Red Dwarf - Psirens (1993)

As KRYTEN and LISTER head for the cockpit, the airlock monitor fizzes on again and a SECOND LISTER appears on the screen.

LISTER 2: What the hell are you doing taking off when I'm still outside? Let me in.

KRYTEN double-takes between the LISTER inside and the LISTER on the monitor.

KRYTEN: I'm afraid, sir, you're already here.

RIMMER steps down from the cockpit.

LISTER 1: He's a Psiren -- don't let him in. LISTER 2: For god's sake -- I can't hang on any longer. He's the Psiren. Let me in! RIMMER: What do we do? KRYTEN: there's no way to tell which is which. We have to let him in. RIMMER: That means we'll definitely have one Psiren on board. A brain- sucking psychotic temporal lobe slurper. KRYTEN: There's a fifty per cent chance we have one on board already. We can't risk killing the real Lister. I'm letting him in.

Are you telling me that if you remove the laugh track from red dwarf… you lose a comedy and gain a sci-fi/horror/drama?

[–] Sidhean@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lock one in the airlock, and confine the already-in one to quarters. If Outside Ramirez is bad but can't defeat the module's external shielding, this isn't a good plan. This has the downside of bringing Bad Ramirez to Earth but the upside of not forcing Either Ramirezs, good or bad, to fight for their life. Anyway, fucking love this. Thanks for reminding me of the horror of a Second Ramirez.

I vote to space them both.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

One of them is already spaced, the work is already half done

We bought this run-down house, my boyfriend and I. While he started working on converting the kitchen into the main bedroom, I insisted on removing the old wallpaper. The previous owner papered every wall and ceiling in the house! It’s a lot of work to remove, but it feels so good to get rid of it. The best feeling is getting a long peel, like when your skin peels after a bad sunburn. I turned it into a game, on the hunt to rip the longest piece possible.

I noticed there was a person’s name and date under a corner section of paper in every room. I couldn’t help but investigate and Googled those names. What I discovered left me speechless. The names all belonged to missing people, and the dates matched the day of their disappearance! We notified the police, who sent the crime scene team. I overheard one of them say, “Yeah, it’s human.” Wait, what’s human? “Ma’am, where is all the material you removed? This isn’t wallpaper.”

Oops, already ate it. Sorry, didn’t know it was evidence.

If you have not read it, I recommend you this short comic: https://emcarroll.com/comics/faceallred/01.html

Same dread feeling...

Twist: You've been in space for a couple years and there's only one Ramirez, you have an aggressive brain tumor.

And then, John was the Ramirez.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Ahh John, that glib fucker. All of us have hated him since he started. That leathery handprint of a face, those smug stitches. Never says a fucking word. Just stares with those lifeless eyes. Somebody called him Wilson once, that, got his attention. Now that he's one of us ... yeah, well, he's doomed too...

Two courses of action.

  1. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. Then you let the Ramirez outside in and do the same. You proceed trying to figure out what's going on. Who is the real one? Problem with this scenario is now you 100% have the fake one inside with you.

  2. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. You leave the one outside to die. Unethical, but now there's only a 50/50 chance the one inside with you is the fake one.

Alternate option if you're feeling really unethical is you just instantly kill the one already inside and also leave the one outside to die. Technically the safest option.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 53 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You look yourself at the mirror: You are Ramirez

Kick out the inside Ramirez and let them fight to the death. The winner is the fake one.

Won't someone please consider a time travel option??

Oh I've seen this one.

You tie them both up. Set them down on a couch next to each other. Get each of their blood into a dish. Then you take a flame thrower, heat up some metal and apply it to each dish of blood. Easy.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 21 points 2 days ago

And then your buddy with the working flamethrower stands there like a total moron and gets killed for it.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Everyone knows the correct answer is the alternate option, but the first one makes the initial drama and sets up the opportunity for a movie to happen in the first place.

Coming soon to theaters: Among Us

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I hate how fucking plausible this joke is, if this actually happens I'm holding you personally accountable

Narrator: From the brilliant minds that mildly regret they brought you "The Emoji Movie."

"Guys wait, it's not me!" (Gets spaced and the rest of the cast grimaces and goes "OOOooo...😬")

(Awkward pause)

"...I'm okay!"

Narrator: "Comes an adventure..."

"Guys I think Randy's kinda sus."

"Why's that?"

(Randy farts)

Randy: "Wasn't me...? Hehe?"

Narrator: "...about knowing who you can trust..."

"One of us is an imposter , if we don't find out who it is we're all doomed!"

"What are we supposed to do we don't even have hands!"

Narrator: "...and who's kinda sus..."

(Body found)

Narrator: "Starring...Chris Pratt..."

"Ewww....who knew we had like...one bone?"

Narrator: "...Wanda Sykes..."

"Gary! Are you for real right now?!"

"I STRESS EAT FOR SELF-CARE WHEN I'M HUNGRY OKAY?!"

Narrator: "...Dwayne The Rock Johnson..."

"Guys...heh...come on..(smile twinkle)."

Narrator: "Danny DeVito..."

"It could be any one of us, but DEFINITELY not me I was doing the beep boop thingy with the doodad right over here...IT WAS DEFINITELY MEGAN."

Narrator: "...And John Cena..."

"You didn't see me do anything...you didn't see nothin!"

"...Does that work better with hands?"

"...yeah..."

NARRATOR: " ...As "Probably not the Imposter"...this summer...."

AMOOGOOS

Not sure who wrote this specifically but a bunch of Clickhole 'celebrity quotes' were written by Joe Kwaczala who is hilarious.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Speaking of US space program, Clickhole also revealed the greatest presidential speech ever that was never delivered. ...oops, this isn't quite like I remember reading it - maybe this is a different draft?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure there's an xkcd comic joking about the backup speech in case they returned with more astronauts than they left with

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 53 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Not far off from the plot of the 2009 film Moon

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 55 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Quite far off from the plot of the 2007 film Shrek The Third though.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

🌈✨⭐

These are the insightful observations I keep coming back to Lemmy for.

What do you mean? Doesn't that imply there's three Shreks? Sounds pretty close to me.

[–] RichardTickler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Such a great film. And a great piece of commentary on how capitalism treats employees as disposable assets.

Sci Fi often skews left, doesn't it?

[–] M137@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

This is referenced in Warframe in a couple of ways at different points in the game. For example: You have a kinda schizophrenic ship AI, and while you're floating in space he says this sometimes:

"KNOCK KNOCK! ...Now who would be knocking all the way out here?! Operator, I don't think you should answer that." (Here's a clip: https://youtu.be/ilHi4LeKZmM)

I'll not mention the others since I'd say they're spoilers.

maybe it makes you think but I'm built different

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’d get the rest of the crew near or in the module and discuss the next course of action.

"Ramirez. Suit up. You're gonna go out there and you're not coming back in until there is only one of you left."
