The most balanced movie of all time, and what made Pixar.
Loved by everyone, and puts Disney to shame.

One of the most magical series of books in existence, written by none other than the most magical man in existence; Chris Colfer.
This series is a continuation of all your favorite fairy tales featuring the answer to how so many girls married Prince Charming, what Red Riding Hood is really like, why the Evil Queen is so obsessed with the man in her mirror and so on. Everyone should read it.
"Have you read The Land Of Stories?"
"Of course! Chris Colfer is my favorite author!"
A story characterized by its anticlimactic nature. Something was going to happen, then it didnโt.
Person A: One time I was in a boat and I thought it was going to capsize, but then it didnโt.
Person B: That was such a Hussain story.
A story, usually told by one of Irish descent, that may have a clear beginning and end but takes drastic, seemingly pointless turns throughout. The story is, in all likelihood, also completely bullshit, but not necessarily. Elements of the story may also just be exaggerated for comedic or dramatic effect, leaving the story to otherwise be truthful.
Popularized by the SleepyCabin Podcast, but likely familiar to anyone of Irish descent.

NIALL: This is how tragic my life is: My dad used to take me out fishing, and we used to go about five times each summer for years, and we never once caught a fish between us. But, like, I was so bad at it that once, I pissed my pants, and my dad was so disappointed that we didn't catch a fish and that I pissed my pants.
ZACH: Did you piss your pants because you didn't catch a fish, or were you nervous? What'd you piss your pants for?
NIALL: I just pissed my pants.
JEFF: What is it with these stories Irishmen tell? "This one time I went to the lake and...I pissed my pants, then uh...someone threw a rock at me. The end!" I don't know what it is with these stories you guys-...you and Chris are like: "This one time I was running down the road, and there was a bug, and I stepped on it, and someone...spit in my eye. I had the worst day ever because someone spit in my eye!"
STAMPER: THAT'S SO TRUE!! THAT IS SO TRUE!!! Your stories are so all over the place!
NIALL: But...if you let me finish my story, it wouldn't be so all over the fucking place!
STAMPER: IT ALREADY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!!
...
STAMPER: Oh, my God, dude, Niall. If you were a hitman, you would be like, "Alright, so I went up to the top of the bell tower...and I had the guy in my sight...and then I put my gun down and I ate a chocolate bar...and then I went back and..." It's like, what does the chocolate bar have to do with you killing somebody? THOSE ARE IRISH STORIES!!"' (Irish Story)

Tom: Hey Jack, Joe told me he flew his car into a skyscraper the other day!
Jack: Really? I was at his house yesterday, and there wasn't even a scratch on his car.
Tom: Yeah, Joe is pretty good at telling stories. We don't even live close to a city.

1. A horrible, random story with a pointless ending. Usually starting with "One time," and ending in "it was so funny," or something along those lines.
2. A story in which the teller forgets forgets what or who he or she is talking about.
1. "One time, I saw this commercial, and it was so funny."
2. "I heard this wicked funny joke yesterday, but i forget what it was."
Best, most badass Christmas movie ever made. Played over and over and over during the holidays. Characters include Ralphie, his retarded whining brother, his old man, and flakey mother. Known by a lot of people as, "the movie with the kid in the pink bunny suit" or "the movie with the leg lamp" (which is painfully obvious that ralphie wacks off to)
Ralphie: I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
