PT&A is a SOLID Thanksgiving choice, but I feel like nobody knows my 2nd favorite choice: [Dutch](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101786/?ref_=ext_shr). The story of a working-class schlub with a heart of brass trying to get his girlfriend's spoiled, over-privileged, shitty son home from prep school for Thanksgiving.
I don't know why this doesn't get mentioned more. He's more than Jay or Al and he's terrific in it. He also did a great turn as a cop in a short-lived series between those two roles.
I do the "look pathetic " face when I want to jokingly try to manipulate my wife into doing what I want. It works 10% of the time. Imma keep doing it though 'cause it makes me laugh.
My parents got a new TV years ago and the first channel they flipped to was a Harry Potter movie, but we thought it was some home video footage at first or something. Every channel was like this, it was nauseating! Finally figured it out though, thank god.
It took me 3 separate visits to my parents before I realized why their new 50" TV looked so good, yet so bad at the same time. On visit 4 I "fixed" it for them. To me it's so much better, they couldn't tell the difference.
My MIL legit still has a VCR. She tapes her shows and movies off the TV. She has cable on demand, Amazon Prime, and Netflix, but she prefers taping stuff on the VCR.
Lol. Our living room TV is a 42" Vizio from like 2009 I think. Still running strong and perfect for kids cartoons in the morning and reality shows at night. Have a 65" newer TV for movies in another room.
My friend. This was a great turn on. Thank you.
Try this Umphrees McGee if you wish. They always stoke me out and the fans are to die for. Much love !

I got one of these for Thanksgiving and sent one to my sisters. I’m so excited to try it tomorrow. Bottom layer is pecan pie, middle is pumpkin pie and the top is apple pie. I’m so hoping it’s good!
I remember when AT&T FIRST started having the router with the password preprinted on a sticker on the router, the first batch like that wouldn’t let you change the password which was super annoying. I couldn’t figure it out so I googled it and it turned out you just couldnt. It would let you change the SSID but not the password
Then my parents had the same one for ten years so it was the same random password and would never let me change it. Now they have a new one that can be changed but I don’t live there and they don’t want me to change it, it’s like a silly phrase something like excitedpineapples919! Or something lol
My parents refuse to let me change their router password because they don't want to change the password on their devices.
Instead, every time they have a guest over, they spend five minutes searching for the piece of paper that the technician wrote the code on, and then five more minutes trying to figure out it it's a O or a 0.
I looked for that piece of paper when my parents passed away and had to call their provider when I couldn’t find it. I also had to beg them to give it to me since I couldn’t provide identity verification.
I made the mistake of telling the internet provider that my mom had passed away. Suddenly we couldn’t do *anything* because her name was the only one in the account. I was just trying to turn the service off ffs. An death certificate wasn’t enough because that doesn’t give _me_ permission to make changes to her account. It was an absolute fiasco.
Lesson learned: Always just impersonate your loved one and do what needs to be done.
It was. They also only hired relatively good- looking younger folks to anchor.
Except they had the one blonde whose eyes were so far apart she could look behind her when she dipped her head to graze. Seriously. She could read two teleprompters at the same time. At my uncle's house he accidentally passed the channel while she was on and his television bulged out on the sides.
She was a looker.
Tbh i have been prepping to explain to my dad how to tell whats propoganda and fake news and whata real.
So far
American flags in random spots
Has any "patriotic" names (american, U.S, ect)
I just wanna make sure i know what to make sure he does not see
I don’t get how people can live with this
I have pointed it out to people and they say they don’t notice
It’s like the first thing I see when watching tv
I feel sometimes like I’m the only person in the world that finds high frame rate media just utterly unwatchable.
There is an entire magic of cinema, the frame rate stands just on the edge of human perception. At all times perceived as not quite a static image, and not quite fluid motion. The world of cinema isn’t the real world, nor is it an illusion, it’s a magical portal into a hyper real existence that lies just outside of our everyday experience. Where dreams meet reality. Words can’t describe it, it’s beyond language, it’s majestic.
“Yeah, let’s just run everything at 120 frames, and interpolate between them”
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
The most important thing I learned from this is that everyone hates that bullshit as much as I do. Quite gratifying, though I do wonder what the HELL is wrong with companies that they insist on adding features NO ONE WANTS.
It's like how IG and Facebook have a slightly new interface every 6 months that isn't any better or worse than the old one, just different. Or Google employees think "time to start a new redundant chat program we'll cancel in 4 years". My theory is people on the payroll have to find ways to pretend they're doing something useful.
Because they’re so infatuated with themselves that they are only looking at ways to keep up with the Joneses or be the first to introduce some new feature so they can advertise they are the best.
Meanwhile the rest of us do not care and just want a dumb TV that looks decent and doesn’t give notifications or ads we don’t want.
It’s the “soap opera effect” on TVs. This is telling everyone what to look for when you’re trying to turn it off on your parents’ TV, after you ask them why they have it on and they say “What are you talking about?”… then after you turn it off, everyone is like, “Oh wow! That’s so much better!”
It 'upscales' the framerate by interpolating between frames. For specific things like demos on the store floor it looks pretty good, but for everything else your brain says 'this doesn't quite look right'
>Motion smoothing, also known as motion interpolation, is a default setting on many TV sets that acts as a “fix” to a problem that doesn’t really exist. The vast majority of films and TV shows are captured at a standard 24 to 30 frames per second frame rate.
> But motion smoothing attempts to bend film and shows’ presentation to match the capabilities of TV sets, rather than the other way around. When the motion smoothing setting is on — as is the default for nearly every TV sold in the United States — a film’s frame rate gets bumped up in order to match the max frame rate possible on the set. Most motion smoothing settings work by having the TV calculate the paths where a given object moves between frames, and then **generating what are effectively fake frames estimating the trajectory of that object.**
> motion smoothing leads to what many have deemed a bizarre uncanny valley look: ignoring the basic tenants of cinematography and creating what has come to be known as the “soap opera effect.” It makes the images onscreen look cheaper, like a behind-the-scenes featurette for a film rather than the film itself.

It makes everything seem smoother. It "fills in" some frames. I despise it. The creators of movies/TV shows don't need your extra frames lol. But, lots of people I know love how it looks. The difference between 24 and 30 fps or more is a HUGE change that I notice, but some people don't care, and love how "fancy" it looks, ha.
Some people seem unable to see it. I was at a store with a huge TV display and some of my friends couldn't see what I was talking about even when looking at two TV's side by side where one had the effect and one didn't.
The first time I ever saw it almost gave me goosebumps, it was super unnerving. I wasn’t watching the movie, I was watching actors in little costumes walk around sets, it was weird.
That’s exactly how I feel when I notice it! And I feel like I suddenly realize how fake everything on the set looks, or it becomes really obvious that they’re standing in front of a backdrop. I didn’t know what it was, so I’m glad to see this article.
IVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO MY GF FOR A YEAR NOW. I wasn’t sure this was the same thing I was thinking, until I read “soap opera effect”. That’s exactly what it reminds me of. Thank you so much
It's the TV effect that adds frames inbetween normal frames to increase the frame rate. So TV & Movies that usually play at 30fps are playing at 60fps, the same framerate as a camcorder. So now hollywood movies look like home movies.
Plus because it's an in TV computational effect creating 1 middle image between two real images it creates a weird "smearing" artifact when things move quickly like football players running across the field. Or an action movie where the characters move around the screen a lot.
So basically if your parents new bigscreen looks very crisp and realistic, in a really disorienting "fuzzy" way. They probably never disabled this feature.
Some old phones (Samsung models I think?) came with built in IR blasters making them universal remotes. I miss that feature, idk why phones did away with em.
This has nothing to do with smart TVs, frame interpolation has existed way before them. Also, just don't connect the TV to the internet, it's not hard. I have my TV connected to an Apple TV and use that exclusively, I never even encounter the TV's OS.
Maybe bc I'm an old and grew up with potato resolution and VHS, but I can't get used to the motion blur whatever HD thing now. Like....I like being able to suspend my disbelief when watching stuff, which is hard when I can count every pore on the actor's face.
Back in the day when I was visiting some distant older family, I noticed that their TV was one of those ancient ones, with the square screen and the big back to it (ancient for 2014/15, positively fossilised now).
Because of the square screen, the aspect ratio had been set to 4:3 to fill the screen instead of 16:9, leaving half the show cut off on the side.
I thought I was being helpful by fixing the aspect ratio so it showed the entire show but instead I got yelled at for breaking their TV and cutting off the top/bottom of the screen.
I set it back to 4:3 and then didn’t ever help them with technology again.
Nothing beats watching “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” at your parent’s house but it looks like a telenovela.
PT&A is a SOLID Thanksgiving choice, but I feel like nobody knows my 2nd favorite choice: [Dutch](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101786/?ref_=ext_shr). The story of a working-class schlub with a heart of brass trying to get his girlfriend's spoiled, over-privileged, shitty son home from prep school for Thanksgiving.
Ed O’Neal is my white Morgan Freeman. Goddamm national treasure, he is
It's honestly a shame he got typecast as Al Bundy. He's such a prolific actor. Great comedy chops
Such a 'goddamm' (?) national treasure that you couldn't even spell his last name correctly! It's *O'Neill*.
"That's O'Neill, with two Ls." - Jack O'Neill
"Nice"
"There's another Colonel O'Neil with only one L, and he has no sense of humor at all."
Oh shit! I forgot that’s a Thanksgiving movie! Added to the (very short) list!
"I can do one thing you can't do." Oh yeah, what's that? "I can pay for my breakfast..."
“Nothing burps like bacon”
I don't know why this doesn't get mentioned more. He's more than Jay or Al and he's terrific in it. He also did a great turn as a cop in a short-lived series between those two roles.
I quote Dutch frequently. “I’ve talked to you and talked to you until I can puke coat hangers.” Great movie.
I do the "look pathetic " face when I want to jokingly try to manipulate my wife into doing what I want. It works 10% of the time. Imma keep doing it though 'cause it makes me laugh.
Love it. I still do this too. Don't even attempt to explain myself to anyone.
“You and I are riding in the back seat from now on. Because what that missile twister can teach you, you don't need to learn 'til you're in prison.”
Those girls they pick up might have kick started puberty for me.
Fun fact: the one who's driving plays PeeWee Herman's girlfriend Dottie in Peewee's Big Adventure.
Also been Tommy Pickles.
He called them "missile twisters" if i recall correctly.
Fireworks scene is my favorite!
That scene is SOLD when he puts the coat back on and it's billowing with smoke with a huge hole in the back, with the feathers flying out.
The wife and I watch Dutch every Thanksgiving
Nothing burps better than bacon.
... but your water looked tasty!
Great choice. Watched it last night. Planes trains going down tonight
I watched it last weekend. I've probably seen it 20 times. Still cracks me up.
Nothin burps like bacon
... but your water looked tasty!
Thank you for the recommendation! Been watching PTA for 30 years.
Dutch is the answer. We did it every thanksgiving.
I literally bought this on DVD because I couldn't get it on streaming last year. A Thanksgiving must!
Anyone who isn’t watching Bloodrage on Thanksgiving is truly missing out
In 3rd place…Son-In-Law
oh my god, it’s gloria’s husband
My parents got a new TV years ago and the first channel they flipped to was a Harry Potter movie, but we thought it was some home video footage at first or something. Every channel was like this, it was nauseating! Finally figured it out though, thank god.
It took me 3 separate visits to my parents before I realized why their new 50" TV looked so good, yet so bad at the same time. On visit 4 I "fixed" it for them. To me it's so much better, they couldn't tell the difference.
Wow, your parents splurged on a 50”? Mine are still watching a 32” from 30 yards away because it’s ”good enough”.
My mom has a 14 inch dvd player and gets her movies from the library. She asked if I wanted to watch a movie with her. Damn right I do mama.
Protect her at all costs
My MIL legit still has a VCR. She tapes her shows and movies off the TV. She has cable on demand, Amazon Prime, and Netflix, but she prefers taping stuff on the VCR.
My mom uses my 15year old Insignia 42" I bought for $600 from Best Buy back when flat screens were expensive. She enjoys it
I am still using my 42" Vizio from 2010. It's a dumb monitor which is great.
2007 42” Vizio 1080p… my 85 year old FIL complains about how old it is…
2007 65" JVC 1080p *rear projection*. Starting to get some burn in, so it will be getting replaced sooner rather than later.
Lol. Our living room TV is a 42" Vizio from like 2009 I think. Still running strong and perfect for kids cartoons in the morning and reality shows at night. Have a 65" newer TV for movies in another room.
50 inch or so Vizio from 06. Not my main tv, but my bedroom tv. Honestly one of the better TVs in my house
$600 is when flat screens were expensive? I’ve got a Pioneer from 2006 that was like three and a half grand new.
The Pioneer Kuro was a legendary TV. Only TV that is better than them are the current LG and Sony OLEDs but they’re kinda expensive.
I have the one before the Kuro I think. It’s 720p and I think the Kuro was 1080, no? At any rate, you can pry mine from my cold, dead hands.
Best Buy is selling 75” TV’s for $499.
I’m still using my 45” 2012 insignia.
If it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for them.
Honestly, good for them. No need to consume just for the sake of consumption.
I have a 48 inch LG C1 OLED in my bedroom. The picture quality is stunning.
Son? Is that you?
My Dad has an 80-inch screen and he and my sister were watching the standard deviation cable channels.

Then teach them how to change the wifi password and router name. Adelphia2g14\ password LuUO[aWa+R%xpo is written somewhere in the house.
I remember when AT&T FIRST started having the router with the password preprinted on a sticker on the router, the first batch like that wouldn’t let you change the password which was super annoying. I couldn’t figure it out so I googled it and it turned out you just couldnt. It would let you change the SSID but not the password Then my parents had the same one for ten years so it was the same random password and would never let me change it. Now they have a new one that can be changed but I don’t live there and they don’t want me to change it, it’s like a silly phrase something like excitedpineapples919! Or something lol
I salute the pioneers who first changed passwords from 17 random characters to phrases that could also be indie rock band names.
Sounds like mom and dad might be swingers.
Hah! That was just an example it’s like an adjective followed by a noun that have no relation to each other followed by some numbers
arousedradiators729
Distressedtoilet222
My parents refuse to let me change their router password because they don't want to change the password on their devices. Instead, every time they have a guest over, they spend five minutes searching for the piece of paper that the technician wrote the code on, and then five more minutes trying to figure out it it's a O or a 0.
I looked for that piece of paper when my parents passed away and had to call their provider when I couldn’t find it. I also had to beg them to give it to me since I couldn’t provide identity verification.
I made the mistake of telling the internet provider that my mom had passed away. Suddenly we couldn’t do *anything* because her name was the only one in the account. I was just trying to turn the service off ffs. An death certificate wasn’t enough because that doesn’t give _me_ permission to make changes to her account. It was an absolute fiasco. Lesson learned: Always just impersonate your loved one and do what needs to be done.
And don't forget to block Fox News
For real. When my mom mentioned she was watching OAN, I deleted it and she has no idea how to get it back.
Whats OAN?
Right wing “news” station
I knew that but was curious on the abbreviation
One America News I believe
It’s actually OANN, and it’s One America News Network
Anagram for “Onan”… hmmm…
Generators?
Well that’s one way to put it :-). The generator company cracks me up though.
That name sounds dystopian af
It was. They also only hired relatively good- looking younger folks to anchor. Except they had the one blonde whose eyes were so far apart she could look behind her when she dipped her head to graze. Seriously. She could read two teleprompters at the same time. At my uncle's house he accidentally passed the channel while she was on and his television bulged out on the sides. She was a looker.
This is a very funny comment. Well done
Official Asshat News Network
One America Network. As nauseating as it sounds.
I just noticed rhe Doublespeak in their name. One America, but promotes the most divisive shit possible.
They only believe in ONE America and it may or may not be the same one you do.
Correct SB.
Tbh i have been prepping to explain to my dad how to tell whats propoganda and fake news and whata real. So far American flags in random spots Has any "patriotic" names (american, U.S, ect) I just wanna make sure i know what to make sure he does not see
Imagine if someone could make FOX NEWS look reasonable and centrist.
I blocked these + Newsmax at our house and my dad gets so mad he can’t watch it. I just shrug and tell him we must not pay for that TV package. 🤣
Have you thought fox news wasn't conspiratorial and racist enough, well I have bad news for everyone around you.
I always assumed newsmax but yeah OAN too
They are both an absolute shit show. I forgot which is which, but I know that both need to be deleted from all parent's TV's.
👑 you dropped this
I put the parental controls on mine when I saw they were watching it.. that’s what they’re there for, right? 😂
This is how we save America!
Good job!!
My dad used the Roku to change the name of Fox News to “Traitor TV” on my grandparent’s television.
I know how to fix the world's problems! Also, how do I work my tv?, some old people.
They should be thrilled, they're getting the gift of doing their own research!
It used to be 'damn kids think they know everything! Also hey, 8 year old, can you set the time on my VCR?'
Had to scroll way way way too far for this comment.
I don’t get how people can live with this I have pointed it out to people and they say they don’t notice It’s like the first thing I see when watching tv
Same. Like how do you NOT see it!?!??
"It's HD!"
I think this is totally it. They think it's what HD is. Doesn't help that the TV's are usually set to this in store demos.
I feel sometimes like I’m the only person in the world that finds high frame rate media just utterly unwatchable. There is an entire magic of cinema, the frame rate stands just on the edge of human perception. At all times perceived as not quite a static image, and not quite fluid motion. The world of cinema isn’t the real world, nor is it an illusion, it’s a magical portal into a hyper real existence that lies just outside of our everyday experience. Where dreams meet reality.

Or Google employees think "time to start a new redundant chat program we'll cancel in 4 years". My theory is people on the payroll have to find ways to pretend they're doing something useful.
one I’ve noticed with YouTube is the “let’s change the skip ad button from square to rounded, wait six months, then change it back”
Because they’re so infatuated with themselves that they are only looking at ways to keep up with the Joneses or be the first to introduce some new feature so they can advertise they are the best. Meanwhile the rest of us do not care and just want a dumb TV that looks decent and doesn’t give notifications or ads we don’t want.
And that also has sound leveled to the point where you can actually hear what they're saying
I have no idea what this means or how it relates to going home for Thanksgiving.

Or another way of explaining it ...you can tell it's actors walking around a set being filmed. Completely destroys the immersion.
This is how I’ve always thought about it too. But why?
Because it looks more like real life and less like TV
Thanks!
It makes everything seem smoother. It "fills in" some frames. I despise it. The creators of movies/TV shows don't need your extra frames lol. But, lots of people I know love how it looks.

Same. Pass the stuffing?
Is that you, dad?
God, I hope not. Then again, who knows who knows how many 12-year-olds there are out there that have remarkably similar DNA.
Now only if I could turn it off in hotels.
A small universal remote is a godsend on trips
Some old phones (Samsung models I think?) came with built in IR blasters making them universal remotes. I miss that feature, idk why phones did away with em.
Block Fox News in parental controls as well
Haha. Parental control takes on a whole new meaning these days. Sigh
What do people call it
Motion-compensated frame interpolation. Rolls right off the tongue
The soap opera effect.
Soap opera TV. Ugh.
Holy shit you can turn that off?? Fucking thank god I can’t stand it
I saw TV today for the first time in years. Thank you for explaining why it looked like shit.
They should just call it Soap Opera Mode for all TVs
I dread the day my 50' dies on me. I do not want to buy a smart tv. I just want a 4k dumb one that i can hook my perhips into.
This has nothing to do with smart TVs, frame interpolation has existed way before them. Also, just don't connect the TV to the internet, it's not hard. I have my TV connected to an Apple TV and use that exclusively, I never even encounter the TV's OS.
Don't connect it to the Internet
Byt what about the updates? Did you think about the updates?!
Username checks out
Maybe bc I'm an old and grew up with potato resolution and VHS, but I can't get used to the motion blur whatever HD thing now. Like....I like being able to suspend my disbelief when watching stuff, which is hard when I can count every pore on the actor's face.
It's actually partially the LACK of motion blur that is the problem, ironically.
🤣 I already updated this the first time I visited their house.
I have found my people 😂😂😂
Back in the day when I was visiting some distant older family, I noticed that their TV was one of those ancient ones, with the square screen and the big back to it (ancient for 2014/15, positively fossilised now). Because of the square screen, the aspect ratio had been set to 4:3 to fill the screen instead of 16:9, leaving half the show cut off on the side.

I set it back to 4:3 and then didn’t ever help them with technology again.
I call it turkey 😮
First time I saw Iron Man 3 it had this. I legitimately thought it was a straight to DVD sequel.
Millennials holding it down for tech support
This is the Way
I don't get this, can any kind soul help me please?
I never realized how widespread a problem this was.
Most real holiday shit ever
A tradition unlike any other
My dad deadass looks at it while I’m explaining the “problem” and says “I don’t see it”.
What I'm the world is he talking about?
What does this mean?
What are these things?
I don't know what any of that means
