I’ll draw out the path for you, because you and the previous poster seem genuinely confused.
Bill Paxton (shown above) is playing a character, Coconut Pete. He plays a character in a movie called Club Dread. A broken lizard production. In said movie, Coconut Pete’s music was ripped off by Jimmy Buffett. Specifically the song Pina-colada-Berg was turned into Margarita-ville. Pina Colada-berg is a bad song purposefully, because of parody law. The meme is that Coconut Pete would say this exact thing given the current news that Jimmy Buffet has passed away.
I hope now we can laugh together, but I doubt it because explaining a joke really cuts out all humor. Seriously take the advise given and just watch the movie to understand before posting. It’s not hard.
But it’s got a bunch of the “Super Troopers” guys in it. It’s ridiculous but fun, if you like B movie gore.And why I pronounce Penelope ,“Pee na lope”.
You are six comments deep on thread about a meme, about a movie, about a dead singer, played by a dead actor, that nobody remembers… IDK how you were even with me from the beginning let alone until I went wildly of the rails with “it’s not hard”. I’ll try to reign in my rudeness with people next time to make sure I secure your vote of confidence.
“Watch out everybody it’s the fucking fun police!”
(From the movie in case anyone needs the joke explained)
I think a lot of us here will fall under the “likes to obsess about fun little witty facts” type of neurodivergence. It explains why I was arrogant enough to ask for an explanation in the first place I suppose.
Honest question from a psych researcher: your self-disclosure about neurodivergence. Is that a self-diagnosis or clinical. Ive seena huge uptick in the term usage, especially on internet forums. Might be a good study to explore it’s etymological evolution over the past few years. Are you staying that members of the instance or members of the mod team are made up of neurodivergent individuals? Feel free to PM me if you don’t feel comfortable answering here. I don’t mind asking in public since you self-disclosed and public is always a good place to show the least bias to people.
Personally I think any sort of niche tech platform is the type to attract a “certain crowd”, and the more niche /anything/ is the more likely you’re going to run into someone that is absolutely all about it. Where I’m going with that is that I see neurotypicals as people that can see something, say cool, and foggetaboutit., but I and other people I know with ADHD or Autism are the opposite and find an abundance of cool and worth obsessing over.
So whenever I see people do “the thing that I do”, I’ll just assume they got a little bit of that neurodivergence in them. Whether they are neurodivergent or not, is a whole ‘nother question.
I do feel that it is more common to see it online because it is easier/more accurate today than it was 20 years ago to get a diagnosis and it’s more acceptable to think of it as a variable range of symptoms and not a set list of symptoms.
Edit: I think the science research term for it “personal bias” haha
Thank you for for candor and self awareness in your response. Helps me synthesize ideas about possible future investigations. The broadness of the neurodivergent spectrum inclusive defintion is a good and bad thing. The term has a nice ring to it, but its broadness means that their are a wider variety of malingerers on the outer edges. As the edges get wider the more of that happens. I am more fond of direct identification of diagnoses instead of the conglomerated term. What are your feelings about self-identifying or being identified as neurodivergent? To clarify the question, do you find the label positive or negative compared to the label ADHD?
I see it as a positive label. But I understand why it can be used to describe the “other” and how the other has always been used in the past as a negative.
In my professional experience, I rather say I have ADHD as a first, to prepare the relationship for what is to come lol (missed deadline, extensions, etc) and then later on when bugged about my quirkiness I’ll just call it being neurodivergent because it humanizes me and doesn’t label me as my disorder. It’s a way of saying I’m just different like that and think differently sometimes without being a super downer.
But that’s me, I’m very open to conversation about anything and I know some people are very private about their diagnoses.
Sorry I was cunty. Your explanation made me smile and now I’ve added the movie to my watchlist. A lot of the time we can get upset when we’re not in on it, or when we share something we are passionate about and people aren’t meeting us with the same enthusiasm.
No worries. Cunty is a fun way to be sometimes. Life shouldn’t be shades of niceness all the time. Glad your gonna take a watch. It’s a great B-movie with some solid jokes. Bill Paxton is great in it too. You’ll never say Penelope the same again after seeing it. And the ending is dope.
Or you could let us all in on the joke so we can laugh with you rather than wondering what podcast you’re talking about.
It’s from a movie.

Your comment helped me get the joke, I was never going to watch the movie. Thank you.

I was on your side until you said “it’s not hard”
Explaining a joke is significantly easier than getting everyone to watch a movie to understand it
Saying it’s not hard just makes you sound rude

ADHD diagnosed, inattentive and hyperactive.
