WOW. QI is even odder without an audience than any other show. They really added a lot and were one of the best contestants

omg they got to the audience less shows already? Actually does this series have fewer shows because of covid?

e Oh wow Johnny Vegas is looking older

Ok I kinda of like this relaxed atmosphere. It's ten minutes in and they are still on the buzzers!

I mean, that was the same defense for the 30 Rock episodes. The joke was how offensive the blackface is.

I think its pretty fair to question why white written shows like Community and 30 Rock thought blackface jokes were fair game even if the joke was "isn't blackface so offensive?"

But mostly I'm white so like, I sure as gently caress ain't sticking up for it.

Well the two black swans joke wasnt that great

I guess the reasoning there would be that the joke is that it is Alec Baldwin identically so like you'd never use another actor. Still its probably entirely unnecessary to "brownface" him for the joke (and I admit I don't think I noticed it or at least don't remember it) so still problematic in that regard.

And yeah, I'd guess the fact that "blackface" is a real, tangible specific historical thing. Its still like offensive historically when Fisher Stevens goes "yellowface" for Short Circuit, but its definitely got some different context in America for obvious reasons.

It always just looked like the telenovela lighting to me tbh



Also, Netflix does have content warnings at the beginning, albeit rather unobtrusively in the corner iirc.

Did you guys hear about that one History Channel show that found a picture of a guy in the 70s or whatever and theorized it was actually Hitler still alive in Argentina and did complex facial analysis to "prove" it and seemed pretty confident they were onto something? Well, a YouTuber did a reverse image search and you'll never guess who it turned out to be:

Yeah YouTube or downloads probably your best bet just because it was controversial enough back when it aired, Netflix et al would be unlikely to reopen that can of worms.

Reasons: Gandhi is portrayed as a party hard dude who doesn’t really care much for other people. Everyone in the show is an exaggerated stereotype, but India really took offense to it.

ive played enough civ to know this is true, tho

And I get irrationaly annoyed at how 'fantasy' castings are always either super famous or super popular. There's one I saw going around about fantasy casting for harry potter's dad and his friends: Dr who, Loki, Sherlock, and Bilbo.

I'm a little high and my wife is watching classic Unsolved Mysteries and these reenactments are trippy as gently caress.

I can never tell if they have the actual people doing some of the reenactments. I've seen every episode at least once (so obviously i had to make the unsolved mysteries thread) and yet im always unsure.

May just be a face blindness thing tho

In New Mexico we talked a bit about the Conquistadors and tribal history (nothing detailed, just enough to not pretend bad poo poo didn't happen which is a fair bit more than most folks seem to get), and also made fun of Texas history.

Thanks to the textbook consortium being steered by Texas, even Wyoming learns Texas history.
