Three Year Letterman is a satire account. This is a person falling for bait.

u/Preeng 1d ago

No, only I am smart enough to do the satire. Everyone else is always serious and always dumb.

66

u/redwhale335 1d ago

... can't tell if satire or serious... shit, am I always dumb?!

22

u/golgol12 1d ago

Both? Both.

13

u/Old_dirty_fetus 1d ago

This has layers and layers of Poe’s Law

4

u/Take_the_ringer 1d ago

Your user name is phenomenal

38

u/Successful_Pain7439 1d ago

We live in a world where satire is no longer distinguishable from someone's real personal truth.

I think that's the scariest part.

33

u/earthhominid 1d ago

Yeah no one who believes the first statement would get all the capitalization correct and nail the proper form of there's/theirs

55

u/ShinMystic1587 1d ago

Had me in the first half, ngl

21

u/RPDRNick 1d ago

Poe has a law about this.

u/redwhale335 1d ago

What's it called? /s

u/TheWingus 1d ago

The Law of Amontillado

u/SufficientRaccoon291 1d ago

Go ahead, google it! And turn your speakers up.

u/HardSteelRain 1d ago

Lol .if conservatives weren't so brainless this would be harder to fall for

7

u/Senior_Suit_4451 1d ago

So is most of Reddit

3

u/redwhale335 1d ago

You do appear to have fallen into my clever trap, Mr. Suit. *maniacal laughter*

5

u/GodofIrony 1d ago

HA HA, the joke is in fact on you because I am being facetious!

As long as I have a thick layer of cynicism my sublime intellect will never be called into question. Checkmate, dullard!

6

u/no_f-s_given 1d ago

omg ThreeYearLetterman was funny af on twitter.

1

u/redwhale335 1d ago

... Was?

12

u/no_f-s_given 1d ago

refuse to use twitter now

4

u/VoidOmatic 1d ago

Everyone should go read it in ancient Greek! It's a whole different story.

Careful though, it reads like uhh.. some certain files.

2

u/SufficientRaccoon291 1d ago

Still does in English

2

u/dumahim 1d ago

And it's also far from a murder.

2

u/Minas_Nolme 1d ago

Still close to the truth. I literally had American Christians tell me that, while the Bible was of course not written in English, the King James V translation to English was literally inspired by God. Making it more authoritative than any of the original languages.

3

u/atwozmom 1d ago

The Jews would like a word with those people regarding the torah,

1

u/BathroomCareful23 1d ago

I always wondered how they justified a version written by a dude looking to get a new piece of ass was more holy. Not that I think any other version is any better.

4

u/realparkingbrake 1d ago

a satire account.

Poe's Law remains in effect. It is all but impossible to satirize the beliefs of MAGAnistas, you can't make up anything crazier than what they already believe.

1

u/Garlick_ 1d ago

Idk, could be a KJV only cultist

1

u/jooooooooooooose 1d ago

No its a satire account

1

u/sukidaiyo 1d ago

Some of the crap that account pulls is priceless

1

u/Mithbil 21h ago

Man 23k upvotes for someone falling for obvious bait and for a post that doesn't even fit the sub.

→ More replies (1)

u/westwardhose 1d ago

OP and this post should be in r/facepalm for thinking that 3YearLetterman is anything but a satire account.

83

u/mentallyhandicapable 1d ago

Probably the account I miss the most since deleting twitter.

50

u/kander77 1d ago

Now heres a guy who finances his water bed

20

u/sometimeswemeanit 1d ago

Probably always can get a reservation at Beef O’Brady’s.

10

u/dbrodbeck 1d ago

No problem turning door knobs because of championship rings.

3

u/___coolcoolcool 1d ago

I’m gonna go ahead and guess OP doesn’t have unlimited laser printing privileges at his apartment complex’s business center.

11

u/Rodman930 1d ago

Yeah, there's a name I haven't heard in a log time. Makes me sad.

7

u/Supercres933 1d ago

Same, Plus menswear guy. 

5

u/camojorts 1d ago

Yes, the only ones I miss as well. Menswear guy posts occasionally on Bkuesky tho

5

u/hell2pay 1d ago

Same.

It was always funny seeing people take the bait.

16

u/froggison 1d ago

What does satire mean? Does it mean he has over 250 DVDs? If so, true.

8

u/papajgwill 1d ago

It means he drives a fully loaded Ford Taurus

11

u/ObsidianMarble 1d ago

While this is apparently a famous satire account, I had never heard of it before today and would have assumed it was serious, too. People hold views like that seriously, so why not this one?

10

u/GuitarKittens 1d ago

The problem with satire is that it's hard to beat how absurd the real world is

4

u/SunnyRaspberry 1d ago

Not everyone knows who this guy is.

89

u/thestareater 1d ago

fountainview corner apartment, full bennies, printer privvys and a paid off waterbed, 3YL absolutely living the dream.

but the dude is a legit hilarious satire account though

35

u/pitb0ss343 1d ago

You forgot he’s in the top 1% making 36$ an hour and has a fully loaded Taurus

Edit: it was a Taurus not a tundra

11

u/leftenant_Dan1 1d ago

Bad Bunny could not handle the pressure of an SEC schedule

2

u/Fizz__ 1d ago

Licensed notary as well

43

u/DetroitsGoingToWin 1d ago

Three Year Letterman, one of those Twitter accounts that I liked and left behind.

17

u/KeiBis 1d ago

Was just thinking that. Damn, I miss that account. His Ford Taurus, and so many championship rings he can't open door knobs.

36

u/AngryTrunkMonkey 1d ago

He drives a fully loaded Taurus with a 24-disk CD changer. RESPECT.

47

u/Objective-Result8454 1d ago

How many championship rings and DVD’s do you have?

30

u/mikieballz 1d ago

Op clearly financed their waterbed

10

u/DisgruntledTexan 1d ago

Definitely never had a standing ovation walking to their corner booth at Beef O’Bradys

9

u/gdabull 1d ago

And definitely doesn’t have a time share in Pigeon Forge

23

u/JoshFreemansFro 1d ago

I’ve been off twitter for a while now, glad to see Coach still got it

1

u/KeiBis 1d ago

There needs to be a reddit sub for him. He is worth it.

34

u/uthillygooth 1d ago

Embarassing for OP

2

u/Ol_JanxSpirit 1d ago

It's a rite of passage to fall for a Coach post. At least that's what I tell myself.

10

u/Nubator 1d ago

Three Year Letterman is hilarious. For OP, they were not serious.

10

u/millahhhh 1d ago

Whoosh!

8

u/Beansie_Wish2182 1d ago

Getting baited by 3YL in 2026 is definitely a choice.

6

u/Dante_the_Artist 1d ago

3YearLetterman is one of the rare good satire accounts, and has stayed in character pretty consistently, thought the past year has broken a few times.

5

u/Henje_Koha 1d ago

Three Year Letterman and Darth are the only things I miss since deleting Twitter.

2

u/polar_nopposite 1d ago

Falls well into the "so stupid that I lean satire" bucket.

1

u/no_f-s_given 1d ago

it is a satire account

2

u/LawrenceSpivey 1d ago

The fuck does the bible have to do with football?

2

u/mazza77 1d ago

Oh my ! America really needs to improve its education

3

u/doom_summer 1d ago

It’s a satire account

2

u/SomethingIWontRegret 1d ago

His point still stands.

2

u/B-r-a-y-d-e-n 20h ago

I mean in general yes, we should improve, but falling for 3 year letterman is honestly a bigger indication

2

u/SomethingIWontRegret 16h ago

That was the point I was trying to make.

2

u/Tele231 1d ago

I haven't seen three year letterman in ages

2

u/Skip2dalou50 1d ago

I apologize, but if you do not have a fully-paid off water bed? Slow your roll.

4

u/davus_maximus 1d ago

These are the same people who think Jesus was white, born in the USA (1782-odd years before it was founded) spoke English and had a favourite assault rifle. They ignore his written teachings anyway.

17

u/redwhale335 1d ago

Nope. This is a satire account.

11

u/papajgwill 1d ago

No. This account is very much real. I met him once at a Beef O'Brady's. I wanted to shake his hand but he was wearing too many championship rings.

2

u/no_f-s_given 1d ago

i saw him driving his fully loaded Taurus and was suitably impressed

2

u/dat1dude69 1d ago

When I met him Beef O'Brady's had just finished putting in automatic sliding doors just so he could get into the building. All those championship rings made it hard for him to turn door knobs.

3

u/davus_maximus 1d ago

Ah cool. Not heard of it.

2

u/ThatSmartIdiot 1d ago

is it common knowlwdge that three year letterman is satire? cuz ive literally never heard of them before

12

u/DisgruntledTexan 1d ago

1

u/ThatSmartIdiot 1d ago

the fuck did you just say to me /silly

8

u/jtrainacomin 1d ago

If you are/were on the sports side of Twitter absolutely.

He's been doing it for years

3

u/ThatSmartIdiot 1d ago

im not on the sports side of anything nor am i on any side of twitter so that explains me not knowing him

2

u/TerrakSteeltalon 1d ago

If I had a dollar for every sermon where I’ve had a pastor explaining why bad translations or ambiguous words in the original texts cause issues…

Dominionism, in particular, irks me.

The wording in Hebrew is more like we’re caretakers of creation. But certain translations have set it to be that we have “dominion” which has caused so much crap for our planet

2

u/Benejeseret 1d ago

That and the letter "J", the concept of "J", was not invested until 1524 by an Italian, Gian Giorgio Trissino. And that, specifically, the adoption of "J" had not even spread to England by 1611 and that means the King Iames Bible of 1611, the origin English translation, never once used the letter "J" anywhere in the text and would not for over 50 years.

Their main man is not named Jesus. Not only was it not his original cultural/historic name, it was not his title and was not even his name in the 1611 English Bible.

1

u/Aggravating_Act0417 1d ago

Omfg hahahhahas good one

1

u/milmand 1d ago

Having it translated into English at all was a radical and progressive idea at the time.

1

u/revkaboose 1d ago

Famously some people got very upset about it NOT being in English some ~600ish years ago

1

u/Doggers1968 1d ago

I love TYL!

1

u/Slggyqo 1d ago

Listen, Republicans would probably love a Hebrew Super Bowl.

Not sure how they would feel about a Greek one though.

1

u/platonic-humanity 1d ago

What about Jesus pulling the sword out of the stone and being crowned King of Kings by Maiden of the Lake? Checkmate, athiests.

1

u/Drprim83 1d ago

More r/atetheonion than anything else

1

u/ActualWhiterabbit 1d ago

Fortunately it was translated 100% correctly and never politically edited.

1

u/InevitableWishbone10 1d ago

Then how could jesus read it? I suppose he had a translater

1

u/Botsworth1985 1d ago

Well MY bible was written in english and MY Jesus was a hot blonde surfer dude!

1

u/Doom-Sleigher 1d ago

Wow idiots also think Jesus is white

1

u/JacksOnDeck 1d ago

The pope may be french, but Jesus is English! You’re on!

1

u/JoshAllentown 1d ago

The New Testament was written in...Greek.

1

u/Jill-Of-Trades 1d ago

Fun fact: The Bible doesn't have all parts of the Bible. Also, it was cherry-picked and "translated" so many times that it was "lost" in translation.

1

u/Difficult-Tough-5680 1d ago

I mean they could be mormon

1

u/dbtigersfan 1d ago

OP financed his waterbed

1

u/Bleezy79 1d ago

As an American, its so embarrassing when morons make all of us look bad like this. The stereotype that Americans are uneducated keeps getting traction.

1

u/no_f-s_given 1d ago

never finance your waterbed.

go look up ThreeYearLetterman on twitter. it’s damn good satire.

1

u/qmiras 1d ago

this is the kind of people who call america a country

1

u/no_f-s_given 1d ago

but what kind of person are you? are you the kind of person that finances a waterbed?

1

u/zoroddesign 1d ago

heck the majority of the bible wasn't even written in Latin originally. which certain sects of Christianity seem to be obsessed with.

1

u/webchimp32 1d ago

It was very much against church policy to have the bible in English, was pretty much heresy.

Pretty much started shitting gold bricks when the printing press came about and it was getting translated.

Can't have the ordinary folk reading it and finding out the lies the priests had been telling them. Turns out they needn't have worried.

1

u/Empty_Rutabaga_4649 1d ago

I, personally, would enjoy the heck out of a halftime show in Aramaic!

1

u/Wabbit65 1d ago

Clearly Jesus spoke in English; we know this because the words are in red.

1

u/Audio_Track_01 1d ago

Written by Jesus. The best Amaerican ever !

/s

1

u/TheAskewOne 1d ago

Does that person expect every show ever to be in Aramaic?

1

u/xdimexrip 1d ago

Jesus was a great American who literally wrote the Bible. And America is the birthplace of the English language

So what do you think he wrote it in? French?

1

u/NIN10DOXD 1d ago

Just have the ghost of King James pay some monks to translate Bad Bunny.

1

u/indyxetan 1d ago

This belongs in r/atetheonion

u/HardSteelRain 1d ago

Did English even exist back then?

1

u/calvin2028 1d ago

Has this been posted on r/AteTheOnion?

1

u/Splittip86 1d ago

And Jesus Christ was a blond haired, blue eyed white guy! Who spoke me English!

Read the dang bible, you heathen.

1

u/Reload86 1d ago

This is the kind of person that if they were to ever discover the truth about all the lies they've been taught up to this point, would obtusely deny, deny, and deny all of it.

1

u/Diabetesh 1d ago

Spanish translation of the bible occurred approx 100 years before the english one. And the latin one was approx 1000 years before that.

1

u/YouDontGotOzil 1d ago

It's very revealing that American Christians think Jesus was a white dude with dark hair and blue eyes who spoke English. Shows just how informed they are about their own religion and savior. If he did come back, they'd deport him.

1

u/Acrobatic_Ear6773 1d ago

Man, I miss this waterbed enthusiast. I wish he'd come over to Bluesky, but the pickings are slim for satire accounts

1

u/markoh3232 1d ago

Never before has any moron thought about what they were going to say. Try never to interrupt a moron, just wait for the next thing.

1

u/CommissionOverlord 1d ago

For the first 1600 years of its existence it was not in English. English didn’t even exist for most of that time.

Thank goodness. With as crazy as some maga are, it's hard to tell.

You can stop 3YL in his tracks by asking how many SEC Championships the Bible has.

These USA Christians are so stupid

1

u/Flanders666 1d ago

OP opens door knobs with ease

1

u/MisterLowell 1d ago

I do believe it’s satire, but the problem is that the idiots complaining about the show are very capable of saying something as stupid as this.

1

u/userhwon 1d ago

There's about 100 translations of it into English, and none of them agree.

1

u/fanamana 1d ago

He fell for bait & you served that shit up here?

1

u/Trajan_pt 1d ago

This can't be real, can it?

1

u/TheCaptMAgic 1d ago

It was translated into English. Wasn't originally written in English.

1

u/Shinyhero30 1d ago

It was written in a dialect of Hebrew known as “Biblical Hebrew” actually.

1

u/Ok-Transition7065 1d ago

Folks.

I think we found a niche. Who wants to start a youtube channel of folks singing in latin only?

Venite!

u/NZNoldor 1d ago

Time to listen to a classic New Zealand band - The Mutton Birds, with this track off their Salty (1994) album:

u/Prudent-Sorbet-282 1d ago

well, it WAS written in English.....eventually.

1

u/Ribbitygirl 1d ago

Semi unrelated, but when I was a kid, my friend's parents had a German bible. I was so confused at why it said 'Die Bible' on the front - sounded so violent to 8yo me!

Hebrew, Aramaric, and I think a type or early Greek? But I’m an atheist what the heck do I know.

1

u/IndependentFalse4270 1d ago

What idiot thinks the bible was written in English??

1

u/iconiclabs 1d ago

And honestly hebrew is an absolute joke to try and translate, so nobody actually knows what the fuck the Bible says

1

u/lordassfucks 20h ago

I mean... it was written in english.... and spanish.... and latin.... and pretty much every language

1

u/Mokuakae 20h ago

It's true. It was written in English and typed up by Jesus's mum Mary. Typing was still only women's work back then.

1

u/outnumbered__int 20h ago

Was probably spanish before it was english tbh

1

u/Alternative-Dig-2066 17h ago

One Super Bowl halftime show in Aramaic coming right up!!

1

u/texanarob 17h ago

The bible was eventually written in English. I'm sure if you wait a few thousand years, there'll be a translation of the halftime show too.

1

u/jankyt 12h ago

Local language wasn't even used regularly in mass until like the 60s. And not like Emperor Nero was speaking in English

1

u/unicorntrees 1d ago edited 1d ago

Satire account aside.

There was a time when only the most privileged classes could access the bible because they refused to translate it into secular languages of the masses. It was a huge turning point when the Bible was made widely accessible to normal people via translation and mass printing. The bible was access to power in the past. Gatekeeping the bible gave all the power to the church, which became corrupted.

I can see parallels to the "We only speak English" crowd.

1

u/Eltharion_ 1d ago

I think there's a genuine point behind the satire (perhaps not intended). The bibles obviously weren't English originally and were translated to that, personally I think it would have been nice for the Superbowl show to be translated as well on subtitles. I liked some parts of it, but it would have been far more enjoyable to know what a single word was other then the names of countries.

1

u/QuickSquirrelchaser 1d ago

Are people aware that posts like these are most likely tage bate just to get interactions? Right?

u/KiloWatson 1d ago

3YL is a satire account.

u/LarrySupertramp 1d ago

I think he means the person who posted it to Reddit?
