My favourite local deli/butcher still puts out signs like:

‘Fresh’ Salami
‘Lamb’ Cutlets
Wow! ‘Steak’ Wow!

Whereas spelling de rigueur as de rigeur has been de rigueur for years.

On the internet in 2021 you can avoid these problems by simply starting every comment with:

THE FOLLOWING IS INTENDED TO BE SARCASTIC OR POSSIBLY IRONIC.

It actually makes jokes much funnier! (Don’t use the outdated “/s” that’s like chum to these sharks, they’ll strip you to the bone...)

“To me! Gandolfini!”

“GANDOLFINI!”

Shit. Now we have to have a duel and I’m all out of pistolas.

Suicide is SO funny you guys.

I was a forced Scout in my youth and was likewise forced to attend a Jamboree. After a few days we dragged That One Kid in our Six down to the showers and threw him in with all his clothes. He had a ring around his head from where the Scout hat sat. Fucking gross.

I found Dana’s refrigerator to be the most disturbing, since it was such a mundane object that you don’t expect to contain a gateway to the astral plane or whatever.

“This facility has a considerable dollar value...” was a pretty good joke, given the situation when he said it. Though I can’t remember if he was standing up, or was slammed against a bulkhead with Hicks’ shotgun up his nose...

Mugatu was funny in Zoolander, but he’s not an ideal example because he was totally ruined in Zoolander 2.

It’s super weird the way it makes the Space Force an actual, effective, well-equipped, seemingly well-funded branch, with successful rocket launches, moon bases, helicopter pilots effortlessly transitioning to lead astronaut colonels (or whatever her rank ended up being)...

My enduring memory of Early Murphy isn’t his tight leather pants in Raw, it’s his white hightops flashing in the sunlight as he (or at least his stunt double) swings on a chain in the open back of a truck at high speed while packs of illegal cigarettes fly out onto the road behind him...

I will fight anyone who says that Stranger Than Fiction is anything less than a beautiful little movie about love and existential angst.

Who stacks rocks IN a stream?

Quite north of Sydney indeed, yes. Specifically, 1504 miles north of Sydney.

You probably can’t culturally appropriate a cairn, but you can culturally appropriate an inuksuk.

As it turns out, our Dawn isn’t just a random genetic errata, but the product of a long-in-the-works guerrilla movement to taint the bloodline and incept the idea into the imperfect Dawn’s head that he chose to escape with the help of the random palace gardener he happened to fall in love with in order to be captured…

I spent quite a bit of the first episode super confused, because it seemed like the SHOW was confused about whether Peter was Peter II or Peter III. Not helped by calling Peter the Great his father rather than his grandfather (he’s actually grandfather to both the other Peters which doesn’t help either...)

Yeah this shit ain’t exactly Oscar Wilde.

I’m convinced these videos exist in only two broad categories: Straight-up staged, and prank cinema vérité.
