Princes William and Harry react to video footage of their family that they have never seen before, where a young Queen Elizabeth, together with Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Princess Anne play in the garden of Balmoral. The two Princes discover their hobbies run in the family.
I’m rereading prisoner of azkaban and fully appreciating how wild it is that of all the people ron could have made friends with, it’s the guy whose parents were murdered by his pet rat.
I know I talk about Bob’s Burgers a lot but one of the newest episodes was so sweet. It starts with Bob realizing that there’s going to be a laser-light-rock-show and remembering how much he loved going to them as a kid:
Since it’s Bob’s birthday, Gene agrees to go with him:
But, like many children, he becomes overwhelmed by the loud noises and flashing lasers. (And listen, I usually hate it when people label characters as ‘autistic’ and act like a show gave them representation when it didn’t…but Bob’s Burgers really does have so many characters who would be labeled in real life, Gene being one of them, and this just adds to it because it’s the perfect depiction of someone being overstimulated):
He eventually breaks down sobbing, screaming that he wants to go:
Bob immediately takes him into the lobby and is able to ground him, getting him to properly breathe until he’s ready to talk:
Bob asks if he wants to go back in or go home. Gene immediately says “Go home!” but hesitates and adds that it’s Bob’s birthday, to which Bob’s instant reply is to not worry about it and that he won’t enjoy the show if Gene isn’t enjoying the show. He adds that they can go back in and he can help Gene through it but Gene begins panicking again and Bob quickly says that they can go home, not once forcing him to do something that would overwhelm him. So they go out to the car (and I just love how Bob holds onto him):
But it gets better. Bob takes out the CD and plays it at a low volume, tilts their chairs back, and uses a cigarette lighter to ‘draw’, creating his own ‘laser show’:
Gene eventually wants to see the finale of the real show, despite Bob’s insistence that Gene doesn’t have to pretend to want to see it just for Bob and that they can just go home, to which Gene assures him that he really does want to see it. They sneak back inside and Bob makes Gene a pair of makeshift headphones so that he can listen to the music without being overwhelmed:
A+ Parenting!
(But really, what else would you expect from this show?)
you have a group of grown men raised on South Park and Dane cook with no socialization skills outside of annoying other people for fun online since they were 13 that now get to annoy people online as adults over “the butt hurt” pretending that they are now, somehow, intellectuals on every political subject. like they’ve cracked some secret PC world wide conspiracy. it’s very strange
bc they were on the starblaster for 100 years come on
magnus: [points to any animal on any given planet] taako tell that motherfucker i want to fight him
honestly a bunch of jokes about taako, lup, and barry being disney princesses for talking to animals
barry: can you please help me clean this mess up? merle: why don’t you just ask your animal friends to help? gather up your woodland creatures– barry: THAT WAS JUST THE ONE PLANET IT DOESN’T WORK ANYWHERE ELSE
merle is jesus
making up increasingly ludicrous stories and trying to get lucretia to actually write them down
magnus: you know, my real name is actually studly burninglove lucretia: [without looking up] you know what, magnus? i’ll do it. i will actually write that down. future generations will know you as studly. would that make you happy?
in that vein, davenport knew absolutely nothing about pop culture, so they keep making up celebrities and events and acting like they happened
they like. maintain it too. they have a whole canon of made-up pop culture.
taako: [something explodes] ugh this is just like when fantasy billy ray cyrus had his mid-90s breakdown davenport: isn’t it more like when fantasy kesha and fantasy bill nye had a cage match? lup: [completely straight-faced as magnus and taako try to smother their laughter] yes, cap’nport. exactly like that.
taako and lup almost managed to convince him that they were celebrity chefs until lucretia stepped in
[something goes wrong on the ship] anyone: greg fucking grimauldis
[points at anything] is that a bond
lup: am i made of bonds? barry: in a sense, yes. everything is. taako: are shadows? barry: lup: are dreams?
barry and lup bullshitting scientific-sounding words whenever magnus or merle ask them a question
