25 Sarcastic Observations About Famous Movies
When we watch movies, there’s a certain suspension of belief we apply so that we can enjoy the experience. However, many movie details can stand out as rather absurd. Even popular movies and TV series have these ridiculous moments and the folks at Letterboxd have taken it upon themselves to find all these terrible plot points and highlight them in memes and posts. We’ve gone through the list to find the most nonsensical observations and shared them in the gallery below.
#1 In Don’t Look Up (2021), Meryl Streep Plays The President Of The Us
This acts as a reminder to the viewer that this movie is a work of fiction, given that the US would apparently prefer letting a convicted felon be president before a letting a woman in office.
#2 In The Blues Brothers (1980) Jake And Elwood Claim They Hate Illinois N*zis And Proceed To Drive Them Off A Bridge
This is an example of a movie that couldn’t be made today because somehow, criticizing N*zis is controversial.
#3 In Harry Potter, Jk Rowling Repeatedly Had This Character Sexually Harass Boys In A Bathroom For S**ts And Giggles. Myrtle Is A Cis Girl Though, So It’s Fine
#4 They Tried To Make A Breaking Bad Remake In Europe But Remembered That EU Has Public Health System So The Cancer Was Just Cured In The First Episode
#5 The Film Alien (1979) Depicts The Nightmarish Horror Of Someone Becoming Important At Work
#6 In The Trailer For Joker 2, Lady Gaga’s Character Says “Let’s Give The People What They Want”. Todd Phillips Then Proceeded To Give The People Possibly The Worst Sequel Ever Made

#9 In Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, There Is A Character That Is Half House Elf. This Implies That There Are Some Freak Nasty Things Going On In Wealthy Wizarding Households
#10 In God’s Not Dead (2014) Shane Harper’s Character Attempts To Convince An Atheist That God Is Real
After watching this movie as an atheist, I immediately converted and prayed that this movie would never be made again. The fact that there are now 5 of these movies proves that God is actually dead.
#11 In The Batman (2021), The Riddler Systematically M**ders A Ring Of Powerful White Collar Criminals For Embezzling Money From An Orphanage
Causing several children to freeze to death in an abandoned crackhouse. Allegedly, he is the villain of this movie.
#12 In Joker : Folie À Deux (2024) There Is A Sentence That Represent The Majority Of The Audience
#13 In Captain America: Civil War, Vision Uses A “Pinch” Of Paprika To Make Paprikash. This Is Wrong Because Paprikash Requires A Metric C**p Ton Of Paprika
#14 In Up (2009) It Is Implied In The Intro That Ellie Had A Miscarriage Or Is In Fertile
As a result, she and Carl give up trying to start a family. This is a reference to the fact that there are on average 400,000 children in US foster care that nobody cares about.
#15 In Home Alone (1990) Kevin’s Mom Goes On An Exhausting Journey To Get Back To Chicago
Traveling on many flights and in a stranger’s van. This turns out to be totally pointless when the rest of the family show up 30 seconds after she makes it home.
#16 In This Scene In Titanic You Can Clearly See That The Water Is Way Too Blue To Be Ocean Water
Making me to believe it was all one big conspiracy and that the Titanic never sank and Leonardo Dicaprio is still alive.
#17 In Dune (2021), Two Characters Get The Name Of The Planet Wrong And Nobody Corrects Them
#18 In Despicable Me 3 (2017) After Loosing His Signature Freeze Gun, Gru Pulls Out A Water Pistol And Sprays Bratt In The Face
Only to realize his mistake seconds later, implying he fully intended to shoot a man with a actual pistol point-blank.
#19 In Lolita (1997), It Became Clear That In 42 Years People Still Didn’t Realize That Wanting To Date Literal Children Is Very Freaking Creepy
#20 In Deadpool 2 (2018), A Portrait Of Karl Marx Can Be Seen Hanging In The X Mansion. This Is Because X Marx The Spot
#21 Upon A Closer Analysis Of First Class (2011), Is Safe To Say That After Transforming Into A Man And Later Reverting Back To A Woman, Mystique Is Indeed The First Ex-Man
#22 In Yesterday (2019), The Main Character Awakens In A World Where The Beatles Never Formed And The World Is Completely Wiped Off Their Music
This is incredibly depressing world, because John Lennon is still alive.
#23 In The Bear, Jeremy Allen White Is Absolutely Jacked
This is a reference that he is an actor, not an overworked chef who doesn’t go to the gym, smokes a pack of cigarettes a day and sleeps 3 hours a night.
#24 The Reason There’s No Sequel To Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Is Not That The Movie Failed To Impress At The Box Office
The cast liked making the first film, they all said they want to return for a sequel, but each time they agree upon a date someone ends up cancelling at the last minute.
#25 In Lightyear(2022), They Thought “A Sandwich With Bread Between Meat” Was Funny
Shanilou Perera
Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
