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

[–] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 30 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

A good tabloid doesnt need context

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

good tabloid

Oxymoron

[–] fakeman_pretendname 4 points 3 weeks 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?

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

can't be any stiffer with a bellend crammed upper

[–] Emperor 2 points 3 weeks ago

Who's tongue and who's cheek?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Don’t be absurd!

[–] Emperor 4 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] kabi@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

I only take my Grom-com after Outnumbered, thank you very much. We got through the crazy oughts with their Wallace and Gromit before Outnumbered and Gavin and Stacy, we can not possibly go back.

Television still exists? 🤯

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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
