The TMI equation is true solid science which cannot be changed. Theres nothing we can do about it

Verrrrrry pregnant pause
(Next post: pregnant pauses)
This is the first time me moderating c/southpark has been relevant.
Can you provide a video example? Any example doesn’t have to be this one.
The therapist guy asks it during group therapy in the Small dicks/school publishing the dick sizes episode
TBH I can’t find that specific line in the episode. The psychologist has extra pauses when talking to Cartman because he’s terrified of him and lying on the spot. That’s the closest thing I saw.
Can you give me a time stamp?

Ill rewatch it when i have a moment :)
I wanna say it goes back to golden age Hollywood movies where they want to hint to the audience that a character has a sinister motive or agenda that isn’t immediately known to the other characters in the scene.
Recent uses of it make it a lot more obvious that the character that says it is up to no good. As you mentioned, South Park had used it quite a bit. I remember it coming up in Community too. I don’t remember which episode, but I wanna say Britta uses it in a meta way that the other characters immediately recognize she’s planning to sabotage the situation.
