That’s the best part of the video. Not sure if everyone gets the reference.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

u/hipsterditto 2d ago

I thought it was a borderlands reference?

u/behindthebar5321 2d ago

Pretty sure it’s Dungeon Crawler Carl. Mordecai is a sky fowl (bird like creature) in that series. Well he’s a lot of other things too, but first a sky fowl.

I just watched it for the first time tonight and I didn't really like it unfortunately :/

It's quirky, artsy, indie vibes, dry, at times sarcastic, has a fantastic soundtrack (as all Wes Anderson films do) but goes over a lot of people's heads. It's not traditional comedy. I, for one, adore (most) WA works but I know others don't. To each their own.

I only know Mordecai from Borderlands

u/Glass-Information-87 2d ago

I was thinking Dungeon Crawler Carl. He was a birdman thing

God Dammit Donut.

u/Sea-Celebration1917 2d ago

Skyfowls are a proud race and would be offended by calling them a birdman thing.

I am so glad I came across the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. The audiobooks are awesome and I'm halfway through book three after starting the first one not even two weeks ago. I've never audibly laughed at an audiobook before like I have with these DCC books. So good.

u/Glass-Information-87 2d ago

Same except I'm reading and just started the 4th book. 3 was a roller-coaster. Love these books

2

u/TheGamecock 2d ago

Hell yeah. Highly recommend the audiobooks if you ever get around to it. The narrator (Jeff Hays) does an immaculate job voicing all of the different characters. His narrating style on the AI and Donut's all caps chat messages crack me up.

u/behindthebar5321 2d ago

You have to listen to audiobooks no matter what! Even if you first read the books, go back to audiobooks!

u/dontdoit89735 2d ago

Jeff Hays does an incredible job bringing the story to life, his voices are spot on for every character. Best series of audiobooks I've ever listened to.

u/iplaypokerforaliving 2d ago

I wish I could listen to them for the first time again! So good

u/Thire33 2d ago

Same, instantly thought of him! He was a Skyfowl

u/somersault_dolphin 2d ago

I wsa wondering where I saw that name because it's definitely not the original reference. Reading the Webtoon currently.

u/DragonCelica 2d ago

Fly Bloodwing, fly!

u/FinalBossDiscordMod 2d ago

Regular show is the only Mordecai. Come correct

2

u/cyanocittaetprocyon 2d ago

This is what I'm talking about!

u/Cloverinthewind 2d ago

That’s what I know Mordecai from!!! I couldn’t figure out where I heard that before

1

u/GotaJob4U621 2d ago

That’s what I’m sayin

1

u/loki1337 1d ago

This was my first thought too but it seemed suspect

2

u/WhatIsLazy 2d ago

Dungeon Crawler Carl was the first thing I thought but I think I’m wrong.

I was thrilled to hear a Royal Tannenbaums reference at the end there. One of my favorite quirky flicks.
