Kevin, you sneaky devil! I am a retired English teacher, and you hooked me in with your title. Dramatic irony? Really? How did the writer find enough examples of dramatic irony to fill an entire episode? I couldn't click on it fast enough. Of course, we know what happened next. To your credit, you came clean, so all is forgiven, plus you get a few points for knowing the difference between these two types of irony.

[@Spooky_Platypus]

@@mariz2361if you pause the video, you can read that worksheet that tells you all the different types of irony 😊

[@droomzy]

@@mariz2361I'm pretty sure dramatic's irony a type of irony that the audience knows about but the characters within the story don't know about fully as the situation unfolds. Like Romeo & Juliet was an example of dramatic irony because the characters just missed each other while executing their plan of running away together & one of them took their own life unaware that the other was on their way (I don't remember completely which order they died though, it's been a while since reading R&J) hopefully this helped somewhat

[@BlackNewty]

I find it ironic that the one time Kevin gets a compliment he deserves he’s not in here soaking it then.

[@WoodworkerDan]

@ Good explanation and a good example. As a reminder, here's what happens in Romeo and Juliet: Juliet takes a potion that makes her appear to be dead but she is actually alive. Romeo finds her, thinks that she is dead, and kills himself with poison. Juliet awakens, sees that Romeo is dead, and kills herself with a dagger.

[@jacquelynsmith2351]

My mom is also against motorcycle helmet laws. She plans her cross-country trips to avoid as many states as possible that have helmet laws. She was in a crash with a car that ran a red light when she was turning into the cemetery for my grandma's, her mom's, funeral. My mom was ok, but she missed the funeral. Wear your damn helmets!

[@blackc1479]

I remember when this went into effect in FL. Had to have been a week or so later, I had a breakdown. The towtruck driver I got was telling me about having to work a scene with a bike fatality from literally like a day later.

[@mwolkove]

Glad you didn't have to plan her funeral immediately after your grandmother's.

[@sophierobinson2738]

Helmets are cool, nowadays.

[@SirWuffleton]

Even protected by a car it's hard to trust any traffic signal without making sure that your right-of-way is actually clear - double checking your intersections and train crossings is one of those tips from driver's ed that's always stuck with me. Glad she was okay here - it's insane how little regard and awareness some drivers have for intersections, motorcycles, and the rules of the road. That helmet could save your life one day.

Not completely true, people on lock down are not using TP at work. That meant more was needed for home use.

[@jenna6149]

My family did the warehousing and trucking for a company that makes the majority of store brand toilet paper in our region. They were working nearly around the clock delivering because there was plenty to be delivered and even more idiots that probably are still using what they bought.

Yeah, if you dont ride anymore because of that accident, then it did affect you. But that's okay. Im glad you're safe, and your kids will enjoy having you around more than they will a dad who rides. My mom just lost a good friend this month to a snowmobile accident. She wasn't wearing a helmet, and her stepson was right behind her. He watched her crash, and she died right in front of him. It's really sad.

[@droomzy]

That surpasses 'tragic' & goes straight into 'traumatic' territory man. No matter how old he was, I can't imagine that that's an incident anyone's ever ready to witness, especially her son 😢

[@JasonFord-l3p]

Actually, the cost for care of someone in an accident without insurance in the us is generally counted as a loss for the hospital, which drives the price of care up drastically, as a consequence of not having a universal healthcare system. It's part of the reason that care/drugs/everything medical costs WAAAAAY more in the US than in countries that have their sh*t together...

[@bayoubilly5176]

I'm convinced she did it on purpose. I've seen too much of her with Kevin Smith. She's incredibly intelligent and well read. Pretty sure it's her stab at the industry in general and just happened to be a selected single that hit well. (Though Ed Burns bit about her is still hilarious). "What if I wrote a song about irony with no irony in it?" It's just tooooo easy. I can't help but conclude it's on purpose. Especially the smirk she gets whenever someone "confronts" her about it in person.

[@MrMBP1980]

How ironic

[@tmallot]

Okay, hear me out. I have a theory the the ironic song is a commentary on "main character syndrome" and the usage is dramatic irony based on the idea that a person expects, being the main character, their story to go one way but reality, the audience, knows it will go the other. I may be reading too much into it, but from what I gather from some of her other works I think she may be going for that.

On Americans and high bail, not that it's enforced, but how I wish "court fees" for dismissed misdemeanor charges had rules to limit l, as I spent 7 separate nights in a police holding cell when I was homeless for my inability to pay them constantly being added to and extended, at one point reaching over $700. All over a misdemeanor "concealment of merchandise" of a 3 dollar lighter from a Walmart that specificly told the police they didn't want to press charges and only even had to call them because I couldn't afford a state ID for their paperwork. After I got my mental health treated and off the street for 4 years I decided to start taking care of it and showed up at the court. The judge dismissed the fee's of the legal axe hanging over my neck for a decade. Clean record and 5 years of having my own place now.

[@lauramanuel7619]

The toilet paper shortage was partially artificially made as people ran out and bought huge amounts of it anticipating a shortage. But yeah. There was a 3 month period within which it was almost impossible to find toilet paper in stores and there were purchase limits. As my supply dwindled and even Amazon had no toilet paper… people began to google reusable toilet paper replacement. Thankfully it never came to that in my house.

@@omgandwtf1 Can you be swayed with logic and reason, or are you tied to an emotional belief ? Cause if you can be swayed with logic and reason... I want you to ask yourself... When bird shit lands in your hair... do you A: Take a paper towel and wipe it out and think "well this is clean now" or do you B: also wash your hair. A bidet allows you to wash your ass after you've plastered it with sewage. It's undeniably cleaner then just taking the nearest piece of dried out processed tree bark and scraping it. Second point is... Do you leave the lid (not the seat ) up when you flush ? If so, do you ever point your face down ? if so... congrats your germaphobia is cured. (seriously, watch the myth busters bathroom episode). Now if neither of these arguments have swayed you, then you now know that your belief is purely emotional and based on your feelings and not logic or reason. :-)

RE: helmet laws - Michigan also no longer requires helmets, which I think is stupid.

25:30. A pardon- of the Presidential variety, at least- just means you are free of the consequences of your crime, not that it never happened. You actually are required to officially admit your guilt in order to receive one; the logic is that you cannot pardon an innocent person, only a guilty one. There have actually been a few instances of people refusing a pardon because they insisted they were innocent, and would rather serve time wrongly than claim to be guilty of a crime they didn't commit. ***edited to fix typos

7:48 I love that you use Ryan George clip....... I love you...........😅

[@an0mndr]

26:44 i knew someone who had 9 dui charges before they decided to revoke his license. For 2 years

[@SirDigbyChikkinCaesar]

It's wild how lightly DUI offenses are treated. It's almost as if our society values driving and drinking more than being socially responsible 🤔😂

[@blackc1479]

I worked with a dude way back, really cool. He'd lost his for DUI too. We all went out to winghouse one day. In the space of ...maybe 40mins dude put away like three ltr mugs and two long necks of domestic. Then went back and did another few hours of tech support. No slurring, anything. (He was like 5'8, 170) I shudder to think how much booze it took for him to get pulled over.

[@an0mndr]

@@blackc1479 probably was just speeding a bit or ran a light and then got breathalyzed. I think people getting DUIs after being pulled over for swerving all over the road is alot rarer than being pulled over for other reasons and then caught for drinking.

[@BarbaricAvatar]

Awesome video. I can't praise any single aspect as everyone involved was on-form for this one. Thanks!

[@alicialuxx8210]

Alanis Morissette wrote her song You Oughta Know about Dave Coulier aka uncle joey from full house

[@tonyahinrichs8828]

Is that the one about a cross eyed bear? 😂

[@wlam205]

Ofg A+ Ryan George usage, I'm sure it was super easy barely an inconvenience.

[@ethancleveland3276]

Glad to know you also love Alanis Morissette❤

[@ethancleveland3276]

Even happier to find out Simon has, likely more than once, blasting his shit off on the shower

[@hayleelunala4071]

Need a Dogma video like the Princess Bride vid from a few years ago!!!

[@blackc1479]

Holy crap, that's an awesome idea. I call metatron. 😂

[@hayleelunala4071]

@blackc1479 simon would LOVE the end!!

[@mastpg]

It takes

[@JoeySchmidt74]

Florida is really weird where, as long as you're "rich", you can be a felon and still become potus.

[@GatorScientist]

That's not just Florida ~ nothing in the U.S. Constitution prevents a felon from holding office. In any event, the whole trial and conviction was nothing more than a sham and the American people knew it. Conviction will be overturned on appeal due to judicial misconduct.

[@AletuatheFallen]

I know I post this every bloody Friday at this point but I cannot stress enough how much it helps knowing there's a video dropping that never fails to make me cackle 😂 Thank you again for that sweet ✨Friday Dopamine ✨!

[@Footbally4b]

I wanna see a video of Simon talking about sports history and guess true or false

18:40 the toilet paper shortage had something to do with the blockage of the Suez Canal by that ship that got stuck sideways during the pandemic

[@lmpeters]

The incident with the Ever Given in the Suez Canal happened later. The toilet paper shortage had more to do with the fact that the U.S. had almost no effective leadership in the early days of the pandemic, and so lots of people panicked and started hoarding anything if there was even the slightest hint of a shortage.

[@alchobum]

TV talk show people joked that it could cause a tp shortage. Millions took it as fact and went a hoarding.

[@lmpeters]

@@alchobum If I remember correctly, the joke that led to a toilet paper shortage happened in the 1970s, around the same time as the oil embargo. It was referenced many times during the COVID-19 pandemic because the patterns of panic buying were similar, but the root cause was different.

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

I bought jagged little pill with my own American money dollars when it came out, I was about 23.47 years old, I really liked the basslines.

[@rossichirita6842]

Florida man friday is TIGHT!!

[@shrewbuffet]

Yeah, no problem w firearms, but huge problem w people who do not follow the rules of gun safety! 👿

[@ERMediaOfficial]

In Austria we have digital drivers licenses. You got yer phone with ya? There's an official app for that. Also goes with ID card, registration, public transport tickets, taxes, ecard for healthcare... Basically we do not need a wallet.

[@blackc1479]

That's pretty nifty. I don't understand leaving home without your wallet, but these days it's infinitely more likely than going somewhere without your phone.

[@jonyemm]

I think it's pretty stupid that in America, at least in the state of Pennsylvania, if driving we are required to have a physical driver's license and vehicle registration, and display both (along with vehicle insurance but that can be digital) if pulled over. The police know the status of our registration when they run out plates and when they run out plates it tells them the registered owner. If we give them our DL number they could pull our license up that way as well. They just started to accept digital proof of insurance a few years ago

[@blackc1479]

@@jonyemm I'd I had to guess, the logic would be that convincing physical copies of the license would be harder to get/make. But, eh, these days I don't know which would be harder to spoof. Plus I would imagine people would have a collective stroke of the idea of the govt having their picture. Nevermind how many cameras we are on every single day.

[@jonyemm]

@blackc1479 that's the thing though, whatever info our paperwork has they already have. If they didn't they wouldn't be able to verify if it's legit or not. Their systems have way more info than most people realize. I get pulled over and the police know that I have a LTCF(concealed firearm permit) without me even telling them.

[@blackc1479]

@@jonyemm yeah, that was kind of my point. I believe you should always have your DL on ya on general principle. And if the info is that readily available it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

[@kcant65]

Seems like we need Florida Man as a funny distraction more and more each week. Thanks for the brief respite.

[@shlomster6256]

I want the tangent graphic to be LONGER than the tangent. Just once. Please?

[@stillinhere]

I’m so glad Simon couldn’t remember the melody of the Ironic song. I remain gleefully immune to singing it the rest of the night.

[@NikkiChat257]

Jagged Little pill is the best album to clean your house to!

[@trustyourforce4041]

3 or 4 speeding tickets a year?! I haven't had one in 20 years.

[@maddiethomas5892]

Yea! FMF! Let's go! Excellently written and presented, as always. Thanks!
