The box is, of course, from Hellraiser, and, yes, opening it is a really *bad* idea. What it has to do with the screenshot I have no clue. None of those guys look like Pinhead to me...

After some reflection, I think it has something to do with people becoming BLMs and getting BLM AF gear. Apparently they remind the OP of Hellraiser. Can't say I see it myself.

Yeap, because you can't not asumme that everyone is on you same age range, have your same taste for movies, etc. Been a movie from the 80 and since the majority of the people here is age 20-30 will be most likely to haven't watched something that came out when they where childs.

the blm coat and that without the headpiece makes people look like cenobites is what Vack was referring to. Just a bit less disfigured.

And it's a cult film, many people have watched it even if you haven't. Back to the future was created before hellraiser and I would hazard a guess that 90% of the people here have watched that.

Its hilarious (and so totally unexpected) that a silly post as such gets tainted with vitriol in any form.

People not knowing about the connection and asking what it is, or saying the joke wasn't particularly funny <> being a jerk.

All I could think of from the thread title has to do with a certain "The Lonely Island" song that involves a box...

It's not vitriol to have a different sense of humor than you, or to not understand a cult movie reference.

Now you using vitriol to describe anyone who disagrees with your sense of humor, or doesn't understand your oh so sophisticated joke IS (amusingly) vitriolic.

Examples of not vitriol :

"This isn't really funny to me."

"I don't get it."

Examples of vitriol :

"Of course I KNEW there would be a lot of people who just didn't get it. It's ok, I forgive you ignorant fools for not understanding my super witty sense of humor."

Shhh, stop trying so hard with your baseless presumption on what I am doing, thinking and trying to get across.

OutSTANDING.

Thanks Vackashken, even if some people don't get the joke ~ the rest of us do.

A lot of people actually have likely watched Clive Barker's Hellraiser, just like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elmstreet, and various other horror movies. Anyways, I think the OP was targeting those that would get the reference.

Your first response to someone not understanding your 'innocent laugh' was to call people uppity.

But yeah, totally baseless and presumptuous to call you out on being pompous and snobby when someone didn't understand your pathetic attempt at what you consider wit.

Pompous and snobby over such a post? Witty? Lol, you're really digging deep there. Stop trying to save face and analyze my intentions and this meaningless thread with your bitter nonsense. You're hilarious lol.

When I first got the AF Hellraiser happen to be on TV the night before. The picture was totally impromptu and the picture of cenobites jumped into my head as I laughed. Thankfully I am easily amused.

There could be 1000 things to do and you will still get the random "I AM SO FULL OF RAGE I PUNCH KITTENS IN THE FACE TO SUCK ON THEIR TEARS!" poster now and again. Some people just like to be dinks.

Lol, well as this thread proves... better to be easily amused than easily angered. :D

It took me a couple of minutes, but I finally got the reference. I thought it was a fantastic reference! Also, for those who haven't seen Hellraiser, I highly recommend it. It's a brilliant horror film - and it IS Friday, the 13th today.
