In an infinite number of realities, it's bound to happen once.

Is that you, Philomena?


ToastSage

Too busy watching Brush strokes I reckon


FarRub125

That was BBC1, he was probably too busy watching Max Headroom or The Tube

I've been Cunked!

"if all we have is channel 4, what terrible death happened to the other 3?"


Cold_Table8497

I didn't know The Jam recorded a song called Pump Up.


TheMoravianPatriot

What’s it in relation to Brush Strokes?

Only 5 years after the release of the hit album, In yhe City by The Jam.


Exchangenudes_4_Joke

My dad never hit me once. He always used combinations


Rayl33n

Dad discovered the konami code unlocked things on the kids, too.


DonYourSpoonToRevolt

Reminds me of how the great boxer Sugar ray robinson's son was talking about how his father would beat his wife. "It was the best combination I ever saw my father throw."

mellowfortherecords

Is your fist or you going in?

That will be a Reddit "yes"

How deep does this go?


PassiveChemistry

very, veru deep. iirc (and I probably don't) about a decade or more


[deleted]

NOT THIS AGAIN PLZ 😭


emrenny123

Top job. Looks like he did his research before committing as well.


Excellent_Tear3705

6 minutes after kick off as well. That’s dedication to the bit


AnotherLostSouls

That's an Airplane level of joke, I LOVE it.


farmer_palmer

Surely you are joking?


AnotherLostSouls

I've not even taking the bait.


BadgerNips

I'm deadly bait and don't call me even.

The white zone is for immediate lurking and unlurking of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.


HeartyBeast

Don’t start with that white zone shit again


colei_canis

The start of this sentence makes me want to listen to *Joe’s Garage* again.


icendoan

You'll love it. It's a way of life.


bob1689321

Come on everyone loves airplane


samtaclause

*Shirley you can't be serious


Deadpooldan

I am and don't call me Sherley (because it's spelt 'Shirley')


AnotherLostSouls

Did you just try to insult me and call me a Yank because I made reference to one of, if not, the funniest films of all time.


UncleSnowstorm

Definitely "the".


wedontlikespaces

There's no need to be rude.


PrinceCheddar

Because they called the film titled "Airplane" Airplane, rather than the English spelling of aeroplane?


iX_Smokey

I still spell it Airplane cause I'm chronically online and don't use proper British English lmao, more of a hybrid of the two


ScaramouchScaramouch

That's how I learned to spell it but I don't think I've seen it used in a long time.


UncleSnowstorm

I feel sad for you.


Flax_Vert

Get off of our sub


With_Lord_Lucan

Lurking U-Boat captain?


spearmint_wino

Definitely sounds a bit...crabby


DustyTaoCheng

Cringe


stinkus_mcdiddle

Absolute disrespect to airplane there


AnotherLostSouls

How so? Many others seem to agree with me on the dad level of joke here is on the same parallel as, for example, the hospital line in Airplane.


dubhthaigh_

I did that air thing out my nose with a smile and a nod, very good.


SpudFire

AKA breathing


dubhthaigh_

Fair play, I tried to sound funny but it didn't work. I'll take that on the chin.


SpudFire

Haha I did know what you meant but couldn't resist sorry


dubhthaigh_

🤣🤣🤣


zioNacious

This was a lampoon. A simple lampoon.


ProbablyDisagreeing

It was funny actually I did the air thing out of my nose and smiled


tbarks91

That legit had me laughing

Good human


Cryptic_Spren97

Thank you! This is always appreciated. My screenreader read some of the text from the image, but not all of it.


Juicylucyfullofpoocy

…someone reads your screen for you?


Cryptic_Spren97

Sorry, I didn't make that very clear. :) I use a program on my phone/laptop called a 'screenreader'. It converts all text on the screen into speech so that I can access it.


Juicylucyfullofpoocy

Thankyou for explaining! I thought that’s probably what you meant I was just trying (and failing) to be funny 😅 Have a nice day!

MasterMinerva

Hey, shall we start a Channel 5?


DaveBlathis

Sounds like a bad idea.


WhenLemonsLemonade

I dunno, it sounds like an optimal place to run terrible soaps, low-level European football, and from 9pm, tits


airz23s_coffee

Hey say what you like, going on holiday, then coming back to a 5th channel with Xena, Hercules and Night Fever with Suggsy was life changing.


ubermechspaceman

and deep down, is that what Britain was made for? Channel 5 was in the acts of union back in 1707, we just didn't know it yet.


WhenLemonsLemonade

Truly, Eurotrash speaks to the spirit of Albion


wOlfLisK

Hmm, well, I *do* like tits...


Yoshichu25

And porn. Lots of porn.


Excellent_Tear3705

But where else will people watch re-runs of Two and a Half Men?


SnooAvocados7381

Or Friends? We definitely need a channel that runs through all the seasons, then starts over again...


mcchanical

Once I gave up my seat on the bus for a child. I lost my job as a bus driver that day.


Excellent_Tear3705

I want to go out the same way as my dad, peacefully in his sleep. Unlike his screaming passengers.


SpectacularB

Well done Sir


cal-brew-sharp

3 mins frantically googling when channel 4 was launched.


treknaut

The same year England last won against Italy. Probably.


AnotherLostSouls

2012 in a Friendly, we won 2-1. Before that, it was '97 in the Tournoi de France (A small warm up tournament before the World Cup in '98) We didn't play them in '82, just '80 and '85, losing both.


Tea_Total

> Tournoi de France (A small warm up tournament How dare you besmirch Le Tournoi like that. It was a tournament for only the greatest teams in world football and, of course, England won it. This caused the French to realise they could never be as good as England and they abolished the tournament meaning England have been undefeated champions for the last 26 years.


AnotherLostSouls

It was going to go one of two ways, I was either going to post a comment similar to yours and get someone else completely downplay it, but honestly with your reply being as it is, I much prefer it this way!


sniborp

It was also the source of the greatest free kick goal ever scored!


PottsV1

First thing I thought of when I saw the words Tournoi de France


MonkeyVsPigsy

Last time we beat them in Italy was 1961 apparently.


DarkDeetz

Finally something older than me


DaveBlathis

What year were you born?


DarkDeetz

83, so not much time difference but still a win!


DaveBlathis

Well then I add my name to the list of the things you are older than lol


DarkDeetz

Whoop whoop!


DiddyDaedle

Someone explain I don’t get it (sorry)


indianajoes

Channel 4 really does a bad job of advertising their matches


DaveBlathis

I mean I almost never watch live TV anyway so it's no surprise I didn't know lol

robertelee1986

Am I dumb but I don't get the joje


DaveBlathis

Yes you are. When I said I didn't know there was one I meant a match, not the channel.


strangewormm

Not funny tho


ViridianKumquat

Ah, the ol' Reddit 4-a-roo


Elliotjpearson

Harry Maguire is a donkey


DaveBlathis

I think you're doing donkeys a disservice.


OkGunners22

I don’t get it. Is the joke funny because OP didn’t know a channel existed despite it existing for so long? Or is there another layer to this?


Excellent_Tear3705

Worlds smartest Arsenal fan


MaximusBit21

This is terrible dad joke. Shouldn’t even be classified as one


DaveBlathis

It's a prime example of a dad joke get a grip.


MaximusBit21

Nah


Tlou3please

All dad jokes are terrible, that's the point


MaximusBit21

I mean as in this is a terrible dad joke. Not that dad jokes are terrible.


8Ace8Ace

It's an outstanding Dad joke. I'm a Dad and I can only dream of operating at this level.


MaximusBit21

I am as well. But I’ve just seen better ones. This one was even at that level just from my opinion anyways.


No-Village7980

Not even funny

DaveBlathis

rachw39

Definitely on channel 4, as is England V Ukraine tomorrow!


Clumbum

But did you watch the match with him?


DaveBlathis

I watched the last half of the first half while I ate my dinner then went back on the xbox lol


Clumbum

I was very similar actually lmfao, I watched the first half with the old man then went and played siege 😂😂


IacenDK

I wish my dad was Leslie Nielsen


DaveBlathis

But then he'd be dead?


IacenDK

What’s your point?


bigblackshaq

A period after 1982 would have been icing on the cake.


GrandPerspective5848

And then you reply with 'hahaha' and he leaves you on read


Thomrose007

Googles and 3 mins later... gold


DaveBlathis

Aye I love that he actually did the research first lol. Unless he already knew which I highly doubt ha.


PikAchusRevenge

He googled it


SillyMidOff49

It took him 3 minutes to google that Info


photon_dna

Couldn't watch it, because Channel4 app won't cast to a TV, in 2023

fluffytailz2019

There has also been a Countdown since that same day.


quettil

"Didn't know there was one" isn't how you'd respond to that. "Didn't know it was on" maybe. Clearly set up.


[deleted]

how has this got 15k upvotes. this sub is facebook


Curious-Addition-912

BBC 1 was launched in 1936 This man says channel 4 was launched in 1982 By that arithmetic, I can't wait for channel 69 in 2725!


foreverwalkerlove847

I don’t get it someone explain


Classic_Midnight_213

….and you know he Googled the date before replying


-Woogiewoo-

My favourite dumb joke of all time: "Did you know they only use Linux and mac OS on the international space station. Its because its dangerous to open windows in space"


kalimaa99

My dad was a man of very few words. He once said to me, son.
