      This is a example of a “flat earther” trying to explaine perspective to an “anti-flat earther” The people do get it make no mistake, That’s why they are coming to the correct understanding that the earth is not what they have been lead to believe. There is no stoping it now. The earth is objectively and observably a level plane, as evidenced by basic physics and natural laws. We are seeing the cabalistic globe religion is in its death throws. 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻 ⚰️

    • @stuartpound4782
      @stuartpound4782 6 лет назад +5

      Coolostomy. Well, you like me have only ever personally experience the earth as a level plane as is obvious and observable and scientifically proven by the natural physics of water (fluid mechanics) and the idea of a pressure gradient next to a vacuum without a barrier is in violation of the second law of thermodynamics so “outer space” is nonsense. You need a religious belief to make the earth a globe/spherical/oblate 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻

      @stuartpound4782 6 лет назад +5

      NOT a "laughter track," at all, so back-off with the sarcasm, please!
      The Father Ted interiors were recorded in front of a LIVE AUDIENCE at the (then) London Studios on the South Bank of the Thames. The building is dated, but it is still there.. between the IBM building and The National Theatre.
      In truth, I am surprised that anyone would think the laughter on this clip was faked. When my family and I saw this for the first time, we laughed in exactly the same *way* as the audience in the studio..
      ... leading me to believe this is a first take scene, completely fresh for that audience too.

      The toys are small in reality and the ones outside also appear equally small. However, the ones outside are actually big but just appear small because they are far away (Ted's trying to explain perspective to Dougal). Sorry, if that was awkward phrasing.

      It’s a British production (Channel 4), but the writers and nearly all of the cast are Irish.
