What's the context for "now, Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" in the top right??

A good tabloid doesnt need context

[–] TheBat 5 points 1 month ago

good tabloid

Oxymoron

I suspect it's a little too silly for even a tabloid - I'm wondering if this is from Viz or Private Eye or similar?

It's Frank Costanza advertising relaxation mantra "Serenity now"

It's a Festivus miracle!

Not sure, but the section underneath it is about Prince Andrew so it does make sense.

it's super liminal advertising.

they are telling you to relax, now.

I believe the phrase you’re looking for is tongue in cheek.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You have to say it with a stiff upper lip though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

can't be any stiffer with a bellend crammed upper

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Who's tongue and who's cheek?

Oh, do let me try, this may be too unconventional though: -Gavin and Stacey -Outnumbered -Wallace and Gromit

[–] fjordbasa 5 points 1 month ago

Don’t be absurd!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'd accept:

  • Wallace and Gromit
  • Gavin and Stacey
  • Outnumbered

The only constant of those lists is that Wallace and Gromit isn't third.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I only take my Grom-com after Outnumbered, thank you very much. We got through the crazy oughts with their Wallace and Gromit before Outnumbered and Gavin and Stacy, we can not possibly go back.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I was not aware there was going to be a Outnumbered Special this year, and I am very much looking foward to that

What's a TV? Is that like a standalone monitor with analog Netflix?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's a machine for boomers to consume their daily dose of adverts and propoganda. Typically comes with a number based control device allowing for the input of infinite channel numbers. However the typical user gets confused when counting above five and refers to that as unnecessary new fangled.

In more rural areas anything beyond 4 may be considered too advanced
