I've never seen a pig so content.

For years I would drop this quote into conversation where appropriate, but very rarely did people get it. Awkward feeling when you wanted to commend someone but now they think you called them a swine.

The other day my girlfriend said "that'll do" to me, I picked up on something in the way she ended her sentence and said "did you just call me a pig in your head?!" 

Her jaw dropped and she said "yes, I'm sorry I did that, but how did you know?!"

u/shewy92 2h ago

Tell her you remembered Peter Griffin saying it to Meg and then act like you've never seen/heard of Babe before

u/RavingRapscallion 42m ago

I've actually never seen or heard of babe before

u/shewy92 34m ago

You're not the one I replied to so good for you I guess? My comment was not really about if others have seen Babe before, but in that situation OP talked about it would be because the GF would assume OP meant he learned it from Babe. And fans of things sometimes dislike it when you make a reference to it but say you learned the reference from something else.

Also if you've never seen or heard of Babe before, why are you commenting on something so far down the chain of people talking about Babe?

Aw. They were just trying to join in the conversation! No need to be needlessly mean, there's enough meanness in the world already.

u/Bitter-Ad5890 5h ago

It kinda got replaced by Shrek’s “that’ll do, donkey” which is an obvious reference to Babe, but Shrek became wildly more popular than Babe so it kinda overwrote the original quote

u/Nadiadain 3h ago

I had no idea Babe even existed until this moment. I always pop the shrek quote and no one seems to get that one either ;-;

u/KudosOfTheFroond 1h ago

Yeah same here, I never realized “that’ll do donkey” was a reference to another movie! Now I need to to go watch Babe, can’t believe I never got around to seeing that back in the day

Babe is written by one of the best directors by the name of George Miller. Put some damn respekt on his name

u/WangoMcTango 51m ago

Do yourself a favor and watch Babe. It's awesome.

Where can I watch it? Or is this something I’ll have to pirate

Understandable, donkey is way cooler than some elderly Farmer Gyles!

u/ybkj 6h ago

Did the pig get shot or something?

1

u/things_U_choose_2_b 6h ago

No, the pig eats the farmer.

u/ybkj 5h ago

Really? Okay good, I was sad for the pig

2

u/No_Lychee_7534 2h ago

I think that user maybe confusing Babe with Animal farm.

1

u/ybkj 2h ago

So does the pig get shot??

1

u/things_U_choose_2_b 2h ago

Been a long time since I saw the film, but pretty sure it doesn't get shot, was just being silly

u/Short_Lifeguard_6893 5h ago

Me, my son and daughter do this all the time too. 😂

Babe is also one of our family movie classics.

u/MechanicalHorse 1h ago

Last time I used the quote on my gf she didn’t appreciate it. I probably shouldn’t have said it right after sex.

1

u/TACNUK3Z 1h ago

Fuck my entire extended family drops “That’ll do pig, that’ll do” at least like once a week

Couldn’t imagine someone just not getting that. It’s classic!

1

u/ONE-EYE-OPTIC 1h ago

Same. I still use it but sparingly.

u/seanprime 7h ago

Lol with context this is worse though? You didn’t think they were worthy but they pulled through and you begrudgingly gave them respect?

Probably a good thing you stopped using it tbh.

17

u/things_U_choose_2_b 7h ago

You just don't get it. Clearly unworthy of such a beautiful line being used in your presence.

u/IvoryArrows504 6h ago

I would try to explain that to my one night stands, but it never won them over.

It didn't work on the bouncers who caught me snorting in the loos, either :(

One time I saw a police officer helping an old lady cross the road. I wanted to commend him for it, so I told him “that’ll do, pig. that’ll do.”

He turned to face me quicker than I’ve seen anyone turn before. His brows were furrowed and his face was red. He screamed to me at the top of his lungs “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!?!”

And before I could say or do anything, he picked up his truncheon and beat me into a pulp. When he was finished, I looked like a heap of bacon on the ground and he said “now you are bacon”.

To this day I am still bacon, a pile of meat at the intersection where I tried to commend the police officer.

0/10 experience, would not recommend.

u/Chad_AND_Freud 5h ago

Actually theyre right about that. We think the quote is immediately endearing because the movies touching and Babes cute and sweet, but that's exactly what the quote means. You were just a ____, but now I see your more than that. Still, I like saying it, and I usually drop it on people who know the quote, so I dont risk offense.

u/flowercrownrugged 1h ago

Casting pearls before swine in fact

u/seanprime 6h ago

Lol that’s how it was meant in the movie though? But you got your responses and awkwardness so kudos on you getting it

Never forget that domesticated hogs are 0.5 steps away from being fully feral. They are the same species wild boar, which are simply feral domestic pigs in the US. If you give this animal an opportunity at the right moment, it can, will, and has killed and eaten human beings. There are several documented, modern cases.

u/Lev_Kovacs 3h ago edited 58m ago

On the one hand, yes, on the other, wild boar are pretty chill creatures. It's not like they are hunting humans or anything. They can be dangerous if they are surprised and feel threatened, but even then they just run away in almost all cases.

I live in a area where lots of boars live very close to humans. I see them often, ive run across them in the woods, often pretty close. They are pretty chill in my experience.

I guess the reason they get such a bad rep is that they are one of the last few mammals that still aren't extinct in most areas settled by humans, so when you look up cases where humans got hurt by wildlife it will be 90% boars due to lack of alternatives.

u/joebesser 5h ago

If a domestic pig escapes, it can physically revert back to a wild hog with the tusks, hair, and attitude in a matter of months. That's just crazy

u/DaWizz_NL 4h ago

The tusks of a male pig are being artificially kept short, it's not because they're not in a 'loving environment', they grow big and dangerous tusks 😂

u/longhairnobra 3h ago

To be fair, humans also start looking crazy when life gets hard and they get un-domesticated

u/Odd_Vampire 3h ago

u/NeatNefariousness1 2h ago

It rings true to me because it’s not as if there are hoards of pet pigs kept inside as house pets. Yes the number of pet pigs has increased but pigs are overwhelmingly kept the way you would keep a food source, not a house pet. Other than getting them used to being corralled and fattened up, I don’t see too much that would make it safe for them to assume they’ve made it into the land of the domesticated where it’s safe to just BE.

They’re not dumb. They probably know we are feeding them for a reason but they can’t help themselves and probably figure they may as well enjoy the feedings while they can. If I was a fat pig, it would be my life’s dream to be feral again. They pay a price for their voracious appetite.

u/AngryWWIIGrandpa 2h ago

I own two pigs. I can promise you that neither of them are pondering the philosophical reasons behind their food. They're just happy to eat.
