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

A good tabloid doesnt need context

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

Could be ai generated

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

It's time for the airing of grievances

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

can't be any stiffer with a bellend crammed upper

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Don’t be absurd!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year 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
