I distinctly remember the Wet Bandits cutting the phone line.
And didn’t one of them show up at the house at the beginning dressed as a police officer? For all Kevin knew the police were in on it!
Kevin thought the police were violent thieves. Home Alone was accidentally based.

And Kevin thought the police were after him when he stole that toothbrush from the store.
The were, at least the one
Kevin also enjoys a good western—he might have a healthy skepticism concerning law enforcement.
God dern Pinkertons.
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!
I’m gonna give you to the count of ten. 1… 2… 10 bang bang
Yep. The meme seems to be created by someone who has a vague recollection of the movie, with assumptions of it being a lot simpler. There are a ton if plot holes in the movie, but this is not one of them.
It was the wind storm that also knocked out the power.
How did he order pizza then, hmmmmm?!
Edit: I’m learning that it’s possible that the tree knocked out the long distance wires, but left local calls still connected and functional. 911 would still work, but as others pointed out maybe he wasn’t trusting the cops at the moment.
Though he does call the cops on the wet bandits at the end? Maybe he valued his safety less than he loved being alone.
Edit2: though his parents are able to leave answering machine messages on all the neighbors’ machines, so there goes that theory
That’s not really how phone lines work, unless the central office had its own issues. When you have a POTS (plain old telephone service) line at your house, that two-wire pair runs directly back to the central office where it gets switched to local, long distance, etc. So if you have dial tone, you’re connected.
I think the argument is that the connection between the central office and whatever long-distance hub was severed. This isn’t depicted in the film, as they only show the tree falling nearby the house.

This movie is clearly Kevin’s side of the story. He likely made that part up. This was sport to him.
How did he see the house from the outside?
This isn’t Inception bro
Go on and call the Chicago PD. See how safe you feel. Go on we’ll wait.
He’s white. Jon Burge would not have tortured him like he did to hundreds of black men.

Yeah, they’d actually give a fuck whether HE lived or died…
Sorta like how breaking bad could have been 1 episode if it was set in Canada
Why?
Socialized Health Care
Tbf Walter White already could have circumvented the entire show had he just sucked up his pride and accepted the money from his
sister in lawold work partners.It was from his old partners from grey matter industries (Gretchen and Elliot) not his sister in law that he turned down money. And in the end he ended up supporting his sister inlaw and brother in-law when Hank was going through rehab
Euthanasia
Exactly, because Kevin couldn’t actually call the police (phone lines were down) and Walter’s real problem was never the money :)
Maybe he didn’t want to get shot, at least the bandits didn’t have guns.
The police did come and check the house out days prior, and deemed it a false alarm.
He was a Good Son.
Feels weird that I didn’t even need a meme to figure this out. Those movies were very weird looking back.
Kevin = Jigsaw
New shared universe just dropped
My go to line in social situations is: “Some say the most dangerous game is the hunting of man. I think that it’s X”
Pouring coffee, stacking ceramic mugs, punching fascists, liking an unpopular musician - it all pans out the same.
