Ratatouille

Through March 2015, I’d only ever submitted one thing to Reddit: Hulk Hogan Plays Guitar On Top of Places. That set a pretty high bar.

One of my favorite communities on Reddit is /r/FanTheories — a domain where sleuth fans search movies, tv shows, and general media for clues left (often unintentionally) by producers which can add to, explain, or change the narrative in a meaningful way. Favorites of mine include theories on Super Mario BrosWilly Wonka and Back to the Future.

In re-watching Pixar’s Ratatouille last week, I stumbled upon something clever which felt to me like it’d made the cut — both in maintaining my pathologically high Reddit submission standards, and in adding something substantive to the movie’s intended story.

Check out submission #2, worth about 600 fake internet points: [Ratatouille] Chef Gusteau, like Linguini, was being controlled by a rat.
