LoadingReadyRun: Spoken Word

Lol... HL Use Key error sound...

Also...

"Fiji"

 

[Unesh52]

I didn't care for the animation. But the phonetics of the English language have always made me ashamed to call it my native tongue, so I loled a plenty.

 

[Kuliani]

Oh, I get it!

SKETCH comedy! Bravo!

 

[Harrowdown]

its zee not zed.

In Queen's English, spoken by us Brits, Australians and Canadians (ie most of the Commonwealth I believe), the letter Z is pronounced 'zed'. It's only you Americans who say 'zee' because you've bastardised the English tongue

Oh PLEASE! don't act so high and mighty! not even the Americans could screw it up much more than it already was! maybe if the brits hadn't made a habit of getting INVADED by everyone all the time it would have been redeemable!

The last time Britain was invaded was 1066. Read a book. Besides, pre-Norman 'English' was hardly English at all, at least not compared to anything in the last 800 years or so. You wouldn't recognise it if you heard it today.It's not 'screwed up', it's just evolved.

When was the last time we were invaded? 1066? Seriously, the Germans never put a foot on here. Now please stop arguing. David Mitchell is right. All of you are needlessly arguing.

Thank you for that. I don't mind American's using English however they want. I mean it's becoming a defining trait for them. As a Canadian holding out against the American take over however, I tend to get a little rough with my friends when they slip up on "Z". I figure with more BBC programing coming our way it will help stem the tide.

The last thing I'll say about English is that Shakespeare and Douglas Adams created words to replace long sentences describing feelings, not to merge two words into one.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Meh, i didn't laugh one bit. Sorry guy's, i didn't like it this week.

I have to admit, that was Alfa Mike Uniform Sierra India November Golf

Yes, I know the Phonetic Alphabet.

No you don't or you would you know that it is "Alpha" not 'Alfa'. Gotta love English. I know I do. You also gotta love the numeric equivalent of the Phonetic Alphabet that the Army uses. "Tree, Niner, Fife!"

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

Couldn't afford a plane, eh?

Doesn't matter anyway, this was awesome

Thank you for that ^_^

Also, it might be of worth to note, in the general 'Britain being invaded' category, that the last time we were invaded the US didn't even exist. Yeah. That's what 'history' is - you Yanks sit up and take notice

 

[Risingblade]

I liked it because it was a cartoon....yeah xD

 

[clauwman]

Can't... stop... staring... at the funny.... smiley face.....

The UK hasn't been invaded for 944 years.

 

[Sikketh]

Is that an Awesome Smiley in the background?

I had thought the same thing. Couldn't look away from it, either.

"Do I sound like I'm on a cruise ship?" made me laugh, at several times.

Except it apparently is Alfa in this instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICAO_spelling_alphabet

Bravo Kuliani, that was the funniest thing to come from this yet!

 

[Distorted Stu]

I couldnt help but laugh all the way through, brilliant

 

[V8 Ninja]

Meh. Didn't like the animation a whole lot, but it wasn't a bad episode. And besides, I'm pretty sure it would've been impossible to get a situation that resembled the set pieces so well.

Actually, according to this [http://usmilitary.about.com/od/theorderlyroom/a/alphabet.htm], both "Alpha" and "Alfa" are correct.

And my grandfather was in the Navy and he told me that both are acceptable spellings.

Bit like marmite this video, it seems, but I liked it. Too much malt extract though, and the animation was okay but not nearly as good as the dialogue. But LRR is all about the dialogue, not the visuals so it doesn't really matter.

PS English IS fun.
