The Complete Return of Chronicles of Breadmix
(Some of the breadmix has been used. The remainders are being used to make bread rolls)
C - I used a third of the breadmix last time. How much water do I need?
D - (weighs the mix) You used half of it last time.
C - No. I used 250g of it.
D - It's a 500g bag. Half of 500 is 250.
C - So how much water do I need?
D - Half of the amount in the instructions.
C - But I don't like reading instructions.
D - I can tell.
(After mixing the dough together)
C - How do I mix this like bread?
D - You knead it.
C - How do I knead?
D - I thought I told you. How did you mix this bread up last time?
C - I just hit it a lot.
(D demonstrates kneading)
C - I can do this now.
(During the second kneading session)
C - How do I knead again?
(The dough is kneaded and rested)
C - D, how many bread rolls can this make?
D - See how many the instructions say, and half it.
C - I don't like instructions. It says 10 or 12. I don't know which.
D - So it can make 5 or 6 rolls.
C - How do you know that?
D - It's half of 10 and 12.
(The bread rolls have been left to rise for 40 minutes)
C - Now what?
D - Put them in the oven.
C - For how long?
D - Didn't we have this conversation last time? Read the instructions.
(The bread rolls were put in the oven and checked on every five minutes)
(The rolls are being stared at)
C - Do I need to turn them over?
D - No.
C - I'm going to turn them over.
D - You really don't need to.
C - Why not?
D - Do you turn over cakes?

This is not the name you are looking for
(We spent the previous few minutes trying to remember the name of an actor in an advert. D and M thought it was Luke, but C was convinced it was something different)
C - Look, his name is Luke!
M - That was our argument though.
C - Yeah, and? I was right.
C - Look, his name is Luke!
M - That was our argument though.
C - Yeah, and? I was right.

Now it's just a box
(Note - the company Virgin provide set top boxes which provides a television service)
C - We kept turning our Virgin box on and off. We tried plugging it into other TVs too. Then there was smoke, and it was on fire. It doesn't work any more.
D - I guess it is no longer a virgin box. That sounds like an STD.
C - (Laughs then stops) I don't get it.

Or a huge coincidence
(After seeing an advert for Ben and Jerry's ice cream, advertising 'core' ice creams, which come in varying flavours, including Karamel Sutra)
Karamel Sutra. That sounds like Karma Sutra. That sex thing. Is it supposed to?

(During an episode of Community, a student is shot with a tranquilliser dart by a teacher, Betty White, who is using a blow pipe.)

And prom queens aren't really promenades
(When watching an episode of Community)
C - Transqueen? What's that?
M - It's a joke. Instead of a prom queen, they are queens of the transfer dance. The dance for the students who are leaving to transfer to another school.
C - I get the joke. But why are they being called 'trannies'?
M - They aren't. It's a joke.
C - I get it. But she looks like a real woman.
