Just had the piss gently taken out of me in the office due to my quite markedly receding hairline.
When I retorted with
" It's not baldness, I suffer from premature Kojak-ulation"
I was treated to a shocked, tumbleweed laden silence.
It was only then that I realised that I was the only person in the place old enough to have ever been alive when Kojak was a common cultural reference.
I didn't even follow up with my Ray Reardon references.
I'm only 47 but, today, I feel very, very old.
I remember Kojak. My Grandad loved it.
Ha, there must have been loads of times in the past when I failed to laugh at my Dad. Now I understand why.
I remember Kojak. My Grandad loved it.
🙂 splendid 🙂
47? Not that premature.
Not that premature.
I've been using the same line since I was 26.
” It’s not baldness, I suffer from premature Kojak-ulation”
It's better than that broccoli joke that just won the fringe...
I mentioned JR Hartley to a colleague recently and he looked at me blankly. That BT advert came out in 1983. My colleague was born in 1997. I felt very old at that point.
47, I remember when I was 47...
Anyway, Who loves ya baby?
I’m only 47 but, today, I feel very, very old.
We love you baby.
Who loves ya baby?
Cootchie coo!
Aw Perchy,everybody should have a little Greek in them.
😉
If it's good enough for the Queen....
and...he's back in the room.
I used to go to a Crossfit gym and whenever an 80s hit came on their stereo I would think back to when I bought the album etc and then realise that no one else in the gym had been born back then.....
I think your audience were just a crocker thickos. Kojak was remade in 2005 starring Ving Rhames as the bald fella. Everyone knows that 😀
What you did there....see it I do.
Two of my colleagues don't know what a photocopier is.
To them it's a "3 in 1" or "scan to print" machine. Although the idea of copying physical media is kinda of alien to them.
I'm not really into football but I was having a conversation with a younger work colleague who mentioned: "Jordi Cruyff is a really good player"
"Not as good as his dad though." I replied.
Pause ...
"Who?"
Whitestone ...
Jordi Cruyff was never a really good player .....
For some reason a conversation with a colleague got onto morning facial massage routines. I mentioned American Psycho, she looked totally blank and said "I don't know that film"
It was only then that I realised that I was the only person in the place old enough to have ever been alive when Kojak was a common cultural reference.
thats no excuse - he's practically local
in a pub the other week, and the card machine stopped working.
"What did you do????" exclaimed my twentysomething colleagues, when I came back from the bar.
"I...paid with cash. I usually take cash with me on a night out," says I.
"Wow, that's really oldschool!"
Er, is it?
I preferred Kodak - story of a tough New York photographer.
Nah, Kodiak was better. Drafting a backwoods bear into the NYPD with hilarious fish out of water consequences. IIRC they based Due South on it.
Kojak is long overdue a reboot. I was going to post this when I saw that Telly Savalas did Aberdeen too.
Straw poll: Who'd play Kojak in a remake?
These young people....
Colleague of mine...I lost my fountain pen. She was like "a wut?". Never heard of a fountain pen. Mind you, same colleague announced to the office that "I've just eaten an orange!" she'd never had one before. 23 years old. Barely lived. Oh, same colleague - "you're the same age as my mom, you're old enough to be my dad!".
Thanks.
I work with someone who has never bought a CD, never been in a music shop.
And didn't know what a mix tape was. I don't think he really knew what a tape was.
I occasionally forget that most outside the NHS and emergency services don’t have a very dark sense of humour. A pun a or retort to unfortunate situation can be met with silence and cold states.
Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?
Vin Diesel obviously
Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?
Ffs did you not read the OP? Perchypanther obviously. Although I’m sure Harry Hill’s agent is on the case too.
I can’t do it.
I’m already committed to play Ray Reardon in a remake of Pot Black.
duncan goodhew would be good as kojak (er if he originally came from the uk and was transferred to new york.but may be a fish out of water to begin with 😐
Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?
Dave Brailsford
Chipps?
Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?
How about, oh, I dunno.. let me think... Ving Rhames?
Not A remake, THE remake. The gritty origin myth where we find out the real story with the lollipops
Chipps?
Chipps chomps Chupa Chups?
I can’t do it.
I thought you'd want to be on Telly?
referring to Mr T as "the Snickers 'get some nuts' man"
Straw poll: Who’d play Kojak in a remake?
Binners
Laughing at millenials is one of the main perks of my job.
Recent examples include:
-The one who didn't know that there was a difference between a river and a canal.
-The one who believed me when I repeated that Armando Ianucci joke that the internet used to be in black and white.
-The one who had no idea what stars were (I pressed her by asking "Haven't you ever wondered what they are?" Tumbleweed.).
N.B. All of the above-noted individuals have masters degrees.
