How ironic Cormier's favorite food is Popeye...

[Kneepocalypse]

<3 Popeye's biscuits.

 

[campbecc]

it's an eye poking joke. But saying that tons of black people eat at Popeyes isn't racist, it's an observation.

 

[parzark**]

I thought you were talking about his big forearms.

 

[MartyMcFry]

What are people talking about racist?

 

[Blackened]

Which makes it all the more fantastic as people haven't thought too much and immediately assumed it was racist. 10/10 trolling, TS.

10/10 indeed.

Half these people still don't get it.

Those that think it was racist are the real racists (or at the very least, assume racism possibly too often).

For the people that still don't get it: PopEYE, as in Jones/eyepoke

/thread (never done it, so I figured this would warrant it... nonetheless, the thread will continue)

What are people talking about racist?

Black people/chicken

I get that you're a racist jerk TS.

Fucking hell, I visit these boards to discuss MMA, not witness ignorant people spitting vitriol.

How is pop"eyes" racist? JJ is known for "poke"eyes.

Go through life looking for racism, and eventually it's all you're going to see.

I think that's a fair point as well.

Black people/chicken

Did someone say watermelon

 

[Elysianwing]

Yes it is. He likes eating popeye all day long and in 24h he won't like eating eye pokes all day long. Granted, it's not the "Frank Beard example of irony" but still.

Yeah, that isn't irony, that is wordplay. Irony would be like, if his parents died choking on Popeye's chicken, and it is his favorite food. Or if he was asked what his favorite food is, and he sarcastically said Popeye's chicken, when in truth he abhors it.

You know what? That really spoke to me.

 

[Flying RNC]

Did he popped his eyes ?

If you think the thread has anything to do with race then you don't get the joke

 

[Reach4theSky]

Mary Brown's Chicken ftw. Peeps from Canada know whats up...

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Make me.

 

[HelloJapan]

You mean like how Jones will pop his eye?

Well played sir.

 

[Lightfoot]

7/10

I think this is about right. Nice effort, Op.

 

[Macalpinerules]

I think it's very ironic because when Jones knocks out DC's teeth, DC will be on a spinach diet just like Popeye because hard foods will be out of the question. Good catch TS!

 

[CurtJames]

so bad its good. i laughed

Yes, it's irony when he's about to get his eyes popped (which he won't like).
