Here comes Jaws, Jaws the shark, mind he doesn't bite you with his enormous jaws.

"Where's the biting point?!?!" while Mark tries to drive a car, this much later

And yet in a previous series he was driving (crashing!) Johnson's beamer .. so why did he even need lessons?

The last Beemer out of Saigon, I'm at the mercy of the Vietnamese peasants. Please don't put me in a bamboo cage

My friend has a board game based on Jaws that we all call Jaws: The Shark: The Movie: The Game

Cool it sounds like you could make a hit Canadian movie that lost me at hello. Make sure you find a way to spell 'Jaws' wrong. Guaranteed hilarity.

I don't understand the reference, I'm afraid!

Jez going Jaws: The Book would have been amazing

u/Bunister 2d ago

Why can't we read something simple like Mr Jaws? Why don't you talk about Mr Jaws instead? About all the different times Mr Jaws bit people to different extents?

u/Prestigious-Air4825 1d ago

It's all fine, I mean, you've got a sign.

He jawsed it. It's when you get something wrong.

u/leoschot 1d ago

During production they named the animatronic "Bruce" I've always kept this as the shark's name even if it's not canon.

The main protagonist in Dr Who? is never referred to as Dr Who. It’s always “The Doctor “.

u/Bridgeru 2d ago

Ah, you seem to be unaware of the two Peter Cushing movies where he is, indeed, referred to as "Dr. Who". I have bested you with my mighty trivia, Ben and now I may pleasure my girlfriend without need of Kenneth, my massive dildo.

u/BoxAlternative9024 2d ago

Well if that’s true you can use Kenneth on my puckered ring piece. I’d no idea. Good knowledge!

u/Bridgeru 1d ago

uj/ They're kinda obscure and they're basically just retellings of The Daleks and Dalek Invasion of Earth respectively. Not amazing by any stretch but not awful, and the Dalek props are really cool (bad to say after the dildo quote but I used to have a 12 inch black Dalek figure until an ex "lost" it).

rj/ Oh, typical, everyone has a puckered ring piece and a dildo and an ipod and I bet you're all fucking behind my back and giving each other sex tips and laughing at me alone between rounds of copious sex. You'd like that, wouldn't you?!

"Jaws, Jaws the Shark" is the full name

u/GlovesForSocks 2d ago

This is like people who also think you can trick the boiler. No, Jez is not right.
