Even the name, right down to the camelcase.

I disagree. “This is roughly a million times better” would have worked. You could have got away with that.

If Stuart Sutcliffe can fool so many people for so long, there’s no reason Elvis couldn’t do the same.

You’re the one scientist in the world who knows how to make the vaccine for a virulent zombie plague?

I wonder if it’s deliberate. Is there footage of her from before Theranos? Famously Margaret Thatcher was coached into lowering her voice so that she sounded more masculine, which was important in the 1980s because women had only recently been invented.

It’s fantastic - it’ll be all over the internet in no time. It’ll be used in adverts. It’s like the “stop!” girl gif but more sustained.

This is the best thing I have seen so far today.

I wonder what happens to the passengers if the pilot and co-pilot eject? Are they frazzled?

Hey, what a coincidence! 1N4AA5AP4BC866818 is my Facebook password. What are the odds of that?

Now, that was good. That was good.

But Madonna was in the first half of the film. Madonna’s theme song was right near the beginning. Your theory is shaky.

I saw Die Another Day at the cinema, and I remember that even at the beginning it just failed to “click” - the hovercraft chase was just boring. The moment that killed it was the invisible Aston Martin. The film are supposed to take place in a cartoonish version of our world, but that was just plain old magic.

That was the extended TV version - they threw in a bunch of extra footage for the TV version. There’s a shot of it in one of the “making-of” documentaries on the Director’s Cut DVD that came out a few years ago. I imagine that on a crappy early-80s TV it might have been unnoticeable (the scaffolding is very dim), or

I’m out of touch, but I’ve always assumed that Metropolis and Gotham were the same place. They’re both New York, aren’t they?

There was a short wave of Laserdisc games in the early 1980s that had a similar concept - I remember one used some of the flying-through-clouds footage from Firefox. And of course there was Dragon’s Lair, which was naff but the princess was sexy.

That one sketch had a bigger budget that all of Dr Who in the 1980s.

The Harrier is quite high up the list as well.

“Leaving only charcoal to defend”

Imagine if he had been Brian Adcock.

But it’s a joke, isn’t it? Of course the drivers are Chinese, this happened in China. The joke is that it sounds racist on the surface, but in reality it’s just an absurdly literal observation. It subverts our expectations, and that’s the essence of comedy.
