@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk it's an ex social media platform, it has ceased to be

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk savage!😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk This twit is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet its maker!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Chuckle achieved. 😁 As a suggestion: Mastodon allows to describe uploaded pictures to help the visually impaired (a small edit button on the picture itself before posting).

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk You, sir, have made my day. 😂​

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Good photoshop dead #Twitter idea from someone who really knows their #MontyPython

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk But really need to superimpose elon's face over John Cleese's.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Dear Mr. Fry, welcome to the #Fediverse. A friendly reminder to use alt-text on your images so that people with screenreaders aren't excluded from the conversation like they are in your photo posts. When the image carries a lot of context, we try to go the extra mile to be inclusive. It's simple when you know how to do it. Please me know if you need help with a short instruction!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk It is an EX bluebird! This bluebird is no more!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Pining for the fjords? If it wasn’t nailed to the perch it’d be pushing up daisies.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk omg…that made my day! It’s an ex, um, not exactly a parrot, but… 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Image description: Scene from the famous Monty Python "dead parrot" sketch. The customer (played by John Cleese) stands in the foreground, holding a bird cage, while the pet store owner (Michael Palin) stands in the background with his arms folded. Photoshopped inside the bird cage is a blue cartoon bird like the twitter logo lying on its back (it's dead). A speech bubble above the shopkeeper says, "It was alive when you bought it." #Alt4You

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Witty! The Dead parrot scene is an inexhaustible source of memes. Full scene for those who dont know their #MontyPython https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZw35VUBdzo

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Here's an image description, since there's no way to add one directly after the fact: It's the Monty Python dead parrot sketch, but the parrot has been replaced with a dead Twitter bird logo. The shopkeeper is saying "It was alive when you bought it."

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Very witty, Fry! Or was that one of Shaw's?

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk bloomin’ marvellous 🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I completely forgot about the cage!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk lovely plumage.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk The perfect toot!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣 Though beautiful plumage. @Wikisteff@mastodon.social ☝️

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk @court@dreamers-guild.net “If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies.”

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk it's pining for the Dorsey.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk He's just pining for the Fords!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Learned today of seagull management: the act of flying in, making a lot of noise, shitting on everything, and then flying off again ...

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I have to confess that I have never felt closer to Stephen Fry, now I am a mere 56,011 people away from an audience to persuade him that narrating my vastly unpopular work of fiction would be a worthy effort. "Keep to writing the non-fiction." they said. Pish posh. The £10 I have earned so far from the "Ruthless Mortals: Book 1" has transformed my life. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09GW54WCY

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk One of the best skits ever. "He joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! This is an ex parrot" #mrpraline #montypython

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk can‘t…stop….laughing….😂😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Ah yes, the Muskian Blue. Beautiful plumage.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Ha! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I hope you didn’t pay US$44B for it

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ☹️😢😡

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk as I understand it he is going to step down as CEO once he finds a suitable replacement

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk love it! 😍

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I wonder if it goes Vwumphff?🤔

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk That, as you Brits say is "spot on" 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk South African Blue..... beautiful plumage. There, he moved! That was you sacking the staff!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Brilliant metaphor! 😆

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk love this one

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Millionaires shoot endangered animals in big game parks. Billionaires buy multi-billion dollar companies and then joyride them into the ground in a few weeks for a laugh.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk @groggu@mindly.social This bird wouldn’t Voom if you put forty-four billion dollars through it.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk and now we are on a platform named after an Extinct species 😜

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Oh very apt!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk

• There, it moved!
• It didn't, that was you throwing money at it!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk BEST TOOT!! 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Ha ha ha ha. Thanks for giving me the best laugh in ages, Sir.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Brilliant!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk You are a relentlessly naughty person. However; it is exactly this sort of irreverent discombobulation which makes you such a tremendous human. Well played sir.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Like the fate of the dodo isn't it. A bird that became so popular by mankind by eating it, they made it extinct .

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk well, didn’t make him money!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk ah... the Norwegian Blue-tick...

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk OMG, I LOVE YOU. This is frakkin PERFECT

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk best current events twist on the classic and always hilarious dead parrot sketch yet! #LarryTheBird is not dead yet but if current trends continue, ‘e’ll cease to be, off the twig and pushin’ up daisies. Thanks for a much needed #lol

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk It's not dead..., it's pinig ! 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk That is so fantastic! Meanwhile on Mastodon: "We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week. But all the decisions *of* that officer 'ave to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major..."

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk He's just pining for the board ;)

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I had the blue bird stuffed. Now for the brass plate that says, "Include me out".

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk And a good morning to you sir^^

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Would be nice if you mention the source. I guess it's this one? https://twitter.com/the_meghaning/status/1592505089083998209

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Looking that way isn't it. Seems he's going out of his way to ruin his $44bn investment

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk OMG! PERFECT! It’s pushing up the daisies! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣🤣🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 👍

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Well put!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Excellent work...

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk absolute corker 😂🤣😉

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Lol 👍

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk “Norwegian blue - beautiful plumage!”

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Heh. Good meme. Here's another I made: https://mindly.social/@markgrieveson/109339770712999027

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk You're my first celebrity follow :face_smiling_eyes_fb:

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk made my day/night! thx for that one!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Genius. 🏆

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Just perfect 🤣

It's a reshare. Honestly, Mr Fry - citing your source would have been difficult?

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk that's fantastic very funny

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk that about sums it up! Especially this evening!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk With all the meme factories online, I'd say it would have been very difficult, especially after all the re re re re re sharing of meme factory content.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk And yet when I click on it, I see things!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk ...among many others I'll wager.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk "All I've got is this bloody Albatross"

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Grandiose !

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😂 😂 👏 👏 👏

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😄😄😄

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk (back of the classroom) snigger and snort 🤭

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Brilliant

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Birdsite is not doing well.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 👏👏👏👏👏

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😂😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Keeps popping up. One time is funny, 30 times is annoying. #deadbird

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣🤣🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Laughing my socks off

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Beautiful plumage. Stuns easily.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I see you found your voice? 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk This wins the Internet for the week 👏 🤣🤣🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk it is an ex birdie!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Mixing my movie/tv references. "Fly little birdie. Fly to freedom!"

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Funny and funny. Now, get back to work! 😅

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk HAHAHA

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk it’s a portend to a particular musky blue bird & it’s downward spiral into abject failure

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk this was my wake up funny. Thanks!! 🤣🤣 :blobcatlove:

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk fantastic, thanks for the smile :blobcatcool:

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk it could just be pining for the fjords

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk haha 😆 good one.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Ha! I wonder if that's how he's feeling right now. #Schadenfreude

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk ahahaha

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Oh, that is mean. And I like the humor. 😏

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk "Pretty bird"....can you say "pretty bird"? #dumbanddumber

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk oh dear, this is unkind… but ever so funny.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk It is still alive.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Funny! And great to see that you've decided what type of content to produce. Now show us the scones! https://mastodonapp.uk/@stephenfry/109343676007790764

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😂 love this!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Hahaha 😂 classic

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk probably no denying that it was at least a bit sick at the time...though he definitely seems to have finished it off

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk To twit no more...

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk This birdsite is no more, it has ceased to be, it's expired and gone to meet its maker

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Perfect.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Brutal 🔥😂😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Elon Musk, the new Liz Truss

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk But it started to smell a tiny bit funny.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Perfect! WaPo has an article that seems to say Elon needs $44/month per “subscriber” to pay off his loans.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Two opposing but interesting views on the future of Twitter. George Gammon - Is twitter the next FTX https://youtu.be/Ul_xHcATS7U Mark Moss - The real reason Musk bought Twitter https://youtu.be/qRg_rxBWCjs

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😩 Yeah...

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk wish I could favorite this a hundred times!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Piticli bonico!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk you should have put a description for the vision impaired on that Stephen, and of course the poetry..

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk The classics

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Haha! it's even a Norwegian Blue! 😂 😂 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk This Parrot wouldn't Voom if you put 4 million volts through it

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Keep the humour coming. 🤣🤣

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk I just peed a little.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk LOL

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Oh, thank goodness you're over here. Hope you're well, mate.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk perfect

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk @kamado@mastodon.scot 😆

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk finding myself in the less than 100k followers of Mr Fry seems quite special.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk try Metatext app for the full ‘fediverse’ effect.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Let's not get ahead of ourselves, birdsite is not dead yet as much as we would like it to be. Still funny tho 😆

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Awaiting the segway into “I’m a lumberjack…” - would seem appropriate to move to destruction of the forests as his next trick!

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk LOL

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk 😂

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk ...not just dead, but now being jumped up and down on.

@stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk Good to see you here. Always an early adopter!
