It should have ended with the guy on the right telling Mr. Mustache to eat his facial hair.

I don't quite get all the references but I interpreted this is "anti-SJW" rather than "anti-Communism/Socialism/etc." (Mustache is a douchey 'SJW' with a Stalin-stache while the guy on the right is the reasonable, 'SJ' one who 'gets it' and wants to help people). Is the reader supposed to root for Annoying Mustache?

I'm not sure "SJW"s have anything to do with this? Not every leftist with a dumb opinion is involved in SJ.

Plus he's on reddit instead of Tumblr, points to a different cluster.

Pabst Blue Ribbon is the hipster beer here, aye.  From what I've heard, its low-quality pisswasser in the same vein as Budweiser and Busch, even by the admittedly low standards of beer, so the only people who drink it are either those who can't afford anything better or are enjoying it "ironically."

Man! I remember when Pabst was associated with gruff "Working Class Lout" stereotypes. I'm amazed it's still being made.

You'd think hipsters and artsy types would go after microbrews or something...but Pabst?  :P

When I think Pabst Blue Ribbon, I think "Joe Don Baker IS...Mitchell!".

HA.  Barb, you get points for the Mitchell reference.  Easily one of my favourite MST3Ks.

Also, a bit bittersweet....because that's when my dear sweet Joelie-cakes said goodbye.  :'(

Mike's awesome but I have a soft spot for Joel....

Joel was better than Mike, IMHO.

Not that Mike was bad. Mike was quite good, just not as good as Joel.

I guess microbrews are too mainstream now. Or maybe they're drinking PBR so people will think they are working class instead of trust fund kids.

When the hell did Hipsters start drinking PBR anyway? This is the first I've heard of them doing it.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

I found Joel rather dull, to be honest. He seemed like he was always stoned or something. Mike was much more... animated. Plus he did several of my favorite episodes, like Pumaman, Horror of Party Beach, and Space Mutiny.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

Honestly, I agree with this guy.  From what I've heard, Sean Penn and Madonna had a very dysfunctional relationship.

It's pretty sad when the strawman is actually making sense.

Google "brinking" if you dare.

The point is, if you put alcohol into your nose or butt it is going to your bloodstream faster than if you simply drink it the regular way. Not my idea of fun but if you want to get drunk fast and cheap then that's the trick.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!
