Did anything change after they became a big YouTube sponsor?

Mobius: Knock Knock

Brad: Who’s there?

Mobius: Brad

Brad: Brad who?

Mobius: That’s show business

This is a bit of an old joke but the humour comes from two layers.

The first layer comes from the last two lines. Brad is a famous actor, so probably a household name. So the expectation is that nobody would ask who he was in the same way nobody would ask “Beyonce who?” But Hollywood is fickle and stars today can easily become forgotten tomorrow. Pretending not to know a celebrity is an insult that is associated with this nature of Hollywood. Hence the “That’s show business line” where the jokester acts like they’re reluctantly agreeing that the celebrity isn’t famous anymore. This is extra hurtful since the famous person is the one tricked into saying “…(their own name) who?”

The second layer comes from the expectation of the structure of a regular knock knock joke. Since this joke doesn’t follow that structure, it breaks expectations and creates humour.

Mainly it’s the first part though.

It worked for me. I’m using Boost for Lemmy as my client.

+1 for Pocket Casts. I’ve only ever had problems with Pocket Cast in the last few weeks. Luckily they released an update a few days ago that fixed the issues.

Episode 6 Return of the Jedi

It’s a deleted scene that had Jabba the Hutt preparing himself for Leia by slathering butter all over himself

Welcome! If you need to charge your phones, note that this house has Yokohama wiring, but we have Nagoya and Shikoku adapters available.

You can leave at any time through the door over there. It’s a shoji door, so you’ll need to find a compatible knob. No, don’t be silly, that one is a fusuma knob! Of course it won’t fit.

Knowing what the different States are and different cities (for the title text) is pretty important. As someone who is from outside the United States, I wouldn’t’ve been surprised if “Pennsylvania Wiring” was really a standard of wiring.

It’s funny how the astronaut is leaning around it

Trailer for a trailer is a pattern that started a few years ago. It’s annoying and I hate it. The worst is when they put those 5 second clips at the beginning of YouTube trailers announcing a trailer is coming up.

Thanks for sharing what you have. I didn’t even know there were current Star Trek comic runs until I saw your posts.

This would’ve been a great surprise if they didn’t reveal it so early

Wow . Strong Mucha vibes

It’s mostly episodic like the original series and 90s Trek but it has some season long story arcs. But it’s modern in its style of telling. It’s funny without resorting to being MCU quippy. And the science is closer to modern science fiction rather than TOS’ parallel worlds pattern.

That said, it has a mix of action and moral dilemma and politics. There are “needs of the many” stories that don’t have clear right or wrong, the psychological impact from the horrors of war stories, even a courtroom episode that rivaled the best ones from TOS and TNG. But there are also flashy fan servicey episodes that are just fun.

I suggest giving the first episode a go. It sets the mood for the rest of the first two seasons. Each episode brings something different, but I think the first episode really speaks to what the series is trying to be.

The absolute mess of a production 2022’s Star Trek Day makes me both want to watch this and skip it. The only redeeming things were the hosts but it was obvious that they were even making things up on the spot.

And what’s the premiere date if you do want to watch the trailer?

It’s the same on Threads. Half the posts are about Twitter and it’s exhausting.

These are quite funny. Thank you

I guess I was lucky to have first experienced the Gorn in Enterprise. They were treated as scary and dangerous in a way TOS would never have been able to.

Everyone forgot who Peter Parker is. They all still remember Spider-man.
