Do you reckon the queen could identify Mario? Like if you showed the queen a picture of Mario, would she be able to say “that’s Mario”. Genuinely quite torn on this. Apologies if it’s been covered in The Crown.

- Genuinely think this is one of the funniest jokes ever put to air.
- Friend in Hamburg just sent me this like he'd just papped a celebrity.
- You should be able to purchase a big swig of Sprite. 90% of the time that’s all the Sprite you need. 40 cents seems fair.
- A fun thing for an author to do would be to have the last line of the book be something like “he said, in his Jamaican accent, which he’d had this whole time.” Make the audiobook narrator have to start the whole thing over.
- Whenever something like this happens Twitter gets huge "there's a bird in the assembly hall" energy.
- It’s truly insane how I’ll still stay stuff to my five year old like “hang on mate, you’ve been saying you’re hungry all afternoon, and now you won’t eat your dinner” as if he’s going to turn around and go “that’s such a good point yeah. You’ve bested me with logic this time”
- I've been laughing at this for over a week now. Absolutely perfect.
- For years I thought there was a song in Guys and Dolls, the opening number in fact, that went “Guys and Dooooolls, we’re just a crazy bunch of guys and dooooolls (yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah!)”This brings up a delightful question: what joke in the Simpsons did you think was a real thing and only later realized was just a joke? Or vice versa?
- Trying to think of other actors who meet the John Goodman Criteria: Been in Bad Stuff, But Has Never Been Bad In Stuff. Brad Dourif is another.
- A friend of mine just described the central premise of all M Night Shyamalan's films as "what if an interesting situation happened" and he's bang on. Very few filmmakers working today are as fascinated by interesting situations unfolding as MNS.
