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

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 years ago

A good tabloid doesnt need context

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

good tabloid

Oxymoron

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Could be ai generated

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's time for the airing of grievances

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

It's a Festivus miracle!

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

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

it's super liminal advertising.

they are telling you to relax, now.

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

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

[-] riskable@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago

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

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

can't be any stiffer with a bellend crammed upper

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Who's tongue and who's cheek?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Don’t be absurd!

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years 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.

Television still exists? 🤯

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years 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
