1. When you've got a magic box that will trap an un-killable monster, you should go ahead and send your minions to a certain death attacking it before you use the trap.

2. Section 3 smells like old grandma.

3. The proper way to treat a 12th century relic is to goof around with it.

4. When you find a 800+ year-old vibrating box hidden in a walled off section of the university's basement and discover that the box can only be opened using a 12th century military gauntlet, don't worry about x-raying it or doing any kind of analysis on it. Just go ahead and open it.

5. Bad teeth in the denizens of the British Isles wasn't just a '60s thing.

8. Idaho Commando cheats.

9. When a scream from a monstrous skull found inside an 800+ year-old vibrating box causes your ears to bleed, don't go to the hospital and get examined or seek any kind of medical help.

- Never notify ANYONE else of what just happened. It clearly can be handled by just the three of you.

14. Losing all the fingers on one hand will cause you no more pain than breaking a nail.

15. First-time spear throwers are deadly accurate; even with an unbalanced weapon.

16. Quoting Chandler before shooting someone only gives the someone enough time to attack you.

17. Once again, splitting up and not heeding advice to stay together will most certainly mean you will die. And also, when someone tells you not to scream, you should not scream.

18. When you're hiding under a bed and think the person you are hiding from is gone, they are most likely not, so don't get out from under the bed.

19. No, the terrifying creature chasing after you and killing people is not the result of LSD.

as for No.5, how does an america movie protraying that, prove anything in real life? You son are a muppet who thinks everything in movies and tv is real.

Now go away, you big fat burger eating redneck. Ha see what i did there?

[–] GreenInkBrigade 13 years ago

And you, son, need to learn to recognize tongue-in-cheek humor.

According to "The Economist," the British, along with the Germans, have the lowest rate of cavities in the developed world (per an OECD study). They just don't have the straightest or the whitest teeth.

-----

Americans aren't the only ones spoofing on the British bad teeth stereotype.

Mike Myers (Canadian of English parents) got lots of mileage out of it in "Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery."

"Death at a Funeral" (a British movie) got some mileage out of the subject as well.

"The Ladykillers" (another British movie) featured Alec Guinness wearing a set of horrendous costume teeth.

-----

Here's the Telegraph's more serious view on the subject of British teeth:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/alicethomson/3553839/Bad-teeth-the-new-British-disease.html

In real life, the "Daily Mirror" reports that Liam Gallagher (formerly of Oasis) recently decided to get his teeth fixed. Though not at the Shane McGowan (formerly of the Pogues) stage, his teeth have reached a stage where he feels he needs to do something.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat some burgers and listen to Skynyrd before I head off to the monster truck rally.

21. Young hot girls and their boyfriends are immune to the monster's rules. Both were totally screaming in the bedroom scene.

22) Police officers can pronounce a person dead, and they can tell AND pronounce a heart attack as the official cause of death.

23) The scumbag with the tattoos and lip ring and is currently dating your daughter is actually a nice guy after all...who knew??

24) When a shield/cross/box thing is accidentally tripped and cuts someones fingers off, go running and screaming...run as far away as you can...and if you see a dungeon/cave you should run to it and go as far inside of it as you can...

25) Always solve a riddle before you throw a double-bladed sword at someones head.

26) Where the HE__ did the chain connected to the box come from?

27) Don't be the token black guy...you'll be the first to die.

28) A Banshee doesn't warn a person that they are about to die, they actually kill the person.

29) To kill a spirit you have to stab it with a double-bladed sword while they are in form at which point they will materialize...then you have to cut it's head off a trap it inside a shield that turns into a box.

30) A college professor and her teenage daughter are just a proficient at killing a Banshee as a specialized royal knight.

31) A super weapon that was gonna bring about the end of the world was destroyed by a college professor and her teenage daughter...

32) Call it a Bean Si...it'll make you look like you're enlightened.

33) Lady asks: "How did he find out where it was?" Don't say "oh he tricked me into telling him"...it's better to say "he always has a way of getting what he wants from me"...

34) The Banshee wants people to scream? Then maybe it's not a good idea to choke the person Ms. Banshee...

37> When driving a car forward, reflections in the windscreen go away from the car.

38> It's incredibly easy to not pay attention to the road and crash.

39> When you've just revealed that you fancy your fella and he's suggested sleeping together in case of a terrifying monster, you could A: Shag him and let him stay the night B: Let him sleep on the couch, just in case C: Kick him out and face ultimate evil alone.... Always choose C.

When a big ol' cloud of creepy dust comes flowing out of your movie projector screen, walk TOWARDS it, not AWAY as fast as possible!

When your ears have been damaged to the point of excruciating pain and excessive bleeding, just wipe the blood off. You won't have any hearing loss or long term damage. Go ahead and use your headphones.

Women always need baths and/or showers in horror movies. Men? Not so much.
