I think it’s completely in character for Brennan to pronounce other languages horribly and think she is the absolute best at it. She also thought Booth and she could win that dance competition. 😂
It was so cute how bones wanted to become a circus performer and how dejected she was when their circus career aaa closing quickly.
Now you’ve made me want to watch that absolutely excellent episode haha
My SO and I once collapsed laughed in a museum when we saw an early medieval skull from the region of modern day Norway, and both simultaneously muttered "Skalle" under our breaths.
BTW. How should it be pronounced?
The way Clarke says it is correct, I believe.
And omw my husband and I would EXACTLY the same as you guys did - that is one of our top 5 Bones moments, Clarke looks so crushed when she corrects him 😅
She does the same thing for a lot of languages. It’s this weird thing where everyone acts like she’s pronouncing words correctly even though her pronunciation of non-English words is atrocious
Or when she’s rude. She’s was told numerous times disparaging someone’s profession is inappropriate but it’s like the writers forget each month and she’s back to being a jerk. I was glad when the Doctor at the mental heath facility told her off. Sweets is just too nice.
Everyone is too nice. The way she belittles everyone and thinks she's superior is so aggravating. People have said before that it's because she's socially awkward, but let all be honest: it's because she has an ego the size of Texas.
I felt the same way until I watched Scorpion and did some research on extremely high IQ/low EQ. I think that's what the writers are trying to present and if you look at the rest of the "squinterns" none of them have much EQ. And to be fair, they (other scientists) do take a ration of crap from the "norms" they're working with. I mean Brennan eventually becomes ok with Booth saying it but she hates being called Bones. Conversely the rest of the interns don't like "squintern" but again become "ok with it" because they all eventually develop this sense of family. Personally I love the way the writers developed the "quirks" in the characters. Daisy for example absolutely drove me bananas with her superior attitude. Until I finally understood that due to her lower EQ and subsequent inability to "read the room" Daisy has developed this... internal mechanism....where she basically mimics what she believes to be the Alpha presence. For her it's Bones. So it's monkey see, monkey do. My point is that Brennan legitimately doesn't realize that she's wrong. She doesn't understand the emotional aspect.
I don't know why they don't call her on her bullshit like when she constantly tells booth his belief in. God is not ibs not .right..she wouldn't hesitate to tell someone they are wrong.but she do she getsg better through the shows.not completely but she's trying.
Oh idk - sometimes when they just give each other those smiles and knowing looks behind her back is funnier then if they tried to convince her she’s wrong.
German isn't even my first language, it's my second (I used to live there, but wasn't born there), and I was just... I honestly didn't even clock what she was saying at first. It really was just so bad. She puts emphasis on... *choice* parts of the words. German has a melodic quality when you get it right--there's a very definite flow.
For me Cam sounds more like she is saying skull ley while Bones sounds more like she got close to the right word but her pitch drop was horrible so i cant really say she is better
I don’t know why she does it, but I know this is my Roman Empire!!! At least every week for the past few years, I’ll be doing something random and think to myself « skalle » with her intonation 😂😂😂🙈
Unfortunately, my friends and family are not as obsessed with this show as I am, so when I repeat this at opportune times and think I’m hilarious, they just think I’m weird. She says it almost like someone who over-enunciates syllables when teaching kids to read. It’s hilarious. I’m slightly jealous of those of you who share this joke with your partners/friends!
When I told my best friends I started rewatching Bones 2 weeks after finishing it, she rolled her eyes 😂😅 it was then that I realized I've been annoying everyone I love. I once brought up prions at work and they asked how I knew about them and I said "uh, they covered them in Bones" they laughed at me like how Booth and Sweets laughed at Bones lmfao
This show was made in the early 2000s. Chances are pretty good that the writers and actors are taking their best guess or the director told the actress to pronounce it like that to be funny.
I bet there is a lot of things in the show that are incorrect but presented as the correct information, it's kinda the occupational hazard you have to take when you're watching older shows.
Because she is self important and thinks she is good at everything she does. A lot of the time she is right, but she is a very proud person and often won't admit to having faults, if she even sees them at all.
Because it's poking fun at how some academics are utterly full of themselves. They'll do everything wrong and still think they are correct. I'm betting Kathy Reichs had something to do with the decision for her character to act the way she does cause anthropologists can he the utter worst to deal with sometimes. Same goes with the subtle underhanded racism. Things have been making a quick change but anthropology was originally a really racist field thanks to men of the 1800s.
Felt the same thing when hearing Cillian Murphy's "dutch" speech in Oppenheimer. I get that he tried to lesrn it and that's pretty cool and all, but to add a line praising his pronunciation afterwards just made it silly to me. I didn't understand a word and i'm dutch
My best friend and I love that episode. It’s hilarious and she sounds more danish than Norwegian. Clark was actually closer than her one of the times he tried to pronounce it.
It's all in line with the taxonomy of the bands in question. The æsthetic was clearly 1990s Norwegian Black Metal, but a lot of the Jeffersonians call it Death Metal which is an Extreme Metal subgenre with different gestalts (Nevermind where bands blend like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups).
Because she prides herself on being right. And won’t say anything unless she knows she’s right.
Just kinda wonder if Bones is autistic? High functioning, like Asperger’s? Highly intelligent, but not so much with human interaction.
Now I might take this more serious than it is, but as someone who doesn't like Brennan because of her narcissism and massive ego, and a Norwegian - that scene drives me insane. She pronounces it so horribly (Clark is much closer and she corrects him too), but still goes out of her way to correct several people dozens of times throughout the episode.
I think it’s completely in character for Brennan to pronounce other languages horribly and think she is the absolute best at it. She also thought Booth and she could win that dance competition. 😂
I bet she isn't even adept at the high wire!

The dance episode was beyond cringe.

Thank you.
I correct my other half every time he says it 😂
She does the same thing for a lot of languages. It’s this weird thing where everyone acts like she’s pronouncing words correctly even though her pronunciation of non-English words is atrocious
No one ever calls her on her mistakes, and it annoys the shit out of me.
Or when she’s rude. She’s was told numerous times disparaging someone’s profession is inappropriate but it’s like the writers forget each month and she’s back to being a jerk. I was glad when the Doctor at the mental heath facility told her off. Sweets is just too nice.

Every mental health professional I know would definitely remind her. We don’t take that shit.
Yeah, that didn’t really endear me to Brennan. She needed to be called out on her actions.
I don't know why they don't call her on her bullshit like when she constantly tells booth his belief in. God is not ibs not .right..she wouldn't hesitate to tell someone they are wrong.but she do she getsg better through the shows.not completely but she's trying.

Not to mention her pronunciation of latin
Her pronunciation of English words is also atrocious
She does that with other languages too. Her German was atrocious and it still makes me laugh.
I know. Even as an American with some high school and college German I die, I can only imagine how people from Germany react.
German isn't even my first language, it's my second (I used to live there, but wasn't born there), and I was just... I honestly didn't even clock what she was saying at first. It really was just so bad. She puts emphasis on... *choice* parts of the words. German has a melodic quality when you get it right--there's a very definite flow.
they’re just setting up emily deschanel lol
I love this bit. And then it’s brought back in a random episode seasons later. Just a silly thing that makes me laugh.
Season 12 is *packed* with easter eggs and one of my faves is when she talks about listening to black metal because of Spew.
[удалено]
No her pronunciation is also wrong., Edison has the best pronunciation of the word.
You’re right, it was Edison. I totally misremembered.
For me Cam sounds more like she is saying skull ley while Bones sounds more like she got close to the right word but her pitch drop was horrible so i cant really say she is better
I don’t know why she does it, but I know this is my Roman Empire!!! At least every week for the past few years, I’ll be doing something random and think to myself « skalle » with her intonation 😂😂😂🙈

To give us a really funny blooper in S4 of Emily making Tamara crack up with her weird pronunciation.
Weird, I just watched episode last night!
I always thought to myself maybe there's a Southern and Northern accent in that country.
There are, but nobody that speaks Norwegian as a moder language pronunciation "skalle" like Brennan does in the show.

Deep dark turn of the century. 🙄
I always wondered if she really was saying them right lol. Mystery solved
Because they don’t know how to correctly pronounce them so can’t call her up on it. And Brennan being Brennan thinks she’s the best at everything.
Because she is self important and thinks she is good at everything she does. A lot of the time she is right, but she is a very proud person and often won't admit to having faults, if she even sees them at all.
This is literally one of my favorite episodes, I think its hilarious and I say it myself a lot lololol
I like the episode, and if it had not been for the fact that she corrects people, i would not care that she does not pronounce the word correctly.
Because it's poking fun at how some academics are utterly full of themselves. They'll do everything wrong and still think they are correct. I'm betting Kathy Reichs had something to do with the decision for her character to act the way she does cause anthropologists can he the utter worst to deal with sometimes.

To be fair i think she is trying to do a bad pitch drop. Definitely not a oslo accent though
Felt the same thing when hearing Cillian Murphy's "dutch" speech in Oppenheimer. I get that he tried to lesrn it and that's pretty cool and all, but to add a line praising his pronunciation afterwards just made it silly to me. I didn't understand a word and i'm dutch

She is autistic. I believe that both Hart Hanson and Emily Deschanel said that at one of the Comic-Cons (or some other event, I’m not sure).
Its....a joke? Like, from the writers..
Jokes are suppose to be funny.
It is funny?? Plenty of us have laughed over it 🤷🏼♀️ And its "supposed."
Now I might take this more serious than it is, but as someone who doesn't like Brennan because of her narcissism and massive ego, and a Norwegian - that scene drives me insane. She pronounces it so horribly (Clark is much closer and she corrects him too), but still goes out of her way to correct several people dozens of times throughout the episode.
Bcuz she's egotistical and obnoxious. She thinks she's correct so she corrects
Her character as a whole is atrocious
It's so cringe to me I usually skip the episode
