Trump should be arrested as soon as he steps outside the Untied States

Because of war crimes close to Venezuela, where they killed 11 people on an alleged drug vessel? I doubt anyone will arrest him for that in Great-Britain.

14 people on two alleged drug vessels as of yesterday IIRC.

Not that many compared to other wars.

This isn't a war though, it's extrajudicial murder, for funsies.

Channel 4, you are as British as it gets. Thank you.

Just a quick reminder that they aired (and produced?) a season of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. A show I can't even begin to describe.

now let's all agree
never to be creative again

Is there more than one season?

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 1 pts · 348d (3 replies)

That's a quote from one of the shorter videos they were doing on YT only before they made the full season for Channel 4.

The TV episodes are 6 and roughly 25min long each. It's all made up like a semi-educational children's show.

And to finally answer your Q, not to my or wikipedia's knowledge.

quick_snail@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 347d (2 replies)

So that means there's two seasons?

Boxwine@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 347d (1 reply)

Pretty much, a YouTube season and a channel 4 season

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 1 pts · 347d

Yeah I didn't realize the earlier YT stuff was defined as a season.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 347d

The question is whether this will be available outside the UK, streaming-wise.

Can they get the come dine with me narrator to chime in randomly between facts?

"Taxi!"

Noice.

BTW, this is from his previous London visit:

I wouldn't want to be the one having to compile that video.

SpikesOtherDog@ani.social · 8 pts · 348d (1 reply)

There are those who have been compiling these videos for years.

Flamekebab@piefed.social · 6 pts · 348d

I really wouldn't want to spend that much time listening to this embarrassment of a human being talk.

Cenzorrll@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 348d

What do you mean? Just air every thing, and if you get to the end, livestream it.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 348d (1 reply)

With all the lies, it will last longer than the visit itself. WAY longer.

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 5 pts · 348d

And even longer after they add the lies he spouted during his visit.

Showroom7561@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 348d

They're going to be airing that for next 20 years, because he's told a LOT of lies!

edit: grammar-policing myself.

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 3 pts · 348d
