🇺🇸 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. He wanted us to answer with “Ahoy-hoy!”
Thomas Edison said “Hello!” instead. Hello won.
But, Bell kept saying Ahoy-hoy anyway for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, Mr. Burns from The Simpsons has been repping Ahoy-hoy this whole time. 😂
George Lazenby's "That never happened to the other fella" line is much discussed example of ambiguously breaking the 4th wall.
A more underrated example is the part in Fellowship of the Ring where Sean Bean says, "It's still sharp(e)."
JD Vance tells Bill Maher the United States has “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear program.
Maher immediately pushes back and says: Hold on. “Their program isn’t destroyed.”
By the time Vance finishes answering, Maher backs off entirely.
He’s really good at this.
Look, man…
The WNBA is literally bringing all of this onto themselves. It’s been ridiculous since she got into the league & it gets worse by the game. The way that Caitlin Clark is officiated is absolutely insane. Truly, pure insanity.
In what world is this not a foul? Lmao
Unfortunately true for many children’s books published today as well. At my library we refer to these books as “children’s books that were written as therapy for the person writing the book”
