*gets dressed up to spend time in the woods alone*
once at dawn i dressed up in my regency suit and went for a walk in the woods where i heard someone go “oh” (a little like a moan) and i got terrified i’d interrupted someone dogging or something so i immediately tried to walk away before i saw the person in question, who was just walking their dog (dogging in a sense!) and i got even more scared because they were wearing black skinny jeans and a black hoodie so they looked like they had very long slender arms and legs, and both of us were really shaken so i quickly tried to get out of sight. anyway i forgot i was wearing full 1810s regencywear complete with hat and probably looked significantly more like a ghost than they did. remember you’re never alone in the woods
imagine walking your dog in the woods and seeing an obvious Regency-era ghost notice you and bolt out of sight, visibly shaken
I’m CRYING this is hilarious

ok.
I was at the coffeeshop in the village and someone asked me how my llamas are doing, and a woman overheard and told me that when she was a kid, her parents used to have a couple of llamas in their sheep farm, and every single sheep in their flock imprinted on one of the two llamas. Each sheep chose the best most charismatic llama according to mysterious sheep criteria, and never wavered in their ovine loyalty. Each of the two llamas was worshiped by a small sub-flock of devoted sheep who followed him everywhere like Jesus’s apostles and only left their field for transhumance when led by “their” llama. The funniest thing is the way this woman overheard the word “llama” and immediately came to sit next to me to tell me this, like she had waited since childhood to share her bewilderment about the two religious congregations of sheep led by rival llama prophets in her family farm.
I’d have trouble keeping that in myself.

I always thought this was the most unrealistic part of all of The Truman Show. If Truman grew up with people around him regularly stopping their normal conversations to do a quick product ad, not only would he think it was normal, he’d also start doing it himself. He’d drive the producers nuts by regularly doing ads for things they weren’t paid to do ads for. No Truman! Talk about the toothpaste! The toothpaste! The mouthwash company didn’t pay us nearly enough for you to hawk their products! Maybe we can charge them an unexpected Truman marketing surcharge. Now how do we get him to talk about the toothpaste? Maybe if we have his wife tell him his teeth are getting much whiter.
But he would really drive them crazy by doing ads for things that aren’t products. “Mmmmm, water! Cool and refreshing.”
Alternative interpretation: Meryl’s actress is panicking in this scene. Truman is becoming more and more aware of his situation, the illusion is breaking, and they’re all in trouble. Her and everyone else’s coverup skills were tested to the limit when he drove over the bridge. Her improv skills are breaking down. Not knowing what to do, she defaults to an advertisement - at a bad time.
Most of the time the advertisements are better-placed. For example, Meryl showing off the Chef’s Pal, saying she got it for free at checkout. That’s more within the realm of normal human behavior. If you get something really neat for free, you’d probably share the news with your spouse. Or “Y'know, you really oughta throw out that mower. Get one of those new Elk Rotaries!” These aren’t conversation-stoppers, they’re natural and plausible enough that, if they did affect Truman’s own speech patterns, it wouldn’t be very perceptible.
But to start shilling chocolate like that at this moment? Right after the crossing-the-bridge incident? When Truman is doubting the authenticity of their relationship and the entire world around him? I’ll also note her tone of voice is different, and more obviously artificial, from the earlier product placements, which fit more in line with her character. Even considering his manipulated view of human nature, that is not something normal people do. And that further breaks the illusion for him.
And yes, this would be what dating an Instagram influencer is like
