Good Omens/YMMV: Difference between revisions

*** This is not so much a [[Take That]] aimed at [[Queen]] as it is a joke about the ubiquitous nature of ''Queen's'' ''Greatest Hits I'' in car stereos throughout the UK. [[Terry Pratchett]] explained it like this: eventually you get so sick of inane local radio that you pull off the motorway and go to a service (gas) station to find something worth listening to. The only thing on the paltry rack of cassettes that is at all worth buying is invariably ''The Best Of Queen''. (There are doubtless several things that are outdated with this scenario - CD changers, iPods, better radio stations, better stocked service stations - but it was brilliant for its time.)

** "Nothing but dust and fundamentalists."

** There is also a Bentley/Bookshop [[Fanfic]] floating around somewhere.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Crowley notes that, unlike [[Punch Clock Villain|most demons]], Hastur and Ligur actively ''like'' being evil. Also the Four Horsepeople (except [[Blue and Orange Morality|Death]], and ''maybe'' [[Enemy to All Living Things|Pollution]] <ref>His namesake happens all around him without his intervention - he ''does'' actively pollute in dangerous ways, but it's hinted that it's just his form of [[Fantastic Arousal]]</ref>) Famine in particular gets pleasure out of watching anorexic people starve themselves to death, while War destroys peaceful countries so she can sell them weaponry.

** Also War.

* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: [[Dating Catwoman|Crowley and Aziraphale]]. Or, if you're [[Les Yay|into it]], [[Crack Pairing|Pepper/War]] is becoming quite popular.

** Also Gadriel, as it is listed in some theology books as being the name of the fallen who tempted Eve with the apple.

* [[Genius Bonus]] / [[Punny Name]]: The etymology of "nice" (or [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe|"niƒe"]] if you prefer) has changed drastically over the centuries. Roughly around the time Agnes would have written her book it could indeed have meant "precise". However it's original meaning was "foolish" or "stupid." Then there is the modern meaning attached to the word. They all apply to some extent.
