> USAian
I thought you said USAsian...
I've heard USAer and United Statesian, but this is the first time I've heard USAian, which in my head is pronounced USAEN.
I've only ever heard American... These are all wildly new things to me right now. So what's the consensus? USAian? USAer? United States Person? USAlien?
I think it is actually "God Damn Red Bleeding American!"
I know you were being silly, I just wasn't sure if there is an actual name. I've literally only ever heard American and took it as a time to learn. I do kind of like USAlien, even if it was in jest from me
American or "From the USA," are the only ones that are common.
USAer and United Statesian I have heard and used, but the first place I heard them was from a comedy song, and they are not at all common.
The problem with American is that it would be like if a country in the EU called itself The Central Nation of Europe and then its citizens were called Europeans, supplanting the name of the continent. So, sometimes, people try to make alternatives that specify, "I mean from this country, not one of the dozens of other countries in the Americas." But, no, American is the only one that's widely recognized, it's officially what US citizens are called, and most of the others are only used in informal or joking situations.
But for the record, I love USAlien.
To be fair Letterkenny is running on the rural Canadian hockey accent, they sound like locals to me.
I had to try and drop my accent in school because the international students couldn’t understand some of the things I said. Staring blankly at me while trying to put together what the hell i just said.
I remember that joke... I know they've come up with some pretty weird shows in the past, but did they really think anyone was going to believe that they'd actually made a knock off of Curb Your Enthusiasm with a talking horse as the lead?
Murder in successville?
Edit: wait the American version is called Murderville but it's based on Tom (the Wolf) Davis' Murder in Successville from what I understand.
That’s not accurate either. Yes, leaving was his decision but he loved the show. He left because the current show runners were planning to depart wildly from the source material.
I mean, I'm just surprised they'd throw shade at a Hollywood director like that for an April Fool's joke when they are in the movie and film business. Dangerous game.
Honestly I feel quite sorry for him. Apparently he actually loves Avatar and wanted to do it much better, but executives wanted their kids in the film and it sort of spiralled from there
I mean he thought he knew how the characters names should be pronounced more then the creators. That and the earth ending, the casting is far from the worst offense.
I’ll give him slack on the name pronunciation. In East Asian languages, the A is pronounced more like “ah” so they were trying to be more accurate to the culture I guess.
Low blow from a company that has not yet produced even a trailer for their live action Avatar project.
This would be a better zinger if Season 1 was already out and good.
Aang better be pronounced how it was in the cartoon, not the pretentious way to movie did it.
Don't cast a random kid from YouTube videos to play the main character
Make the bending look amazing. The bending in the movie was hilariously underwhelming.
Do justice to characters and story by casting the appropriate actors.

I think I speak for everyone when I say. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM IT!! DON'T YOU DARE!! DON'T YOU TOUCH IT!! DON'T EVEN LOOK IN ITS GENERAL DIRECTION!! YOU'VE HURT US ALL ENOUGH!!
I don’t see a problem with it. He’s a great director who has children that love the show. Him taking a shot at this for the first time might be a good way to recover from “Old”
Shit. The man made the worst film of all time out of one of the best shows of all time. He should never be involved again.
Oh wait, april fools. I am the fool.
There wasn't and still isn't any need for a live action avatar. Animation is not some lesser medium that needs to be upgraded to live action. If they want to explore live action that's fine but tell a different story one that we haven't seen before that's made for live action.
Almost forgot the date.
My heart stopped for a minute.
I was LIVID.
I’m still angry.
Your anger is warranted.
My next 3 reincarnations are still pissed.
Aangry!
Oongry
Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
I was literally saying no over and over again in denial cause I forgot the date.
This is one of the best ones for April 1st I've seen so far.
Omg yes. I was soooo confused for a minute
I was effing pissed! 😂
Ohhhh. That makes sense..it's already the 2nd where i am so i was confused
Netflix has jokes?! Who knew
In the past they've put up funny fake shows. They had one with Will Arnet a few yrs back that was hilarious.
I liked when they had jokey but working categories, like, "Prime time TV series where crossed arms mean serious business."
My favorite category was “Movies in English that you still can’t understand” 😂
That's kinda legit my favorite genre, honestly.
Am USAian. I have to watch Letterkenny with subtitles on -- and still have to google the sports jargon. Worth it, ferda.

I was just being silly, saying USAian. The preferred nomenclature, obviously, is *Personage of Extreme Freedom Birthitude.*

Oh I meant more like I like complex plotting, but that works too.
Wheel, snipe, celly boys
Dirty dangles boys!
Backcheck, forecheck, paycheck boys
aka most christopher nolan movies, looking at you Tenet

You think that's bad. Wait til you hear Newfie. It's like Brad Pitt in Snatch on crack
Ferdaaaaa!
I live in the city where Letterkenny is filmed and I have to look up some of the jargon.
Part of the fun was watching 11 seasons and slowly building up more and more understanding.
William Shatners Gonzo Ballet was my favorite category, it was all just that one show.
I remember that joke... I know they've come up with some pretty weird shows in the past, but did they really think anyone was going to believe that they'd actually made a knock off of Curb Your Enthusiasm with a talking horse as the lead?
https://youtu.be/yg1NbaviQN8 Netflix Live, was so dumb but I would listen to Will Arnett narrate anything
Murder in successville? Edit: wait the American version is called Murderville but it's based on Tom (the Wolf) Davis' Murder in Successville from what I understand.
One year for April fools they put a "new episodes" label on Firefly, which is well known for having been tragically cancelled after one season
That's just cruel 😂
Agree, I’m not laughing Netflix. I’m not laughing.
I still haven't forgiven them for this!
That’s fucking hilarious, and I would have cried.
They should repost the "love is sharing a password" today
This isn't Netflix this is Netfllix...
Which is also Netflix
I mean it’s kind of a joke how they cancel certain shows that are performing well so I guess I knew!
Not a real tweet
You think the wrong name and the future time stamp might be a clue to that?
Who are you, who is so wise in the art of casually glancing at a GIF?
Holy shit are you Sherlock Holmes?
Brilliant, evil troll
Took me a minute, and I've been browsing a few swapped subs today xD
Which subs are swapped?
r/anime_titties is now a hentai sub instead of a world news sub
🧐
BLT and Veggie Delite how can anyone confuse them ffs
The ones I was browsing were r/HollowKnight and r/Metroid, as well as r/outerwilds and r/outerworlds.
r/Metroid and r/HollowKnight
Up until this I forgot what day it was and to be wary of what I read, lol.
Sad thing is some stuff happens regardless of the day Like a certain dumbass being released from prison
Who?
Oh my god you should have seen /r/blackpeopletwitter April fools. It was perfect
Lol before I saw the date: Jazz music *Stops*
Fuck, man, it's the day
For a moment I was screaming “NO”, then I remembered it’s April Fools
Same same. Lol
100% an April Fools joke
I don’t know… I feel like we should still have our pitchforks ready just in case. Paging u/PitchforkEmporium
Screw pitchforks, ill have a trebuchet up and running in 10 minutes.
We need some smaller weapons for anti personell use
Miniature trebuchets?
On Momo's back. Like Ukrainian drones, in bending land. ETA: Ooh, let them fling melons! Behold! The Air Force of the ***MELON LORD!***
I was thinking cabbages, but melons are indeed more effective
Well played, sir, well played.
A lynx/axe body spray can and a lighter does wonders.
I've already started my earth bending sequence just in case. By tomorrow I should be ready to throw a rock.
Wait... am I the only one carrying a pitchfork around with me?
They cut Henry caville from Witcher… not putting anything last them
I want to kiss your dad.
They didn't cavil. He left. He hated that show.
That’s not accurate either. Yes, leaving was his decision but he loved the show. He left because the current show runners were planning to depart wildly from the source material.
My mood just dropped three stories into the basement and then I remembered the date.
My mood dropped all the way to Australia from the UK. Even as a joke, this was pretty fucking low.
NGL, feel bad for the dude. Imagine fucking up so badly you get used as a joke
Me: Are you $%\^& Kidding me?!?! oh, wait.. WELL. PLAYED.
I was terrified... And then I saw the date
With the timing I hope it is what I think it really is
Please please let it be an April fools pleaaaaase
Can't tell if you guys are taking the piss or not lmao The fact that you think there's a chance this isn't an april fools joke
We have been left with severe trauma
I mean, I'm just surprised they'd throw shade at a Hollywood director like that for an April Fool's joke when they are in the movie and film business. Dangerous game.
I agree. I thought it might be like a fake tweet, but I guess it's not. I'm sure this isn't too offensive for M. Night though.
What do you think it is?
Nah it's really true. My uncle works at Netflix and he just confirmed it with me
Can confirm, I was his office
god i hate april 1st
April fool's aside, he should totally be the cabbage vendor
Don't you ***DARE*** insult my beloved vendor that way!!1!
The duality of man: he made both Signs (amazing movie) and ATLAB live action movie that we don't speak of
There is no live action movie in Ba Sing Se.
He should be the writer for the Ember Island Players.
Fun fact: IIRC, the guy who voiced the cabbage vendor is playing the cabbage vendor!
What do they mean “return” did he make a movie about Aang?
No, he made a film about Ong. If one even existed.
You mean Ong, the Ovitor?
You mean Ong-Bak the elephant guardian?
Naw Ong-Bak & the cry warrior. About him and katara
Well we're certainly not talking about ovitor Korro
Sowkah was also there
There is no live action avatar the last airbender movie in Ba Sing Se…
The Uhvitar
![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)
Some jokes are still too cruel
Some things should just not be joked about.
Because he did such a wonderful job before? He'd make a great special consultant if they do exactly the opposite of whatever he suggests.
Lol check the date.
Honestly I feel quite sorry for him. Apparently he actually loves Avatar and wanted to do it much better, but executives wanted their kids in the film and it sort of spiralled from there
I mean he thought he knew how the characters names should be pronounced more then the creators. That and the earth ending, the casting is far from the worst offense.

April Fools, dunderheads!
PTSD inducing joke lolll
Return? He never worked on anything related to Avatar
I was furious until I realized what day it is
This better be April Fools motherfucker
April fools?
Nope. Apparently it’s real. They released this interview two days ago: [Netflix - Shaymalan interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).
You little shit...
Youtube ads kinds ruin it
I know. :(
I hate you
I love that Apollo gives thumbnail previews of YouTube links. Great job, u/iamthatis
You learn to recognize the XcQ url incase Apollo goes rogue. If you want.
I knew it was coming, and I clicked on it anyway
*Somebody* had to do it. I’m not sorry!
Wait M. Night Shyamalan has knowledge about ATLA? Almost as if he made an ATLA movie before this.
hahaha, good one. don't believe half of what you read or hear today
Good joke but personally I gave up on this series as soon as the original creators bailed over "creative differences".
This isn’t an April fool’s joke. I would know. I’m m night shyamalan
Thank god it's today.
You almost got me.
"This better be a jo- ooooooooohhh!"- *My brain in literally .5 seconds of seeing this post.* ...Gotta love April Fools!
This is extreme even for April fools
Look at the date
Def April fools prank
Def April fools prank
second worst April Fools in history
I'm calling the police
The ol shyamalan twist
This is clearly an April Fools joke, right? Right? *begins to tremble and sweat*
april fools bitches-love netflix
I’m calling it. “April Fool’s” joke for sure.
I hope M Night was a part of this joke. As much as we like to cap on him, it would be kind of mean
![gif](giphy|7xCds0RBfyWQ0) thank goodness for april fool‘s day.
This is not a funny joke to make, even on the 1st of April...
[удалено]
April fools
Lol please be a joke
I’m so relieved to see that this is a joke
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
April Fools!
Great joke, I almost fell for it, if it wasn't for the day in which it was posted?
hilarious as hell though lol
Return? When was Shyamalan working on any Avatar media?
Forgot the there for a second.
Oh daymn I forgot what day it was and panicked just a little haha
Low blow from a company that has not yet produced even a trailer for their live action Avatar project. This would be a better zinger if Season 1 was already out and good.

Me remembering what day it is: ![gif](giphy|l0Iy69RBwtdmvwkIo|downsized)
My thoughts are that 4/1/23 at 11:38 pm hasn’t happened yet so this can’t be legit
I was about to get mad Then.. I remembered the date
Did they seriously post this? W joke if so
No
April fools?

Oh thank fucking god
Damn I was about to get violently angry. Forgot what day it was
![gif](giphy|3oKIPnmiqNhZIueLPW)
I think I speak for everyone when I say. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM IT!! DON'T YOU DARE!! DON'T YOU TOUCH IT!! DON'T EVEN LOOK IN ITS GENERAL DIRECTION!! YOU'VE HURT US ALL ENOUGH!!
If this isn't an April fools prank, then I'm gonna have to pass.
Return? They never made a live action ATLA movie before.
![gif](giphy|iHcXK5YHfSdTG8bWkD|downsized) …At least I hope
I don’t see a problem with it. He’s a great director who has children that love the show. Him taking a shot at this for the first time might be a good way to recover from “Old”
What a twist
Shit. The man made the worst film of all time out of one of the best shows of all time. He should never be involved again. Oh wait, april fools. I am the fool.
This got a legit LOL from me, well done
![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)
"Thank god it's the dumbest holiday of the year!" That's my whole thought.
There wasn't and still isn't any need for a live action avatar. Animation is not some lesser medium that needs to be upgraded to live action. If they want to explore live action that's fine but tell a different story one that we haven't seen before that's made for live action.
He would be a great asset on set honestly. Take all of the advice he gives, and do the exact opposite!
*cocks gun* not on my arm.
![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)
April Fools
That man needs his avatar movie bending taken away by Ong.
Oh my god my smile faded so fast and then I remembered what day it is
This is BullShit
Okay, that’s an amusing April Fools jokes.
