gah you british people your shows don't make any sense, why bother trying to analyze anything that's not 22 half-hour episodes long

A dummy asks: what does ""Let's McIntyre this" mean?

Stand up and walk about a bit while you're talking, I assumed. Or point out really obvious things as if you're the first person to have observed them.

ha at the latter, from an insight-vacuum like Stewart it just means exactly what he annotated it as in the same sentence though

I thought it was just that he wanted everyone to stand up and Mcintyre is a 'standup' comedian

Nah, Mannion all the way. He was magnificent in thought camp.

this was virtually laugh-free for me. maybe i don't like the thick of it and i just like pater capaldi as malcolm tucker?
― jed_, Sunday, 23 September 2012 22:37 (thirteen years ago)
i didn't love it as much as everyone else seemed to, but thought the second half was good; it's still way less clever, or less thoughtful, when it's w/the tories - like big chunks of last night, the thought camp things, were constant absurdity, like a whole episode of monkey tennis. i thought glen was really good, & the contrast he provided to the jr lib dems pretty sobering.
― let's get the banned back together (schlump), Sunday, 23 September 2012 23:14 (thirteen years ago)
For some reason nothing in the episode made me laugh as much as Glen and Phil talking about women they fancy. "I like Emily Maitlis".

big bag of useless doubt
this was great! this series feels slightly more mechanical, in charting specific power plays rather than just sprawling through a day, but the writing's so excellent & its critique is so damning.

the emphasis on 'chinless' left me with 'coked-up-cousin fucking chinless aliens', seemed v strange

Consensus that it was the best of the series so far?
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Sunday, 30 September 2012 14:05 (thirteen years ago)
yep definitely
was it 623 twitter followers he had? lost my shit at that for some reason
― Did communist FB take down the awesome bacon quran picture? (DJ Mencap), Sunday, 30 September 2012 14:13 (thirteen years ago)
last week's edges it for me, Mannion's slow-burning frustration at the Thought Camp was magnificent

I was very happy to see Glen and Ollie back together.

glen as decorative LD ornament doesn't totally grab me, but glen as disaffected, depressed government functionary, inert to the climate & still to some degree vaguely principled, is great & powerful, i think

^ that and the flowers gag in close succession were the best thing so far this season

on a par w/last season's "the man in the little red and yellow car"

Not quite sure why there'd be an enquiry into leaking, as opposed to, like, the complete lack of ethics that could lead to an email chain taking the piss out of a dead dude.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 October 2012 11:51 (thirteen years ago)
i guess the govt is trying to make sure everyone gets covered in shit, rather than just them.
― caek, Monday, 15 October 2012 12:24 (thirteen years ago)
dead ppl exempt from pisstaking iirc
Prob because 'leaking' is an endemic culture and 'lol email incident' is standard breach of a standard code, i spose
