Nina Conti = daughter of Tom. She's a ventroloquist, but she's also funny

Ooh, I think I know who you mean - yes, very good.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 17 November 2006 14:19 (nineteen years ago)

yes: can't remember where i saw her, but she was great.

i saw a trailer for "blunder" and it looked weak. however, i am a miserable tit and often proved wrong, so ...

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 17 November 2006 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

She has a monkey puppet and she makes it swear at her and it rogers pint glasses and stuff. This is a lot funnier than it sounds on paper, really.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 17 November 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

She's gets away with this by having her being a very shy, giggly, nervous little girl, while this monkey's rude and brash - I can't remember seeing such a gap between the puppet's personality and the operator's before.

Who's Tom Meeten? Says Mighty Boosh, but GIS shows me someone who I've never seen before in my life.

― Hi There! Dear Johnney B (stigoftdump), Friday, 17 November 2006 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure the trailer features Noel Fielding in a wig.

That sounds very funny on paper, Ailsa. It can't possibly live up to it.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 17 November 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

imdb says Tom Meeten was Peppo in the Fountain Of Youth Episode of Boosh. um, i think that makes him slightly less famous than the locksmith with the whistle in series 1.

― Koogy Yonderboy (koogs), Friday, 17 November 2006 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Ailsa is right. Nina Conti is very funny. I like not just the contrast between her lovely poshness and the monkey's rampant badassedness, but also the fact that she finds the monkey funny too and often laughs, and the monkey just looks funny. Most enjoyable.

Rhys Thomas played Swiss Toni's protege Paul in The Fast Show and was in Nathan Barley too.

two months pass...

Heh, they're doing the Mac ads now
http://www.apple.com/uk/getamac/ads/

― stet (stet), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

Ag, they're ruining it.

Just started watching Series 3 on DVD - still a delight.

― Edward III (edward iii), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

I quite like shenanigans and japes in the Pie Chart one.

― stet (stet), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

taking sides: mitchell and web mac ads vs those guys from 'green wing' barclaycard ads.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 09:23 (nineteen years ago)

The Barclaycard ones aren't nearly as annoying as the radio ones - most of the national radio ads in the UK are voiced by people who've been in Green Wing, I think.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 09:25 (nineteen years ago)

adverts are great, for adverts. have seen the american ones with him off of daily show on youtube.

― Koogy Bloogies (koogs), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 09:31 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha, the ads won't play on my iBook. Perhaps they detect that I already have an apple computer, so I don't need another one?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 09:33 (nineteen years ago)

No, I can't get any video either - even downloading it and playing it in QT Pro 6.5.2 which I* paid for. Well done, Apple!

(* - my work)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

they're on youtube, bros!!!!!!

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

Also I've just realised mine won't play because of my, er, adblocker. I R BRANE.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

Oh dear, I like M&W, but those adds are really punchable. LOL at "Macs don't need restarts!"

― Johnney B English (stigoftdump), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

And the background music sounds like Salad Fingers. Which is bad.

― Johnney B English (stigoftdump), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

I think they're pretty decent. They're ads!

― === temporary username === (Mark C), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

The ass-suckingness of Quicktime is just astonishing. Why do Quicktime movies just create a question mark in your browser sometimes? Who knows? Why doesn't the spacebar start and stop a Quicktime movie when it's in your browser, the way it used to? Who knows? Why do some big Quicktime movies not load up completely in the standalone app, so that only like the first 5 minutes are available? Etc. etc.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

What would be cool is if they now did an ad for Dell or someone.

― Johnney B English (stigoftdump), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

i just watched all three of the series online over the past two days. pretty funny! is it wrong that i find robert webb and his flarey nostrils kind of cuet?

― homosexual II, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

No, no it isn't. If loving Robert Webb is wrong, I don't want to be right. Or something. He's kind of cute anyway.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

I have heard *extremely* bad reports about the new Mitchell and Webb movie:
http://www.totalfilm.com/movie_news/the_peep_show_team_are_magicians

― Stevie T, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

i dont know, magicians are sort of automatically hilarious aren't they? it could be okay!

― homosexual II, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

anyone wanna take a crack at guessing what else is on jez's sex mix besides sweet reggae? i want the track listing.

― homosexual II, Thursday, 22 March 2007 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

it will be odd seeing teh new 'peep show' now they're properly famous.

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

if it makes you feel any better they still mean fuck-all over here in the states

― Edward III, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

I have heard *extremely* bad reports about the new Mitchell and Webb movie

Sadly I have too. Perhaps if they'd got a proper director to direct it instead of letting the producer do it it might have been okay. Such a disappointment.

― Mark C, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 20:56 (nineteen years ago)

This isn't very good.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

Lets WHISPER exposition at each other because we've had a RENEWED marketing PUSH and thus may have NEW VIEWERS.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, if Sophie is from this minor aristocratic family why does she work in a medium pay sales job?

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

i am so shit at liking or not liking stuff. for some reason if it's been overexposed, i find it harder to like. so i wasn't loving this, there was no "welcome to big school" moment. but i can't say it was too bad either, just oppressively cynical.

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:12 (nineteen years ago)

you're pretty good at not liking stuff surely.

i quite enjoyed this without thinking about it much at all.

― blueski, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:13 (nineteen years ago)

i mean 'Ramadan' is always funny.

― blueski, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

i like 'l o s t'

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:16 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it was fine. Not a spectacular return, but pretty good.

― chap, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

I realise I am disagreeing with people who think going 'OBIE TRICE' is funny, but this was great. The Jamie character was scarily well-observed (ie he is EXACTLY like my friend's little brother).

― Matt DC, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

So you think it was better than series 3 then Matt?

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:39 (nineteen years ago)

The grumpy father was a bit Meet The Parents and the randy Mum was a bit ho-hum. But I laughed; the suituations were all a bit obvious, but there were some good lines in there.

Oh yeah that Jamie character = just so, so like this kid I house-shared with a couple of years ago.

― DavidM, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it was about as good as a middling episode of series one or three, which is to say very good. Problem is that the second series was so great it skewed everything.

Needed more internal monologues, and more Super Hans.

― Matt DC, Friday, 13 April 2007 22:50 (nineteen years ago)

OBIE TRICE

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 13 April 2007 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

Obie Trice: I'm a Mac
Joe Budden: And I'm a PC

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 13 April 2007 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

"I [i]am[/i} James Bond!" - that bit was funny.

― Stevie T, Saturday, 14 April 2007 00:23 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck. I forgot this way on. Is it repeated on E4 or something?

― Nasty, Brutish & Short, Saturday, 14 April 2007 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

"Haven't seen this yet but one of the writers is a friend.

down a shot

― That one guy that quit, Saturday, 14 April 2007 08:42 (nineteen years ago)

meh.
