Due to climate change, weather is now universal

(When watching a national TV programme, being aired live from the other side of the country.)

C - No it's not!

That would be a totally different type of film

There is some logic (Angelina Jolie Part 2)


(After discovering that Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.)



C - Why did she have her boobs cut off?



D - To reduce her chance of having cancer.



C - Why doesn't everyone have their boobs cut off then?

I do believe in charity, I do, I do

(After watching an advert for the Race For Life, a charity run to raise money for breast cancer. The Race For Life is part of the charity Cancer Research.)



C - I don't believe in charity.



D - What if you get ill? And didn't you say cancer ran in your family?



C - Yeah, but if I get ill I can get treated at hospital.



D - Using treatments that are discovered by Cancer Research and other charities?



C - Well, duh.



D - That doesn't seem very logical.



C - I want their help. I don't need to pay for it.



M - Haven't you done the Race For Life?



C - Yeah. For fun.



D - Wait, what?

It's a tough choice

C - M, I need your help to choose an outfit for [formal occasion]. This one, I don't really like it much, or this one?

C - Yeah.



M - Why not just buy the one you like?



C - ...oh yeah.

It would stop you from getting lung cancer (Angelina Jolie Part 1)

(After discovering that Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.)



Can you get other parts removed to stop you getting cancer? If you, like, had a chance of getting lung cancer, could you have your lungs removed?

Damn their profit margin

(When finding a company to print 50 photographs.)



Yay, free printing! But they want £2 for postage. That's just trying to get more money from me.

That does sum them up

It's a depressing outlook

(When watching Catchphrase - a gameshow where contestants look at animations and guess at what the catchphrase or quote is that they represent.)



C - When one door opens, another one closes!



M - No, it's the other way round.



C - Why?



M - Because it's about new opportunities.



C - Yeah. And doors closing are good.

They don't rhyme in English, either

(During the introduction to an episode of FMA: Brotherhood, a Japanese anime series.)



C - Do you think this song rhymes in Japanese?



M - Well, listen to it and see if it rhymes.



C - But this is the English version. We don't know how it sounds in Japanese.



D - But it's the same theme music.



C - But it would sound different to the Japanese.



D - Well, yes, because they know what it translates into.



C - Exactly. It might rhyme in Japanese.



M - I've been listening. This one doesn't rhyme.



C - But it might in Japanese!

Well, he is getting on a bit now

(When looking at a Where's Wally? picture - a large, complex image where you look for certain people and items. Note: In the UK "Where's Waldo?" is called "Where's Wally?")



Wally has a cane? How long has he been crippled for? When I was little he could walk.

Quote from a different flatmate

(An appeal advert comes on - no one is fully paying attention to it)



TV - Amena would ask you to save her life. But she can't.



D - Because she's dead.



M - Dude, that's harsh.



D - Huh? (Looks up). I thought it was an advert about donkeys. My bad.

That's speciesist

(When watching You've Been Framed - someone is poking a live scallop to make it snap shut)



C - Is that real?



D - Yes.



C - It's a living thing, right? How can a rock be alive?

It's funny because there were like, words in a structured way

D - (reading) "I'm pretty sure Community is one of the first sitcoms to pull off a complete twenty minute 8-bit episode. Then again, they're most likely the only sitcom to actually do this". M, can you think of any other series that have ever done that?



M - An episode in eight sections?



D - No, as in the old computer game style.



C - (Laughs until she weeps) I don't know what that means, but it sounded funny.
