i love wallace and gromit

[Mr. Peanuts]

As much as I love Wallace and Gromit, I cant help laughing.

As much as I love Wallace and Gromit, I cant help laughing.

Instead of celebrating their little box office victory they have to mourn the loss of their bestest building ever. But I totally love their shorts.

[ZeUs!!]

You watch Wallace and Gromit in America? Do you even get half the jokes?

[Nockm]

How would someone know the proportion of jokes they are getting when there is no joke checklist?

Aardman said the sets and props from its latest film, "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," were not caught in the blaze.

Well, that sucks

[ZeUs!!]

Because when I said 50% it was an exact figure, and not an estimate or even a demonstration of how many jokes I feel relate to a British audience and in turn, how many would confuse foreign audiences. Fuck do you pick people up who say red instead of burgundy too? You'd be great at dinner parties

Thats a given, but:

No seriously, that wasn't a cultural slur, although it says a fair bit when you get all defensive whenever someone questions anything to do with your society. I was saying that Wallace and Gromit is such an English institution, the Wensleydale cheese and all that, and the story's littered witha load of small jokes heckling small scale Yorkshire life, that I really can't see it making the transition to... anywhere foreign? It obviously has as its number one in the states, but 25% of the jokes in it probably wizz over your head NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE IGNORANT BUT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT AIMED AT YOU SO DON'T GET DEFENSIVE AGAIN

Jokes are local, punchlines are universal. In five hundred years, few will remember pirates and less the current movie rating system, but there will be still be a "rated arrrr" joke, maybe "restricted to Eyeeeee level" or "The battleship movie is restricted to group 12A" for you Brits.

Ok got it.

I hear after the Original wallace and gromit series aired, Wensleydale cheese sales sky rocketed.
