YEH you got it Bob I also like the artist who hates black 'BLACK BLACK BLACK, Like the endless balckness of space that journees into the casum of clams!!! Do you hear the wind, hear what it says...'Hello' |
||||||||

It's the most BRILLIIIAAANT ever made!!!!! My favourite character has to be Rowley Birkin. "(.....) the whole thing was completely made out of rubber...(.....) remember? heh. Unlucky Alf, Bob Fleming and Swiss Toni are funny as well. What's your fav. sketch, guys?? for me, it has to be the old geezer who desperatly wants to help out with direction...and he burst out "WHAT IF YOU'RE STUCK..IN A HOLE!! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!! WITH AN OOOWL!!!!! but there are too many to choose from, all of them are great. |

Swiss Toni and Johnny Black are the best. I also like that twisted musical they did, with the magical bridge that played Gary Numan's 'Cars' if you walked over it.... *trapped in a bottle of shadows!* |

ilike the fast show..but supreme is right Smack the Pony rocks.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Fast Show is superior to Smack the Pony.. Smack the Pony is a bit too 'normal' for me.. (although it can be good..) I like Swiss Tony the best.. |

Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently, and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk. |

HA HA! supposedly Bob Mortimer thought up most of those analogies.. |

RT: I hope you don't mind me askin', but - I've always wondered - why are you called "Swiss" Toni? I mean, your not actually Swiss, are you? Is it cos - y'know - Swiss things are reliable, an' that? CH: Well it's partly that, Paul. But it's mostly because I'm built like an alp, and ridged like a Toblerone. [slight pause] RT: Really? CH: Yes, when a lady's been with Swiss Toni, she doesn't forget it in a hurry. There's a club in this town, Paul, called the Pussy Club. And I am a privileged member. Gold card. I walk up to the door and, "Oh - Swiss Toni. Come right on in". I've even got a backstage pass. |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Some of that is filmed in my town centerr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not one of the best, is it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
niiiiiiiiiiiice although it does have its extremely shit moments (suits you sir) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
its like a big harry enfield hangover. it might have been funny in the 80s when there wasnt much else to watch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

the fast show had its moments when it was first on. by and large i find its aged really badly. and they made too many series without innovating enough. smack the pony rarely raises a smile. i find a lot of it quite weak - not because its not amusing, but because it feels as though theyre trying too hard to be abstract. but a lot of the puchlines/gags are painfully predictable. father ted was great. quite a slow burner in that it took a few episodes for me to fully sink into the mindset + appreciate how good it was. sad that dermot morgan died. but i felt it was good that they werent able to make any more episodes. comedy shows have a tendancy to outstay their welcome. ive actually been to the show that "suits you" was based on. harry enfield? *shudder* |

ooh! this thread reminded me! just ordered the complete Father Ted. :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
money well spent i would have thought. how many hours is that in total? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
10 hours and 32 minutes (approx) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh Mrs Doyle. she's the dog's banana's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a terrible thing to say, but pauline mclynn is (almost) as unattractive as her character in real life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does she constantly fall out of windows and such in real life too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's one (orr thrree) of the most classic scenes frrom Father Ted |
||||||||

The Channel 9 sketch from fast show is fantastic. Whenever I'm in mediterranian countries (or even France) I like to watch the terrestrial TV just to see how spot on the parody is :) Big train is good too and I don't mind watching the odd episode of Smack the Pony too. My current favourite comedy is Garth Merenghi's Dark place Hospital. A sort of "acorn antiques" (French & Saunders) type send up. |

acorn antiques was Victoria Wood, not F&S. |

Funny how your memory plays tricks on you... Ta Qrter :) You seen Dark Place yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its funny - if you dont see any tv for a while+then sit down to saturday night primetime tv in the uk, its frightening how close it seems to the channel9 sketch.if you forget that you understand what theyre saying - its a very strange experience. maybe.. dark place (what ive seen of it so far) is all good by me.. |

Yes saturday night TV is the pits... My brother has a theorythat the breweries pay the TV compnaies to show dross to get people out of the house and down the pub. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good theory |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would be an ecumenical matter |
