The devil was the judge of the contest, cheated, and still lost. Says a lot about Johnny's ability.

Doesn't it really say much more about the devil's obvious and severe limitations?

Well yeah, he has to follow a contract most of the time. (Atleast in folklore). That’s what makes it neat. He’s beating the devil at his own deal.

He bet against the house and won.

FunkyMonk,

Maybe he just wants some freinds to jam with but nobody hangs out with someone horny without some gold and threats on the line, tales as old as time really.

Rolando,

FACT: gold is formed in the extreme heat of stars

FACT: Hell is known for its extreme heat

THEREFORE: gold is likely extremely common in Hell. The Devil was offering a worthless prize.

Mnemnosyne,

It’s not the heat but the pressure that does it. The heat in a star is the byproduct of the pressure, it’s not what causes the gold to form. And even then I think metals as heavy as gold only form in a supernova.

@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

Well, hell has both the pressure and the temperature of a supernova and you can't prove otherwise.

I bet the devil could you got a fiddle

meatand2veg,

I always thought that Johnny won the contest, but Johnny’s pride will eventually land himself in hell anyway, pride being one of the seven deadly. Devil doesn’t care that he lost and doesn’t flip out for that reason.

doingthestuff,

It isn’t pride to say you’re the best if you are. It’s a statement of fact.

flicker,

I always thought this but with the added twist that the Devil didn't actually lose. He chose to "lose" because he didn't want Johnny humbled. He wanted Johnny and all that pride to go across earth challenging anyone to believe they could be so good as to beat the Devil, inspiring more pride.

tslnox,

There’s a sequel exactly about this.

Guess who wins? :-D

Who judged that fiddle contest anyway? Were there like a panel of demons or what?

Also, I doubt a gold fiddle would have a very good sound. Plus, it would get all bent up because gold is soft.

Honestly, I have problems with the whole thing. It makes me doubt it’s true.

There is a sequel, where the devil comes back and challenges Johnny again.

Did he offer a more sensible prize?

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

He didn’t even offer a prize at all, saying Johnny’s own human ego and pride would be his undoing, that Johnny would play just for the prize of being able to say he really is the best.

Johnny recognised what the Devil was doing, still did it anyway, and it’s heavily implied he still won regardless. Based af.

That's just not a good look, though. "YEAH, WELL, I BETCHA WON'T FIGHT ME AGAIN, BRO! COME ON, PUSSY!"

Were there like a panel of demons or what?

Things were awkward when they all got home.

intensely_human,

When that song was written honor was so deeply ingrained into our culture nobody even questioned the idea of the devil admitting he’d been beat.

oompa loompa doopity doo

they signed the consent form, and so did you

HiddenLayer5, (edited )
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

Consent forms don’t protect you from negligence though.

They also don’t protect you from criminal charges which Wonka definitely has many of by the end of it.

VulKendov,

I think you mean a liability waiver

SturgiesYrFase,
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

Go ahead and try to rhyme that, I’ll wait.

WillFord27,

You signed a liability waiver, now you pay for your behavior

dalekcaan,

Mr. Rodgers? What are you doing in the taffy puller?

quindraco, (edited )

Oompa loompa

doopity daver

They signed the

Liability waiver

Oompa loompa

doopity date

You signed too

So it’s far too late

vithigar,

Pretty easy given that the Oopma Loompas literally just throw in nonsense words to make rhymes. The real issue is that it’s so many syllables that it would occupy almost an entire line of the song on its own.

Wouldn’t a gold fiddle weigh hundreds of pounds and sound terrible? 🤔

Sidhean,

What a well-thought-out response (I can’t see the comment you’re replying to)!

vaultdweller013,

Golded fiddle would soumd like shit and weigh too much.

it’s an old silly, hey! you could call it a meme! we used to genocide at low resolution!

Enkers, (edited ) in I've got another puzzle for you

Dame da ne, dame yo, dame na no yo…

ErKaf, in I've got another puzzle for you

I keep forgetting that he has only one eye.

dustyData,

Not only does he only have one eye, he has no nose. That’s a face-swap with Sully.

ErKaf,

I know that its a faceswap. But it looks normal to me now. Saw to many memes.

Piss one off and it will fly right at you.

feef, in Knock it the duck off

Even in iOS 17 the iOS keyboards autocorrect feels like it’s like 10 years behind the Of keyboards like SwiftKey at the time.

@ininewcrow@lemmy.ca avatar

Duck, no ducking way, that’s ducking funny.

This sentence has now ruined my autocorrect

dylanTheDeveloper, (edited ) in It is a helpful forum though
@dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world avatar

Worst is C code where people don’t specify what version there useing or they use features or functions from third party libraries they don’t include in the awnser when they post code (they post code with custom functions without pointing out it’s from an obscure git repo that requires a 1:1 ide setup).

And sometimes people posts code that appears to fix the problem but will end up causing massive code refractoring later

zaphod, in Knock it the duck off

I have the opposite problem.

GreenMario,

If it walks like a fuck talks like a fuck

Philote, in Knock it the duck off

“Fir” over “for” is my nemesis.

plz1,

Me too, so frustrating

germtm_, in Knock it the duck off

Duck! sorry, i meant to say duck.
