I'm not sure if I'm supposed to get this but if I am, I don't.

The cops aren’t around so they can freely violate the law of gravity.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

There are multiple moving violations.

They're breaking the laws of physics

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honey, call the cops! John Wayne and Bing Crosby are defying the laws of gravity again!

Bonus: "Gravity is a law! I obey the law!"

Love to see a Salvatore Ganacci reference in my feed

(Unless he's referencing something else then feel free to enlighten me)

[–] FiFoFree@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

This is the comic Salvatore based his skit on.

there weren't any surviving witnesses

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The graphics remind me of pilotredsun's content

Jeroom is great, unfortunately most of his content is in Dutch (unfortunate because I don't understand it)

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Send me your favorite Dutch Jeroom comics and I'll translate them. (I'm Flemish)

Yes I know how stupid this sounds.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. I usually type the balloons into Google translate and get a sensible chuckle out of it, or sometimes I guess the joke only works in its original language. If I see one of those I'll ask you!

I thought he was Dutch btw, I remember he posted something about being in Amsterdam doing a show and I assumed he spoke Dutch

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

He's Belgian, born in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, Flanders. We speak a couple of regional dialects collected under the name Flemish. It's basically Dutch with a twist.

Lots of comedians in Flanders also do shows in the Netherlands and the other way around. Not that many Dutch speaking people in the world, so might as well try and reach all of them I guess.

Thanks to portuguese, my mind keeps associating Flemish with flamingoes and flamenco.

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought flamenco was Spanish.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

It is, but "a flemish person" would translate to "uma pessoa flamenga" in portuguese. 3 very similar sounding and written words that relate to very different things.

[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 1 points 10 months ago

Gesundheit.

[–] hyves@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He has a bunch of English ones on his website as well. Some of them are just the dumbest, least translatable puns though (in a good way).

For this one the joke even only works in Flemish (not Dutch).

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cheers mate, hadn't seen this one before!

[–] Species8472@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Me neither. Hilarious!
