Most funerals are funnier than British comedies, I don't think it's much of a merit for golden girls

I thought You Rang MLord was funny. Except when they were being mean to Mabel.

At least it has Keeping Up Appearances used to be one of my favorite shows, but watching it fairly recently I was struck by how sad Onslow and Daisy's relationship was. No wonder she sits sucking her thumb and reading romance novels all the time; Onslow barely acknowledges her at all except to ask for beer. It just wasn't that funny/hadn't aged particularly well.

Gaius Marius posted:Most funerals are funnier than British comedies, I don't think it's much of a merit for golden girls I thought the original The Office was pretty funny. Every other British comedy I’ve ever seen has been godawful though. Since this is thread for bad opinions and goons seem to love the show: Red Dwarf is borderline unwatchable. It’s not funny, and it’s bereft of any entertainment value whatsoever. I’m convinced it’s some sort of prank that goons are playing on each other by suggesting it. It’s abysmal. Just total crap.

It's insanely hosed up that the best podcast, E1, earns so little on Patreon. Those guys should not have to work other jobs. They do more good for the world than any doctor.

Once I ruined a sleepover because I saw the host got Monty Python's Flying Circus on his parent's fancy cable package and I insisted we all watch it, despite never seeing it myself. Half an hour later, everyone decided to just go to sleep.

These days, the individual restaurant you are in matters 100x more than what part of the US you are in, when it comes to good BBQ. I've had amazing BBQ in Minneapolis and Chicago, and I've had terrible BBQ in Kansas City and Nashville. It doesn't matter where you are in the US. A skilled pitmaster can smoke meat properly and mix a good sauce. You can source good ingredients anywhere, and the knowledge of how to properly prepare it has become so widespread that geography doesn't matter. This is true for pretty much any other style of food as well. The only exception being Seafood. You gotta be near the ocean for good seafood.

I've eaten meat from Wal Mart and BBQ joints, in the Pacific Northwest, Texas, Australia. All I can say is it all tastes like a dead animal (or maybe an amalgamation of thousands of dead animals) with whatever flavor of loving whatever I put on it.

Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister were excellent. I liked The Men from the Ministry as a kid but don't know if it holds up today. (It's a radio show, not TV.) e: Oh not an opinion but I just learned that when the Finnish version of The Men from the Ministry, called Knalli ja sateenvarjo ran out of British episodes to translate, the original writer Edward Taylor started writing new scripts just for the Finnish show. 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 14:53 on Feb 2, 2022 |

This is what it felt like to watch Monty Python & the Holy Grail with someone who suggested it to me. Just absolute torture. Crespolini posted:Peep Show is incredibly funny. I loved Peep Show too, as well as Ab Fab and the British Office. I'm afraid to endorse them though, because I haven't rewatched any of them in like the past decade.

Peep Show holds up but in the way Always Sunny generally does - by being incredibly clear every member of the cast is a complete monster.

any shortcomings of the holy grail are completely redeemed by one line: "how do you know he's a king?" "he hasn't got poo poo all over him"

I'm no scientist, but logic would say that filling them up with helium and then attaching them to the ground would lift the ground a bit thus relieving some of the pressure caused by tidal shifts of the moon (the main cause of earthquakes).

Henchman of Santa posted:Darkplace is good. Darkplace, Look Around You, I'm Alan Partridge and The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer are the four that I'd recommend, although I'd argue that the later three are maybe too British for export? Spaced is a weird one - it was nice to see nerds represented on screen in a way that felt honest, but nerds are too powerful now. Disco Pope has a new favorite as of 22:03 on Feb 3, 2022 |

Oh yeah! I kinda enjoyed some of Spaced. An ex of mine made me sit through that entire show back in the early 2000s. She was also the one that made me watch The Office and tried to inflict Red Dwarf on me. Real mixed bag that girlfriend. She was also obsessed with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. You get two guesses what dyed hair color she always used.
