Asking Eric: Ill-mannered member's daughter ruins social group
Dear Eric: I'm part of a group that meets up on a regular basis to engage in a hobby. These gatherings have been a great refuge for me. We have enjoyable, interesting conversations and a great rapport. One friend, 'Rose,' has started including her daughter 'Tracy' in some of these gatherings, which has changed the group dynamic and frankly, made things not fun anymore.

THE EMPIRE STRICKES BACK Reimagined with Darth Vader as the Hero — GeekTyrant
What if Darth Vader wasn't the tyrant we've all feared, but the misunderstood hero trying to save the galaxy from chaos? A new parody video amusingly reframes Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by painting Vader as the peace-seeking savior, while Luke, Yoda, and Han are just reckless troublemakers throwing wrenches into his plans. With the tagline 'Darth Vader tries to save the galaxy, but Luke Skywalker, Yoda and Han Solo get in his way,' this clever re-edit takes one of the most iconic films in the Star Wars saga and turns it into a dramatic tale of misjudged intentions and galactic betrayal. It's a fun reminder that perspective is everything and that maybe Vader just needed better PR.

BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD's Totally Stupid, Totally Awesome Legacy Gets the Fun History — GeekTyrant
The Weird History Channel just dropped The Complete History of Beavis and Butt-Head , and it's the kind of video that makes you go 'uhhhh... cool.' It's a funny, surprisingly thoughtful look at how Mike Judge's two brainless icons went from whacking frogs with baseball bats to becoming pop culture lightning rods, surviving censorship battles, parent outrage, and even a near-miss live-action reboot. The doc tracks their crude rise on Liquid Television, their MTV domination, the '90s firestorm, and their recent resurrection on Paramount+. The video comes with the note: 'Created and voiced by animator Mike Judge, Beavis and Butthead is an adult animated cartoon about two lazy, dim-witted teenagers who don't care about much in this world beyond heavy metal and music videos. 'Their original series would run for more than two hundred episodes over six seasons, while spawning a theatrically released movie, a spin-off, several books and video games, two television revivals, and this video.' The video packed with the kind of trivia and chaos only Beavis and Butt-Head could inspire. If you've ever headbanged to dumb metal riffs while yelling 'fire!' this one's for you.

Dog Being Carried Off by the Police for ‘Ruff Behavior' Is Too Funny
Dog Being Carried Off by the Police for 'Ruff Behavior' Is Too Funny originally appeared on PetHelpful. Uh oh, Paw Patrol has arrived! People in a waiting room were cracking up after seeing security cart off a dog in the most hilarious way possible. They were taking him away just like they would a human! Guess his behavior was too ruff. Miroslava Banda was caught off guard by the unusual sight. It's not everyday you see a pup caught red handed. Luckily Banda had her phone out when the funny incident happened. We don't know what the dog did to deserve being taken out of the waiting room like this, but he's innocent! We just know it. He's a good boy officers, we promise!People in the comments section were cracking up. 'The way he's being escorted,' wrote one person. 'Couldn't [they] just pick him up at least??' someone else wondered. 'Why are they sooo aggressive!!!! Whatever they said he did, he didn't do it!!!' joked another commenter. 'That doggy has the right to an attorney,' teased another person. Obviously this is all in good fun, but the clip does serve as a gentle reminder that you should probably use a leash to remove your dog from a room — not their paws! If your pup misbehaves at home, we'd say this is a pretty extreme way to get them to listen. Instead, you want to teach them discipline without doing any lasting harm on the pup. Think about using positive reinforcement instead of negative. Attention could be the best way to train your dog to know the difference between wrong and right. Attention is a reward to a dog, so if you notice them doing something wrong it's actually better not to react. Instead, ignore the behavior and redirect them to something you want them to do. You can also use a calm noise interrupter to stop their unwanted behavior. Just keep calm, your dog can pick up on your energy more than you think. Sadly, we don't know what happened to the dog after the video ended. But we'd like to think the pup got to speak to his attorney and demanded a lawyer! Looking for more PetHelpful updates?
