His PEGI 18 work is great, but his PEGI 12 work is overlooked. I think it’s where he really hit his stride in that role.
His PEGI-18 work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when PEGI-12 came out in '03, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole message has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the message a big boost. He’s been compared to ESRB, but I think PEGI has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
In all seriousness, I actually do like the PEGI12 one more. It’s more poiniant in a weird way. I’m not even kidding.

Damn PEGI
That’s fair, it’s €100 per word.

It’s Eighteen, not Eight Teen.
Being wrong isn’t inherently funny though
It was clearly a joke based on wordplay, not someone trying to assert a fact. That’s why I linked the Wiki article for Humor, because it seems like a lot of people don’t understand it.
Different cultures have different typical expectations of humour so comedy shows are not always successful when transplanted into another culture.
I guess the joke came from a culture where being wrong is inherently funny.
Or was there another part of that page that you were referring to? Lol
I love when I try to explain things to people and provide information, they just cherry pick through the facts to only affirm their previous biases.
This is the sentence before your quote in the Wiki article:
The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational.
That’s you.
Here’s a picture since you don’t seem to understand words:
Joke
YouDo you get it, since the joke went over your head.
Sorry but is he complaining? It’s two fucking words. It took more effort to type this comment than say the two words.
The quote of him in the article doesn’t sound like it’s a complaint. I think only the headline is pushing that angle. 200 pounds sounds pretty reasonable, given it has to be worth his time to get to the recording, listen to any feedback/change requests, etc.
I’d be interested what people think he should be paid. Based on the downvotes on your comment, people say 200€ is too low? It was in 2009, so inflation adjusted it’s 300€. And the article has the complete raw recording, it took him less than a minute.
I suppose some people expect you should get royalties every time your voice appears anywhere so in their eyes he should be a millionaire from this gig or something ridiculous like that.
Definitely not ridiculous to think so, considering how many people recognize his voice. Just like one great book will be bought by many people and make its author rich, a great line recognized by many people should be remunated as such.
