You know what, Madred, if you want me to see five lights, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don’t you just make them five lights?

Michael, with the printer and a baseball bat.

I always thought this was a funny scene, because if you know what the parts of a printer are called, it’s obvious what “PC Load Letter” means. So Michael is obviously just bad at his job.
Load letter sized paper into the paper cassette, in case you didn’t know.

Wtf is letter sized paper?
Zoidberg@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Freedom paper! 8.5"x11". There’s also legal for when you’re in trouble or spending a ton of money: 8.5"x14".

In the US, they don’t use A4, they use “letter”, which is slightly wider, and “legal”, which is slightly longer.

I was rolling laughing at this, and then I had to try to explain it to my wife. It is basically unexplainable.

So basically, it’s a meme originating from Star Trek wherein a species communicates exclusively through idioms and descriptions of events, making it impossible to translate without an understanding of their overall culture and history. Shaka When the Walls Fell probably means failure, it can be translated as “wow” in best case or “this is devastating” in the worst case.

This almost sounds like a prediction of contemporary meme culture where every situation or emotion is conveyed though a shared collection of phrases and images.
