@@troysmith3082 I hear you. I preferred the Lister and Rimmer double act to the Lister and Kryten double act that the show became. No offence to the actor but I never liked how Kryten changed the balance (it also marginalised Holly). But saying that, I find series 3 to 5 my favourites.

We have a low-rent Gandalf the fluorescent with a stop sign telling metal beasts 'You Shall Not Pass!' to help the little hobbits get from the Shire to Mordor

As an American who loves British TV, it took me years to figure out what a lollipop man is. I don’t know why they bring it up so much either. I used to think it was a euphemism for a pedo.

And we have them in the US. We just call them crossing guards instead of using a weird indirect euphemism about how their signs are vaguely shaped like a giant lollipop.

@@dunbar9finger I always assumed because it was meant to be fun and memorable for the kids to call them lollipop lady/man since they're mainly to keep school children safe but I never looked into it deeply XD

Why doesn't Russ just simply say: "We get old people to stand in the road with a stop sign so kids don't get run over! You call them crossing guards."

Here in Denmark, pupils in the older classes do the lollipopping/being a crossing guard with a teacher supervising them.

@HeatherHotcakes

Ай бұрын

That was my first thought. It's clearly a street crossing guard, which is a much more professional title. I'm pretty confident that there aren't too many American men that would let you refer to them as a lollipop anything.

Yeah UK people think that just because we dont use the same indirect euphemism they made up for a thing that means we don't have that thing. We have crossing guards we just never decided to call them lollipop men based on the stop signs they carry kinda vaguely looking like a giant lollipop.

We call them crossing guards and they hold a stop sign. We would never call the stop sign a lollipop here in the US. I think it's just a matter of using different words. For the person asking why thought of a man standing in the street holding an actual candy lollipop, which doesn't make any sense as to why.

Soooo Lollipop people are just crossing guards with signs exactly like we have in the U.S.? Literally clicked on this vid because I thought it was going to be something weird. Boo!
