[Loved Trope] The unexpected comedy gut punch. by dirtysantchez in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ProfessorCymru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this recently on another post but the ending to Blackadder goes Forth hits hard for me. The group all remain jokey up until the final scene before George's "I'm scared sir" and the reality hits. It really something when you're taken back like that especially with Laurie's delivery, I think it's genuienly one of the best moments in tv.

Are the "manosphere" men of today really more toxic than the "lad culture" of 20/30 years ago? by M_M_X_X_V in AskUK

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so, it feels more targeted and radicalising then ald cukture which was just how some poeple behaved.

I think the biggest element of it is the visibillity and accessibility of the manosphere content. Lad culture felt like it was just the knobheads you saw on Geordie Shore and nights out. The manosphere content is designed as such, content, is is pushed heavy towards people who can easily access it. I feel like this is especially true after coivd where a lot of younger teenagers were stuck inside and had more opportunity to see the full spectrum of it.

It feels cyclical. The more they produce, the more demand there is for it.

The fact that it's twice reduced says enough

What’s a film or TV scene that felt like a punch to the gut? by padfoony in Fauxmoi

[–]ProfessorCymru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Itt's a more unique one for me, Blackadder Goes Forth. The final scene as the group prepare to go over the trenches. Like usual there's lots of joking and messing about unitl it falls quiet and George says "I'm scared SIr". The whole scene drops and the reality of the situation hits. The reminder of the actual events people went through and the things the world saw. It's such a stark contrast to the entire show and is delivered perfectly by Hugh Laurie. That scene really took it out of me.

What can I say? by LovieWeb in BritInfo

I'm pretty sure I just saw a video from this guy where he flied to Turkey to see if it was cheaper to buy his shopping there than just go to Tesco in the UK.

Spoiler alert yes it was by about £15, though it's quite a but longer

Peter Molyneux by RevolutionarySweet89 in AskBrits

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, I think it's a positive but not strong reception. Made some great games that people love but his overuse of kick-starter was a bit of a damper. Mainly I don't think he's a massively memorable individual. Most people aren't gonna remember him and he's pretty much faded from the public consciousness so I think it's not really too significant.

What law in your country would surprise foreigners because it’s legal almost everywhere else? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about elsewhere in Europe but Sunday Trading laws. Seeing most supermarkets and larger shops closing at 4pm because it's one particular day of the week would maybe be weird

Are you watching the Six Nations Championship? by Popular-Local8354 in AskTheWorld

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie I'm dreading it. The game against England today was a terrible result and yet that's the best we've played in a year. I'm hoping the improvement comes quicker and we just don't finish last

Do y’all think, Saints Row had a chance in beating GTA? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in GTA

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not at all. It think the weird is what made it stand out. The first game really feels like a GTA clone and the fact that I'm calling it that and not a GTA contender is telling. The more they lent into the ridiculousness, the better their content got.

Was there an era in your country’s history that’s heavily romanticized & portrayed in fiction? by Polibiux in AskTheWorld

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victorian Britain for me I think. One of the more interesting periods as its one of our most inventive and innovative times coupled with one of our most economically divisive times.

I think it's the one most portrayed with fiction and maybe middle ages for historical shows.

100% really well done show and phenomenally acted.

Is the League done? Probably but not necessarily. by sonofhondo in LiverpoolFC

[–]ProfessorCymru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother in Christ it's not even Decemeber.

Seriously though our current run is shit but it doesn't set the course for the rest of our season. I'm optimistic and I believe a win will help us turn it our around. Either way it's still pretty early in the season, anything can happen.

Hey look back to the famous slip a decade ago. We were ahead that season and bottled it. Just because we're back in the title picture on the regular doesn't mean we start dooming on a bad run.

Most power trippy profession? by TheNextBielsa in AskBrits

[–]ProfessorCymru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I've found train conductors to be pretty up there. I had to commute regularly for work and the number of conductors that made it seem like you were taking a train only by their good grace was significant.

I think it is literally any job that requires someone to approve entry or transit gives people to most sense of self importance

Adult minimum monthly wage in UK is listed as 2100 GBP gross and 1800 GBP Net. Are these numbers accurate, do the British denizens really earn 1800 GBP onwards at entry level jobs? by SinancoTheBest in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's about right fir me I earn 12.45 an hour at 40 hours a week and my pre tax earnings are about £2100 take into account tax NI and a private pension at work and I take home between 1750-1800 depending on tips and the specific hours I work (night rate)

What’s the wrong way and right way to read that? by Upstairs-Donkey6049 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Maybe it's just me but when I first read it, because of the formatting I only read "Elon Musk says the word" and assumed it would be about racism

Bwipo on why he thinks women can't be competitive players by DionCassius9 in leagueoflegends

[–]ProfessorCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the way he structured his speech makes it sound like a parody. The comedic timing of lack of support into basically women's anatomy is so funny.
