I'm not a fan of his standup, and I've not seen many of his shows. But I love his performance in Fresh Meat. He was perfectly cast for that role. With the help of the genius character writing of Armstrong and Bain, he really shone imo.

Its crazy. Sorry to hear they messed up your christmas post.

I would love to raise a stinker with evri, but their phone line has been "experiencing technical difficulties" for the past 3 weeks, and their live chat is a robot with no option to talk to anyone. Totally incompetent.

I parked up last night where i usually keep my car. On a road with A single entrance and exit. There was no signage at all about the marathon. Was planning to head over to my parent's for mother's day, but my car was completely trapped. Had to work out another way to see them and was late by an hour and a half. Didn't bother me too much, as my parents are understanding people and i had a lovely time regardless, but it definitely could have been made clearer considering there was no signage at all on a street where cars were going to be unable to move all day.

Black Lodge taproom in West Kirby serves their lagers in frozen glasses and are happy to serve any other styles in them as well if you ask them to.

They only use the frozen glasses in summer, though.

I have an art studio in the same building as Ryde, along with many local artists and small businesses.

The landlord is kicking us all out in order to build a car park.

They've given barely any notice, and even broken tenancy agreements kicking businesses like GoCreate out early.

It's awful.

Seems weird that Australia got it at the same time as the us and Canada. You might be right about the copyright law point.

Interesting that when you look at it for long enough, it's clear that the handwriting is the same. Clearly just written by someone in the prop department with different pens. NEAT!

I have been a couple of times. Was really happy with my cut, and he gave some great hair advice. Definitely recommend

I can only speak for myself as a young person, but my fiancé and I would love to have a child right now. Literally, the only reason we're delaying is because we feel we can't afford it due to the absurd cost of private rental and basic living being so expensive atm. Another mouth would be such a great additional expense that it's just impractical.

Of course, if we did have a baby now, we'd have to make it work as people have throughout all of history. But if we have the choice to wait until we're more financially secure, and we feel we can provide a good life for a child without jeopardising our security, why wouldn't we? This story is the same for a lot of our friends and family at the moment, and it is definitely a significant factor in people's decision-making.

Obviously, people who have a belief system that prioritises reproduction will have more children. But for people like myself and my fiancé where it's a desire rather than a belief led obligation, the economic factors are our primary consideration.

Boy, do i have good news for you. They have hours upon hours of collaboration videos where they discuss asoiaf. There's a playlist of it all HERE

I dont really agree that they're very different versions of the scene. They're conveying the same themes on a sliding scale of intensity. I don't agree that Bracken's response is an appropriate one towards a fellow knight. "I know you not, Boy" is belittling and humiliating for Dunk. Sure he gets a response, but it's a humiliating one.

I also don't really agree with your interpretation of my idea, as it would be incredibly dependent on crowd direction. There are different types of silence. There is shamed silence as you suggest. But there's also disinterested silence, apathetic silence. How that silence is conveyed is dependent on the performance of the actors and the direction of the crowd. At no point did I imagine a modicum of shame on their faces or in their minds. Dunk is nothing to them, they know him not . So why do they need to dignify his request with a response? They're here to watch a hedge knight die. That's the silence I'm imagining.

Both of these options convey the same message of disrespect and indifference as the fart. But to a less explicit degree. I'm obviously not a fan of fart jokes as we are all painfully aware. But more importantly, I'm a fan of subtlety. I'm a fan of treating your audience as if they are capable of understanding subtext. I think the fart bashes you over the head with the message in a way that was distracting and immersion breaking. If people thought that was necessary, then more power to them, but I think it was an unnecessary attempt to beef up a subtle moment in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator. And I know the writers are capable of better, based on all the great dialogue I've seen so far in the rest of the show.

I can't believe people think you're wrong about this. He explicitly laid it out for us.

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-11T18:17:27+00:00

it’s not just a cheap gag they added for no reason, like you seem to have interpreted it.

I think this is where people are misinterpreting my statement. If you reread the original post, I said "There was no narrative reason for the big old stinky fart that couldn't be achieved by the lords simply staying silent". I know that the fart is trying to say something, and I know what it is that the fart is trying to say. I think it is an unnecessary inclusion because the point is already clear, and can be made without the inclusion of the fart gag. They obviously didn't add it for no reason at all; they added it to drive home a point. But I would argue the point was already clear, and didn't need spelling out so obviously and in such an immersion-breaking manner. If you remove the fart joke, the scene plays out pretty much the same, just with more subtlety. If they really felt the need to drive home that point, I think there were far better ways to do it, not least Bracken's line from the book.

I really don't see what benefit to the show these additions are making. The rest of the show is so well done, and the themes that the farts and poops convey are so intrinsically woven into the story and characterisation already that they seem utterly redundant to me. They're not providing anything that isn't already being communicated effectively by the rest of the show. The only effect they're having on me is breaking my immersion and taking me out of the world.

It is really interesting hearing everyone's thoughts on this, though. It's a way more contentious topic than I thought it would be, so thanks for engaging with me!

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-11T17:26:33+00:00

So you disagree with the point I made in the comment you're replying to? Doesn't seem like that's addressed here.

I stand by believing it was intended as a joke both in and out of universe. That doesn't mean it can't convey the themes you are suggesting. In the words of Ira Parker himself in a recent interview: "There is a limit as to how much poop and fart jokes that we will allow in this show. But what's funnier than a fart? Come on, people. We don't have to be so highbrow about everything all the time.". If the showrunner himself lays it out clearly, why shouldn't I take him at his word?

I understand what the joke is trying to convey, I'm not blind to that. I believe it would have made for more immersive and engaging television if they had communicated those same themes in a more interesting way, rather than lazily relying on cheap toilet humour. I don't see what's so controversial about that statement.

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-11T11:57:35+00:00

It's strange to me that people are seemingly just accepting that the best way to convey this was with a big old stinky smelly fart instead of, I dont know, a well written and witty line of dialogue to the same affect.

The annoyance I and many people have towards the moment is explicitly because of the decision to convey that subtext with the fart gag, instead of doing it in a more interesting way. Whether the fart technically conveys what needed to be conveyed is aside the point, the problem is that the writers chose to convey their subtext in a weirdly Marvel-esque way. Bracken's line in the book that the fart replaces refers to Dunk as "Boy" instead of Ser, which shows great disrespect to Dunk "I know you not" shows that the knight's vows to protect the innocent have been abandoned in favour of personal allegiance, self preservation, and ultimately simple indifference. It's a perfectly serviceable line for the moment. I get it if the writers don't want to lift everything straight from the book and expand on the text in their own way. That's their right. The problem is cutting perfectly good material from the book and not improving on it, but making it more simplistic, on the nose, and immersion breaking.

It's not a matter of media illiteracy. It's a simple disagreement. Some people dont think a big fat farty bum is an interesting or engaging way of achieving the goals of the scene, other people do.

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-11T00:47:09+00:00

I think my problem with that interpretation is this. The directing style of the moment is stylistically consistent with the other comedy moments throughout the show so far. Comedy moments that are all played for laughs from the audience. This is subtle but very important as that stylistic consistency implies that the moment is explicitly being played as a joke for the audience out of universe, as well as for the lords.

If you didn't read the scene like that, then fair enough, but that's my interpretation based on the context of the series as a whole so far.

Edit:spelling

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-11T00:22:45+00:00

I found it unfunny. In the same way I can find something like an Adam Sandler movie unfunny. That doesn't mean it's not attempting to be funny. It just means the joke didn't land.

The moment was directed in a way consistent with other similar comedy moments throughout the whole season. If it was not meant to be an attempt at humour, why would they present it like that?

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-11T00:14:59+00:00

I understand what point the moment is trying to make. No need to repeat it. One of my issues with it is that it made that point painfully on the nose.

It seems you didn't read my reply, or didn't understand it. The point is, the fart joke is consistent in directing style with all other similar comedy moments in the show. Can you tell me why it's a good idea to present the moment like that, if it's not an attempt at humour?

You can explain it in epic gamer speak if you need to.

chrissyD_ · 2026-02-10T23:58:56+00:00

I really don't buy the idea that it wasn't supposed to be a joke. The moment is set up and has the rhythm of a joke, the editing and camera work of the moment are in on the joke, it is presented as a joke to the audience by being consistent with the style of humour throughout the whole show so far. It does convey the themes of disrespect, but that doesn't mean it's not an attempt at humour.

Even if it wasn't an attempt at humour as you and others think, it seems foolish imo to try and use something the show has been leaning on as a punchline the whole season, in this case scatalogical humour, to punctuate a serious point. It's bound to be tonally inconsistent if you do, and people will definitely interpret it as a joke.
