0bvious things you’ve only just realised (2019 edition)

[touchingcloth]

There's a thread in Picture Box titled "Doctor Who - Series 12, Chibnall's Revenge". That's "Chibnall" not "Chinball", and he writes it or directs it or created it or sutin rather than it being a reference to a cast member or monster with a chin like balls or balls like a chin.

Centenary page 0bvious cunt.

[weekender]

Fuck me, you'll realise that Chibnall is a shit writer soon. 

Welcome to five years ago when Capaldi was The Doctor actually being broadcast.

Where's the typo in Battle off Britain?

Battle off Britain sounds like a daytime TV show.

Tim Robbins is a tall man. When Morgan Freeman calls him a "tall drink of water", the emphasis is on "tall", not "drink of water".

I still can't decide whether or not it was casting/directing genius to have him scrap with tom cruise (who's literally half his size) in a cellar while dodging martians.

"sucrose" is an anagram of "scouser"

"Chaos" is the opposite of "cosmos".

How have I existed for 42 years without knowing that? What a lamentable state of affairs!

Have you just listened to the same Terence McKenna thing that I have?

ETA: there is also another obvious thing that we last few posters are missing...

"Chaos" is the opposite of "cosmos".

And yet there is no such word as cosmotic.

[Blue Jam]

There is such a word as osmotic tho...

I've been watching The Simpsons for almost thirty years and just realised that Edna Krabappel is a play on Crab Apple

[olliebean]

"Kroosh" in Bojack Horseman (and apparently elsewhere too) is slang for "crucial."

Her name is Krabappel? I've been calling her Krandall! Ooh I've been making an idiot out of myself!

Cilantro is Coriander.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Cilantro is Coriander.

This one got me, but not as much as capsicum being peppers. Still doesn't always make it clear whether they mean sweet or bell though.

[imitationleather]

Coriander's miscarriage.

Just a note for future forum historians:

There was briefly a two-page 0bvious Things 2019'n 2: 0bvious B00gal00 thread created when this one hit 100 pages. 

It was stickied for a few days, before then being locked and this one re-stickied, presumably to be allowed to finish out the year after all.

If Woody Allen ran a restaurant, he'd be a resterauteur.

What's to drink? Manhattan.

What's for dessert? Bananas.

Where's Woody? In the back with Hannah and her Sisters (there's nothing funny going on, they're minors).
