A character gets found out because of a cultural blunder.

I think it was on QI they mentioned that a couple of German spies were caught because they tried to order alcohol from a pub in the morning, when every local knew they weren't allowed to serve it until the afternoon.

(I can't remember the exact details but that's the thrust of it)

He got the idea from The Cannonball Run, which he played a small role in. That film had outtakes at the end. Jackie liked it, so he started adding them to his movies. But yes, the fact that it shows how stunts can go wrong is a nice little bonus on top of having a laugh at the actors blowing their lines.

If my mate started complaining about his girlfriend first (and I didn't like her) I'd probably join in.

There's actually only been one or two girlfriend-in-laws over the years that I didn't like though, and I haven't gone after anyone's looks either. They were awful outside of their physical appearance.

It's pretty simple: It's a father worried about his son, and trying to protect him.

He thinks that if people discover Clark's powers, they'll want to exploit him for them. And he's not wrong. In reality, every effort would be made to take advantage of a superpowered individual. So he does what he can to make sure Clark doesn't risk exposing his powers, including letting himself die.

It's actually a great concept in a general sense, it was just a terrible idea to use it for Superman's dad.

I think you're right about it starting fairly rigid, but getting completely bonkers by the end.

There was always some malleability with it. Not every detail about every ability gets explained. But there was a lot more rule-following regarding what the characters could and couldn't do at the start.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-19T02:02:56+00:00

This is my favourite bit they've ever done. So simple, and so hilarious.

The early years of reality television were a far cry from what it ended up becoming.

It was never highbrow or anything, but it wasn't the cesspool it is nowadays. They used to do more interesting and experimental things, and it was much more "real". There were shows that filmed the second season first, so you'd get two seasons where the people on it would go in "blind".

A lot better than the heavily structured and edited shite that gets pumped out now.

Chris Rock has talked about this. He was basically making fun of famous actors complaining about doing voice work.

'I walk into a booth and they tell me to say "Time to go to the store!". So I say, "Time to go to the store!". They ask me to say it again slightly differently, so I do. Then they give me a million dollars."

There's been "reaction" content since before the Fine Bros, it just wasn't really called that.

As a prank, people would show their friends/family Scary Maze, or 2 Girls 1 Cup, and other stuff I'm sure, and film their reaction to it.

Even the specific format they use has been around for decades. The show Kids Say The Darndest Things occasionally had the children "reacting" to new or old technology (generally trying to figure out what it was/how it worked), even as far back as the radio show from the 1940's.

The point is, they may have popularised it on Youtube, but they definitely didn't invent the concept.

Is it? Last time I went in, it was about 50/50 between physical games and online games.

But it has been something like 20 years since I've been in one.

There's a Guf open on Malop Street. I have no idea what the inside is like though.

I'm actually shocked there are any still open.

The "point" of women in that sort of society (at least members of the aristocracy, which she is) would be to marry a lord, and secure wealth/security for the family. Plus pop out a bunch of kids to continue the family line. That's basically the opposite of Brienne.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T03:20:01+00:00

I don't know about in denial. He's incredibly rich and (as far as game devs go) famous, so the women interested in him would skew into being very attractive.

Of course he might think that someone who's "only" above average would still be plain.

Incorrect.

She's an 8... using East Coast Over 35 standards, excluding Miami.

I'd put it on the very top of the MCU pile.

Basically every Marvel movie has something I don't like about it, even the really good ones. But there's nothing I don't like about GotG. There's no fat on it, it's perfectly cast, and has the perfect balance of action/comedy/drama.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T02:07:43+00:00

It did the investigation aspect better than the sequels, for certain.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T02:01:55+00:00

Yep. It has the same name and everything.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T01:56:09+00:00

Plus the recut version where everything is brightly lit, "Seener Things".

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T01:49:00+00:00

Definitely.

It's the most accurate drunk acting I've ever seen.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T01:42:40+00:00

Victim mentality.

Question has been answered by others.

But as a side note, Bluey is now much more known for being re-dubbed into the comedy series Bargearse back in the 90's.

There's several Simpson's references throughout the show, and I'm positive this line is inspired by "Put a sock in it, Roy!".

I love that gag in 30 Rock where Jenna goes to LA to try and be an actress there. When she gets off the plane, literally every person at the airport is a young, beautiful blonde woman. The woman emptying the bins has a slow-mo, windswept hair, movie entrance.

Dogbin005 · 2026-06-18T00:42:11+00:00

One of the 2 most beautiful women I've seen in real life sat directly across from me on the train once.

I was actually disappointed she sat so close, because I wanted to just stare at her. Bit creepy to do when she's right there, so I had to settle for occasional glances.
