I think what I like about it, as with many Simpsons jokes, is more what it implies about how Homer thinks more than the image itself. Clearly he knows the phrase but has no idea what it means, so he’s just been saying it for years because other people say it, even when it obviously doesn’t apply.

I hadn’t even considered the possibility that the “I’m wearing a towel” joke wasn’t immediately obvious. Maybe I watched too many daytime movies when I was a kid, but didn’t women always say that when they took calls while wearing towels on their heads?

I just watched Christmas Land, which features actual multi-million dollar fraud as a cutesy Christmas plot point, and it was amazing!

I have to say, I don’t think I’d trust anybody’s impulse control enough for them to have their teeth near my junk when a grenade goes off. Except a police horse, maybe, but that’s a whole other thing.

Sadly this movie wasn’t made for Irish people, it was made for ‘Irish’-Americans for whom this is probably how they genuinely believe Ireland is.

You’re just describing Boomers, basically, who seem to be the same throughout the west. Luckily there have been two subsequent generations born in the UK who overwhelmingly voted against Brexit and have been huddled inside for a year while the people you describe have been having garden parties and complaining their…

Which is something that happens at least once in DS9. In Treachery, Faith and the Great River, Weyoun reveals where to shoot at a Jem’Hadar fighter to destroy it.

I'm from East Yorkshire, so the acts of union don't apply to me because they haven't trickled down to us yet. We're still dealing with the Norman Conquest.

Ask anyone in the UK what they call a bread roll. It’s an instant conversation starter/class determiner/political leaning identifier.

They're from the bizarre wasteland between London and Scotland called England.

Nobody who lives north of Leicester goes outside between October and March anyway, he's probably been hibernating.

Baked Attraction is where the contestants are stoned and have to give each other compliments.

It's certainly a very British style of presenting, like a live action Carry On film.

Well exactly. He doesn't talk about his parents until they're right there in front of everyone, while his sister is officially classified. That's two pretty solid reasons not to mention her.

There’s two kinds of spotted dick in Britain, the kind you have with custard and the kind you get on a lads’ weekend in Blackpool. Choose wisely.

That sounds like the old ‘dinner party in hell vs heaven’ story on steroids. Was the lesson that you had to combine your sticks to make a massive shovel, or something?

I believe the US version of the book changed car ‘boot’ to ‘trunk’ and ‘high street’ to something else, among others. Possibly to meet reading comprehension standards for kids, I guess, who might not be expected to translate!

I sort of get why they went through the books and replaced the other Britishisms. While part of the charm of reading is immersing yourself in other cultures, you don’t want it to get in the way of the narrative, especially pre-Google. But the title changes renders the whole thing nonsensical.

I’d just like to get my criticism in ahead of time for the next movie: The Sorcerer’s Stone is a dumb movie title. The original title, The Philosopher’s Stone, makes sense. It refers to a real life legendary alchemical tool that can transmute lead into gold and confer extended life. The sorcerer’s stone is nothing.…

It goes along nicely with the mother and father Spock had that nobody knew about, and then the brother he had that nobody knew about. It’s pretty canon that Spock doesn’t talk about his family until he absolutely has to.
