Scene one: Outside Bevensford Manor
Enter Big Daddy and Pissingham, on the back of a horse.
Big Daddy: Woah there, Fiat500! Settle down, girl!
Pissingham: She must smell trouble nearby.
Big Daddy: Actually I think she's just still a little upset from the incident at the petrol station.
Interlude
I felt I had to halt the production of Dog in the Mist where BD and Pissingham uncover Ref-Bot's beaten metallic corpse and get caught up in a world in intrigue and misdirection where it turns out it was Lord Charles all along after he had a hallucinogenic-induced flashback to an episode of Red Dwarf where he thought Ref-Bot was the reincarnation of the Polymorph. Hilarity/Peril ensued.
But we'll get back to that later.
I have two complaints I'd like to expand upon.
1) The Lad Bible. (And other Facebook-related shit)
Where to begin? Lad-culture has been around for a long long time of course, but lately it seems to have just become synonymous with behaving like a prize jeb-end. It's joined the really irritating parade of what have been described as 'click-bait' on facebook (which I've noticed takes up more than half of my updates these days). Have you noticed this?
"This guy's Mum will probably disown him after this"
"26 People who instantly regretted being arrested in ironic t-shirts"
"Do you know all the lyrics to Bohemium Rhapsody?"
It goes on and on! All they are are ways to throw more and more advertisements in your face, none of which anyone even pays attention to!
But yes back to Lad Bible it just grinds my gears that people would find this amusing in a non-ironic way. Any intelligent person would view it as "look how insecure and immature we can be". Most of them start with something like "You'll never guess what this Lad did!" whereas I can answer that without actually clicking the link by knowing it was probably 'gettin off with a load o' birds' or 'having a giant car' or 'getting a fucking stupid tattoo' or otherwise behaving like someone from a shit Inbetweeners Tribute Act.
2) Loud and Jaded. (and youtubers in general)

2) Loud and Jaded. (and youtubers in general)
This is something I've only just come across. It's a Youtube channel and the presenter(s) have clearly read the Youtuber's handbook on how to present a Youtube Channel.
Rule 1: Always have your face on screen and try to fit as many facial expressions in as humanly possible! If either of your eyebrows are still for over half a second you're a disgrace to the Youtuber community!
Rule 2: You must always speak with an annoying question intonation! Like everything you're saying is a question? Even when it's a statement? (You're excused if you are actually asking a question).
Rule 3: Have a really punchable face. I'm looking at you Ray William Johnson! They all try to exude a certain personality that has to be at the same time cool/funny/earnest or whatever else and I just don't buy into it. They all try to outshine one another and I dont think it ever comes across as very genuine. Fair enough they're putting on a show, but I think they just try too hard. I'm sure they're fab in RL.
