my family's main study there used to be the TV program which came in - hard to believe now - weekly printed magazines.

They're not the same. "recent" and "first" are doing a lot of work in the quoted sentence.

Name and shame: Klarna did this.

Not sure if they still do because i stay well clear of them.

If the project owner posted this or is reading here: watch out with the project naming; DivX is a highly litigative brand these days.

Which new purpose do you allude to?

Oh that the was fascinating, too. From visiting more than a decade ago, I understand that most of the permanent population of Whittier lives there (except for some hotel employees) and that they have an underground passage connecting it with the school building opposite (so students in winter can get there without putting on a coat).

Go to settings -> private browsing and enable "allow screenshots in private browsing".

FWIW, I enjoyed how the pictures were adding a little theme, were consistent and broke up the reading nicely without being too "noisy" (compared to e.g. technical articles full of meme pictures).

It might just not work for you because Monty Python don't do punchlines. They just dial the absurdity to 11.

There is some element of surprise, but rather at the beginning of a scene than at the end of it. Then it's a matter of "how far can you take this situation", e.g. a knight losing all limbs and still claiming "it's just a scratch" (Sorry for the spoiler but it's been 48,5 years...).

Part of it could also be missing cultural context. Taking the same scene as example, it's a comment on the British "stiff upper lip".
