You wouldn't catch them showing East Is East in the local masjid.

You should see some of the raves the Dutch throw in the Westerkerk. Fuck being a Belieber, Anne Frank would have been off her tits on pingers.

>>22402
Yeah you should cut the voiceover, at least during the interstitials.

Genuinely loved that and not what I was expecting, and Iowa was the perfect choice of state- well done.

Good work, nice twist.

As other lad said, voiceover needs some work.

>>22404
I wasn't going as far as to say cut it, just rerecord it. It might turn out it is better dropped but that is really more of a creative decision then I think this board is capible of making from our armchairs.

>>22386
I bring you comedic gold and the best you can muster is "Hmmm"?

>>22387
It's funny in parts. It grew on me with each episode to the point where I don't regret spending my time on it but it's not "comedy gold".

-not a Rik Mayall fan

>>22388
Maybe that's the difference. I am a Rik Mayall fan. I thought it was very well written though.

>>22388

> -not a Rik Mayall fan

I actually saw the prune danish bit somewhere recently, but I'm not sure where. Possibly some NASA fake ISS conspiracy videos.

Yeah I don't get ARE STEW anymore. I'm not sure if he's playing an aging, paunchy bore ironically, or that's just him now.

>>22380

I used to be in a band, and we didn't rehearse very much. When people came up to us saying it sounded a bit ropey we would tell them that was part of the act. Are Stew is very much just doing the same thing.

The interesting part is that he's very deliberately self aware about it, and plays on it in the act. I think part of him is rather cynically exploiting the "metropolitan liberal elite" who keep coming to see him, and he directly attacks his snobbish audience during this show.

He all but admits he's sinmply putting on an act Guardian reading ponces will enjoy in order to pay his mortgage, and thanks to the way he's cultivated the image, even being so blasé about it does him no harm.

Good review here.

>>22382
tl;dr Most leavers won't like it.

Well imagine my shock.

>>22382
Jesus Christ, that review was stupid enough to make me actually like ARE STEW's special.

The endless disparagement of "elf n safety" is a major contributory factor IMO. It's hard to believe that something as ordinary as sugar could cause a devastating explosion. When people are primed by the tabloids to see health and safety as being bureaucratic, overprotective and out of touch with reality, it's doubly difficult to persuade them to take these sorts of risks seriously. Many industries have these sorts of subtle, insidious hazards.

>>22325>>22326

The regulations for this industry like many others are built on the backs of tragedy. Similar to how Grenfell will usher in a new set of rules for cladding, the explosive dust and gas regulations have built up over time gradually since Victorian mining disasters. Anyone involved should be well aware of the risks, and most are, to varying degrees.

Layers of dust are only really an issue if they cause something that needs ventilation for cooling to heat up. Ignition occurs when it reaches the auto-ignition temperature of the dust mixture. Clouds can be much more dangerous and any spark with enough energy can potentially set it off.

Sugar, flour, etc. are seemingly innocuous materials but the calories they contain are energy in joules in the same way that a battery or a stick of dynamite stores energy densely (I think?).

>>22327
>Layers of dust are only really an issue if they cause something that needs ventilation for cooling to heat up.
Or if a sudden draft or something dislodges it and turns it into a could, especially if it's high up. Or where an initial explosion dislodges more dust setting off a chain reaction.

I worked somewhere with a serious dust problem, it wasn't a combustible dust, but it was still a deeply unpleasant environment for the people who had to work in it and it still stems from the same management attitude.

Sorry to bore you lads, my dad would come home after every shift telling me that everyone in his shift would spend at least an hour pipe-vacuuming all the aluminium powder ready for the next shift, and those working the shift after his couldn’t be arsed doing a good enough job cleaning/vacuuming therefore everyone was in the shit from H&S. So this lead to a very bad atmosphere, and passive-aggressive finger-pointing from those who didn’t give a shit about the safety of others. My dad, in particular who genuinely cared about the safety of those he worked with and doing a good job of things, was one of those at the brunt of all this.

Aluminium powder is fucking explosive.

Whinging ‘cos some of the Welsh are wankers.

>>22329
Sadly there is probably a lot of that mentality in all walks of life. Only after shit goes down do people wake up to the risks. I wonder, is it better to be blissfully unaware, or to bury your head in the sand?

One positive note is that because the sales and marketing people at the companies where kit for places like this are made are mostly incompetent, a lot of kit is approved to a way higher spec than it actually needs. This additional safety factor might inadvertently help to accomodate for some of the general apathy.

>>22293

Or 8 out of 10 cats does countdown when he's on, for that matter.


Like Sean Locke I prefer Lee Mack on the panel shows quipping off one liners or minor anecdotes rather than standup (for Locke) or Sitcom (for Mack).

Interestingly Locke had a very interesting sitcom that needs rewatching.

with every hdd crash I suffer I lose a little more of what is getting harder and harder to torrent.

>>22295

12 Storeys is great and should be required .gs viewing.

I have the DVDs if nobody can torrent them.

>>22296

I think you mean 15 Storeys High, mate.

>>22297

Fuck. Close enough.

They're all on youtube.

>>22298

Top lad. I know what I'll be watching during my next insomnia session. I'll see if I can't find a torrent and/or my local copies too.

Anyone who likes Rick and Morty, this vid is worth a watch:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6yg4ImnYwA

It's basically if Rick and Morty was set in the real world, and they were Australian.

>>22283

This strikes me as the shameless milking of a brand.

>>22284
I wonder if the repeated threats to kill Rick and Morty were aimed at Dan and Justin amid the stalled recommissioning negotiations.

Brian messing up the YT embeds can often be amusing.

>>22284

Personally I enjoyed it and moreso enjoyed the reactions of the general R&M fanbase to it (a lot of very angry people frothing about it being shit and szechuan sauce etc.). It's just an actual April fools episode.

I'm also familiar with the flash artist's old YT stuff, so that helps. And it reminds me of Doc and Mharti.

>>22277
1994 called.

>>22278
Did you warn them about ARE DIANA? I bet you bloody forgot, didn't you?

>>22279
I hung up around halfway through the dialup noise.

>>22278
Don't prematurely poo-poo it. I get my full download speed and servers are not monitored like BitTorrent is. It's very good for recent stuff.

>>22281
So what's the server?

I'm way too fucking deep at this point.

>>22262
Strippers are always a bit naff though - particularly when they have all their clothes on, like whats the point.

Masonlad, is this a normal thing?

>>22263

>Strippers are always a bit naff though

True. That makes it even more sinister. If this is the reason they're so secretive I'll be disappointed. At least have a proper orgy. They hopefully at least sacrificed her to moloch.

>>22262
That looks awkward, it made me laugh though. Masonic halls tend to have top tier lighting equipment for rituals and would have no problem making this look quite sexy, but this doesn't look sexy at all because the fucking megalomaniacs in the chairs can't sit at the front even though they aren't in open lodge.

Weird I spotted this before dosing off, now I'm wondering if the guys always do that? Like, even if they hire a band they just sit behind the band like fucking spooky bastards rather than sit with their lodge.

>>22265
Looks like it was filmed a long time ago - also, looks like it was filmed in NTSC so probably Americans.

>>21972

I think we're more like Seymour Mace.

Possibly Brian Gittins.

Taskmaster is great.
Modern life is goodish is ok, though not overtly funny. Definitely watchable though.
You could download Bill Bailey's tours too like Tinselworm and Part Troll.
Guy Martin Vs. the Driverless car is good too.
Tim Minchin is similar to Bill Bailey, so you can check out his DVDs - 'So live' and 'Ready for this?'
Britain's Biggest Hoaxer on All 4 is great. It's about Simon Brodkin, the guy who pranked are Theresa and Trump. Trump was livid.

If you need any more ideas, give me a shout. Don't know why everyone is ragging on Bill Bailey either.

>>21972

I've always imagined a lot of the chaps here are like Angelos Epithemiou, 4 cans of Skol and a pack of lard in a tatty plastic bag and all.

Those kind of people definitely exist, see them walking around Hull city centre all the time.

>>22022

My dad's one of them blokes, council house and all

>>22022
They really do, its a painful character to watch.

You sour grape moaners. The yearly wipe has always been funny. Granted it is starting to become predicatable and not as fresh, but Brooker's still Brooker.

>>21932

I'd Philomena her Cunk, IYKWIM

>>21939
Hi, Charlie. When's Black Mirror out?

>>21941
Soon. Just fitting in the finishing touches, in between fitting it in Konnie.

>>21942

Needless to say, I HAD THE LAST LAUGH

Lads,

Having read this thread and given it a few moments more thought than I would usually give, most of the debate around here (including that Medium article) appears to view the internet and dangers therein as one where Kid's lack of ability to choose and/or filter content. Can I suggest that it may be more productive to think of it in physical terms as more like a library, or a little more absurdly, like popping out onto the street. You wouldn't leave little timmy to wander around the bookshop, or to amuse himself out on the road, not because you think he'd make poor choices but because of the obvious dangers present, and because he probably wouldn't have much fun. You'd take him to the right section and let him have a look, or to the park. I think to treat the internet like it's something new or even more threatening thing to kids because of some implied lack of control or filtering is purely down to poor parenting.

Similarly, it's not the internet which is ruining our brains but the way we choose to not engage with the the production of content and instead passively consume. Most of us are really just poking that 'Next Video' button when we click on links to medium articles, read to news or hop on redtube, and leaving a vaguely structured form of fjierjfierfjirjf in the comments.

Sage for ramble.

Mumble, mumble, something, something, my addiction to internet Skinner boxes.

This is obviously quite different from the OP of this thread, but it's definitely YouTube dreck. I mean, from the generic, brand new, untraceable account, to the Mr Chrome comeo, this is such reprehensible and obviously untrue shit I dare not imagine the dark minds behind it.

>>21935

I agree unless there is a built in tool in video software now for automatic face blurring, it is suspiciously professionally produced for some arseholes first random dash cam upload . Then there is that the events unfold with a nearly too pefect swift pace and the action is perfectly framed.

>>21936

Yep, obvious hogwash.

>>21821
I've been meaning to but haven't got around to it yet.

>>21821
I thought episode 1 was crap for various reasons, 2 much better. 3's out but not seen it yet.

>>21821
I actually watched the first episode a few hours ago^*. With the proviso that I've never been much of a fan of Dick it was pretty weak; the story is some telepathy nonsense, the acting was awful and the speed of the plot made it unbelievable which could've easily been fixed with a flash forward or two.

However, the show itself has some signs of promise just because every episode will be different like how most Black Mirror episodes are pretty tedious and apparently it gets much better by the third episode.

^{*because it turns out the leaked episodes of CYE have some hacker bullshit over the bottom which makes them unwatchable for me.}

>>21824
the PKD story E1 is based on is almost entirely unrelated to the episode itself

>>21824
Just finished episode 3 and yeah each episode gets progressively better. I mean that by the way, episode two jumped the quality up to Dr Who writing and the last episode was genuinely enjoyable thanks to Timothy Spall. Although it seems like a no brainer that a parent would never sacrifice their child no matter how much damage they do.

I look forwards to seeing how Steve Buscemi gets on.
