Aussie Crook Valhalla, enjoying endless succulent Chinese meals with Ned Kelly and Chopper Read.

Get your hand off my penis!

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 61 points 2 months ago

Ah, I see you know your judo well

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago (4 children)

This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

[–] hanke@feddit.nu 18 points 2 months ago

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago (8 children)

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

You couldn't stage an arrest video that good. That man could project like a Shakespearean actor.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He actually was a stage actor who did Shakespeare, no joke.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Fuckin a. It has to be the most theatrical video recorded arrest in human history

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

I'm seeing the video for the first time and discovered where was the beginning of this song sampled from: https://youtu.be/q07G2_zOEWA (badklaat - judo)

Interesting find.

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 28 points 2 months ago

"Are you waiting to receive my limp penis!?!"

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.

Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Succulent with intent to commit wificide. That's a twelve twenty-seven. Book 'em!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't this a futurerama episode?

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 30 points 2 months ago

No, it was democracy manifest.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

And that memed ~~britsh~~ Australian dude bitching to the cops very loudly in a "how dare you sir!" ridiculous voice.
