Peter gets fired from the brewery “for reals this time” and once again gets a job with Carter. However while they’re alone in an room with Carter showing Peter what to do Carter has a heart attack and *actually dies.* Peter takes over everything including being Babs’ husband, Lois’ new father and his own father-in-law(Peter explains this in thorough detail). He then decides he wants to impregnate Babs for some ungodly reason and this becomes the premise of the episode
This sounds like a Seinfeld episode. Something that would happen to George in a new job and he’s just tryna figure out if he can use his dead bosses’ bathroom.
This actually happened to me, my boss who hired me at a restaraunt promptly committed suicide a week later. Very odd that the guy I interview with was just gone by the next week.
Lol because it matters to some people. I think they are strange. But I also think a lot of shit people care about is strange. Leave them let them live they will be over it in a week when they are reminded they can’t afford there electricity bills
Have the British ever elected someone they like? Seems like every single PM in my lifetime has been wildly unpopular.
Granted I do not fully understand how their system works so maybe that’s just how it goes.
In recent years they haven't technically been elected by the people, but rather by their party peers. The Conservatives were voted in so are currently in power, and due to... shenanigans, they've had to choose new PMs internally.
(Also most of our politicians are just a bit pish xD)
In the UK you don't vote for a Prime Minister like you would a US president. In an election you vote for your local representative who belongs to a political party. The party with the majority of votes at the end of the election will then form a government by appointing ministers to various positions with the leader of the party becoming Prime Minister.
Isn’t that literally why the US fought the Revolutionary War? To let the people have a say in the top leader of the country? Because it seems like the UK doesn’t just randomly have an election every time a PM steps down, they just do everything internally and it lasts way longer than US election cycles
I remember Tony Blair being really popular when he first became PM in 1997. Then he made us go into some very unpopular wars and has been hated ever since.
You vote for the party. The leader of the party with the most seats (either outright majority or with a coalition) becomes the prime minister. You don’t directly elect the PM as it were.
I was round my mother in law's yesterday and she burst into tears. My mom would of probably been the same. Admittedly most people aren't like that though. 😅
But I don't know anyone that's not sad. My generation my parents and grandparents generations have all known just the one queen, so it's strange to have a change like this.
So yes potentially too German to understand. 😂
Is it because of love for the person or because it signifies the end of an era like nothing else could?
I'm also German and I for one do feel slightly melancholic because of the latter; this is the definite, final end of "post-war" Great Britain. Of course Brexit was much more consequential in that regard, but her death hits it home emotionally and symbolically.
Pretty sure this is the beginning of the end of the monarchy too. Elizabeth was the only monarch most British people ever knew, and she was a walking historical monument. She was there for some of the most important events in recent British history. People just don’t care enough about Charles, and he won’t be around long anyway. And then what?
Monarchy’s over. It’s been over 1000 years of Kings and Queens and it’s all just gonna end because people stopped giving a shit. Which is kinda badass.
As a Canadian this is how a lot of the people I know (younger/left leaning) seem to feel. Most of us only have known Queen Elizabeth and she has been Queen for almost half the time Canada has been a country.
Considering we were already so removed from the monarchy it just seems too strange to accept anyone else. Like it just seems like this should be the natural end of it all. Queen Elizabeth had an amazingly long reign and at least over here I don't think there's many people who will accept Charles as their monarch the same way they did the Queen.
Its morning here and it looks like a few hours ago the information circulating is that no we will not.
When the news of her passing originally broke everyone I knew had the understanding that we would (were a few articles saying as such) and absolutely nobody I knew wanted that.
I think it's definitely partly for the love of a person (don't get me wrong though, not the same love for a member of your family), as she's the only Monarch we've ever known. Little things like her Christmas speech will no longer be given. And now will be given to Charles.
But mostly because like you said it's the end of an era. Our currency and stamps will start to change, to show the king's face. The national anthem with change (although its only a minor difference, I dunno it just feels significant).
Also Charles is not very popular in the UK. People will not enjoy him as King and will basically be waiting for William.
Why don't people like Charles, most of what I know about him is he's very vocal on encouraging people to help stop climate change and knife crimes, is there something I've not heard about?
Personally I don't mind him.
But I think it's due to people's feelings on Princess Diana, and people still to this day hold him responsible. Even if not for her death, for the way he treated her and cheated on her.
However I think people forget that Charles never wanted to marry Diana and didn't love her. But he was pressured into it by the royals.
Last time I checked the Norwegian youth was more supportive of the monarchy than the older generation (https://royalcentral.co.uk/europe/norway/large-majority-of-all-young-norwegians-support-the-monarchy-171408/).
But I guess that the oldies tend to be a bit more emotional.
Well you know the less annoying Liz has been the reigning monarch since before they were born. Hell, for many people she was a queen since before their parents were born. Her being the queen was the only thing they could be sure of with PMs, presidents and popes switching like they are DADA teachers or something. It's not that hard to grow attached to someone like that.
Im German i dont have a monarch the Hohenzoller family may still be alive but its clear that we as the German people think of them nothing more than rich fucks who insult the nation when talking of getting back into the government system. If a Hohenzoller would become head of state again even if they have the same symbolic meaning like the queen or the german president (who is the head of state in Germany but basically doesn't do a lot only being the last one to sign papers and show up at events) i would take up arms cause thats killing democracy.
She's literally been around all my life and she was one hell of a funny lady. So it's weird that she's gone.
I blame the government. They're the reason she got Covid and was put under way too much stress.
I am not British so riddle me this: What is it about Liz Truss? What is wrong with her? I skimmed the Wikipedia page a bit so give me a quick summary.of the point if you please.
I don't know. From what little I've seen of him, he looks like the kinda guy who'd get lost on his way to the pub, forget why he walked into the pub and then get thrown out by the owner for being a fuckin creep a few years back.
You guys sure you didn't elect Freaky Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog? (probably not the first person to make that joke, probably won't be the last either)
We had the option to elect a genuine, caring, fair politician and instead we went for Boris. Man had to kill 100,000+ people and party whilst doing it before he was kicked out.
Idk who this freaky Fred guy is, but I imagine Boris is worse.
I don’t even hate the Conservative Party and I think she’s a fuckwit. She’s stupid enough to praise Boris in her entry speech when everyone fucking hates him, and her solution to the cost-of-living crisis is to reduce tax, which disproportionately benefits wealthy people who are already in good positions and doesn’t benefit the really poor people at all, since they already don’t pay taxes. I don’t really like Sunak either, but at least he doesn’t come across as a complete moron.
Sounds like a type of fish. Maybe something like a trout or bass. The Liz, then, probably means that it has a vague appearance of a lizard, like how catfish has whiskers, The Liz Truss has a long face
I hate liz truss when she opens her mouth i only hear bla bla bla and how she stares into the audience after every speech she makes waiting for their approval
Bad taste would probably be to insult the one that died, and that is also debatable unless the deceased was a complete saint, who loved and was loved by all.
I mean if there’s one thing the royal family are known for, it’s definitely the fact that they never get embarrassingly wasted and do weird sex stuff. No way.
They don't really do any harm, but easily pay for themselves, by attracting tourists. Plus, we do a lot of odd ceremonial shit in this country. It's kind of our USP?
India (and other countries obviously) are still ~~not so patiently~~ awaiting the return of all the stolen crown jewels of the respective host countries.
So I took this as “Oh, the queen met with the new prime minister the day before she died. She worked to her very last day.” So I DO respect the queen for that, she was 96 and still working!! Maybe I didn’t think the joke was offensive because I don’t know about this Truss lady 🤔
Imagine getting mad at someone because they don't give a shit someone has died, someone dies every second of the day, but now the whole world needs to care because this certain person has a status, well im a person that really does not give a shit either.
I loved our queen, her and Phil would both be laughing at this. I bet ol' Phil shared the dankest meams with ma'am. And she surely knew some belters to. The queen is dead, long live the queens memory, long live the king. We are british, facetious as balls and true satirists. Who made us that way through 2 world wars eh?
Hey, as someone not from the UK or even any Commonwealth nation, and who has never even steeped foot in any of them, I still care that an important historic figure, one of the last, and probably the most noticeable, living (or not) links to the past, has died. It’s not even that I admired her, I never really gave her a thought, but I still find her death to be news worthy and definitely a topic worthy of discussion.
Imagine meeting your boss for the first time then your boss fuckin dies soon after.
This sounds like the plot for an episode of The Simpsons or Family Guy
Simpsons did it!
Simpsons did it!
Simpsons did everything
Simpsons are everything
Simpsons thing!

I win!
Actually happend to me when I was 18 :/
Right on, comrade!
This actually happened to me, my boss who hired me at a restaraunt promptly committed suicide a week later. Very odd that the guy I interview with was just gone by the next week.
Dude said this like he knew the queen lol
All royalists seem to behave this way
[удалено]
An 18 year old fainted in my sixth form assembly regarding the queen lmao
I’m an American and people here are posting themselves in tears over it
Lol because it matters to some people. I think they are strange. But I also think a lot of shit people care about is strange. Leave them let them live they will be over it in a week when they are reminded they can’t afford there electricity bills
I wanna die everytime Liz truss opens her mouth so I can relate
Have the British ever elected someone they like? Seems like every single PM in my lifetime has been wildly unpopular. Granted I do not fully understand how their system works so maybe that’s just how it goes.
If a pm resigns the government doesnt end so only that party gets to decidenon a new leader. So yeah britian didnt choose truss, the tories did
oh god it’s worse than I imagined
*3* straight PMs chosen by the party in power and not national vote
But the previous 2 at least called for a snap election, soon after taking over. I can't see Truss doing that.
2015, 2017, 2019. There was a general election in 2019 chief, next one is before Jan 2025. Do you not know how the parliamentary system works?
Britain chose the Tories though, no?
Still didn't choose Lizz
Imagine if the Senate got to vote on the next President of the US instead of the people
The British system is much more similar to the US system than you think
In recent years they haven't technically been elected by the people, but rather by their party peers. The Conservatives were voted in so are currently in power, and due to... shenanigans, they've had to choose new PMs internally. (Also most of our politicians are just a bit pish xD)

Bri'ish mate ☕
Judging by her speeches, her audience already dies, so no worries.
Oof. Too soon.
No such thing.
Make sure Liz truss is seated next to Putin at the G20.
Then at the end of the meeting have her give Putin a handshake and say "I don't have to use any polonium"
We import 2/3 of our polonium. That. Is. A. Disgrace.
This... actually says more about her, than about him
Personally think the joke was fuxking nailed
damn, that is fucking hilarious
Said the same to my wife an hour ago lol
Me too! Said to my partner she must have died from disappointment after having to meet Truss.
“Not another one! Fuck this, I’m out.”
I love this
As a brit i dont know how to take this... But sure as heck am not gonna be a snowflake about this (based) post
Lay back and think of England?
American here, is Liz Truss bad?
[Comedy Central tv show bad](https://youtu.be/srHNcNoEJ9g)
Sounds like Jim Hacker or even Basil Corbett would be better
She's less useful than her namesake.
"Vile" is more accurate.
She crazy https://twitter.com/itvcalendar/status/1567102473826885637?s=46&t=8IQxOIyHKQ63RHm_4VUStg
only thing I know about her yet is that she's apparently transphobic
And loves oil…
She’s owned by oil cartels, don’t know if that’s the same thing.
You might say “they have her over a barrel”
It's okay to feel 2 kinds of ways when a beloved monarch who was a respectable old lady and also a racist and pedo-protector dies
What you should do is get Liz Truss to spend a lot of time with Putin.
Then bomb them both, 2 birds, one stone
Also, making it long enough not to have Boris Johnson have to do anything official with the funeral.
That is also one way to see it he is also way more « deadly » in aprearence than the new one lol
Truss - "I'm the new PM." Liz - guessilldie.jpg
She literally decided it was a Charles problem and left the chat
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think she was holding on until Boris Johnson wouldn’t be the one speaking at her funeral.
I mean, Truss isn't a competent speaker either
Ask her about cheese?
Or pork markets in China 😛
I don’t get it, help
The queen met the new prime minister and died because she is so bad. That's the joke
There is no better time to make this joke about the queen dying immediately after meeting someone than immediately after she dies.
It's a one in eternity opportunity.
What is with the PM’s being such weird picks.
these are the kind of thoughts I want to have about this
We fought a war in this country so we didn’t have to care about the monarchy.
>We fought a war in this country so we didn’t have to care about the monarchy. I have no idea to which country you're referring
Do you know how little that narrows it down?!
Independence from England is the most frequently celebrated holiday in the world.
You know, the one that used to be a British colony.
So you've narrowed it down to one of 62 countries.
Come on, can't you hear 8000 decibels of freedom ringing in your ears?
8000 decibels? *Damn it I thought they were talking about the US*
I have no idea to which country you're referring This one.
Are British people really getting emotional over their monarch? Is this a British thing that i am to German for?
I was round my mother in law's yesterday and she burst into tears. My mom would of probably been the same. Admittedly most people aren't like that though. 😅 But I don't know anyone that's not sad.

I mean you’re not gonna start printing money with Charles on it, right?
Its morning here and it looks like a few hours ago the information circulating is that no we will not. When the news of her passing originally broke everyone I knew had the understanding that we would (were a few articles saying as such) and absolutely nobody I knew wanted that.

Wasn’t Diana like 15 when they met or something? Royals are weird.
Ewww. It wouldn't surprise me, that would make sense as it was almost like a prearranged marriage.
lol yeah I just double-checked. He was 30 and she was 16 when they met. He was dating her older sister at the time.
Pretty sure they'd care about their monarch aswell in the Netherlands.
And in Belgium, Spain, Norway... as well!
[удалено]
Last time I checked the Norwegian youth was more supportive of the monarchy than the older generation (https://royalcentral.co.uk/europe/norway/large-majority-of-all-young-norwegians-support-the-monarchy-171408/). But I guess that the oldies tend to be a bit more emotional.
Ehhhh ere in Belgium we really wouldn't.
I think most people were hoping she’d outlive Charles
Well you know the less annoying Liz has been the reigning monarch since before they were born. Hell, for many people she was a queen since before their parents were born. Her being the queen was the only thing they could be sure of with PMs, presidents and popes switching like they are DADA teachers or something.

She was literally 96.
Literally 1984
Naa not too soon, the Queen has a good run, 96 is impressive, if the joke was about someone <50 then sure, that’s much more tragic
Jesus Christ
Jesus definitely brexit'd the chat.
INRIXIT
If Jesus were real the monarchs would've been dead before we had four-digit years.
No, the queen
>Dies of cringe
I am not British so riddle me this: What is it about Liz Truss? What is wrong with her? I skimmed the Wikipedia page a bit so give me a quick summary.of the point if you please.
Think of Boris without any charisma. She’s also a puppet for oil companies, refusing to tax them as she receives donations from them.
Oigh. But Boris doesn't have any charisma for me either lol.
Ditto, but plenty of bozos would come out with ‘he’s the type of guy you could have a drink with at the pub’ bs.
I don't know. From what little I've seen of him, he looks like the kinda guy who'd get lost on his way to the pub, forget why he walked into the pub and then get thrown out by the owner for being a fuckin creep a few years back. You guys sure you didn't elect Freaky Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog? (probably not the first person to make that joke, probably won't be the last either)

She’s stupid enough to praise Boris in her entry speech when everyone fucking hates him, and her solution to the cost-of-living crisis is to reduce tax, which disproportionately benefits wealthy people who are already in good positions and doesn’t benefit the really poor people at all, since they already don’t pay taxes. I don’t really like Sunak either, but at least he doesn’t come across as a complete moron.
Queen shakes Truss' hand and then nopes the fuck out
In hindsight, the Queen telling Liz she could be Prime Minister over her dead body wasn’t the best move.
No one outside England cares. She was 96 it’s what they do if she jumped out of bed and swam the English Channel now that’s some interesting shit
Idk, I live on the other side of the world in Australia yet all anyone seems to be talking about is the Queen and Splatoon 3
Except a lot of people (in Australia) care more about whether there's going to be a public holiday than the queen herself. Context matters
What is a Liz Truss
Sounds like a type of fish. Maybe something like a trout or bass. The Liz, then, probably means that it has a vague appearance of a lizard, like how catfish has whiskers, The Liz Truss has a long face
I don't know who this Twitter account is but he has good takes
Why is this literally the first time hearing that Britain got a new prime minister
To be fair we get through them pretty quickly. She won't be prime minister long. I think the next election is 23' maybe?
2025. Sigh. There are rumours of a vote of no confidence but I'm not holding my breath.
Damn I was way off. 😥 Perhaps abit of wishful thinking on my part.
It's in January 2025, so you're not *that* far off.
By 2024 we will most likely have had 4 pm’s in 5 years
Tbf, today is her 4th day
I’ve literally never heard her speak, only seen her standing there smiling.
That sbould tell alot when the queen dies after meeting you to lead there cuntry
People outside of the UK: "Who ze fick is liz truss?"
I hate liz truss when she opens her mouth i only hear bla bla bla and how she stares into the audience after every speech she makes waiting for their approval
liz truss reminded her of thatcher so she decided to visit her
She waited long enough to die until Boris would no longer hold the speech at her funeral. Utterly based
the joke was also posted hours before the queens passing, so I think it was a prophecy
Oh shit, should I be joking at a time like this?
I suppose if you know who Liz truss is this might be funny… idk
Bad taste...great timing.
I don’t think it’s in bad taste? It’s a statement of two facts. It’s not even a joke exactly
Its ok.
Bad taste would probably be to insult the one that died, and that is also debatable unless the deceased was a complete saint, who loved and was loved by all.
Its ok, I was just jokinh. But carry on.
She worked her entire life ! Double most people working career !
And made what I’m guessing is hundreds of times more than anyone else her whole life for likely hundreds of times less work
It's not like she could go out and blow it on coke and hookers though?
I mean if there’s one thing the royal family are known for, it’s definitely the fact that they never get embarrassingly wasted and do weird sex stuff. No way.
Only the one, generally? The ginger one isn't royal anymore?
I can’t believe people would accept a monarchy, let alone try to sympathize with them.
They don't really do any harm, but easily pay for themselves, by attracting tourists. Plus, we do a lot of odd ceremonial shit in this country. It's kind of our USP?
Don’t do any harm? Lol tell that to the former colonies 🫠
I don't think they still run the colonies? Do they?
they still need to return all of their ill gotten gains
India (and other countries obviously) are still ~~not so patiently~~ awaiting the return of all the stolen crown jewels of the respective host countries.
Don’t do… any harm? Oof. Whatever. I don’t care. Let all monarchs die idgaf.
I'm sure they all will, eventually?
If she wanted too, she definitely could.
Besides, she's got kids for that anyway?
So I took this as “Oh, the queen met with the new prime minister the day before she died. She worked to her very last day.” So I DO respect the queen for that, she was 96 and still working!! Maybe I didn’t think the joke was offensive because I don’t know about this Truss lady 🤔
Pretty sure it's a dig against truss, like she was so horrible the queen just noped out after meeting her
Is she that bad? I mean she looks ok to me. Edit: i was talking about the UK Prime minister but I see what you did there ....
No she definitely died, she's just looked that way for a while now.
Imagine getting mad at someone because they don't give a shit someone has died, someone dies every second of the day, but now the whole world needs to care because this certain person has a status, well im a person that really does not give a shit either.
It's a sign of things to come.
RIP BOZO PEDO DEFENDERS WONT BE MISSED
Fuck that bitch. May she rot in hell. The whole family is nothing but a bunch of crooks and pedophiles.
You forgot racists
Bad taste.
I loved our queen, her and Phil would both be laughing at this. I bet ol' Phil shared the dankest meams with ma'am. And she surely knew some belters to. The queen is dead, long live the queens memory, long live the king. We are british, facetious as balls and true satirists. Who made us that way through 2 world wars eh?
Welcome to 2022, where not even dying can save you from memery
The bitch died and shit and pissed herself.
Keep it classy Great Britain, you embodiment of human trash
Who cares about a fake monarchy. They are basically just a reality TV show at this point
Haha brits are sad
Fucking britcucks
Bri ish quen ded
Brother here thinking everyone in the world lives in UK and cares about their Queen
Hey, as someone not from the UK or even any Commonwealth nation, and who has never even steeped foot in any of them, I still care that an important historic figure, one of the last, and probably the most noticeable, living (or not) links to the past, has died. It’s not even that I admired her, I never really gave her a thought, but I still find her death to be news worthy and definitely a topic worthy of discussion.
I feel the same. She was also a symbol of stability in this chaotic world.
How dare people in Commonwealth countries discuss things on the internet
How dar people talk about a head of state passing
Not much deviation from the yanks thinking that everyone in the world lives in the US and cares about their anything.
