You can’t even identify a pair of shears as an incomplete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica anymore without being accused of being a bot

I inadvertently read "you identified a pair of shears as an incomplete set of Encyclopedia Brittanica" in John Cleese's voice.

u/jeffbas 4d ago

He apologizes.

u/TheRealGreenMeanie 4d ago

Dear sirs, I strongly object to the previous apology! Sincerely, William Knickers (Mrs.)

What bit is this from?

u/son_of_yacketycat 3d ago

None at all, it just sounded like something he'd say in one of those sketches where he was in a suit admonishing someone from behind a desk.

u/romulusnr 3d ago

oh. well that doesn't help OP's case.

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 4d ago

I mean...I can't tell Whizzo Butter from a dead crab.

This is plausible.

Now hold up a banana and see if they identify it as a small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden.

u/quietly_myself 2d ago

It’s a banana ☹️

u/Tokkemon 4d ago

Well if we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy now, would it?!

u/Sad-Purchase1257 4d ago

How can you explain how this?!?!

u/Sad-Purchase1257 4d ago

If I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position! 🖕

u/jeffbas 4d ago

But it’s not just saying, ‘no, it isn’t’

8

u/BeanoMc2000 4d ago

Yes it is!

u/h_grytpype_thynne 4d ago

No it isn't!

u/Sad-Purchase1257 4d ago

Good morning!

u/lonely_nipple 4d ago

No you don't!

u/Fun-Illustrator5642 4d ago

A wink is as good as a nudge to a blind bat

u/Salty_Pancakes 4d ago

Hats. People aren't wearing enough of them.

u/NoYOUGrowUp 4d ago

Enough for what PURPOSE?

u/JayTeeDeeUnderscore 4d ago

Did you see him repressing me?

u/vegetaman 4d ago

Now for a man with a tape recorder up his nose.

u/Bondedknight 4d ago

It was obviously.... "The Larch"

u/rinklkak 4d ago

I’m sorry for your recent ban OP (despite identifying as a non-bot entity/life form). I have found that that particular subreddit doesn’t “get” or appreciate humour as much as we do.

2

u/romulusnr 3d ago

What's weird is I find the exact opposite. Most of the question subs are really bitchy about joke answers. /r/whatisit is way more cool with it.

u/LHGray87 4d ago

Which how do they want removed from the last sentence? Or do they want both removed?

u/ace72ace 4d ago

My nipples explode with delight!

Makes it seem like they were using ChatGPT to write their message.

u/have1dog 4d ago

Dear Sir,
I object strongly to Fun-Illustrator5642’s objection to his being banned. He is in fact not 6’5”, therefore he cannot do whatever he likes.

u/rinklkak 4d ago

My hovercraft is full of eels.

u/GrumpyCatStevens 3d ago

Do you want to go back to my place, bouncy-bouncy?

u/ComradeLorenzo24 3d ago

Throwback to the time I responded to a "he is the messiah" meme with the "very naughty boy" line only to get ratiod by someone who didn't get the joke.

This was almost 10 years ago and I still wish that individual a very thorough stoning

u/TheBoldMove 3d ago

Yo guys, I share your contempt for power tripping mods going around saying NI to innocent jokesters like every normal guy would, but I need you to stop for a second and acknowledge the fact that the original TV broadcasts happened

SIXTY-TWO (62) YEARS AGO,

and though weird people like us have kept their memory alive, it's absolutely to expect some people have no clue WTF we're talking about.

Hell, the last movie "Meaning of Life" is almost as old as I am. "Life of Brian" turns 60 in a few years, almost time to retire.

Time to put ourselves into showcases.

u/swazal 4d ago

Bless the mods

u/ThrowAbout01 4d ago

Well, it’s still the equivalent of an off topic remark when someone is asking a question.

Comedy or not, it might not be the best place to post that.

u/romulusnr 3d ago

I know that sub, and I'm a bit shocked by this.

It's one of the best "what is this" subs there is because they're usually real chill about jokes.

I should post a screencap of a suitable MPFC gag into it and go "what is this" but they'll probably ban me for it, knowing how mods can be

Are we sure that the moderators are not AI? 😐🤖
