51 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of October 21, 2024
Back when Sony first started to fear that the Zachary Levi-led Harold and the Purple Crayon might be a disaster, the studio attempted to pawn it off on Netflix. In particular, Sony worried that the film wouldn’t stack up to Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 at the box office. Netflix smartly rejected the offer, and Harold and the Purple Crayon went on to do exactly what Sony thought it might: flop.
News of the once-possible acquisition broke this week, with one Twitter user saying they would cause irreversible damage to themselves if they made a movie that “wasn’t good enough to be a Netflix original.”
Lucky for Levi, though, the killer Harold takedown wasn’t the only harsh dig to come out of the timeline this week. Other digital burn victims included an essay writer who doesn’t know right, the lack of QB depth on the Las Vegas Raiders and the most devilish song in existence.
