[@Nulono]

Swallows and Amazons? What?

[@kjamison5951]

Netflix operates a streaming service as does Amazon. ‘Chill’ refers to engaging in intimate sexual activity and swallows refers to oral sex. However… ‘Swallows and Amazons’ was a 1930 novel by Arthur Ransome about two groups of children who met on holiday. It became a 1974 movie and a later remake in 2016.

And at the end of that round the points goto whoever I f’ing want to give them too because I am Dara O’Brien and I am in charge and decide the winner even if I have given them less points through out the show than the other side...

[@CricketEngland]

@@muisverriet no one said I was but that’s how Dara does it.... watch an episode in full and you will see on some shows he has give move point to one side through out the show but then announced the winners to be the other team.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@CricketEngland I'm pretty sure they film both teams being announced "the winner" and use whichever they feel like in editing.

[@franticranter]

@@CricketEngland that's because the show isn't for points. the points are part of a format that they create competitiveness and create a facade of originality in the show. the format isn't the focus point of the show, the comedy is, and so he just does whatever he wants within the format to prop up that facade

[@MultiMolly21]

Like a Pudding, Society finally sets up, nothing can move, this state, the flowering, the Final Act; is followed by rot and confusion, dissolution and grievance. When it was still boiling, getting another ingredient or two, being stirred, scraped, cooled. The banquet lasts depending on the size of the pot. But when it's finished, it's over.

[@flemmingpedersen567]

As far as I know, they film him giving points to both teams, and the editor gets to decide which is used - the dumbest thing I have seen, is an episode where team A got all the points and team B won the show.

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

The ghostbusters joke was gaslighting straight from the studio's pr company. People had three main problems with the movie. It shit on the original cast, it wasn't funny, and they advertised with misandry.

[@CantStayAway]

My All-Time Favourite "Unlikely Lines to Hear in a Children's Book" moment is definitely when Chris Addison turns "The Gruffalo" into "Stringfellow" XDXDXD

[@dinogoldie9716]

Bear in mind, this is the best bit of MTW. They film nearly three hours of content for each episode and this is the stuff that makes the cut.

[@EvilBlakey]

So? That's how media works. Bad songs cut from albums don't make the remaining songs any worse, and bad bits cut from MTW don't make the funny bits any less funny.

[@jamierobertson9832]

kinda proves that its unscripted then

[@helenHTID]

@@jamierobertson9832 Correct. It's more like an on the spot rehearsal and partly prepped. They get told the subjects before the show rolls, Then come up with a whole bunch of stuff for filming.. A mix of ideas they thought of before hand and stuff they come with on the day, And then the producers take all the bit they want and make the TV show. But the live audience get to see the whole thing unfold in front of them which could be several hours.. It's definitely a day out for them each time.

Do you like green eggs and ham? I do not like them Sam I Am, I do not like green eggs and ham. I just don’t think you should’ve made this dish at all, it’s disastrous. The yolks are green and not yellow, and the ham is green and not cooked to a medium rare. Plus the eggs are still undercooked I can hear them cluck, the ham is raw I can still hear it oink. So I’m not scoring this dish at all

[@mjhauptfleisch614]

Don't get me wrong, I am all for free speech, but is it really necessary to make fun of people who cannot defend themselves?, who are not well placed in society?, who are poor? This Canadian program really shocked me, and its effort to hide behind satire is pathetic. Rather give me old-fashioned British humor, which never make fun of weak people. (Big Bang Comedy will never see me again!)

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Nobody is above being made fun of. Every good joke has a victim. And actually, most jokes are making fun of ideas which the performer thinks is bad. Not to promote ideas they believe in. In fact, every joke I've ever died laughing at has been -ist or -phobic. Does that mean that I believe in those ideas? Not at all. A joke is a joke. And I'm sick of every joke being obligated to be socially conscious or pushing a political agenda. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
