aye, he just has an amusing and really expressive face. can elevate some stuff which, as a concept, isn't particularly funny into a belly-laugh.

I usually start laughing as soon as one of the Dee Dee sketches kicks off with "Fockin..."

The girlfriend was roaring with laughter @ Friday Night Dinner. Me, not so much. It's a bit too farcical, maybe too slapstick and most of the laughs are groans rather than funny-bone tickles. Strange because Popper's usually one of the people I can guarantee to make me laugh.

In a recent interview Lindsay said he was "amazed by the public's love for the series".
I noticed the Beeb edited out the "fucking"

I can't work out where: fucking amazed, fucking public or fucking series? Or "public's love fucking for the series"?

"fucking amazed". the word between "public's" and "love" was "inexfuckingplicable"

was on BBC2, something about some film nerd and each episode was based on the plot of a movie or something. they forgot to put anything funny in it.

Thought the final Limmy was a bit weak but i lol'd at "chocolate choux" and the Dee Dee fakeout.
― Number None, Friday, 25 March 2011 18:28 (fifteen years ago)
It was bit weak, but I agree with dog latin, the Dee Dee bus trip to Yorker sketch from a couple of weeks back was excellent. I like the unhurried nature of his sketches in general.

Anyone watching Burnistoun (s2)? It's still hit and miss but seemed to be more hits than misses and the hits made me actually lol.

I'm Licking JK Rowling song was hilarious. FOR REAL.
Also "wait in here with my dad and all my mad uncles", "I can't hear the movie because of all the squeaking" and the characters who ran the van...it's definitely an improvement on S1.
― these are my everyday balloons (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 22:27 (fifteen years ago)
I watched a couple of episodes of Campus last night. It made me laugh out loud. I thought it was going to be greenwing at uni but the tone is different. It's like a peepshow, greenwing mesh. I'm waiting for the characters to gain a bit more depth before I decide if I am a fan. It did feel a bit cheesy and calculated at times, like "look at all these fabulous stereo types we've invented". Be interested to hear what other people think.

Managed 2 episodes. The sleazy English teacher is quite good, a bit like Guy the Anaesthetist in Green Wing. The other characters aren't rounded enough and too few of them. The episodes drag a bit.
― mmmm, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 10:36 (fifteen years ago)
I didn't enjoy the first one at all but stuck with it and tbh as the weeks have gone on I've actually grown to like the plot(s) to the point where the fact it isn't funny doesn't really matter.
― 4, 5, 6, The monkey's got a hockey stick (aldo), Thursday, 28 April 2011 21:14 (fifteen years ago)
I've watched one more and have decided that it's funny, but too aware of itself, which stops it from being really funny, if that makes sense?
― I am leader of the sheeple (captain rosie), Thursday, 28 April 2011 22:31 (fifteen years ago)
Can't disagree, but the woman in the office who's now pretending to be lesbian and the accountant guy is keeping me watching.
― 4, 5, 6, The monkey's got a hockey stick (aldo), Thursday, 28 April 2011 22:41 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, they are the best characters. Of I had lots of spare time, I'd probably be more into it. It's not comedy gold though is it?
― I am leader of the sheeple (captain rosie), Thursday, 28 April 2011 22:46 (fifteen years ago)
No, it's not. I'm struggling to think of it as a comedy any more - although I laughed like a drain at "I'll just pretend it's a tit" this week, and the Canadian woman over the end credits.
― 4, 5, 6, The monkey's got a hockey stick (aldo), Thursday, 28 April 2011 22:49 (fifteen years ago)
I did laugh when the VC shouts at what is obviously normal people on a mega phone. Very cruel, but very funny.
