Eulickedes nutz

    From what I understand, the Eu is pronounced like Ef.

    I used to work with a guy named Eutychios. He went by George.

    In the case of Eytychios, the E-Y diphthong is indeed pronounced as Ef but in the case of Eyripidis it is actually pronounced as Ev I'm afraid (as in Europe -- Eyropi -- is pronounced Ev-ro-o-pee). Sorry for the inconvenience 🤣

    Did ancient Greeks wear pants? Maybe he ripped them off a barbarian? Euripides actually mentions pants and mocks them.

    The Young Ones did this one way better.

    Watch the whole sequence (from 06:15 to 07:30). Ignore the insanely inaccurate subtitles.

    I love this show!

    2 seconds of funny text vs 1 minute of loud high pitched hard to understand talking over a canned laugh track. Agree to disagree :)

    Hmmm...I'm partly deaf and had no trouble understanding it.

    Apart from certain pre-filmed sequences, The Young Ones was filmed in front of a live studio audience.

    I heard Woody Allen do this in the 60's. Nice revival of a good line.

    Yep. They happily send two, three, or five thousand bytes images instead of maybe 50 bytes of text. The worst have that image in the centermost 20%, and black emptyness at the top and bottom from the screenshot they took instead of just copying the text.
