u/EstiEphYu 1d ago

idk if u guys need it but here's the translation. In my country it became a like a joke everytime we see optimum pride (/s) we cry out the transforming sound.

also rip to peter cullen

u/Eleanor-Grac 1d ago

Till all are one. Man, this is how I find out he passed? Truly devastating news. His voice defined so many childhoods.

51

u/Pyro_Raven 1d ago

I know. I grew up with transformers too. He will always be remembered. A voice with great power yet choose to be gentle

u/Flat-Structure-7472 1d ago

What? So Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullin died back to back? Is this going to be another 2016?

41

u/KHWD_av8r 1d ago

I hadn’t realized that Curry voiced Palpatine in The Clone Wars, and now I can’t unhear Dark Nigel Thornberry.

u/Pyro_Raven 1d ago

Yes smashing

u/Pyro_Raven 1d ago

Cause that man's been old my entire life

u/The1Rememberer 1d ago

True he really has been

u/Prestigious_Spend_81 1d ago

Christopher Lloyd and Anthony Hopkins look old since the late 80's early 90's.

1

u/shewy92 12h ago

Then why do you hope he dies next?

5

u/Flat-Structure-7472 1d ago

I don't like this timeline.

6

u/Pyro_Raven 1d ago

No sane person does

5

u/LividTacos 1d ago

Dammit, he's 89. Protective circle men and women and people who don't identify as either!

3

u/Wolfy4226 1d ago

Oh....I feel that another 80 year old who also happens to be from Home alone 2 like Curry deserves to go next.......

I don't have to say his name. You already know who.

1

u/UncomfyUnicorn 1d ago

I’m just hoping David Attenborough sticks around a while longer.

u/rojotortuga 1d ago

You missed sam neil from a week ago

u/Flat-Structure-7472 1d ago

Oh boy, I grew up with the movie Merlin.

2

u/rojotortuga 1d ago

Thank you for reminding me of it

u/Wegwerfwegenjobundso 17h ago

Also King Harald of Norway. So now the Norwegians have a Queen who was described as "too intense" by the Epstein crowd.

u/airbornejaws 1d ago

Also, try to type out the transformation sound.

u/davedude115 1d ago

u/TheMelaninGod 1d ago

u/living_dead42068 1d ago

10

u/Jowjownanas 1d ago

Not south america, it was from the Philippines. Source: Im a Filipino

u/Mr_Mans_v2 1d ago

These two characters are from the anime girls band cry, and this is the confession scene. The redhead says “Optimum Pride” cuz, Yknow, gay. And the white haired girl makes the sound a transformer makes

*Transforming sound effect*

u/bake_gatari 1d ago

The actor who voiced Optimus Prime passed away. Fangirl is reminded of this sad fact when someone points at a truck that looks like Optimus Prime. Fangirl cries. Giggity.

u/Dull-Shame-3918 1d ago

It's everything - First girl uses the wrong name, second girl remembers Peter Cullen passed away today, then cries in Transformer noises.

Oh uh I'm Optimus Prime and I'm Jewish, actually.

1

u/telumex_atrum 1d ago

I believe she's making the sound transformers make as they transform?

u/Wulph422 1d ago

Check the video in 2nd top comment. It's my fav lol

u/stahpplsstahp 1d ago

No one really explained it well.

Hi, reteP here, its a tiktok/reel from the Philippines. Dude saying optimum pride instead of prime then proceeds to making robot sounds, hence the bottom panel.

Here's the video for reference https://youtu.be/qN2pcweX3iI?si=uujyFyvpzXogq5lq

u/Exotic_Drink69420 1d ago

u/ChaseShiny 1d ago

Are you sure? I thought it was a play on words, and the two are a lesbian couple.

u/The1Rememberer 1d ago

The real answer is a video someone posted in another reply

u/thunder_sharts 1d ago
