DKP4 on Tue 08 April 2008 said... MrsMoon has just come up on her first pill of the day.
RandySpooge on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Bollocks. Curb You Enthusiasm doesn't make you laugh. Not through intelligent rhetoric, it doesn't involve clever word play, there's no wit, it's just a bad example cringe humour. Can't make people laugh, just gives you a situation and anything that can go wrong, goes wrong. It's the same fucking formula every bloody episode, and is watched solely by people who desperately want you to like it as well, just to validate their poor sense of humour. It occasionally makes you giggle (the chef with tourettes in the restaurant being a good example), but then again, you're bound to shit out the occasional diamond. American Comedy has some great comedic programmes, but this definately is not one of the forerunners. Saying that, Seinfeld was shite too. How the fuck that ran for 9 seasons is one of the world's great inexplicables.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... ...and my hair feels like silk...pass the wrigley's...i was just considering what offers more in life than Larry David....
fuckwit on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Ah Mrs Moon. An island of sense in this sea of cuntish rubbish. Curb is great entertainment; Randy, you'd have a better sense of humour if you didn't analyse yourself so fucking closely...
Mrs Moon, are you any relation to Maggie Moon, off Russ Abbot?
milkplus on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Not a fan of the Office or Extras either I'm guessing Randy.
RandySpooge on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Thought someone would say that! The Office and Extras are brilliant, I know that, but not really my thing. My comedy heaven is a place where there is a channel showing endless repeats of Spaced, QI, Have I Got News For You, Scrubs, South Park, The Day Today, George Carlin Stand Up, and the sneezing panda off YouTube. I'm easy to please. Just tickle my balls.
dm321 on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Seinfeld wasn't shit.
The office and extras was.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Fuckwit, i am not, or Keith or Ban ki...The Day Today/Brass Eye totally wees all over curb your enthusiam, and don't get me started on Seinfield, that fucking slap bass....
milkplus on Tue 08 April 2008 said... I can see a Trans-Atlantic Bitch fight looming. Pass us one of those pills Mrs M.
XCSAA on Tue 08 April 2008 said... I can see some antisemitism looming. So Curb and Seinfeld not as good as your Aryan comedies then? ach - you're such a Schlep, Mrs Moon.
themong on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Desmonds was shit.
TheMonk on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Bring back Blossom
Geushky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Reach for the lazers.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Never The Twain...fucking cutting edge comedy at his best, Davies and Sinden, the mutts nuts.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... 'it's' not 'his'...i need another pill...
Geushky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... 'its' not 'it's' or 'his' - lay off the pills MrsM...
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... the ' replaces the missing i...in 'it is', resulting in it's...doesn't it?
TheDuke on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Some Mothers do Have 'Em. That little fucker used to put me right on edge. Did he do Condor Man after that?
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Yes he did, i don't know why Betty stayed with that big jessie, he must have had a huge cock. But maybe i'm reading too much into the dynamics of Frank and Betty Spencer's relationship...and it not being real, and all.
ilovemrsmoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Comedy is like music - it's not as good when it's performed by people who would otherwise by dentists or accountants. To me Curb Your Enthusiasm is the comedy equivalent of Coldplay. Now, bring on the abuse...
ilovemrsmoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... that was supposed to read "BE dentists or accountants" Sorry.
TheDuke on Tue 08 April 2008 said... You can call him a big Jessie...or anyone for that matter. Maybe Larry Grayson.
Id fucking love to live with Frank Spencer....not Condor Man though. He was wank.
If you had a chance to go on Fort Boyard, would you? God im bored/boring.
TheDuke on Tue 08 April 2008 said... I meant "cant cal him" not "can call him". sorry...no im not, i dont care.
milkplus on Tue 08 April 2008 said... ILMM... You are a weirdo
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Ilovethingymebob, i agree, and not just because you love me, it has it's highlights, but thats the nature of wandering around with a camera, improvising with little structure, it's more misses than hits....apart from Larry Sanders, i generally loathe american comedies, give me the old British cynicism, the underdog/loser with bad teeth, that sort of thing.
ilovemrsmoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Thanks Mrs M. I just don't understand it. Maybe it's just too intelligent for me. I couldn't afford schooling you see... had to work down the mines 25 hours a day for just 1p and a mouldy bread roll etc etc.
kwebb on Tue 08 April 2008 said... You Rang M'Lord and Home To Roost have never been equalled.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Home to Roost!!! Reece Dinsdale's finest hour..actually, only hour.
TheDuke on Tue 08 April 2008 said... George and Mildred.
TheDuke on Tue 08 April 2008 said... The fucking worst program of that era was This is Your Right...and Crown Court. They make me shudder just thinking about 'em.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... George and Mildred! Classic combo of impotent man wedded to sex mad wife....British comedy at its very best...
TheDuke on Tue 08 April 2008 said... MM - did you used to listen to Blue Jam? That stuff was funny as fuck...though a little scary.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... ...yes i did and it was dark scary stuff, my friend!
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... The great comedies include The Two Of Us, 'Allo 'Allo and Up The Elephant and Round the Castle.
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Just to be clear though, nothing will ever come close to The Day Today ("slamming the wasp from the pure apple of truth") and Brass Eye ("Don't actually do it! Where is your self re-cocking-spect?!")
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... ...but Curb Your Enthusiasm is superb ("Fuck you, you car-wash cunt! I had a dental appointment!")
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... What was that one with the posh woman and one of McGann brothers, the 'will they won't they fuck each other in front of a live studio audience, right there, on the sofa', and they dragged it out for about 15 years before they humped?
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... The Spaced episode "Epiphanies" is also a work of art.
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... MrsMoon - was it Withnail and I?
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... But you were thinking of The Upper Hand
Kitty on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Anyone ever watched the BBC 'comedy', My Hero? Believe me, you'll be fashioning a noose after 35 seconds.
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... There was a BBC one with mainly black people. One of them was a tube driver. Awful. I respect the right of black people to also make middle-of-the-road, prime-time donkey-bollocks as well as white people though.
DirtyBeppe on Tue 08 April 2008 said... My Family - fucking brilliant. Licence fee funding at it's finest.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Chinky...Withnail and I was about two randy bus drivers who thwarted their supervisor Blakey, at every turn....
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... MrsMoon. No, that was Jack and Sarah...or was that about the two prisoners who were always winding up Warden Mckay?
DirtyBeppe on Tue 08 April 2008 said... THink you're both wrong and will find that Terry Scott and June Whitfield played the title roles....
RandySpooge on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Who remembers Pugwall's Summer? Ah, Channel 4 daytime programming of the 90s.
Kitty on Tue 08 April 2008 said... The Brittas Empire, anyone? *shudder*
Geushky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Little Miss Cunting Jocelyn!
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... No, no Withnail and I starred Hylda Baker and Jimmy Jewell as owners of a pickle factory."How dare you tell him i'm a toilet trader!" "He knows y'know!"
DirtyBeppe on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Nope. Definitely, "JUUUUUUUUUNNE, you terrible cunt!"
Krooner on Tue 08 April 2008 said... If you focus solely on George, Curb and Seinfeld are the same fucking show...
fuckwit on Tue 08 April 2008 said... MrsMoon, you terrible cunt!
kwebb on Tue 08 April 2008 said... I used to work with a man whose hair actually looked like a judge's wig. We would play the music from Crown Court as he entered the office every day. He never seemed to twig.
MrsMoon on Tue 08 April 2008 said... Fuckwit, throw yourself into the road darling, you haven't got a chance! And Kwebb, that last comment, that made me laugh so much!! Cheers!
chinky on Tue 08 April 2008 said... kwebb - did you used to work with Isaac Newton?
kwebb on Tue 08 April 2008 said... When someone asked him a question - we'd tee up the music they played when "The Verdict" came through to coincide with his reply. Chinky - no but I did work with Eddie Newton who played for Chelsea.
Barbersmith on Wed 09 April 2008 said... Grace and Favour.
