For those who are confused, it’s a joke from an old Australian YouTube video.
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 just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn’t fact check anything.
Here’s a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.
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.
If that’s not the perfect motivation to write a screenplay and cast yourself in it, I don’t know what is!
Get real drunk and then go out and do your best to get laid—except don’t get hard and while she’s lying on the bed, watching you…there you go.
He’s now in Aussie Crook Valhalla, enjoying endless succulent Chinese meals with Ned Kelly and Chopper Read.
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.
There’s a Futurama episode where they do this!
You mean Minority Report?
Thats… that’s the joke…
Well, whoosh me, then.

really tall guy from Jack Reacher
That’s Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.
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.
Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I’ve ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?
The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.
The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.
I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action… and the second movie was hot garbage.
Well that’s exciting to hear! I’ll definitely check it out now. Thank you!
The show is really good, and no offense to Cruise, but Ritchson is a much scarier looking dude.
I liked that he didn’t look scary, but was very dangerous. There are a lot of real people like that.
I thought Jim from The Office did the best job playing the character.
The sexiest man of 2024?
Oh, that really tall guy.
He’s not allowed to do that anymore, after he broke the first three.
Actually I’m imagining a heist movie where this guy’s makes a scene as a diversion while Tom Cruise steals some jewels or something. I’d watch that.
You couldn’t stage an arrest video that good. That man could project like a Shakespearean actor.
He actually was a stage actor who did Shakespeare, no joke.
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.
“Are you waiting to receive my limp penis!?!”
Crime coefficient at 178, non leatal force authorized.
Please aim carefully, and eliminate the target.
Less lethal just means more practice.
An opportunity to shoot them twice!
I hope the Agent knows his Judo well
DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.
Succulent with intent to commit wificide. That’s a twelve twenty-seven. Book 'em!
Haha oh my gosh, I was just talking about this the other day. This man is a fucking legend.
… was
How is this a joke? It’s literally just a weak book/movie reference.
The last panel is from a comical arrest of a gentleman.
“A comical arrest of a gentleman” is, itself, a perfect description, and made me laugh all over again.
Ah, obscure reference humor , definitely not my thing.
Considering it’s not obscure, it makes it seem like you’re trying to act pretentious about the subject of a simple comic. Not great optics for you.
Well, it is Australian.
Oh, darn, I guess my social cred in Lemmy has taken a real hit.
Ah I see. It wasn’t just that you were legitimately questioning the comic. You’re a troll. Glad you made that clear for everyone.
Oh, sorry your highness. OP must be punished.
WATCH IT NOW
IT VERY FUNNY
Oh.
Wasn’t this a futurerama episode?
No, it was democracy manifest.
It was, riffing on Minority Report from 2002
And that memed
britshAustralian dude bitching to the cops very loudly in a “how dare you sir!” ridiculous voice.“Get your hand off my penis!”
Which was itself riffing on The Minority Report by Phillip K. Dick from 1956 .
