I think this fashion for overly tight suits is absurd, they look terrible, I'm always
reminded of Norman Wisdom....
I've seen a local weather man who regularly wears suits which look not only too tight but too short )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
They remind me of those men who can't admit theyre not as slim as they were when they got married and still think the suit they wore fits after years in the wardrobe.
" you see honey I told you I'd get into it "
" u think you need to buy a new suit"
" what for, I've only worn this one once and all the youngsters wear their suits like this... It's trendy"
" two words, muffin and mirror! Go buy a new suit that fits"

I guess it depends on how one defines absurdity, but I'll go with "most silly or implausible." With that, and in no particular order, are 10:
1) Bond debuting in the Brosnan era upside down in a lavatory while a Russian soldier is trying to defecate. Not either's finest hour.
2) Bond chasing after an airplane in front of a bad green screen with no visible signs of flight apparatus. I fully expected him to start flapping his arms and for Benny Hill music to start playing.
3) Bond arriving in Venice in a gondola that doubles as a hovercraft, a scene so silly that even a pigeon does a double take, perhaps because it had seen a similar and better scene more than a decade earlier in the Matt Helm film Murderer's Row.
4) Skyfall.
5) M dressing down Bond as a misogynistic relic of the Cold War and then suddenly getting all weak-kneed and school-girly and urging him to return safely.
6) Bond having a conversation with Mathis about whether he really was a traitor or not that does not clear up whether he was a traitor or not.
7) A 1985 Renault split in half and Bond continuing to drive it apparently absent of a fuel tank.
8) Any scene with Denise Richards.
9) Bond with a third nipple. Yeah, I get the reason, and I'm not making fun of a physical condition -- I just don't get why that one was so important.
10) Bond in the tank top and jean ensemble in LALD.
4) Skyfall.
6) Bond having a conversation with Mathis about whether he really was a traitor or not that does not clear up whether he was a traitor or not.
Bond surfing on the bonnet of a land-speed record-breaking vehicle holding parachutes acrest a virtual tsunami. (And yes, I can believe I just used the word 'acrest', it's absurd).
For me the two most ridiculous situations we see Bond are in Octopussy & Goldeneye. In Octopussy it's at the end when he's holding on to the plane, it goes right upside down even and you see it has no grip either. Bond is barely able to grip to it, being on top of the plane you can accept but when it turns right upside down and he doesn't fall off it's just ridiculous. Absurd for sure.
The other moment a Bond film jumps the shark is Goldeneye opening, when Bond rides the motorbike off the cliff and catches up with the plane, his body weight catching up with a plane and conveniently gets into the cockpit. Utterly ridicuous and farcical. How the film went on to be a success after that is a miracle in some ways! Fortunately the rest of the film didn't carry on with such absurdity.

Then forgetting how his suits should be fitted (especially when concealing a PPK) at the age of 44.
That's actually realistic. Lots of 44-year-olds get pudgy and wear old clothes they can no longer fit into!
(Not 44. Just protecc other membrs)

Wait....the whole of Skyfall actually. It doesn't get absurder than that.
Having an underground waggon conveniently break through the floor exactly where you are....must be on top of the list actually.
