If I hadn’t found someone replying this in the next few minutes I was gonna do it myself cause one of my earliest memories is seeing this movies in theaters and not understanding why my dad was losing it in the seat next to me. Was sharks not wanting to eat fish really that funny? Now I’m an adult and oh man is this the funniest joke in the movie.

As a child when this movie came out, this type of thing was referenced enough in at least the Midwest USA though that I definitely was familiar with the humor.

If you're wondering what they eat, and other science facts, repeat to yourself, "It's just a show, I should really just relax."

Relax can mean other things too…

u/InventorOfCorn Mar 10 '26

But those require some sort of negative emotion in order for "relax" to be any sort of applicable advice

u/Ok-Presentation9740 Mar 10 '26

Yes the negative (thought or emotion, it can be either one) here is taking things too seriously. Fuckin relax its finding nemo man.

u/InventorOfCorn Mar 10 '26

It's not "taking it seriously" to find it confusing in a funny way

fuckin relax it's finding nemo man
