Ja rule

None of the artists pretending to be Ja Rule's friend in the late 90's to early 2000's came to his defense when the 600 pound gorilla 50 cent started to bully him. Jasper-Z (the badass gangster) and DMX (the guy that talked about fighting and jail often) were quick to make songs/money with the guy, but didn't stand up to 50 cent when he started to push people in their circle. Instead they ordered popcorn to watch the show (despite calling themselves something like impassive, or the opposite of passive/hardasses). These are not the kind of guys you would want by your side if 50 cent walked into a bar ready to fight somebody in real life, not if their real life behavior was anything like what they did with their music industry "friend".
If ja rule was at a bar with Jay-Z and DMX and 50 cent walked in, he'd be fucked, he'd have to give up his seat to 50 cent without any other option.

Rule 42068

If it is in any way, shape, or form in Fortnite the entirety of Reddit will search day and night without rest for something else that also contains it, and has arrived prior to 2017, then claim that Fortnite plagiarized it.

Rule 99

Hitler’s law

If it exists, Hitler has reacted to it (most likely the Downfall version of Hitler)

See also: Rule 99.9

If he has not yet reacted to it, he will
Videos or gifs of Hitler reacting to memes and pop culture that came into existence over 70 years after the fall of the Third Reich which in any event would have absolutely no relevance to an unhinged tyrant watching his world collapse around him is a perfect example of rule 99

Rule Z

Marketing rule: If it can't be sold as is, someone will remove the name and put the word Zombie on it. It will then sell with great success.
We could not sell Dried Seaweed so we removed the label and put Dried Zombie Skin on it. It's never sold better thanks to Rule Z.

If you ask the top people for their opinions first, you won’t get effective advice from the people below them.

A group of people can be asked to make a decision and will march off in a direction they never would have taken by themselves.

When doctors are preparing to perform brain surgery on your wife, pull the top surgeons and physicians into a breakroom with residents and other medical staff and ask the people on the lowest rungs of the profession for their opinions on the surgery first.

“I learned you do not want to ask the space shuttle commander, the flight director, the chief engineer or program manager his opinion first. If you do, you don’t get effective advice from the people below them.”
