Since I don't care about being cool, that makes me pretty cool, right?

Beginning their research after Dar Nimrod disagreed with his friend, Hansen's assertion that Buscemi was cool

Someone named "Nimrod" might have some underlying issues about the definition of "cool".

My mom says I'm cool!!

Steve Buscemi, the actor that was hip to to love before Hipster become popular again in the 2010s. Look we all know Con Air was the high point of his career

Bowties, right? It's gotta be bowties.

I take it you don't watch Boardwalk Empire, then.

Scientists: they know what's cool.

dennysgod		2012-07-03 09:48:36 PM

I was cool before being cool was cool.

You know who else was cool? QI

How to tell what is cool:

Before doing something, imagine it played back in front of Chuck Yeager, Neil Armstrong, and Chuck Norris.

If all three of them say "hell yeah that was awsome", then proceed.

/easy.

Do you know who thinks I'm cool?

Your mom.

UNC_Samurai		2012-07-03 10:43:53 PM

What does the code say about the fez?

poot_rootbeer		2012-07-03 10:47:03 PM

This thread will be 60% quotes from seasons 3-12 of The Simpsons

Steve Buscemi played the elderly "hip" record collecting boyfriend to hipster hero Enid in Ghost World, can't get less cool than that! (still a good movie though :) ) He was better in Reservoir Dogs, Airheads, Fargo, Con Air, Escape from LA, and The Adventures of Pete and Pete; in that he didn't have to deal with having such an awkward, confused character as Seymour (where if Enid was just one year younger, it'd be pedophilia due to what they did together) whom had no real direction in the film and had to deal with a jerk of a teenager.

The "Fonz" was/is not cool. Cool is not forced upon an audience. People who think "the Fonz" is cool are necessarily without credence.

debug		2012-07-03 11:37:56 PM

Also listed as desirable traits that are equated with coolness are trendiness, individualism

Uhhh...

rpl		2012-07-04 12:16:25 AM

They saw cool being equated as 'hot', 'handsome', 'beautiful' and 'sexy', revealing an overwhelming theme of simple physical looks.

Made me laugh.

Mad_Radhu: Bowties, right? It's gotta be bowties.

Came here for this. Leaving satisfied because bowties are cool.

/and this fez

Darth Invictus		2012-07-04 04:45:09 AM

I know I'm cool. Always have been. I'm definitely not the best looking guy around, but everyone loves me. Chicks dig me, because I make them laugh. Dudes dig me, because I say out loud what they're thinking.

Frederick: The "Fonz" was/is not cool. Cool is not forced upon an audience. People who think "the Fonz" is cool are necessarily without credence.

Agreed. The Fonz was a washed up former Milwaukee hipster, who couldn't even join a real motorcycle club and earn a living doing real MC shiat, living in the garage attic of his nerdy friend's parents who took pity on him. Hell, he didn't even have a real job until the later seasons when he got a job as a blazer-wearing substitute teacher - imparting his dirtbag wisdom to the wayward teens of a 1962 Milwaukee suburb.
