Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I have a Taiwanese friend who learned English on basketball courts.
I have been reading this joke since before 9/11.
Of what year?
Please watch 80s comedy flick Better Off Dead.
Almost… Better Off Ted is a funny TV show, but Better Off Dead is the movie.
In reference to the OP, a character learns to speak English after watching a show hosted by Howard Cosell who has a very specific voice.
