Who the gently caress wants to watch posh Brits outside of upper middle class Americans? Also I loved the episode where her sister is complaining that she can be funny and make jokes to her boss and she doesn't need Fleabag to do it for her I'm like drat you rich people really have to pick at straws to find things to complain about.

Mr Phillby posted:remember in the eighties when we had a movement of alternative comedians because all the popular established ones were really poo poo? They're out there, they're great, they're not on (terrestrial) TV. Better would be a world where people like Walliams, Mcintyre etc's opinions were considered too alternative for mainstream TV.

The last few times people have gone on at me about how [X] is great, you've got to watch [X], it's absolutely brilliant and right up your street, you'll love it, watch [X] watch [X] you don't want to be left out do you loving watch [X] you pleb, I've been sorely disappointed when I eventually did. Fleabag is an [X] I have yet to watch.

Gruffalo Soldier posted:Thank you friends but I think the current crop of Tories have recurring nightmares about pigs that bite.ThomasPaine posted:I'd really like to see an actual analysis of why of all the vaguely public figures in the UK that particular brand of early-noughties comedian seems particularly susceptible to brain-worm infection. Like 80s radical comedians were either outright racists or outright Marxists or anarchists and there didn't seem to be much middle of the road between that although maybe I'm forgetting some. I do definitely remember Alexei Sayle's lot. But what's 'political' in the early 00s? The hard left lost, the hard right lost, and there was no impending domestic crisis that people wanted to talk about, other than the kids are wearing hoods now, so the fight was mostly on idpol and Iraq War bad and "I'm a right wing comedian, terrorists allah ackbar amirite" "I'm a left wing comedian georg bush nucular amirite" and both lots of them did alright out of Blairism. There was never much need to actually think about things far outside of the middle ground. Plus (and I think this is the main thing) they made a ton of cash out of Blairist economics and appealing to the middle ground, so why didn't you?

Yeah I watched Fleabag and it was just hard to take her problems seriously. Plus the Fleabag/'Hot Priest' dynamic that everybody fawned over made my skin crawl. He's in a position of authority, she's clearly vulnerable and in a bad place, and when she breaks down crying to him about her emotional problems he uses the opportunity to have sex with her. It's loving creepy, and so was the deluge of articles talking about how sexy it was.

There was never much need to actually think about things far outside of the middle ground. I think this is largely the reason that a lot of comedy in this (and the tail end of last) decade has moved from observational to confessional. Political comedy made a little bit of a comeback for a while with Trump and Brexit but unless you've got an exceptionally different and clever take people don't want to hear it because their entire day is already consumed with Brexit/Trump. Maybe the massive increase in news media killed political comedy? Idk.

To be fair plenty of the people I follow on twitter etc were very vocal about how creepy the guy was and how he was essentially an abusive predator. I don't think that's what they were going for per se but it definitely came across that way. Guavanaut posted:The end of history innit. Yeah I mean you're right. I'm just mad because this whole thing has ruined Peep Show (one of the greatest British comedies) for me because Robert Webb is terminally brainspidered.* Tbh if you look at Jez in that light it seems an awful lot more mean-spirited than it did at the time  * David Mitchell is by contrast studiously quiet about his politics which is interesting. Please don't let him be ruined too (or Vicky Coren, who I have the most ridiculous schoolboy crush on). ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Nov 10, 2019 |

Guavanaut posted:Maybe so. And the fact that it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. Yeah, was talking to a couple of mates about the Spitting Image reboot and the consensus was that satire only works against those with a pretence of dignity and shame. You can't embarrass Johnson or Farage, that's sort of their whole schtick.

So, the DePfeffel has managed to suppress both the dodgy russian dealing report AND the IOPC investigation into him until after the general election. Nice.

Satire is a bourgeois construct that benefits the status quo and doesn't lead to any meaningful political change. People read anything they want into satire, hence why Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney sketch was taken as something to aspire to and not as, you know, a sketch making fun of Thatcherite prosperity gospel bullshit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULeDlxa3gyc this is, of course, why The Thick Of It has aged so poorly as satire, because it's pretty much exactly what Whitehall's like irl, and it's not making fun of it and challenging the institutions behind the government so much as it's creating and reinforcing preconceived notions of What The UK Government Is Like

I've bought weed 1 whole time in my life and while I enjoyed it that time it's 100% not worth the price. Happy to have some if it's offered though. Also it's bad because it makes my partner just extremely chill and relaxed and lazy but it makes me ridiculously horny so it's not a great combo tbqh

Skunk is the preserve of the Daily Mail, and makes Black lads do knife crime in hoodies, unlike the safe 70s Acapulco strains smoked by white Brits with bad facial hair, and has 30 to 40 times the amount of THC as the original 7% THC weed beloved by hippies, giving it the unusual property of containing 280g of THC in only 100g of weed. This non-euclidean mathematics causes psychosis.
