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

you can learn about it here

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

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.

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.

Get your hand off my penis!

Ah, I see you know your judo well

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

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

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.

Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Less lethal just means more practice.

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Haha oh my gosh, I was just talking about this the other day. This man is a fucking legend.

How is this a joke? It’s literally just a weak book/movie reference.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The last panel is from a comical arrest of a gentleman.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago

"A comical arrest of a gentleman" is, itself, a perfect description, and made me laugh all over again.

What is this, Person of Interest?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Wasn't this a futurerama episode?

[–] leftzero 29 points 6 months ago

No, it was democracy manifest.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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