[edit] That's No Wrap!

Bubs mispronounces Dangeresque's name as "Danger-skew," as though trying to read it phonetically and failing horribly.

From: stunt double
Posted on: 22:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • Not that obvious.
  • That's the joke - he is reading it from a cue card; no one briefed him on how to pronouce Dangeresque before he appeared in the film.
  • His squinting justifies this

Arguments against:

  • Too obvious.
  • It's a joke, mention it in the transcript only, other than that it is pretty obvious.

Additional comments:

  • I daresay this is not that obvious. But never mind that. This fact has been on the page for nearly a year, during which time it was tacitly accepted by nearly everyone who read it. Why drag it through this process now?
  • This can easily be reduced to a note in the transcript: Bubs pronounces Dangeresque as Danger-Skew. I don't see why it needs its own fun fact.
    • I disagree. You've got the what but not the why.
      • The fun fact doesn't tell us why either. The fact should be revised to say "as though reading from a cue card."
        • It's enough just to say that he's reading it. He could have just put down his script, for example.
    • I don't think the "why" is so obvious. Bubs isn't squinting or anything when he says it; all we know is that he pronounces it phonetically. I vote for the transcript idea.
  • If this is accepted, it really should be reworded. Bubs doesn't fail to pronounce it phonetically; he does (as noted immediately above).
    • I disagree. Even trying to pronounce it phonetically, he really does butcher it.

[edit] A Heaping Bowl of Fish Sauce

Fish sauce is a salty sauce made from fermented seafood, integral in Southeast Asian cooking.

Arguments for:

  • Interesting.

Arguments against:

  • Not obscure enough.


Additional comments:

  • Did you know that before you read this item?
  • What do you mean not obscure enough? Fish Sauce is completely unheard of in the Western World.
    • Maybe fairly common among under-30, metropolitan types who cook Thai occasionally, but that's not everybody by a long shot.
  • He may have been simply referring to any sauce used on fish.
    • I doubt it, since "Fish sauce" exists.
