Friends reboot set in a coffee shop in Oakland but filmed in NYC. There are 33 degrees in Scottish Rite Freemasonry. 33 degrees is the temperature that water boils at on the Newton scale. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jun 14, 2023 |

Was it Damien who had the scorched teddy bear as part of his essential war reporter kit?

Gorn Myson posted:I disagree with all of this, especially the idea that Boosh being random was overstated because they've had no staying power as a comedy group so the only people still saying that are ageing millennials going "do you remember this?". I don't think a group needs to stick together to have been good originally, that's an odd argument. People who meet at uni going separate ways in their 30s seems barely notable. Barratt seems to have less desire to be in the spot light than Fielding, which is why he's done poo poo like be in a production of a Gogol play and the Majestic A Field in England as well as being in weird underappreciated shows like Flowers and Sally4Ever Actually talking of Sally4Ever, Julia Davis is a comic writer who doesn't really get her due, probably because her stuff is often genuinely uncomfortable.

I don't think it's a show that holds up to watching it on purpose. But when a group of intoxicated friends stumble upon Mighty Boosh for the first time while channel flicking it can be the funniest thing ever. That time is gone.

Dabir posted:I remember the Guardian TV guide thing doing its best to sell the hell out of Mighty Boosh. I was mad about it at the time, absolutely thought it was brilliant. I think they lost it from series three. It just didn't gel, went from unique surrealness to rehashing what they already did. Then Noel got his own show, forget the name, and it was absolute poo poo. One show that should have gotten more attention was Johhny Vegas' iDeal. Perfect low key comedy.

It is interesting to think that after brexit purged a lot of the wets from the party, and now the brexit hardliners are off in a strop, the entire party is just... no name randos?

I forgot that show, it was amazing and by far the best domestic comedy I saw since reruns of Yes, Minister. The way the lead journalist has a little teddy bear that he quietly inserts into every tragedy so he can have the scene “…and in the rubble, a child’s simple teddy bear” in the BBC voice. E: to whoever asked upthread, yeah it was Damien.
