The Boys viewers urged to turn on Amazon feature to avoid ‘missing half of jokes’ on show

Is there anything worse than watching a show and finding out on Twitter later you missed a brilliant moment?

Few things can make me feel as left out as realising after the fact that a great joke, or clever reference went over my head.

This is a feeling a lot of The Boys fans will be experiencing today, as one viewer posted on Twitter to point out a vital Amazon feature most will have turned off.

Check out the trailer for the newest season of the hit supe show below:

With the first three episodes dropping on Amazon Prime last week, all talk has been on The Boys – as viewers lap up the gore, violence, and x-rated scenes you wouldn’t find anywhere else.

But, for one scene, there was a hilarious joke hidden behind an optional Amazon feature.

Amazon Prime has an interactive UI called ‘X-Ray’, meaning if you let it – it will pop up with who is on screen while watching – as well as little bits of trivia.

Fast-forward to The Boys season four, and there is a scene where one superhero with the ability to clone himself is…

There’s no better way to put this than ‘human centipeding himself’.

You find a better way to describe it and get back to me. (Amazon Prime)

The sequence had viewers disgusted, with it maybe being the most x-rated scene of the many x-rated scenes that have appeared in The Boys.

But if you had the option for trivia to pop up, you’d be pi**ing yourself laughing.

During this scene where actor Rob Benedict depicts a superhero eating himself out in a long chain around a sauna – the following bit of trivia appears on screen: “Actor Rob Benedict wants us to remind everyone that he studied Shakespeare at Northwestern University.

“There is no contractual obligation for us to carry out this request. This is merely a kind gesture”.

I'm sure this will help everyone keep that in mind during this scene. (Amazon Prime)

This was noticed by Alex Zalben on Twitter who posted: “If you're not watching The Boys with Prime Video's X-Ray feature on, you're missing half the jokes."

This also led to fans pointing out another scene, where we are re-introduced to Ambrosius – an octopus who The Deep (again no better way to put this) f**ks.

The X-Ray feature pops up on screen during this scene to say: “Ambrosius is voice by none other than Academy award winning actress, Tilda Swinton. This is not a joke.”

This feature has another benefit in this case – if you’re like me you were listening to the octopus talking going… no… surely not.
