[Scene is a domestic kitchen. Night time. The room is all blue apart from warm orange-pink light streaming in from a streetlight outside. In the center of the room stands a woman named BRANDI, standing in pyjamas looking contemplative, the light cast dramatically on her face. At the doorway, leaning against the frame, her partner JOEL stands has woken up and found her in the kitchen.] JOEL: Honey… what are you doing? BRANDI: Can’t sleep Guess I just like standing in the kitchen at 3am thinking about the supernatural threat we temporarily defeated last year. While saying that out loud in a manner which sounds casually ironic but is actually just blatant exposition. JOEL: Brandi… you're talking strange... BRANDI: Dammit Joel. It’s time you knew. You're a Netflix character. [Joel looks shocked] BRANDI: Everybody you know has been forced to speak to you in second screen dialogue. Second screen dialogue helps the people scrolling their phones in front of the TV to follow the - JOEL: Stop explaining, Brandi! [Hands on head, emotional expression, warm pink light cast on his face against the cool blue darkness of the room]. JOEL: So that's why my entire life has looked so glossy and... BRANDI: Yep... Warm/cool colour graded. [Cut to a TV show TITLE SCREEN]: SECOND SCREEN - A Netflix original - [Ends]

It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.

Although its unclear which Michael B. Jordan role for Sinners is nominated…

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I LOVE that soundtrack (and wish I'd had the chance to see Daft Punk play live). Sky use it for their F1 intro as well.

Happy #Industry day.

Just finished my rewatch of #Industry series 3 and that ending is still so brutal.

The MTV music channels are no more. I used to come home from school and do my homework infront of MTV, The Box and all the other channels (often judging a song by its video), peppered by ads for ringtones... #RIPMTV 😭

Happy #Festivus to those who celebrate it!

An expensive way of making sure Friends doesn't leave Netflix again...

Cloudflare just had another major outage, taking down Fortnite, LinkedIn, Coinbase, and even Downdetector. "A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results," says Cloudflare. This is the second major Cloudflare outage in a matter of weeks 😬

A screenshot from The Simpsons showing that Duff, Duff Lite, and Duff Dry all come from the same pipe, a joke indicating that they're the same thing. In the original Disney+ version of this episode, the top of the frame was cut off, ruining the joke, which is the reverse of what happened with the HBO Max Mad Men thing.

This is such a mess. The HBO Max "remastered" version of The Simpsons reveals that Duff, Duff Lite, and Duff Dry all come from the same pipe. 🙄

I can't believe how commercialised Black Friday got.

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.
