rule #1 of tumblr polls is NEVER include a joke option if you don't want it to win by a landslide because tumblr users have one committed relationship in their lives and it's to the bit

Why is this funny and adorable???

So this is at first a bit confusing but really what’s going on here is that Roger is talking about his own mother who wanted him, Roger, to be a surgeon, and then settled for dentistry, and then he met Brian and took him (and Freddie) down to Cornwall lots of times. And Roger’s mum knew Brian had studied physics and was doing postgraduate work in astronomy, and so she said to Brian, hoping he would be the sensible one, ‘Look, Brian, you’re a proper scientist, when are you going to give this nonsense up?’ And instead of him saying something like ‘When I get my doctorate I’ll become a university lecturer’ so that she could say to Roger ‘aha, you see, be like Brian’, he said ‘I wanna be a pop star’.

Lol both of them have trained the other ‘Don’t touch the HAIR!!’
