I am starting to think all of the hosts of WhatCulture have died in a bus crash and only the editors survived.

At the WhatCulture office:<br><br>"In the future, we need to record these lists over several sittings and in different conditions. Maybe one in an actual recording studio, the rest can either be in another room with bad acoustics, bathroom or maybe whilst on the bus. What do you think?"<br><br><b>everyone starts cheering and clapping</b>

The best scene in "I Love Lucy" was when without the permission of the Studio, Ricky walks into the Bedroom set with a screwdriver. Then removes the screws holding both single beds 6 feet apart and pushed both beds, including the one Lucy was in, to the "center" of the set and gets into the bed with his wife<br>This is the first time a couple has slept in the same bed in a TV show.<br>The next time the bed was shown is has a top sheet and blankets that ran across the whole bed. Ending the "Are they sleeping together?" question

The iPhone rule feels so stupid considering the goal of the company is to be ubiquitous. iPhones are so common that much of the design can be considered "generic"

The\n Rule I think that's funniest with the Spider-Man 90s. Cartoon was he wasn't allowed to throw punches, so he would often take villains out by ripping down nearby brick walls on top of them, which is way worse.

In terms of Godzilla not eating people... I thought it was always a case that he subsisted on radiation alone, as the logistics of a creature that huge eating the amount of physical food it would need to survive each day is bafflingly high. That being the case, he literally doesn't NEED to hunt or eat people.<br><br>I can see why they would want that rule though... partially to keep the above reason consistant in the canon, and partially because half the time he's seen as a savior, and they wouldn't want him to be seen as a hero one moment and then a man-eating killing machine in the next... It would taint the times where he's a good guy.

I remember hearing about the clause that only Deadpool could break the fourth wall and I thought that was in general. Until I watch She-Hulk which kicked down the fourth wall.

These mashups are crazy, one video is voiceover only and has good audio, whilst Ewen appears on screen and recorded in an echo chamber, something basic audio editing software could help reduce. The quality is spiralling...

Interesting... I remember Johnny Carson saying on his Tonight Show, "Thirty years ago, you couldn't say the word 'pregnant' on TV."<br><br>I wonder if that's related!

There’s an unlicensed Film called ‘Beyond the Doors’ that tells the tale of the CIA taking out Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison.<br><br>No licensed music.<br>At all.
