Bart Air ‘flight attendants' hand out snacks in hilarious viral prank video
One of the videos, now sitting at over 86,000 likes, shows a woman in a navy blue flight attendant-style outfit pushing a cart labeled 'Flight Attendants in Training.' She hands out snacks using silver tongs, while a soothing British voiceover plays in the background, spoofing an airline ad.

'Thank you for flying Bart Air'
In another clip, shared on Reddit, a man in an ascot serves treats while another team member - red hair, big grin, and a mic in hand - delivers announcements over a small speaker.
'Thank you for cooperating with our wonderful flight attendants team,' the man says, before introducing the snack server as 'a 10-year veteran of the force' and the woman as 'dishonorably discharged from United Airlines,' SF Gate reports.
The attention to detail had some riders doing double takes. And for viewers online, it was the kind of chaos that makes perfect sense in the age of prank culture.
Commenters could not get enough. One TikTok user wrote, 'I love weird people who are just trying to make other people smile.' Another simply said, 'May the snack distribution service find us all.'

When Shah Rukh Khan said he deserved National Award for Swades, not Saif Ali Khan for Hum Tum: 'I should have got it'
The National Film Award win for Best Actor for Jawan ended a 33-year drought for Shah Rukh Khan. Arguably the biggest star of Hindi cinema in the last three decades, Shah Rukh has had some critically acclaimed performances that came close to a win, but never quite landed. Both fans and critics believe that his best shot at a National Award win was in 2004 when he aced his role in Swades. However, the award went to Saif Ali Khan for Hum Tum that year. A recently resurfaced video shows that even Shah Rukh felt he deserved the award more. Shah Rukh Khan's critically acclaimed performance in Swades lost in the National Awards race to Saif Ali Khan in 2004. When Shah Rukh addressed his National Award snub The video is from an event organised by Tag Heuer in the late 2000s. It shows Shah Rukh on stage with director Kunal Kohli and anchor Mandira Bedi. Shah Rukh addresses a query from Kunal about his favourite films and says, "See, main dil ka bahut acha hoon. Saari filmein achi lagti hain, saare hero ache lagte hain, saari heroine achi lagti hain, har cheez achi lagti hai (I am good by heart. I like all films, all heroes, and all heroines). I am a simple-minded person; I like everything, including your films. I have loved them all." He then addresses Kunal's films and adds, "Fanaa was very good. I think Hum Tum was very nice. His actor won the National Award for Hum Tum when I think I should have got it, but that's another story." Shah Rukh breaks into laughter towards the end, and even Kunal Kohli manages a sheepish smile at the comment. Fans agree with Shah Rukh The video resurfaced after Shah Rukh's National Award win on Friday night. It was shared on Reddit with the title: "Throwback to the time SRK publicly said that he should have won the National Award in 2005 for Swades than Saif for Hum Tum." Most fans agreed with Shah Rukh's assertion in the comments section. One comment read, "Agreed here. I can't fathom how even Hum Tum was considered for Saif to get the award.I've watched Hum Tum, and I like it, but did I believe it was what makes Saif National Award worthy? No, absolutely not!" Another added, "He truly deserved it for Swades, tbh." One fan tried to explain why Shah Rukh missed out on the award that year. "Unfortunately for him, TS Nagabharana was on the jury that year and openly questioned the integrity of Swades, even claiming it plagiarised his own film," read the comment. Shah Rukh has often said that the box office failure of films like Swades, where he experimented with something different, forced him to reconsider his choices, leading him to do more commercial films later in his career. Many fans wondered if a National Award win for the film would have changed that. "What a pity. Although Swades without an award is no less. But it would have been such a great moment for him and would've somehow healed some of the scars of Swades' BO failure. Might have made him choose similar films at least one more time, which he never did because of Swades' BO failure," wondered one Redditor. About the 71st National Film Awards At the 71st National Film Awards, Shah Rukh shared the Best Actor prize with Vikrant Massey, who was adjudged joint winner for his performance in 12th Fail. Rani Mukerji won Best Actress for her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. 12th Fail also won Best Film. Later on Friday, Shah Rukh took to Instagram and posted a video message of gratitude, thanking his Jawan director Atlee, fans, his team, and also his family. Talking about what the National Award win means for him, Shah Rukh said, "The National Award is not just about achievement. It's a reminder that what I do matters. It tells me to keep going, keep working hard, keep creating, and keep serving cinema. In a world full of noise, to be truly heard is a blessing. And I promise to use this recognition not as a finish line, but as fuel to continue striving, learning, and giving back. This award is a reminder that acting is not just work, but a responsibility to show truth on the screen."

Kate Middleton never wears these 5 things in public
(Image Credits: Pinterest) Kate Middleton is undeniably one of the most stylish women in the British royal family. Considering her numerous duties as the future queen of England, she has keenly followed the rules and regulations as the Princess of Wales. She always abides by the royal directives, which include maintaining a strict dress code. Despite having an expansive wardrobe, there are a few rare fashion items that she rarely sports. This consists of a particular colour as well. The shade of orange The royals steer clear of the orange shade. However, this has a theory that doesn't photograph well. Although the late queen was spotted in this bright hue many a time, because of its bright palette, Kate Middleton refrains from wearing this hue. However, she's seen in peach and coral shades, which have always been on the table for her. (Image Credits: Pinterest) High wedges are a big no Although there's no royal rule against wearing sandals, Kate has never been seen wearing heeled wedges. It is said that the late queen didn't like its vibe, so Kate Middleton adhered to her tone and, on most of the accounts, is seen in high-heeled sandals, mules, and bellies. Kate Middleton's 10 stylish moments Sneakers and a purse don't go hand in hand Kate allegedly never wears a purse when she's donning sneakers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Extragrande 4 BHKs at 7 Mahalaxmi from 10.81 Cr* 7 Mahalaxmi, Runwal Group Enquire Now Undo Nobody knows the styling logic behind this, but speaking of sneakers, Kate prefers to stick to functional brands like Superga, New Balance, Nike, and Adidas, and has never seen sneaker brands like Converse and Puma. On top of that, she's never carried any of Princess Diana's handbags, even though she's inherited many pieces from Diana's personal collection. Cartier is a go-to choice Kate never wears a timepiece except for her Cartier Ballon Bleu watch, which looks formal and subtle. In nearly every public appearance, whether with a lavish gown or a simple co-ord set, she always carries this simple piece. Many of the other royals have been spotted in stunning timepieces, but Kate likes to keep things simple and subtle. (Image Credits: Pinterest) No Versace ensemble in the wardrobe While the Princess of Wales has been spotted wearing multiple luxurious labels from across the globe, there's one brand she's never seen in. It's Versace. Versace outfits are known for their bold, opulent, and sensual designs and include rich fabrics and intricate detailing, with iconic motifs that can be a daring pick for the royal princess. Although the brand is an epitome of female empowerment and luxury, she has never donned any of their pieces. The Princess of Wales couldn't be more of a beauty icon if she tried. Almost all of the things mentioned above seem like her personal choice, which makes her more refined and directive. She consistently maintains her impeccable style, making her unique and iconic.

Sydney Sweeney's denim ad got cancelled for Nazi propaganda? Now American Eagle just dropped the mic saying, 'it's just jeans, not genes'
Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle are deep in the fashion trenches this week, and it is all because of... jeans. Or rather, genes. The 27-year-old Euphoria actress starred in a denim ad campaign with the cheeky line, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' and the internet immediately lost its collective mind. American Eagle vs the internet: The great jeans meltdown The pun, clearly riffing on both genetics and denim, was too much for some users to handle. Social media lit up with backlash, accusing the brand of toeing dangerously close to Nazi ideology due to the campaign's emphasis on Sweeney's blonde hair and blue eyes. One user even predicted the ad would end up 'in history books.' Talk about drama in the group chat. Critics cry fascism, others call it a stretch TikTok and Instagram users had some strong opinions, calling the ad 'Nazi propaganda weird' and 'fascist-coded.' The combination of a conventionally attractive white woman praising her 'great genes' stirred a cultural pot no brand wants to boil over. One person remarked that the visual message felt straight out of a fascist handbook. Another chimed in saying the ad felt 'like Nazi s–t,' throwing all chill out the window. Even celebrities jumped in. Lizzo posted a photoshopped version of herself in the same denim outfit, captioned, 'My jeans are black…' Meanwhile, Doja Cat made a TikTok mocking Sweeney's ad voiceover with an exaggerated accent. The sarcasm was thick, the eye-rolls even thicker. AE finally responds… kinda After days of being dragged, American Eagle issued a statement trying to pull the brakes on the internet spiral. They clarified the campaign was only about the jeans—her jeans, her story, her confidence. The brand reassured fans that their denim is for everyone and that 'great jeans look good on everyone.' However, AE seems to be slowly nudging Sydney out of the spotlight. Their latest promo featured other models, captioned: 'Denim on denim on denim… AE has great jeans.' Subtle? Maybe. Strategic? Absolutely. Controversy sells… apparently Despite the drama, AE's stock surged over 10% after the campaign launched. While the court of public opinion is still divided, the brand's bottom line says otherwise. Whether accidental or genius marketing, one thing is clear, this campaign has legs.
