Captain Splendid posted:That goat a chickle oat of me Dabir posted:haha yeah it's pretty funny haha but could you explain for the other people who didn't get it, unlike me haha That is the police officer from the British sitcom 'Allo, 'Allo, which takes place in a French village during WW2. I liked him as a kid because he talked funny. Later in life I realized that the reason why he is constantly messing up the vowels is because he is supposed to be an undercover British agent who doesn't even come close to speaking French fluently. There were several things about that show which went completely over my head as a kid, but were really obvious as an adult.

"'Allo 'Allo" is so freaking weird when you think about it. - It's a sitcom made in the UK, so everybody speaks English in it - But it's set in France, so everybody* is supposed to be speaking French - "French" is just English with a French accent - So Crabtree, who thinks he's fluent in French, makes errors, like saying "Good moaning" instead of "Good morning", meaning that to the viewer, he's crap at English-with-a-French-Accent-French. *Except the Germans**, who are supposed to be speaking German, but are just speaking English with a German accent. Also, I have no idea what language is "really" being spoken when a German and French character interact. **And the Italians, who speak like Mario "What-a mistake-a to make-a"

Bad Wolf posted:"'Allo 'Allo" is so freaking weird when you think about it. It's the same device that's used in fantasy and historical fiction where the wide variety of English accents are used to denote region or class. I don't know if it's just because people are so used to it, or if it's because it's more "timeless" to a western English speaking audience where say an American accent sounds too contemporary. What wigs me out as an Australian was something like Mass Effect Andromeda using Australian/NZ accents for the new race of aliens. In some contexts it works, Ben Mendelssohn's character in Star Wars uses his natural accent and it places him as slightly outside the in-group of the English sounding Empire. But hearing them in a Medieval inspired fantasy setting would just feel wrong.

Bad Wolf posted:"'Allo 'Allo" is so freaking weird when you think about it. It's also weird when an English speaking show gets translated and a character being unable to speak English is part of a joke/plot. If you say "he doesn't speak English" but the characters are speaking say French then it didn't make sense. But it equally doesn't make sense to change it to "he doesn't speak French" when you knew the characters and setting are English speaking. 90s Cringe Rock posted:Just cancel the UK.

Funniest part about 'Allo 'Allo to me, after all was said and done is that Gorden Kaye who played René was gay while Guy Siner who played Lieutenant Gruber is straight. Also, Guy Siner, lol.

no see the acid from the batteries helps break down garbage island so it sinks and creates new, very not dangerous, coral reefs. this is all very good for the ocean, only dicks that work for autozone disagree

BillyC posted:imagine taking the time to go to the ocean and not bringing used car batteries to bless the bottom of the blue. shameful There's a survival game called Raft where you build and maintain a raft on an endless ocean. It's pretty rad. Once you get a bit deep into the tech tree, you can start making batteries. When a battery is depleted, you can't recharge it. It's trash, and every time I toss one overboard, I can't help saying, "Here's one for those dicks at AutoZone!" Try explaining that to your wife and not looking stupid. My monitor is on. I checked.
