Well, all I have to say to you is STFU. You obviously get crappy TV over in your deserted island on which you happen to be residing. Otherwise, you might be referring to knock-knock jokes or whatever...Quote:

. . . and some others I forget.
Spaced was funny and Black Books is orsum.
Welsh people are very fond of "Gavin and Stacey", and I'll agree that it is quite amusing.
New series starts on sunday :happy:
I've never heard of a lot of them - I'd be tempted to download some except that The Mighty Boosh is on your good list when it's blatantly shite.Quote:

Noel Fielding's cameos on other shows promised me so much yet he delivered so little :no:
Altho' I think I've seen Darkplace mentioned as being goodly a few times.
Darkplace has Moss from IT Crowd (and who cameos in Mighty Boosh) in it as well as the guy who takes over the company in the second series, Matt Berry. Man to Man with Dean Learner is a spin-off of Darkplace.Quote:

Snuff Box is Matt Berry again, alongside Rich Fulcher (both were also in Mighty Boosh).
Nighty Night is a dark comedy with the other one from Mighty Boosh, Julian Barrat's missus in it.
All funnier than a rabbit with aids.
Mighty Boosh rawks btw.
monkey dust was quality. fact.
Didn't they actually have a rabbit with aids in that?Quote:

There's no torrent of Darkplace in uknova, the nzb I found is too old so I'm gonna have to get it off thebox - and my ratio sucks there :dabs:
Anything by Chris Morris is great.
TheDayToday
BrassEye
Nathan Barley
and a few more....
I've got it on my hard drive, I'll burn it off and get CG to post it to you.Quote:

My subconscious hinting was more for an alternative download but this is way better. Dvds in the post >*.
I had to leave a torrent open for a couple of weeks to get Darkplace. Same thing for Snuff Box. This was last year like so I have no idea on the availability now.
Nighty Night I had wanted to watch since forever when I heard about it last month, couldn't find it anywhere and then Virgin had it on their channel what you press the red button on and choose stuff to watch.
Sounds like something off of Star Trek :unsure:Quote:

Dr Terrible's House of Horrible was good too. I managed to get it off demonoid (in shitty rmvb format) after asking the chap to seed it again.
1) bitching about music have fuckall to do with the thread, and nor does it in anyway reinforce whatever deluded argument you have going, and you know, it's not my fault you have no taste/are an idiot, and 2) Most countries don't do subtitles or dubbing very often, and swedish isn't exactly a world language. Countries with people who can read subtitles and watch something at the same time (I'ma assume that doesn't includes loltastic jackasses like yourself), or who do dubbing (ie Germany for one) do buy some swedish programming (turns out some of it is pretty popular in germany as well, tossers though they may be, dunno and don't care about the rest of the world).Quote:

And then you went after music. What's next?
Inbreds, lol, like I said.
Not my fault you only listen to punk. Me, I listen to lots of stuff 'cos I'm multicultural, like, and some other pretentious stuff I can't dream up right now :snooty:Quote:

Phoenix Nights as well, people. What about Phoenix Nights.
"We're losing a fighting battle here."
i actually thought Phoenix Nights was funnier than The Office. vey much underrated in my opinion. great British comedy.
I'll have a peep if it comes back on terrestrial. Never heard of Green Wing :unsure:.Quote:

British comedy is exported throughout the world and has one ingredient that most other comedies lack, and that is the absence of slapstick. Most foreign comedy relies on gags of the moment, whereas British comedy can be built up over the course of the show.
That's not to say that slapstick isn't in British comedy. The Young Ones and Bottom are excellent examples of slapstick, while shows like One Foot In The Grave, Only Fools And Horse, and The Vicar Of Dibley are shows that use integrated comedy.
Even our stand up comedians are rated some of the best in the world. Jim Davidson, Lenny Henry and Billy Connolly are three excellent stand ups that come to mind. In fact, Billy Connolly is regarded as one of the worlds greatest stand ups, who is able to turn real world simplicity into such explicit material.
Anyway, if British comedy is such crap, then why are Paramount, Universal and the other big US giants buying up the rights to distribute British comedy.
Jim Davidson?:no2:
:lol: racists.
Davidson is a master of subtle, layered, politically astute comedy. He's a man with a finger on the pulse. For real. My favourites would probably have to be Chris Morris and Coogan. I even really liked Nathan Barley. Peep Show is quality as well i think, if very painful. Anyway Snee, if being multicultural is what makes you listen to The Longpigs (still!) then i'm going to have to familiarise myself a bit more with Davidson and probably Bernard Manning. See you've got a bit of, er, Bodyrox on there as well you chump. Bet you've got serious love for the Swedish House Mafia fromage haven't you? Not surprised you've got a beef with the Germans with all the quality dance music they're knocking out at the moment.
I quite like Longpigs :unsure:.
Not the sharpest tool in the box are you Snee? The lead singer of The Arctic Monkeys isn't called Monkey, he's called Alex Turner. Plus, you must be proper cool if you listen to pretentious music. And Snow Patrol.Quote:

You're right Snee, if i had have gone to a school that taught me to read your writing i wouldn't have canned all that cash on Further and Higher education and would instead be whiling away the days licking windows on public transport with your pals. We all make mistakes though don't we?
...This thread is sooooo... yesterday.

Faulty towers - Saxondale - Shameless and of course Roland Rat
