Where Do These 'Unhinged Home Design' Videos Come From? Animated Videos About Tiny Apartments Explained
The trailer for a live-action Dungeons and Dragons movie starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Regé-Jean Page was released yesterday at Comic-Con, exciting tabletop gamers and, as it turns out, dirty-minded rascals everywhere.
The trailer promises a lighthearted, buddy-adventure action movie through a land of orcs and owlbears. What it doesn't reveal is the name of Chris Pine's character: Edgin, class: Bard. That information was provided by the @DnDMovie Twitter account after the trailer's release, with the simple sentence, "Chris Pine is Edgin the bard."

With just a simple tweak in punctuation, that sentence reads as "Chris Pine is edgin' the bard," which sounded a lot like a sexual euphemism to many. To "edge," as we all know … well, look it up if you don't.
With the phrase "Chris Pine is Edgin the bard" firmly planted in their heads, Twitter users quickly set to work riffing and memeing on the sentence as it proved easy fodder for jokes.
Honestly, that’s their business and you don’t need to share it on the internet. Please respect the privacy of Chris and the bard https://t.co/yfKCUl99gC

In other character-introductions-that-read-like-sentences-news, Hugh Grant is Forge the rogue. The film will come out in March 2023, in case the writers want to slip a "Chris Pine is edgin' the bard" joke in there before release.
