I don't like Mark Heap.

So I gather.

DVD Rom game!

Last night's Mitchell and Webb was an improvment on the first series, I thought. Still a fair amount of lameness (how fucking long did they eke out that Da Vinci Code spoof?) but some genuine laughs as well. Liked the racist war reinacters and the bronze age orientation particularly.

LoG:A is genuinely awful - ten minutes of playing-to-the-crowd half-arsed sketches and then an hour and a half of 'OMG wouldn't it be really innovative if WE turned up in the story?' when really they should've just made a really dark gothic horror or murder mystery or something.

lame

Thick of It entry needed that "you ever take the piss outta Jolson again...." rant

"I have here a copy of your book, Origins of the Crimean War. It smells of poo." "That's because it's been inside your mum's bra."

ha

the Dr Cox one is bad - he's got better ones

most of those are rright show, wrong quote.

lol @ Rimmer

why didn't they include animated comedies? because they would dominate i guess

Father Jack Hackett - Father Ted. "Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!"

morons who think this is a "put down". i can't think of an alternative right now tho. maybe "how did that gobshite get on TV?" re Dougal.

Inspector Monkfish is the only one that raised a smile with me.

good and very english put-down in fawlty towers: "do i detect the smell of burning martyr?". said with real acid.

Alf Garnett - Till Death Us Do Part. "You Scouse git!"

incredibly lame choice, but i guess they couldn't go with the racist stuff

Percy (re his new ruff): "The fashion these days is towards the tiny, my Lord"
Edmund: "Well in that case you must have the most fashionable brain in London"

blackadder 2-4 are all zings, all the time. blackadder himself is the og zingmaster.

"to you, the renaissance was just something that happened to other people"

^^^I used this one on Perpetua once

Sorry, not the Renaissance. Fitness First.

i love the Malcolm Tucker one - so topical

"I'd like to see the Spaniard who could get past me!"
"Well go to Spain, there are millions of them."

Videogaiden February Christmas Retro Special

Easily the funniest guys in Britain right now. Lolled at so much of this, especially the Emily Booth and Dave Perry stuff.

banking a lot on people remembering Gamesmaster but yeah I approve

"hotter than Cathy Dennis and Betty Boo writhing together in the same grave"

Isn't that the Poptimists motto?

That Ricky Gervais article at the top of the thread was going so well until the last paragraph.

"Do you really think that's wise, sir?">>>>"Stupid boy"

"Do you really think that's wise, sir?"

Aching for an Eric Morecambe punchline, that was.

dvd "rom" ?

it's only just occurred to me how weird it sounds

that's why it's read only AHAHAHAHAHAHA

ken ski

nathan barley and peep show are the closest we have to genius, peep show actually attains genius at times.

*sigh*

Still missing him?

Bart: Mom, I just saw Krusty!
Marge: Yes, dear, in your mind.
Bart: No, on the street.
Marge: On the street in your mind.

e) "Do you know if Foxton's is owned by Bruce Foxton of The Jam?"

i am listening to this RIGHT NOW. i love this show.

Halfway through Teenage Kicks.

ITV really is in trouble, isn't it?

Eddie Hitler meets My Family -> THIS DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE

oh how the mighty have fallen etc.

more Gavin & Stacey love

Oh man I read a painful interview with Ade Edmonson in the Daily Mail the other day. He's on a "first rule of comedy - you must have reality" kick and in denial about everything he's previously done. Which is fine until you watch that shite he's just written.

more Gavin & Stacey love

Rob Brydon's best work since Marion & Geoff in this.

Why does no one ever talk about 'Pulling'? It is pretty good, I think.

I don't know which is worse, Ade Edmondson being interviewed in the Daily Mail or an ilxor reading it.

Pulling, that's pretty shit.

Saw Gavin and Stacey for the first time last night. It's pretty good at what it does, but its gentle character comedy and light whimsy hardly excited me. All a bit Richard Curtis, dare I say it.

the last few episodes of G&S have been a bit off - start with the first series altho none of it is 'exciting' as such.

So, hey, I watched that The Wall last night. That's not so good.

e) "Do you know if Foxton's is owned by Bruce Foxton of The Jam?"

i am listening to this RIGHT NOW. i love this show.

Although, in defence of this nation, "Listen: don't knock The Jam, they was there for a lot of people" may be the funniest thing anyone has said this decade.

it's no The Priory xp
