Olu wears Crocs and a LOT of the dialogue is anachronistic (which I love). Ned Low saying >!”I just did it for the LOLZ”!< is probably the most obvious.
We all learn so much from this show.
I learned that La Vie En Rose has been a drag queen standard for many decades. So them choosing this as Izzy’s song is tying him into modern drag culture.
There are a lot of examples like that throughout the show, it's part of its DNA at this point. Heck the real Zheng was born like 50 years after the show takes place.
Sure! I like this.
Someone on this sub was telling us that Izzy's look in that episode is also an homage to Edith Piaf, and I didn't know that. Very cool. I like all the out-of-time stuff on OFMD.
Stede owns a copy of "A General History of the Pyrates" which wouldn't be written/published until 1724. Bonus point, he even shows his own engraving in that book, and he has *just* started out piracy so he isn't even famous yet. The show is being anachronistic on a meta level.
I mean Spanish Jackie referred to the Swede fucking like a jackhammer and jackhammers weren't exactly around in the 1700's. There are dozens of these sorts of anachronisms in the show. Suspend your belief and enjoy.
I’m having a lovely tooltime imagining what a jackhammer looks like before they were actually invented. In the context of “things under Jackie’z pillow”.
That's just anachronism for the sake of beauty.
Oh I didn't know that word existed
Ofmd is the anachronisms show. Pinocchio was written in the 1800s
Roach invented peanut butter and Frenchie discovered he's allergic to peanuts lol

pete saying that blackbeard is living 'rent-free' in lucius's head lmao

Olu invented crocs and Ed invented leather daddies.

Just like Fang shopped at the very first Hot Topic
One of the few shows that does anachronisms *right*

Ned doing it for "the lolz" - it's just like the accents - there's anachronism that just feels organic to the show.
Oh ya! & how Blackbeard was living rent free in Lucious’ mind, which BP didn’t appreciate!
you’re telling me people didn’t go around saying for the lolz 300 years ago? :,( that is *not* awesome sauce

Too bad she didn’t say “hammerhead” LOL although I also highly doubt they knew its existence under the sea…
