“I don’t think we need a sequel.” Lololol

[@dehro]

that could have been "Ed Burns becomes The Sulk"

[@gracewenzel]

I would watch the adventures of Reasonably Good Chap.

[@buttonsfan]

Especially if he was another Kryptonian

[@kylestubbs8867]

Just show him being a Good Samaritan. It would stand out just as much in today’s society.

[@LokkerG]

@@buttonsfan Given there's versions of Superman raised by Mexican immigrants or by soviets in Russia, I could believe of a Kryptonian raised in England.

[@buttonsfan]

@@LokkerG considering those two were pretty murderous an English (and Canadian) version that are very pleasant and barely use their powers if at all would be a fun twist. “Hey you should leave that young woman alone.” “Look at Mr. good Samaritan boys.” “Actually it’s Reasonably Good Chap.” “Let’s get ‘em fellas!” Ten minutes later, the woman has run off, and the gang members are exhausted from attacking him as he stands there not doing anything.

[@jamesboyle6134]

@LokkerG Their actually is a graphic novel of an English version of Superman. It was written by John Cleese and it's called "Superman: True Brit". It wasn't very well received, however.

[@philipberthiaume2314]

Actually, Superman is Canadian. Metropolis is set in Toronto. Fascinating background to that story.

[@mathesonkamin6067]

Nope!!!!!!!! According to BOTH creators, Metropolis was, for all intents and purposes, CLEVELAND!!!!!! NOT a joke!!!!!

[@philipberthiaume2314]

@@mathesonkamin6067 nope!!!!!! , the daily Star and metropolis were both based on the Toronto daily Star later renamed and the city of Toronto where Joe Shuster grew up. Perry white was based on the Toronto Star editor of the early 1900's. Cleveland was not even a metropolis in the 1930's... No joke.

[@doornik1142]

You're all wrong. Metropolis is canonically located in Delaware.

[@mathesonkamin6067]

[@ollytubb6864]

Doesn't Ed Byrne know that X-men and Iron man and both from Marvel

[@buttonsfan]

Yes but maybe he didn’t hear that Fox was absorbed by Disney.

[@khymaaren]

In the movies, which most people know superheroes from, they are separate franchises. Have been so far, anyway. The average movie-goer doesn't know or care about any of the behind the scenes stuff.

[@khymaaren]

The first few were so cringe inducing, I almost checked out.

[@biggusdickkus2956]

Whaaaaaaaaattt they were so bad you nearly DIED !! Come come they weren't that bad, 😂😋

[@khymaaren]

@@biggusdickkus2956 Check out, as in leave. And yes, they were that bad. That's opinions for you.

[@ml2581]

Ed Byrne has such a bad dictation, that it is really hard to understand him. I am not talking about the accent.

[@aaronleverton4221]

That's okay, we won't talk about your poor grammar and incorrect word choice.

[@aaronleverton4221]

@Jon Hesson I referred to neither spelling nor punctuation. In future I suggest you read very carefully before lecturing.

[@aaronleverton4221]

@Jon Hesson You very obviously implied it by bringing it up in a comment addressed specifically to me. So, my interpretation was entirely logical. And no, "incorrect word choice" is not redundant when following "poor grammar" if the two separate items being noted are distinct from each other. As they are in the comment I was originally replying to. Once again, read more carefully before lecturing.

[@aaronleverton4221]

@Jon Hesson If the conclusion drawn is logical, but incorrect, then the original statement made is too poorly constructed to carry its correct meaning clearly. That's on you, not me.

[@aaronleverton4221]

@Jon Hesson You weren't contributing, you were correcting. So, I'll just go back to my point about your poor construction. You adressed your point directly at me without "I would add that..." ergo it came off and comes off to the average reader as correction, not contribution. As stated in my reply, your contribution completely missed the exact points I was making about the OP's comment. Also, tantrum, yeah, accusations from the guy whose back is exactly as far up as mine. Also, "deep-seated". Tell you what, as I carried my father's coffin in 2005 I'll let you call yours and ask him where you went wrong.

[@taffbats]

Too woke

[@jibbybeast3330]

Quite enjoy the whole bit of Ed Byrne and Dara throwing it back to the time where Ed was "Invisible"

[@mathesonkamin6067]

"Am...Am I Invisible in This Jacket?!" Absolutely one of my favorite responses from the show!!

[@iowa89357]

Love It when no one let's Ed Byrne get in, and then he throws a hissy fit. And when he does finally get in, Dara buzzes him immediately

[@myrixica4222]

It's one of mock the weeks best running gags, up there with the megabus man.

[@robertofontiglia4148]

What is especially cool in this bit, is that when Ed finally gets back to the mic to do a joke, and the pressure is on, he actually delivers a good joke!

[@cardwitch91]

It's one of my favourite running gags along with Dara the Megabus Man and Monsoon Poultry Hospital.

[@bikeny]

GMTA!

[@EthanKristopherHartley]

I think that Sarah Keyworth's saunter to the mic as Ed was being Ed is a really underrated bit of physical comedy. 😁

No no no, that’s not the Fantastic Four, these are the Fantastic Four, joe biden, tom brady, lin manuel miranda, and justin bieber. Those aren’t the Fantastic Four. Yes they are the Fantastic Four becuase they’re fantastic at what they do and you have to accept that.

@@Acceleronics Nevermind spelling it, I didn't even understand it. And I just checked, it seems the folks doing the CC work knew about it to spell it correctly. Thank you all. There are a few folks who have YT channels covering things being different between the USA and England. Seems I should let them know about this word. Thanks again.

[@wayne20uk]

Wrong, its infact another word for large penis

[@nbartlett6538]

It's interesting that in Britain we stole a French word (courgette) and in America they stole an Italian word (zucchini).

[@TrippyFox]

@@nbartlett6538 It's the same with "rocket" British and French) and "arugula" (American and Itallian). Having a very close border France, it makes sense that these foods were introduced to the English through the French.
