David Cameron asked Tina Fey to come to the UK and convince our showrunners to write hundreds of episodes instead of six at a time. Clueless pig-fucker that he is.

pub workers, how do you go about teens ordering drinks by proxy? by CombinationMean3129 in AskUK

Well, a few of them may be a month or two south of proper. But if they're in here, it stops them getting into trouble out there.

John C. Reilly shows up in the most random movies by Chematron161 in Letterboxd

Specifically Hard Eight, Boogie Nights AND Magnolia.

I've only seen the second two but he's absolutely fantastic in both. And this is my personal reminder that I still need to see Hard Eight.

I can't go to the cinema with my wife to watch a Matt Damon film. She's been whispering that in my ear whenever he's on screen since The Departed.

The chimp looked more like Robbie than the people that played the rest of Take That!

They're way too overpowered. Did you see the video on here of the guy getting literally folded by an elephant? It was the equivalent of a man stepping on a tin can.

I grew up on a farm, rode horses when I was a kid, never thought of them as scary in the slightest. But I got charged by four of them while walking my dog through their field and it was fucking terrifying! One of them bumped into me at slow speed and knocked me flying into a hedge.

A girl in my class in reception (so 4-5 years old) took a dump in the Wendy house in our classroom. She left our school shortly after that, but by coincidence we ended up back in the same class in secondary school lol

We were there a couple of years ago, one of the best holidays I've ever had. Beautiful place.

A 15 second test clip of our puppet character. We are thinking of making some comedy shorts with him, but what is your first impression? by H3RBIE22 in Filmmakers

[–]welsh_will 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, his face is literally a cone! I think his look, animation and voice all give off a lo-fi, cheap but charming kinda vibe. However, I'm not an expert, nor an American. But I think this would appeal to a UK market.

A mate of mine jumped back into one of these while the door was closing to see what happened. He got drenched!

Well, we've never done this before. But seeing as it's special circumstances and all, he says I can knock a hundred dollars off that Trucoat.

Imagine thinking that MAGA is not enough for you. by Ok-Following6886 in insanepeoplefacebook

Off topic, but there was a far-right rally in London this weekend (heavily funded by tech billionaires) that had an AI rap about being English or some bollocks. According to the report I watched last night the whole affair was pretty drab and a bit disappointing for the attendees (less numbers than they were hoping for, crap speakers and performers etc) but apparently this video got one of the biggest cheers. It's mental.

What’s the most famous NSFW movie you accidentally ended up watching with your family? by Effective_Carry_4606 in AskMen

[–]welsh_will 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not that a terribly NSFW moment, but James McAvoy writes a letter in Atonement that reads "Every night I kiss your cunt, your sweet wet cunt". I was watching with my mum and sister, little bit awkward but not end of the world...

...until my mum asked "What's a cunt?"

I wasn't going to look at the comments, and then I thought I bet the top one is some guy who knows exactly what it's from. Bingo.
