Do You Conform to the Norm?

The best thing about globalisation is how every high street in every city in the world looks the same. McDonalds, Starbucks, H+M. McDonalds, Starbucks, H+M.

How well do you understand conformity?

Why is James Bond the best spy in the world?

1. Because he's British, and the British are the best at everything.
2. Because he knows how to blend in by wearing tuxedos and being the sexiest man in the room, and telling everyone his ACTUAL NAME all the time.
3. Because he never gives up.

It's weird in Bond movies how one minute he's a spy, sneaking into some factory or hollowed-out volcano. Then the next minute people are saying, 'Hey, aren't you James Bond, the famous spy?'

Oh, and since he's so persistent, if you get the chance to kill him, kill him! Otherwise he'll keep trying to stop your plan. Are you listening, villains of the world?

Why do polar bears cover their nose all the time?

1. Their noses are black, so by covering them, the polar bear blends in with the snow and can sneak closer to its dinner.
2. Their noses have little holes in, and when they blow their nose they can play music like on a flute.
3. In the year 2002, most polar bears got into poker, and now they walk around holding their cards close to their face.

According to Polar Bears International, the nose thing is probably not true. But I want it to be true so in this course it's true.

Why did the 2016 remake of Ghostbusters fail to live up to expectations?

1. Because it was an all-female cast.
2. Because it wasn't funny.

Lots of all-female movies have been critically and commercially successful (Bridesmaids, Black Swan, Mamma Mia etc). The Ghostbusters remake had a bad script. Shame.

Why are parties depressing?

1. Because they never live up to your expectations of meeting your soulmate.
2. Because there's always pineapple on the cocktail sticks.
3. Because there's always one couple who breaks up during the party and it's a big drama.

Pineapple is the most disgusting food, it's true. But there's normally some cheese sandwiches or sausage rolls that don't have pineapple on.

I think it's an exaggeration to say that there's ALWAYS a couple who breaks up during a party. I'd say it happens more like 60% of the time.

If anyone reading this thinks, 'Hey Andrew! I met MY soulmate at a party!' Bad news - that's not your soulmate.

There are many hilarious British comedy shows, but why does Peep Show stand out?

1. Everything is seen through first person perspective - you see what the characters in the show see.
2. It's the only show that features 2 former Prime Ministers as members of the regular cast.
3. It's the only show that centres around the lives of 2 competing serial killers, who commit crimes for each other to solve.

At first the first-person perspective seems strange, but it quickly becomes normal and you wonder why more TV isn't made that way. The show is really dark and funny. If you like British humour, check it out!

You have taken your partner to a fancy restaurant, intending to propose marriage that night.

 Suddenly, the man at the next table to you gets down on one knee and proposes to his girlfriend. Do you press ahead with YOUR proposal?

1. Yes.
2. No.

Pressing ahead with your plan in this situation is MADNESS. Nothing good can come of it. Oh my god I'm stressed just thinking about it.

You are thirsty. The only milk in the fridge is past its sell-by date. What do you do?

1. Take a sip, and if it doesn't taste too bad, press ahead and drink more.
2. Get your partner to try some first.

Whatever you do, don't say 'hey try this, I think it smells funny'. Just pour two glasses of milk and let them drink first. They will think you did something nice for them.
