I will see your call, and raise.
I have a fan back chair very similar to hers. It was my mom’s. She always referred to it as the morticia chair. She was big on Halloween and Adam’s family and stuff (married my dad on Halloween dressed as Frankenstein and the bride of Frankenstein)
Doesn’t that show suggest a romantic relationship between the preteen Lydia and the adult(?) Beetlejuice?
Not that I recall, but the mere fact that they're depicted as getting along with each other (consistently!) throughout the series is puzzling to anyone who, uh, actually saw the movie.
Is this trolling? You have potentially 80s, 90s, and 00s mixed up, and then whatever the lower left is.
they are indian probably (someone else said the same), and i remember these shows airing in 00s. 1,3 being indian productions, and 2 and 4 as dubs (not sure about 2, but it is likely spread, 4 was a very famous dub here)
2 is Richie rich. Yep big in India/ Pakistan in the 00s all of this. The third was an art show.
But are you old enough to Have you ever, ever felt like this?
That strange things happen, are you going round the twist
I recognize the Richie Rich cartoon on the top right. Don't know the others.
Bottom right is Takeshi's Castle. It used to air here in 2008 or so.
Reruns of an '80s Japanese game show commentated by some Brits is such a weird concept, but it became quite popular.
The guy at the bottom is M.A.D. (Music Art Dance) my Indian colleague watches it in background like all 8 hours he is in office.
I'm guessing it's Indian.
Why does that Richie Rich image look like someone took that frame from an episode and asked AI to redraw it? The eyes kinda look nightmare fuel.
Show some respect. That cartoon was poorly-drawn by hand.
It was a weird show. I remember seeing one episode and thinking as a child "oh, this is not worth my time."
Lower right is MXC

Kenny Blankenship, Vic Romano and Captain Teneal
So it is a dub of Takeshi's Castle.
Right you are Ken.
Recut too
Can't forget Guy LeDouche!
Ohjeez, right, right!
The original show was Takeshi's Castle from Japan in the '80s. It was shown in the UK with Craig Charles from Red Dwarf commentating but to be honest that wasn't as funny as the version you linked to.
Thanks to you. I couldn't remember more than the M and the C. And it was killing me. Hilarious show. Terrible on a few moral levels, but I never claimed to be a saint.
Those names with stay with my till my death bed. Don't mind at all.
Bottom right could as well be Olimpiadas do Faustão
And you're that american, probably.
Takeshi's Castle is Japanese, kthx.
Right you are, Ken!
Ooh, that's gotta hurt!
Yes, and it was televised even in Germany. But that's not the point. The post is US defaultism par excellence, not because it depicts US-american TV shows but because it defaults to a US-american perspective and audience on an international platform.
for those of us who may have no idea what is going on here doing to being insufficiently old and/or american, how does it default to a us-american perspective?
Seems more like projection on your part, kiddo. 🫡
You must be fun at parties.
And I would bet that the original OP meant the American-dubbed version Most Extreme Elimination Challenge that was on TV in the early 2000s.
It's been dubbed and rebroadcast in a LOT of forms all over the world.
So have millions of other shows, but that doesn't change any of their origins, FFS.
OP is probably Indian or at least from a Hindi speaking household.
As another commenter here pointed out the show in the bottom left is M.A.D. (music, art, and dance). It was produced in India and originally in Hindi, starting in 2005. I can't find any information about international syndication for that show but it would have been weird for it to be on TV in the US at that time.
The Richie Rich cartoon in the top right first aired in the US from 1982-84 according to IMDB. I can't be certain if there were repeats (or "reruns") of it shown in the US but if there were its unlikely to have been a big part of kids' childhoods in the mid '00s. One thing I did find was a bunch of Hindi dubs of the show when I searched "Richie Rich India" so its more likely a Hindi language channel would have been broadcasting those dubs around the time that M.A.D. was on the air.
Rahul is also a popular name in India and the username Rahuliy is probably some variation of that.
Don't get me wrong I understand the frustration around the US centric nature of a lot of platforms and some of the communities here on Lemmy but that probably isn't the case here.
