snakes on a plane

guy 2: (calm) snakes on a plane man. snakes on a plane.
manipulative fake internet “viral marketing”, taken from the spamming of popular websites such as urban dictionary with fake “buzz” promoting a third-rate samuel l. jackson movie.

the beauty of an early reveal. this definition builds on the second big idea in josh friedman’s famous blog post: friedman loved the movie t-tle because it didn’t hide what the movie was all about. soap happens whenever you give away the big secret, the grand idea, early on. soap happens when you just tell it like it is.
executive producer a: i was thinking of calling the show ‘the rockford files.’

executive producer b: but wouldn’t it be about a bijillion times better if we called it ‘drunk, middle-aged pi living in a trailer on the beach?’ that would be totally snakes on a plane!
where you bend your d-ck down and put it in your b-tt
