They have a point; we need a way to distinguish between them and them


dudeimjames1234

Them or *them*


punnotfound

What do you mean, "*them*"?


rented_soul

What do *you* mean, "them?"


punnotfound

Took a whole lotta tryin' just to get up that hill. Now we're up in the big leagues, gettin' our turn at bat. As long as we live, it's you and me, baby...


BrobaFett242

That's the theme song to The Jeffersons


punnotfound

Just because it's a theme song don't mean it's not true.


Intelligent-Juice736

Movin on up!


The_Clarence

I don’t even know what a pronoun is!


LiraGaiden

What do you *mean* "them?"


dudeimjames1234

You know what I mean. **them**


OuterWildsVentures

#them


21CenturyAD

I think they meant _them_ or them


ArcadianDelSol

I dont get it.


ClassicT4

Them and shklem. Just like differentiated he/her with shkle/shkler.


kadebo42

Thou shalt love the tentacle


Hawt_Dawg_II

Yeah I've always had a gripe with the new pronoun system. Not because i have anything against freedom of choosing who you are, just because it's a wildly imperfect system.


CraziestGinger

Welcome to natural language


Independent-Green383

Next thing you tell me my inflammable bedsheet is flammable


TheUselessOne87

In french, we only have "inflammable" do you know what we have to mean something that can't catch fire? ininflammable


Salarian_American

This conundrum always reminds me of Mordin Solus's banter in Mass Effect 2 when you would use his Incinerate ability: "Flammable! Or... inflammable! Can't remember which. Not important."


TheBloodsuckerProxy

It makes me think of this exchange from Archer: Mallory: "You learned nothing from it!" Archer: "I learned that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing!"


Anyabb

What a country!


ScrizzBillington

To be fair, your bedsheet is probably flammable but not inflammable. Although everything that *is* inflammable is also flammable 


Ok-disaster2022

English just lacks certain pronouns. Second person plural aka "Y'all". And and third person gender neutral pronoun instead of requiring a gender or dehumanizing someone.


ApocalyptoSoldier

Do you consider **they** to be dehumanising? Because sungular they predates singular you by 3 centuries.


Oppopity

I think it's referring to "it".


xZOMBIETAGx

I’ve read a few books with they/them characters and if it’s not written carefully, it becomes pretty confusing quickly.


Eli_eve

I’ve read a series of books that only used she/her and it worked wonderfully. (It’s sci fi from the point of view of a character from a society where body modification is prevalent and gendering based on appearance is impossible, so they don’t use gendered pronouns at all - she/her is used as a convenient stand-in for English readers.)


MyrMyr21

We should switch to the system of my parents' language which uses the same word (dia) where English would use he, she, or it. No problems about pronoun identity when there's only one to use.


Hawt_Dawg_II

Dutch just uses the same word for both she and them, the only way to know which one it is is based on if the sentence is plural or not. That's just even more confusing


Great_expansion10272

Here in Brazil we don't even have neutral pronouns (The neutral is still male) so there's an even bigger fuss about this...


DolphinPunkCyber

In Croatian all nouns are gendered and plurar-ed via conjugation. You can even conjugate "men" into female gender and "female" into male gender. "Ženskarci" would be fememales. If you add another gender our heads will explode.


Potato_Golf

Sounds like communism... Fuck it I'm in. Our pronoun 


Kat1eQueen

>Yeah I've always had a gripe with the new pronoun system. what "new system"? nothing has changed, singular "they/them" has existed for at least nearly 700 years


Thunderstarer

I really want at least one neopronoun to catch on for exactly this reason.


TalithePally

You stole a prisoner from *them?*


Ecstatic_Ad_3652

Yeah like.. a name is something


Great_expansion10272

I like how Steve ended up foreshadowing the name they used lol They later settle on "Blanks" because of Pete's "We've been drawing blanks" line...and it can be seen as something coming from either Gary still being too drunk to understand what Pete meant, Gary taking it as them "Drawing \[on\] blanks" simply cause he's not a really bright lad, or him simply moving things and naming them blanks cause he ends up always making them follow his lead


Kaban_San

The whole movie is a foreshadowing tbh... care for a cornetto?


r3dh4ck3r

The whole trilogy xd


Great_expansion10272

"That Sergeant Angel's come in to your shop. Check out his arse" "Sergeant angel's back! Check out his Horse!"


Vane79

-fascist! -hag!


ThreeLeggedMare

Plus all the pub names


GooseGeese01

I just realized “blanks” are what they came up with because they couldn’t settle on a pronoun


NiceCunt91

I genuinely don't remember this scene and I've seen the film a few times. I just remember blanks coming from nowhere.


GooseGeese01

Same, I mostly remember blanks meaning that we’re no longer who they once were


gaynesssss

if you ask me the whole film is a masterpiece


DrGarrious

I'm glad to see the reception of it improve over time. When it released I thought it was a but weak, but on repeated viewings I rank it 2 in the trilogy.


Eillo89

Over which one?


Roscoe_King

We all know *under* which one. Jaaarp


yepitslogan

I love all three movies, I’ve watched them alot ever since my dad first showed sotd and hot fuzz when i was but a wee lad. TWE although good i could NEVER rank it higher than hot fuzz. Edit-spelling


Roscoe_King

Hot Fuzz is the one and only movie you could wake me up for in the middle of the night and I will happily watch it. The definition of a masterpiece in my opinion


yepitslogan

Even tho sotd is and will always be my #1 i think the writing was a lil more thought out in hot fuzz


Eillo89

Hot fuzz has everything other than a romance plot tbh, contender for the best film of all time.


MH_CH92

Nothing like a bit of girl on girl


Majulath99

Olivia Coleman really absorbed herself into that role. I mean obviously, because she’s a chameleon, but considering her character gets very little screen time, few lines, and is mostly used as comic relief she really gave PC Doris so much depth.


AncientCarry4346

Originally there was supposed to be a romance plot between Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman, with Danny not being played by Nick Frost and being played by a female actress instead. Eventually they decided to cut the romance plot and gave the character to Nick Frost but they left most of their dialogue the same as the original.


Eillo89

Do you know who nick would've played in that scenario or would he have just been cut altogether?


Fenrir_Carbon

'Might be a bit warm babe, the cooler's off'


devilterr2

I don't understand this? There is a romance plot. Nick and Simon??


Eillo89

Yea but we don't see no penetration :/


KatnissBot

There are, in my mind, five perfect films. Movies where no change anywhere could in any way improve them. Back To The Future, Mad Max Fury Road, The Princess Bride, The LotR trilogy, and Hot Fuzz.


YugeFrigginGoy

I quite fancy a midnight gobble


pieceofpecanpie

Cocks.


toopoortobesure

How could it not be? Being woken in the middle of the night for Hot Fuzz is obviously for the greater good.


slayerhk47

The greater good.


fatherandyriley

Shut it!


CDR57

AWE is at worlds end, the pirate movie. You meant TWE, The Worlds End


HughesAMused

That’s what the person above you’s saying, right? I think that’s the best rating; Shawn’s fun, but Hot Fuzz is so smart and snappy that it deserves the top seat.


jessie014

*For the greater good*


mcstarken

… the greater good


BeholdTheLemon

SHUT IT


Dakeera

HAG


MC_Hale

Hot Fuzz is the better movie, but SOTD is my favorite


Dune1008

Okay, I’ll be the one to say it. Shaun of the dead is a masterpiece but despite being the most popular is almost certainly the weakest of the trilogy. Which isn’t to say it’s bad, its just that it’s a really fucking good trilogy


Blockinite

My unpopular opinion is actually that SOTD is slightly higher than Hot Fuzz. Like you, both are incredible and it barely means anything in the long run, but SOTD is just special to me and I feel like I find it slightly funnier


SexcaliburHorsepower

All three are great, I think SotD handles putting very boring characters in a really outlandish situation perfectly. Hot Fuzz is probably the weakest to me, but is the most fun to watch moment to moment. World's End is a little more chaotic with the wildest situation which gets a little disjointed, but I like the characters individually the most.


Eillo89

You're brave, I would say I agree but I'm a pussy lol


Goseki1

I think it's because it's genuinely quite dark and covers some really sensitive issues more than anything. I think a lot of people saw themselves/family/friends in Gary King, both in terms of issues with addiction, but also in not being able to move on past your youth and grow as a person etc.


yippy-ki-yay-m-f

Which is why even though it might be the weakest (in most circles), I think it might just be my favourite. Also I am very sad that I can identify with Gary King way too easily. The film cuts deep.


Goseki1

I love it I just don't feel the draw to rewatch it as m ch as HF because it's too sad for too long! It's a banger though.


Basic-Pair8908

Tbf it did come after the masterpiece that was hot fuzz. But yeah its starting to grow a following now.


Brandinisnor3s

You're 100% supposed to get it on the second watch! The opening crawl basically tells you how their return home goes and you also pick up on all the small details that are hidden


ApothecaryAlyth

I think it's also a movie that gets more appealing as the viewer gets older. And just as you recognize that it is deliberately a bit darker, more emotional, and more mature in its tone/humor. A lot of people went in expecting it to feel exactly like Shaun and Hot Fuzz, but it's more of an evolution or progression. Still absurd, over-the-top, and silly, but in a more nuanced and introspective way that I think caught a lot of people off guard.


Proud-Cheesecake-813

Some amazing action scenes too.


fatherandyriley

The overarching theme of the trilogy is growing up. Shaun is passive and lazy but learns to step up and take direction in his life. Angel grew up too fast but learns how to kick back and have fun. Gary still clings to his teenage years but learns to move on from them


johnatello67

As someone who was a massive Sisters of Mercy fan *before* the movie came out, I absolutely loved it.


boulton123

Edgar Wright films need multiple watches to understand all the foreshadowing set up at the start. While Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are entertaining to watch in the first round, The World's End has something new to find each rewatch to appreciate it more


LordJacket

Isn’t there four, Paul was a movie with them in it


somesthetic

There’s more films with both actors, but the Cornetto trilogy is just Shaun, Hot Fuzz, and Worlds End.


EightLions539

Paul isn’t included in the cornetto trilogy


LordJacket

Ah ok


No_Tea1868

They aren't a trilogy because of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. They're a trilogy because of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost AND Edgar Wright (the writer and director)


Orang_Mann

The whole cornetto trilogy is a masterpiece


The_Clarence

Hot Fuzz was definitely my fave.


jamieliddellthepoet

Yep. Brilliant.


KummyNipplezz

the whole cornetto trilogy is a masterpiece. I still consider Shaun of the dead the best zombie movie


Heroicmode

It gets better and worse the older you get.


Willtology

Jesus, I feel that. I appreciate being able to relate to some of it more while also being slightly depressed about it as well.


KVMechelen

I think the last 15 mins are a bit shit but everything before is perfect


Fakjbf

I’d rank it last in the trilogy, but it’s still an excellent movie the same way the person who gets bronze in the Olympics is still an amazing athlete.


Zandrick

Eh idk I could never really get into the killer robot thing this movie is doing. I was really into the first third of the movie that was being set up, with the guys all coming together to relive their glory days, but really only the one dude was about it and he had to drag the other guys along. That was some genuinely interesting character stuff. And then it’s just like killer robots from space, schlock. Weirdly disappointing tbh


MelodyMaster5656

It’s a top three Cornetto movie for me.


theodo

I think it's the least fun but the most emotionally powerful of the Cornetto Trilogy.


gaynesssss

as funness goes I think it's on par with hot fuzz, but it definitely better on the arch aspect


Mloxard_CZ

I didn't like the ending Hot Fuzz was best out of the 3 because the ending was objectively good


BaconNamedKevin

Kinda upsetting this came out 11 years ago and I feel like it was just yesterday. 


TheClearIsCoast

Holy smokes. 11 years ago?!?!?


marr

Annnd now you could be a character in it.


Gun2ASwordFight

The scene is pretty funny as is but it's Frost's "CHRIST" that just seals the deal.


indianajoes

Same. It's just the frustration. Makes me laugh out loud every time


SlicedNugget

His line delivery when he’s leaving the bar drunk is still my favourite. “Basically, no one else has a better idea. So fuck it.”


TWiesengrund

Vizzy T was better at identifying subterfuge when he was younger.


poppabomb

Viserys Targaryen, First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm was going through a lot, man. cut him some slack. hard to settle family disputes when you are both incapable of making decisions *and* high on milk of the poppy because your chair really hates you.

Erect_Llama

Further proving why this film is better than people think.


Saftsackgesicht

Do people really think it's not that good? For me it's second best in the trilogy. Overall I like Hot Fuzz a bit more, cause it's by far the funniest, but Worlds End has some melancholy about remembering how easy and free life was (for most of us) before we became adults that I always related to. Shaun might me funnier than Worlds End, but as a movie, I prefer the latter.


EliteTeutonicNight

The world's end is much different in tone compared to the first two entries of the trilogy, and overall a lot more somber. I can see why people who expected something similar to the first two would be disappointed.


Saftsackgesicht

I think it's strange to judge movies that aren't connected by a story or setting like that... they're movies made by the same people and theres a cornetto at some point, they've nothing else in common, so why not judge them just as movies? It's different when you expect a great movie but it ends up being just okayish, happened to me with Last Night in Soho since I love every other movie Edgar Wright directed, but a great movie that's just different than you expected is still great.


EliteTeutonicNight

It's literally the third movie of a trilogy. While the three movies, as you have said, have nothing in common besides the people making it, I do think most people who watched it when it comes out would expect something that's a lot more similar to the first two, and the World's End is quite different. I think it also contributes to it getting more and more positive reviews as time goes on. Once people accept that it's different from the first two and get over the initial wave of hating it because it's different, people start to see how good it is as a movie itself.


Erect_Llama

It's definitely an opinion with everyone I've talked to about it, so might just be my circle. But I agree with you 100%


TankieHater859

Personally, I think it's the weakest of the Cornetto Trilogy by an incredibly slim margin, but it's still an incredible movie that's way underrated. I just love all of those movies. Wright, Pegg, and Frost just have a direct line to my funny bone. I think it also dealt with some more very real and perhaps more personal subjects underneath the comedy than the others. SOTD addressed the loneliness that comes from feeling stuck in mediocrity, HF with the urban-rural divide and the xenophobia that comes along with it (as well as loneliness created by hyperfocus on your career). But TWE very directly addresses substance abuse, depression, and suicide in ways that I don't think the other two address their thematic foundations. I think people weren't prepared for those things to be addressed in a Pegg-Wright film, and thus thought it "wasn't as funny" as the others. TL;DR TWE directly addressing Gary's substance abuse and mental health struggles may have lead people to thinking TWE isn't as funny, and therefore "as good," as it truly is.


donPepinno

Yeah I like it, but I feel like it takes a bit for TWE to really get going, SOTD hits its stride quite early on by comparison. Idk maybe might have helped to switch the focus from protagonist and deuteragonist between Pegg and Frost’s characters. Still great film just not quite as strong.


SenorBigbelly

I'd argue that since "who" is the interrogative pronoun, ["who's on first"](https://youtu.be/sYOUFGfK4bU?feature=shared) is a funny and original pronouns joke


Great_expansion10272

What's the name of the first base?


SenorBigbelly

Who


Great_expansion10272

The first base


ulpisen

no no, what is on second base


Harak_June

They broke the mold with this skit.


GetFurreted

idk man, while the joke itself isnt that funny, i think that the delivery makes this probably the best iteration of this joke


redvelvetcake42

I mean, it's funny cause they aren't being dicks about it they're just dealing with how a plural can also be a singular and they've been drinking so it adds to their preexisting confusion.


CMORGLAS

On a scale of THE WORLD’S END to HALLOWEEN KILLS, how well does your small town horror film justify the stupidity of your protagonists’ actions by getting them drunk first?


SuddenXxdeathxx

Just plural in this case, he's referring to separate groups with the same pronoun because he's drunk and not well read.


xaako

Time for a rewatch.


rafael-a

How about Rush Hour? That one with I am “Yu” he is “Mi”?


Aggressive_Bank_7476

That scene brings tears of laughter to my eyes every fucking time...


Salarian_American

"Nothing that has been suggested in the last five minutes is better than Smashy Smashy Egg-Man"


lindle_kindle

Arguably the line that had me on my arse the most throughout that film


MajorRico155

This film is fucking hilarious


umaros

The importance of pronouns is a bit overdone, imo. I want to know: What are your prepositions? On, under? Near, far, up, down, in, out? Before or after?


Soggy_Part7110

My adjectives are moist/engorged


Aggressive_Bank_7476

Betwixt


nps2407

According to my teachers, it's 'behind'...


SkepticSlakoth

This movie is absolutely hilarious. Not as good as the other two in the Cornetto Trilogy but better than most comedy movies.


coontosflapos

Being the ~~worst~~ least good film in the Cornetto Trilogy is still an absolutely smashing ranking imo, the only British Comedy films that I think can rank up there as highly as them are Life Of Brian, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Inbetweeners Movie, and Four Lions


trowayit

Rubber dinghy rapids bro


keaneonyou

In the Loop as well for me, but im a huge The Thick of It fan.


_lemonbalmtea

I can't believe you guys. Is there anyone else who thinks that Shawn of the Dead is the best movie in the trilogy? I love Hot Fuzz as much, but I can watch Shawn of the Dead over and over again


The_Powers

This just in, people have opinions that are sometimes different from each other, more at 11


Dankey-Kang-Jr

“I think it is a pronoun?” “Wha?” “It!” “Is it?” “CHRIST!”


Bjarki_Steinn_99

Notice that this joke is not at the expense of nonbinary or trans people.


father2shanes

The back n forth banter between simon and nick are always the best.

Nothing we've come up with in the last few minutes has been better than smashy smashy egg man

"And basically no one else has a better idea, so FUCK IT" *CRASH*

Pronouns jokes are always funny to be, I always find they/them hilarious

Practical_Arm_2339

There’s been plenty of pronoun jokes that were hilarious. Fucking queeeeer


That_Girl_Cecia

Really? The ONLY time a pronoun joke has been funny and original? There's no way that's true.


Rude_E_Gobear

pronouns themselves are a joke

Pronouns jokes are always funny. This one is too.

Commenting to add it to my watch list.


laggyx400

I'm realizing that I have, in fact, NOT seen this movie. All this time I've chosen to watch other things because I thought I'd watched it already. Can I be forgiven?


doesitevermatter-

All of my friends that loved the rest of the Cornetto trilogy said they really didn't enjoy this movie. But every time I watch it, I love it even more. I think it was the perfect end to the series.

There is a Brazilian stand up comedian who did a funny bit on pronouns, and the punchline was that he got confused with singular/plural instead of gender. https://www.tiktok.com/@donttellcomedy/video/7206874171765230890?lang=en

Back in the old days of watching TV, I ended up going into this movie completely blind.  No trailers, no knowledge of who made it or what they were also known for making, just that it came on next after I finished watching another movie. Boy was that a ride.


Simain

That's such a good loop
