This was straight-up lampshaded in the first movie.
I do not know this term.
It's where there's a theme or metaphor going on in a work of fiction and instead of letting it just slide through subtly they make it explicit.
There's a part right in the beginning of the first Spider-Man movie when Peter Parker first gets his powers, he's in his room alone and he accidentally squirts the wall or his bookshelf or something and then somebody knocks on the door and it's an obvious metaphor for masturbation.
Well...not really. Lampshading could certainly involve calling attention to a metaphor, but more generally speaking, lampshade hanging refers to explicitly calling attention to things that might disrupt suspension of disbelief, particularly glaring inconsistencies like plot holes or anachronisms or things that just don't fit. Sometimes, it might be an explanation, or it could just be a punchline. Like "why do you have a gorilla in your living room anyway?" if the gorilla actually serves some purpose to the scene despite there being no realistic reason for a gorilla to actually BE in the scene.

As soon as I posted that I thought, "Man, some autistic douchebag is going to neckbeard up chat by talking about how that not REALLY lampshading because it's not explicit enough."
It had to be you, Drez.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

This show called Whatever Happened To? is on right now, and one person they covered was Mila Kunis. The show mainly focuses on actors who have sort of disappeared, but were at one time very popular. This episode was filmed before Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Max Payne, so they're all like "yeah, she's doing Family Guy, and dating Kevin McAllister, and, uh, she's got a few B movies coming out but... be on the lookout!"

Speaking of burning asses apparently dexamethasone causes perineal burning.

Why else would someone put mustard in their ass?
Kind of like figging, I guess.

They had one of those around here too, Tim. It got closed down after a man came in one day, demanded someone give him his daughter back, and started karate chopping people in the throat.

Also Mexico is still a raging hellhole.
But people can't keep this information in mind for more than a few weeks.
Aren't there like 3 times as many people though?
Yeah, but if you'd asked me yesterday whether I was tempted to break the law in my sink, my answer would not have changed by today.
There are about 7 times as many people in the world, so it's not too surprising.
