"Certainly not, and I resent the implication that I'm a one dimensional, bread-obsessed electrical appliance" may just be the greatest comeback from a toaster in television history.
Somehow I had it *certain* in my head that the toaster delivered that line with 'would you like a currant bun?' It's essentially the same thing but it's a different cadence, and now the real line sounds wrong to my ears 😂 (Still love it though!)
When you get a chance ,look up the ironic and hilarious story of the loss of the original head of David Hanson's tribute PDK robot based on the personality,writings and face of renowned science fiction author Philip K Dick ,who wrote "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" And the storyline that inspired "Bladerunner". P.S,PDK is still somewhere out there. I'd like to think that he's happily solar recharging out on some beach with a cute android companion. Maybe one of the original Alice,Mia or 48 Sophia The Robot prototype models or human personality program replica Bina Rosenblatt.
@@YamiOni I'm more of a Muggy man myself. Muggy is self-aware. He knows how crazy and obsessed he sounds, because he was programmed to be self-aware and frustrated by it. And yet, Muggy never fails to come through with a clean mug. Except when you tell him to scrap them. Also Muggy never burns the toast and laughs maniacally at your disappointment.
Yep. I met her at a convention last year, she was super nice. Apparently Norman, as great as he is, is hard work and kind of grumpy. I'd love to see Hattie back in the role in a future series.
@@AtheAetheling you can tell in interviews, Norman Lovett is a pain in the arse. He also complains that Hattie Hayridge just copied his interpretation of the character.
@@chrisbirch4150 Wasn't she supposed to do that? She was hired to play the same character. They chose her because she had similar delivery during her stand-up routine. It would have been annoying if she took the liberty of changing Holly.
It's kind of funny to hear Hattie Hayridge use her actual accent without all the inflections she normally does to play Holly's more 'natural' ditzy persona I kind of wish we could see her again - she had some really funny moments in the original run
She was my favourite Holly as a kid since I didn't really "get" the first two seasons and didn't watch them much. Shame she seems to be totally ignored by the show now when she was such a huge presence throughout its golden era.
Not really. It is a silly trope to depict women as intelligent relative to men, same way it is to depict women as goofy. The point should not be tropes about gender in Western media, you should just have someone who is depicted as feminine but prone to the same unavoidable decay as masculine characters. My criticism is not that you enjoyed Holly depicted as a clever AI woman, but that you think being feminine should retcon the decay mentioned since season 1. Another issue, showing you misunderstand feminism, is that you do not see that people would be annoyed if they made a male version more intelligent, meaning you types are contradicting the goals of equality and therefore the stated core goals of the feminist movement. Women should be depicted as being capable of intelligence, or lack thereof, otherwise a pedestal effect occurs, which is connected to involuntary celibacy when ill young men figure out women are just human and as capable of virue AND defect as men. You are not being orthodox, you are being reactionary. Tut tut.
@@SamMichaelComedyIt is more my criticism of modern leftism, as whether or not you support whatever core values shared by both Anarchists and Marxists, various identity politics issues are too splintered and so are ultimately self defeating, unless used by socialists or tolerated by national socialists who believe in "accelerationism." My home life is fine, but I wanted to criticise you in a way that made absolutely clear I have no problem with intelligent women, but only with that television trope as it has it's origins in reactionary identity politics. I myself am not a Marxist, I lean to the right, but I prefer the Castro ilk of leftist over the modern liberal "yass queen kind." Though my comments may seem bizarre on a clip from a comedy, it would make more sense if you look up "a marxist critique of identity politics", and if you look into how idpol has steadily infected popular culture. If I get even one person to take an interest in sociology and political science I will be happy, even if they only think over this 2 years after calling me a git on the spectrum. This is also covertly satirical and tongue in cheek. Later dudes.
@@333angeleyesBecause of her gender you were mad? You have a problem with the much admired male actor? Besides men are fired in showbiz, it happens...you want women to be..coddled? Seems condescending to women to coddle em but okay not surprised by your nonsense anymore.
"oh very well here is my second question... would you like a crumpet?" LOL crumpets have EVERYTHING to do with chaos theory and predicting weather cycles
It's true, dear comment librarians! See, says right here in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, Aleph-Quintet Edition (I'm from a universe where music was weaponized during the 60s, don't ask), right here under the Do's and Don'ts of Breakfast Warfare.. "There is a strong chance that deploying unbuttered breads in times of quantum conflict will result in all of the native primary atmosphere turning into a ceramic compound, not unlike the kind used in the manufacture of sinks, a recognized universal qualifier." hm.. maybe Talkie was from my universe and was looking to make sure Holly hadn't gone crazy and asked for a crumpet without first requesting butter.
Is nobody seriously going to mention that in the book, the toaster asked Holly who was god, and the answer was 'Lister' .... and then Holly nearly blew up?!
@@bigcoryjones2126 There were four books. Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers (1989), Better Than Life (1990), Last Human (1995) Backwards (1996) I mean, I only read/knew about them because my dad passed down his copies to me as a kid
IQ of 12386, can perform all kinds of complex astro-navigation, can break lightspeed knows the meaning of life, can't tell the difference between 345 years and 3.45 minutes or figure out how to save herself. seems legit!
I loved the conversations with the supporting characters as much as the ones with the main cast, and Hattie looked a hundred times better with her hair slicked back than she ever did with that awful pudding bowl fringe she sported. Shame it was only temporary.
It's not 4 seconds, it's 0.04 minutes. I could not live with myself if I did not give you this critical information that will change how you see the universe forever.
These days when the algorithm recommends this clip to me I start to wonder to myself, "hmm...what ridiculously underpowered question have I asked someone who would probably prefer something a bit more at their (higher) level?" - but I have about as much intelligence as that toaster I'd say.
I had a very brief hope that she would answer with a unified theory of quantum mechanics and classical physics, but then I remembered this is just a British sci-fi comedy.
@@DarksaberForce Red Green is the only one that immediately comes to mind. But since I learned it was recorded in USA, I'm not sure if it is authentic Canadian.
@@Pravdacz-tp8zu Also miss that this 12000 IQ computer can't tell the difference between minutes and years until a toaster gives her cause to check and that she can't come up with a better solution to her predicament than turning herself off and shutting the whole ship down even tho she can apparently marry quantum mechanics and classical physics, break light speed AND come up with a complex planetary pool shot in under a second!
Wait... So... does the Talky Toaster actually come up with the bread items it suggests - lichen a Food-a-Rac-a-Cycle? Or do you have to have the stuff on hand? Because if 'e's got a toasted bacon, egg & cheese sammich in 'is guttiwuts, we'll nom one with extreme prejudice.
