You would think, but the opening days of GB News have been plagued by amateurishness: bad lighting, terrible sound, stupid words and a total inability to spot off-colour puns.ĭo they have any plans to tackle the problem? Yes, they’ve introduced two new presenters, Dixie Normus and Phil McCavity.ĭo say: “I’d like to speak to Mr Neil about wokeness, please. I always imagined cynical, rightwing culture warriors to be more savvy. Actually Nigel Farage was recently persuaded to read out a birthday message to Hugh Janus on Cameo. No, there wasn’t.ĭidn’t they do this on The Simpsons? Yes – Bart made regular calls to Moe’s bar asking to speak to, among others, IP Freely, Amanda Huggenkiss, Anita Bath and Heywood U Kuddlemee. When I worked as a supply teacher there was a boy in the class called Mike Oxlong. Only a few hours earlier, the former Brexit party MEP Alexandra Phillips read an email from someone called “Mike Oxlong”.īut they could be genuine names. Yes? And? You may need to say his name out loud. In response to an item about children’s toys, presenter Michelle Dewberry read a response from one Mike Hunt. But its opinion shows are at least popular with a certain kind of caller.
One Reddit user reckons moe has known it is Bart on the phone since his first prank. Where can I avoid this channel? Advertisers are asking the same question. The Simpsons fan theory about Barts prank calls to Moe will make you weep. “In fact, Hector has been banished from the studio.” What does it have instead? “Passionate presenters with character, flair, attitudes, opinion and, yes, a sense of humour,” said Neil on opening night.ĭo you have any examples of that humour? “Nobody will be allowed to hector,” he said a few seconds later. It’s a new “anti-woke” news channel fronted by Andrew Neil, but without any news. Really? But who would be so gullible in this day and age? The presenters of GB News. Don’t worry – prank calls are making a comeback. I for one am very grateful.I miss that sort of wholesome, good-natured humour. This wonderful stranger(s) decided to briefly pull us out of our dystopian hell-scape and give us something to laugh at for once. With several states actively working to prevent schools from mandating masks and kids already becoming sick or being quarantined left and right, we needed some levity. It doesn’t appear that the person or persons responsible for the prank have been named, but I’m going to hope it was a group of kids trying to help us adults feel a brief flash of joy amid what’s already a pretty fraught school year. And if you read those names and wondered what the problem was - try reading them out loud. Bless him, he just kept on reading one fake vulgar name after another, apparently not realizing the Board had been had. “Phil McKraken? Phil McKraken?” He continues in the otherwise silent room, oblivious, reading off names including: Suk Mahdik, Ophelia McCaulk, Eileen Dover, Don Kedick, and Wayne Kuhr. Cooper III dutifully reads each nonsense name twice to give the person a chance to walk to the podium. That happened the other night at a meeting for the Henrico School Board in Virginia - and this poor guy really did just keep reading those nutty names without realizing what was going on.īoard member Roscoe D. You know how on The Simpsons Bart prank calls Moe’s Tavern and gives the name of a fake person he’s trying to get ahold of? The name is always ridiculous and embarrassing when said out loud and poor Moe never seems to catch on until it’s too late. Thankfully, some heroic soul decided to give us a break from that horror show and make us laugh - by sending their school board a list of would-be public commenters with fake names that when said out loud, sound pretty dirty. Toss in an angry, uninformed rant about CRT, and there you have it. In a COVID world, school board meetings are another thing entirely with angry parents on both sides arguing for or against masks, distancing, and other mitigation measures.
Sure there might’ve been some spicy moments here and there, but overall, they were just meetings to discuss what needs to be done (or not done) in order to keep a school district up and running. Local school board meetings were once a perfunctory monthly snooze-fest in most American towns. Someone pranked a local school board by sending in a list of fake public commenters a la Bart Simpson calling Moe’s Tavern
