What amuses you

The latest Trivago campaign has this annoying smarty-alec, know-it-all German dude with teeth.

Basically, after he puts his towel on the best sun lounge at the hotel in the morning he turns up when other hotel guests are having a nice coffee, and ruins it by telling them how to get better room rates.

It used to amuse me, but now the saturation campaign has made me hate that guy. I find out he is ubiquitously known as “the trivago guy” he has a meme machine streaming him worldwide.

We all need something//someone to hate other than Fark Carlton . Can’t wait for the end of the off season, so I can get back to hating teams like FC, Geelong and Sydney.

There are many real people out there to hate.

Obviously not healthy but we have many shockers around World making bad decisions and causing mayhem.

Yeh. I don’t hate anyone enough to set out to kill them. But I don’t get sad when bad people are eliminated.

When the first James Bond film came out, with some evil dictator running Spectre, I thought, they are joking, after Hitler no one will allow a person like that to gain power.

There’s meant to be a slow, yet inexorable, descent into Godwin’s Law; you can’t just go from Trivago guy to Hitler in two posts.

The teenaged checkout operator at Woollies this morning asked me about the Che Guevara t-shirt that I happened to be wearing.

I told her it was Jimi Hendrix, who used to play keyboards in Black Sabbath. There is no doubt at all that she believed me.

That could go in the “Reminders You’re Getting Old” thread as well…it certainly brought a smile to my face. :grin:

I work as a school cleaner and the children there say it all the time towards hometime.

Does my nut in.

I know that all relates to a song by rapper Skrilla in reference to the street he lived on in Chicago followed up by a 12 year old kid shouting that at a basketball match in reference to a player eho was 6 foot 7 and quickly becoming a meme a bit like the Hok Tuah lady

But there is really no specific meaning behind it, kids say that lots and I have never heard a meme get shouted out as much as that.

This is the next generation of younguns memes are more than just jokes they are becoming established terms in their lingo

I do admire the clever buggers who mash this up with Nathan Lyon clips.

Mispronouncing pedantic.
Correcting women on the definition of mansplaining.
Going awww when someone says something is patronising.

When your body temperature drops when you jump into bed and under the covers and you become uncontrollably happy and comfy while kicking your feet around.

Jokingly asking a guy if he played for Hawthorn because of his name, and him replying, ‘nah, Richmond, but I get that a lot…’

Whoops.

Academic spam can be very amusing:

I need a new fridge, and we have an older kitchen with very specific dimensions that we can fit.
So I’m in the store just measuring everything. I go and ask to double check if this fridge will be ok.
Me: I only have enough space for up to 1740mm height. The brochure says this one is 1725mm. So I’ll have the 15mm clearance?

Sales lady (gets out big tape measure. Extends it comically, out annd up into tje ait, out, out out to 1740mm and then points to the gap
between that spot and 1725mm. That how much gap you have.
Lady: ‘that’s how much gap you will have’
