I don’t think it’s a specific reference, but Black Adder follows a series of fictional incompetent royal family members throughout history all played by Rowan Atkinson. Some of my new favorite work from him.

I just started watching Black Adder, so I’m glad I was able to get the joke. Great show for those who haven’t seen it btw.

I’ve always liked § and ¶. I also don’t see people using ≈ and ~ in context enough. They’re fun to write.

Edit: Almost forgot this guy, too: ‽

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once comes to mind. Redline is another that has a similar feel (the intro sequence is insane)
