Bait My Clickhole

that one is great

don't see it as mocking uk series lengths so much as bores who go on about how the british model is CLEARLY SUPERIOR to american seasons (because some hallowed piece of shit only ran for 12 eps + oblig xmas spesh)

I was surprised to learn that these xmas specials actually air on xmas day. But I guess that's what makes them special and not just an xmas themed ep.

I thought only the Office had an xmas special

Downton Abbey is most popular xmas special as far as I can tell

xp the gervais sitcoms were what I was thinking of when I said that but there are plenty of others

Hanukkah one has made me retract my multiple-authir theory

the first time I looked at this they had the harrison ford and jon hamm picures switched. I assumed it was on purpose, but I guess not since they fixed it. I think they should have just kept it.

also:

Steven Spielberg was attempting to shoot his first documentary, Jade Mysteries: Our Planet’s Jungles, when an unknown man carrying a whip ran on set, grabbing as many things as he could find and screaming, “These belong in a museum!” Spielberg saw something special, and spliced all his jungle footage together with the stranger’s screaming in order to transform Jade Mysteries into Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

seems crazy that Fawlty had no Xmas spesh.

fawlty is where the 12 eps meme originates but it is not a piece of shit it is a v good situation comedy but it would have been better if they'd made more eps but I guess they just weren't up to it

sorry for OT

the "12 eps and a christmas special" thing is just Gervais repeating over and over that what he does is the perfect way of doing things, and Americans listening to the narcissistic awareness-vortex

see the Talking Funny special where the four comics are talking about how long their sets are and how they work them up gradually in clubs in front of audiences and he's all "UGH how could you possibly go in front of people who won't think your jokes are good before you say them?" and Louis CK says "I do about an hour and a half" and Gervais goes "what??" and Rock says "I can go two hours if the crowd's good" and Gervais goes "are you mental?" and Seinfeld says "I guess I do about 70 minutes" and Gervais explodes "EXACTLY! Exactly! That's what I do, yes"

I can't watch those things, he's just unbearable. And doesn't know shit about comedy!

Sorry I'm preaching to the choir & shitting up thread I'll shut up

im sure their must be some thread where u all can talk about how many episodes there are in a season of tv shows

A couple of the episodes aren't that great - they have their moments, but.

2. What Christmas mantra do you say over and over every day at sundown until you are dismissed?

“Follow the star, retrieve the baby. Follow the star, retrieve the baby.”
“The breath of Donner sustains me; I breathe it every day.”
“No Enemy shall prosper; my Christmas is too strong.”
“I’m a good little Christmas slut; I live in a good little Christmas hut.”

I like that the Christmas one doesn't just feel like an attempt to exactly replicate the Hannukah one's vibe, it sort of has its own Christmasy feel to it.

"the omelet stuffed with Mentos" just made me lose my shit

yeah that

Weird that this one ends with a serious message

Luck is not a health plan. It’s time to get real, quality health coverage you can actually afford with GetCovered Illinois.

PRESENTED BY
Get Covered Illinois

Well that's still kind of weird. They're partnering w/ humor sites?

well now you and i both know about get covered illinois

maryland health connection's fucking me over so maybe i'll move and give it a try

i think part of the whole raison d'etre of Clickhole is that they can go ahead and work any kind of advertisement or mention of sponsors into the site and it just kind of enhances the verisimilitude instead of detracting from it like it often does on The Onion.

All those "Lesser sites" are real, even though they look like parodies also.

that's what i mean. the whole genre their parodying constantly looks like a self-parody, so they can make easy revenue off of filling the page with ads/links that make it look more 'real.'
