Ramon Tikaram Puns

this man could read a phone book and make me blush. I feel dirty. . . .

Just Close your Eyes. . .& Listen

He's too Cute for Words. . .

This is stupid but I HAVE TO share with someone who understands:

I turned on the TV and noticed Midsummer Murders was on... now, I don't often watch that show but I left it on anyway (I like it fine), and went on doing whatever - and then I heard it: The Velvety Voice. I lift my head, incredulous, and yes: it was damn Ramon Tikaram! So I squeled "Dorian! Noooo!" and almost fell off the couch. Spent the rest of the episode drooling, hopelessly hypnotized. My stomache is still fluttering, haha! <3

Ramon Tikaram plays an announcer of the Casa Cristo 5000 race (the road rally)! Seeing him made me probably the most excited anyone has ever been about the Speed Racer movie:

Then IMDb pointed out he also played a captain of the Stormcrows in Game of Thrones:

Dude, Khaleesi. This man was in your tent and you didn't romance him? I'm not sure you deserve anybody's throne.

There's been this idea floating around that "Anyone can play The Doctor" from both fans and even some of the actors and creators behind the show.

I will, however, respectfully disagree. I would rephrase it as "EVERYONE can play The Doctor, but not ANYONE can."

The Doctor can be played by men, women, white people, black people, asian people, indian people, pakistani people, whatever you want.

However, you need a very specific type of actor who can do this character justice. Just because there have been variations to The Doctor doesn't mean there aren't certain attributes that are consistent with most versions that SHOULD be there, so the character feels true.

I'm kind of sick of people suggesting every actor under the sun because they're either trendy or they can play "lel quirky" characters (I think Richard Ayoade is a great comedian, I just don't think he's got the chops for The Doctor just because Moss is superficially similar), so I thought I'd compile a list of the four characteristics that I think are necessary to play The Doctor.

1: They have to come from the U.K. - We've had Brits and we've had Scots and we can have Irish and Welsh, but I'll be damned if I take any Americans as The Doctor. It's a fundamentally British show, you need someone from the area because they will bring something to the character that is fundamentally from there.

2: They can't be mega-famous - This ties into the next point, but I don't think The Doctor should ever be played by someone who's attained a lot of fame. It distracts from the character and I think people would see the actor over The Doctor rather than the actor as The Doctor. Also, I'll come out and say it, I don't think Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch would be great Doctors. Those seem to be the only choices by people who only know two British actors.

3: They should be Character Actors: From Wikipedia, a Character Actor is "a supporting actor who plays unusual, interesting, or eccentric characters." Essentially, it's someone who can bring very distinct skills to the table and not just a great actor. Anthony Hopkins is a fantastic actor, but I would never cast him as The Doctor because he lacks a distinct weirdness that I think is needed for the role.

4: They should be weird - I'll put this out there: The Doctor is fucking weird. Not "lel quirky" weird like the New Series has tried to impinge on us, but properly fucking weird. Just look at 4, dude is always saying weird shit and

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

There is no speculation.

Many believe that Pygmy is Velka, but Velka is a woman, and Miyazaki confirmed that the pygmy is a man. Also the theory "the furtive pygmy is Chosen Undead from dark souls 1" is refuted by the words of Kaathe: ( he speaks with Chosen Undead) "But your progenitor found a fourth, unique soul."

"Then, from the Dark, They Came, and found the Souls of Lords within the flame. Nito, the first of the dead, the Witch of Izalith and her Daughters of Chaos, Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights, and the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten."

Each character shown in cinematic is very important in Dark Souls. And we met Gwyn and killed him. Like Nito and the Witch of Isalith. But where is the furtive pygmy? I don't believe that he wasn't shown for 3 games. What Miyazaki says about him:

http://soulslore.wikidot.com/das1-game-no-shokutaku

"It isn't written anywhere, but, the image is something like humanity's ancestor. He found the Lord Soul, fragmented it and humanity are like the fragments of it. Kinda like an ancestor, yeah. So the descendants, the humans, have a part of that Lord Soul."

This means that the pygmy is the creator of mankind. But what is human? Humanity description: 'This black sprite is called humanity, but little is known about its true nature. If the soul is the source of all life, then what distinguishes the humanity we hold within ourselves?"

That means only human have humanity and humanity is a main part of human. Without humanity human is no longer human. And humanity is a part of the Lord Soul of furtive pygmy, pygmy is the first human! But why is it called "pygmy", not a man? "Pygmy" is a mistranslation.

In the Japanese version furtive pygmy is called "小人" , it translates as "small stature" and "low social status". Miyazaki says the second version is correct. It means "pygmies" and humans are the same.

Elizabeth and Marvellous Chester call Manus "primeval human". "Primeval" can mean "first", and furtive pygmy is first human, Manus is the furtive pygmy. But also "primeval" can mean "ancient", one of many. But is every ordinary human reborn after death as Nashandra, Elana, Nadalia and Alsanna? Too powerful for the average human, isn't it? Therefore, I believe that the "first" is more correct. Also soul of Manus description " Soul of Manus, Father of the Abyss. This extraordinary soul *is a

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
