What are you watching?

Umm - yes - may have read that somewhere - and some of those rats have become seriously addicted to whizzing around Germany's roads (though massively incompetent in the safe whizzing department - almost as incompetent as the generic US GI back in pre-Iron-Curtain-demise period …)
 
I looked for a copy of this for years, finally finding the VHS for $15 at Tower Records. Ten years later, a DVD was to be had at Walmart for a dollar. Now it's free on youtube. Technology for you.


Poor Bela. His next was another step down toward oblivion -- and infamy: Ed Wood, Jr.

I was going to post this in the 'Listening' thread but it's more a 'Watch' of the latest incantation of Fleetwood Mac...

 
Ahh, cats have been doing that for ages:

*GROAN* not another kitty video! 🤢

I must have revenge, so I'll write a dog joke here (from memory). (with a slight, though twisted JRRT connection).

A man in a movie theater finds himself sitting one row back from another man - and his dog, sitting in the seat next to his owner.
This pooch shows reactions (growling, wagging the tail, whining, barking, putting front paws over his eyes) that match the action of the film perfectly.
After the movie has ended and the lights have come back up, the man addresses the dog owner:

"Sir, that was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Your dog seemed to understand what was happening on the screen perfectly - and he seems to have enjoyed it!"
"Yes he did", replied the dog owner, with a puzzled look on his face, "and I am a bit surprised."



"He hated the book …"
 
Wait -- is this the "Watching" or the "Animal Jokes" thread?
Oh,well:

Three cats entered a swim meet.
English: the one two three cat.
German: the eins zwei drei cat.
French: the un deux trois cat.

One two three cat was first.
Eins zwei drei cat was second.

Malheurusement, the un deux trois quatre cinq. ( )

OK -- back on topic. Call me biased, but this is the way to make a phone ad:


(IMHO! )

Q: Did they just do four and a half minutes in one continuous take?!

a-HEM! I'll provide a different punch line.
Had I been the bartender, and the dog would have answered "Joe DiMaggio" to that question, then I would have thrown him out of the bar!
With all due respect for Joltin' Joe the Yankee Clipper - especially that unbelievable 56-game hitting streak, Babe Ruth is in a class all of his own (I believe even Ty Cobb, his closest rival, the man with the galactic .366 lifetime (!!!) batting average, once admitted this). I mean, with the Boston Red Sox from 1914 to 1919, he was a world-class pitcher. Ruth twice won 23 games in a season as a pitcher and was a member of three World Series championship teams with the Red Sox. His lifetime totals as a pitcher were a 94-46 won-loss record and an ERA of 2.28 (both really good numbers, for non-baseball-nerds). Finally used only sparingly as a pitcher, and mostly early in the 1919 season, and allowed to play many more games (defensively as a fielder), Ruth promptly broke the major league home run record, with 29. Traded to the NY Yankees for the 1920 season, he proceeded to demolish his own HR record by smashing 54 that season. And when he finished his career, the offensive record books looked like confetti ...

(In case you haven't noticed - mentioning baseball in my presence is a very bad idea … )

I'm thinking their preferred line of advertising should be for hair-"care" products. Only one dark-haired as is the overwhelming norm in east Asia, two blondes, and Hwasa nearly with an Irish coloring - just a tad off the "true" Irish red-orange spectrum.
 
You're not taking changing hair color into account -- who do you think that is in the second ad?
S-eS, ol' man, I have very much noticed the "high variability" of the hair color of all of Mamamoo's members! Actually, with your extensive posting, it it practically impossible not to!
But the second ad is for LG (as in Lucky Goldstar - or perhaps LuckyGoldstar) TVs; I had not heard (read) that LG was also in the hair-care business … 🤨
