The x is an x, like in xbox

An x is like an x? That's too far even for me and I do all the drugs

I was legitimately irritated when the called the gen after 360 the "One" instead of the "Delta." They had a good thing going, why would they F that up?

[-] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

To this day, I am amazed at how badly they effed that name up.

[-] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's effing crazy, I say.

why delta ? because of the triangle ?

Its crazy to think how much I legitimately cackled at these when they hit the scene, no shade to younger us, it was novel then. just funny to think about is all

It's weird that that's just how humor seems to go. At one point, the pinnacle of comedy was someone getting pied in the face.

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

This is because comedy often revolves around subversion of expectation. When something becomes expected, like a pie to the face, it’s no longer funny.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

free comedy tip, slick. the pie gag's only funny when the sap's got dignity

Like all slapstick tbh. Inspector Clousau doesn't enter the situation with the expectation that he will push the duchess tits in the wedding cake, and then slip and rip her dress off. Delboy wants to play it nice and cool but still falls down

dammit now i really, intensely miss Peter Sellers. The movie they cut together after his passing was not great, but A Shot In the Dark was phenomenal.
