The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin. I knew when I first saw the trailer of this vaguely historical comedy series with Noel Fielding in the title role that me and my daughter would love it. And indeed we did, laughed wholeheartedly at the silliness of it all, and the many dick jokes brought on by the lead character's first name. It's nowhere near on par with Blackadder, but it's clearly in the same vein. The series reinvents Dick Turpin (one of the most notorious and ruthless highwaymen in English history) as a shallow but good-hearted man ticking all the boxes of modern deconstruction (vegetarian, gender-fluid, etc.) who falls into highway robbery by accident and likes the fame that comes with it. It's a laugh, although I doubt I'll be watching it again (unlike Blackadder). #tvseries#comedy#history#noelfielding
On today’s #GreatestTrek, Burnham and Moll teleport onto a set leftover from Apple TV’s Foundation, and engage in a little Mortal Kombat to determine the future of the Federation, and life itself.
I started rereading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy on a whim a few days ago. I’ve read it many times, but for some reason this reread is particularly enjoyable.
#art#history: she was my britney spears - &, in spite of her sneers, her arrests for obscenity & her nipple-taped bravado, wendy o williams (born #otd in 1949) was a remarkably sensitive, intelligent & brave individual. once she'd had enough of the plasmatics theatrics, long-term #vegetarian, wendy, made haste to connecticut to work in animal rescue & rehab. that's also where, in 1998, she left us: on her own terms, world-weary, with dignity. #wendyOWilliams#plasmatics#illustration#punk#sXe
Add a dose of humor to your space with this digitally painted photograph of two guys goofing around at an improv event. It was a blast to photograph and even more fun to paint digitally. Ideal wall art for home, office, hotel, and hospitality interiors.
Rambling around YT for late-breaking news, YT's algorithm knows I like #comedy, so it shows me a guy named Don McMillan (new to me), a very funny #comic who uses #Powerpoint (I know right?) to get laughs.
He gets laughs!
Probably most appreciated by "Nerds, Geeks, or Dorks" or some combination thereof, like 'engineers', or something (he explains the differences with excellent charts & graphs). https://youtu.be/kwz-Md6OoyA
