And Amanda gam Nation. I saw this great thread where
people are talking about those movie tropes, particularly American films.
We look at and go yeah, right, but we're so
used to seeing it you need someone to remind you
how stupid it is. For example, Hello, I'm a person
driving a car in a film. I rarely look at
the road when I drive because it's more important I
face the person in the passenger seat, and weirdly, no
(00:22):
one thinks it's dangerous. Hello, I'm a mom of this.
This is a big one. I'm a mom making a
breakfast in a film. I serve fresh pastries, fruit salad,
bacon rashes on a tableclothed table, and juice and a jug.
My children never eat it, though, They grab a bagel
and walk out the door because they're always about.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
To miss the school.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
That's always. No one cleans their teeth after having breakfast.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hello, I don't do that. I clean my teeth in
the morning. That's what I mean when I get up
a clean my tea.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But then you head straight in here. But if you
were at home on a weekend, and.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
On the weekend, I get out straight away, do you.
Because a hart guy said to me, if you want
to leave to look after your heart. Clean your teeth
first thing in the morning. We enjoy anything if you
eat something.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
What if you eat rashes of bacon and stuff like that,
you'd head out the door without clean your teeth.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
If I was if my wife got up and cooked
me some sort of breakfast there, Yes, but.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
You'll always be late for the bus. What about this one? Hello,
I'm a woman giving birth in a film. It takes
seven minutes, a pace about a bit, lie down on
my bed, get abruptly sweaty, I yell, and then there's
a baby that's clean and larger than you'd expect. Hello,
I'm a person talking on a phone in a film.
I never say goodbye when I hang up, and weirdly,
no one else seems to think that's rude. I'm a
(01:34):
person in a movie who goes into a bar and
orders a beer, and the bartender immediately serves me when
without asking what type of beer I'd like.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That's so true that just give me a beer and
then just boom tank it a freight down.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Hello. I'm a teacher in a film, and the bell
always rings just as I'm summing up the lesson. So
I just shout that I want your test papers on
my desk.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Both those papers at you on Monday. Don't slack off people.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm a person in a film or a TV drama,
and when I arrange to meet someone later, I've no
need to as if I had time or place.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I can't. I'll see you then. I know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I can't always make the point Brendan that no one
ever does deals on the phone. They're always at a
strip club or if someone's packages taking big chunks of
meat out, they don't stop to talk to the police.
They keep it going with their job.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
True, if the cops came up to me into my
work and we're questioning me.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
About something, you pay attention.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I would instantly say, let's go to the strip.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So I've got to keep servicing this car.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But they do. They go and do every the other
job other than paying attention to what's happening in the thing.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Hello, I'm a bad guy in a film, and when
I put a USB stick in anything, I get it
right way around first time every time. Who else does
that ever happen to? No one?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know, I could never be blow filled, just Bond,
I expect you to help me with jam I can't
clear these files.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
How about this one. We'll finish with this. Hello, I'm
a woman in a film who has just had insanely
hot sex. My bra is still on. What's that about.
It's to be the old days where there'd be like
an L shaped sheet that would cover his from his
waist down but up under your arm. But now women
in American films have sex with bras on. It's a
(03:07):
big playtex. That's who I blame.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Cross your heart, a big plaateex conspiracy
