Drink-Mix Man posted:Okay maybe I missed the mark with that post. Funnily enough they accidentally slipped the non laugh track version of MASH to the BBC when they started showing it, everyone complained so much when the mistake was "fixed" that that's still the version that gets shown on UK TV.

loquacius posted:that was in old simpsons, now the show has been around so long that Homer's childhood took place when Bart's childhood originally did This is why That 90s Show remains my favourite bad-era Simpsons episode - the plot is meh (but pretty drat spot-on music) but it made the sort of people who have to give every episode a letter grade *so angry* by breaking their precious timelines, and these sort of people need to be mocked and pilloried at every turn.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:....can someone summarize why this is funny? I'm not a big sports person. Denmark played Finland in the European Championships last night. Just before half time Denmark's best player Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch and required extensive medical treatment including CPR and possibly defibrilation (all this was done right on the pitch with the cameras on him, which is its own separate story). Miraculously Eriksen was awake when he was taken off the pitch - when he went down everyone's mind instantly went to Fabrice Muamba and Marc-Viven Foe who had similarly collapsed and required on-field CPR in a televised game, the former spending weeks in a coma and having to retire, the latter dying right there on the pitch. Given that, everyone assumed that the game would be cancelled, as happened in those previous mathces, meaning the 0-0 scoreline when play was suspended would have stood. Eriksen however apparently told his team-mates to carry on the match, and they (and the Finns) agreed (something that wrong-footed everyone so much that the BBC's TV commentators were still in the hotel when the match restarted, leading to some rather nervous-sounding radio commentators taking over the duties for a few minutes). Now I don't want to ascribe any but the purest Corinthian values to Eriksen and Denmark wanting to play on, but you have to assume *somebody* was thinking "Finland are the weakest team in the tournament and with all this going on this will be the easiest 3 points we've ever won" - winning all their group games would have guaranteed Denmark an easier draw and more home games in the knockout stages. However Finland hadn't read the script and proceeded to win 1-0, including saving a penalty from Denmark (whose usual penalty taker is, you guessed it, Christian Eriksen). There, isn't that much funnier now someone's explained it?

This is a bit of a reach even by this thread's standards, but I just can't stop laughing at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVexZbm2BIg Explanation for non-UK goons, or those fortunate few UK goons whose brains haven't been poisoned by The Discourse: Lawrence Fox is an actor from a pretty distinguished theatrical and showbiz family (his uncle is Edward Fox), who was previously married to Bille Piper (Rose from Doctor Who and almost stupendously out of his league) and since the divorce has become a loving terrible singer-songwriter and the most divorced man on earth. Obviously it's the woke marxist BLM mafia that is responsible for his amazing musical talents not being recognised: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLkvtHwSyM4

SniperWoreConverse posted:i don't fully understand why i like australiaposting so much and laugh basically every time Americans like Australia because it's a window to the alternative dimension where there wasn't that unpleasantness in 1776 so the Americas got a bunch of people from the good bits of the UK (they do exist, honestly) as well as all the religious weirdos. You still get all the boundless vistas and massive genocide but you also get to day-drink and say "oval office" recreationally.

Android Apocalypse posted:Never forget that The Simpsons creator Matt Goering is from Portland, Oregon. In the city's past it was rumored that actual Shanghai tunnels were used to kidnap drunks, who were then forced into labor on ships heading to Asia. My friend used to work in a pub that had a tunnel that ran about 50 yards to a corner of a shed inside the old West India Docks in London, and nobody's quite sure what it was for. Smuggling seems like the most obvious thing but the shed it ran to was a) on the export dock and people would probably have noticed contraband - at least contraband big enough to be worth digging a tunnel for - being moved all the way over to the export dock, and b) all the high-value (and high-tax) cargo got unloaded in a completely different set of docks almost 2 miles upstream. Also smuggling stuff into London was an absolute piece of piss anyway - it's almost 50 miles from the sea and there were loads of lightermen willing to offload stuff surreptitiously on the estuary and land it at Barking or Woolwich, safely away from the Revenue. It was probably actually just used to go steal stuff from the export docks - the docks in London, but particularly the West India Docks, were almost always used for importation of unfinished goods but the export of finished ones, and it makes more sense to steal the gin on the way out than the grain on the way in. What was particularly fun is that literally everyone who'd grown up in the area knew about the tunnel in the cellar of the Blacksmith's Arms... apart from the people who bought it to turn it into a restaurant and the developers of a skyscraper across the road, who were both rather surprised when the latter dug into and collapsed the tunnel, blowing out a wall in the kitchen of the restaurant.

Pththya-lyi posted:I actually saw the episode. Pity me That 90s Show was awesome because of just how angry it made the Comic Book Guy crowd. Like the episode itself was at best passable (well-done music bits though), but the frothing, incoherent rage at the fact it dared change the chronology (which of course was previously absolutely immutable and logically consistent) was a joy to behold. I mean just look at this: quote:Robert Canning of IGN strongly disliked the episode, also feeling that the continuity change was not a good choice. He said, "What 'That '90s Show' did was neither cool nor interesting. Instead, it insulted lifelong Simpsons fans everywhere. With this episode, the writers chose to change the history of the Simpson family." He gave the episode a 3/10, and suggested that this episode should have been set a decade earlier to fit classic Simpsons continuity.[4] He later added that it was his least favorite episode of the nineteenth season, and that it "was an episode that [he] will be erasing from [his] personal Simpsons memory bank."[5] Anything that makes people that insufferable so angry is an unalloyed good.

ultrafilter posted:Wade Boggs talked about that in this WaPo article. Yeah, my only knowledge of Wade Boggs is from the fact he appeared in The Simpsons and was referenced on Futurama and Always Sunny. That's going to be the case for most non-Americans and even a pretty big proportion of Americans, too. (It doesn't help that it's such a hilarious name that most people would assume was just made up if you talked about him as well)

Apollodorus posted:Grammer’s line readings are a truly meme in their own right, none more so than the grumble Bob makes after each rake impact. The best bit about what might be one of the funniest jokes in the history of the Simpsons was it was literally thrown in at the last minute because the episode was running short - he was only supposed to step on one rake, but they quickly added in all the other hits to fill in the time, and as the recording was already finished they just copied and pasted the exact same noise, which is part of what makes it so funny.

Lol, but also this episode came after Cape Feare so I wonder if they're making that joke as well. (also just watched Cape Feare for the first time in ages and gently caress me it's so good, and now I'm wondering if Kelsey Grammer or Al Brooks holds the record for "most bona fide classic episodes")
