Line 6:
[[Rule Number One|The first rule of]] [[Fight Club]]: you do not [[Describe Topic Here|talk about]] Fight Club. The second rule of [[Fight Club]]: '''[[Department of Redundancy Department|you do not talk about Fight Club]].''' We intend to break both of those rules right now.
 
''Fight Club'', a 1999 movie directed by [[David Fincher]] and [[The Film of the Book|originally based on]] [[Fight Club (novel)|a 1996 novel]] by [[Chuck Palahniuk]], ended up becoming [[Adaptation Displacement|more famous than its literary inspiration]] (and even the author liked it better). It spawned two notable [[MeMemetic MeMutation|memes]]: one involves the first two rules of Fight Club, while the second involves the oft-repeated claim of a mix of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate making anything but the world's third-worst screwdriver.
 
The story itself follows the life of a man discontented with his life, which seems only to revolve around his dreary corporate job, support groups for diseases he doesn't have, and endless consumerism. During a business flight, the man meets a charismatic free spirit named Tyler Durden, and they eventually start a "support group" -- the titular "Fight Club" -- where other unhappy, unfulfilled men can get together and ''beat the ever-loving shit out of each other'' as a form of "therapy." Fight Club eventually escalates as Tyler turns from the man's best friend into a [[Sensei for Scoundrels]] -- and, eventually, into an [[Evilutionary Biologist]].
