Well if he, for one, is a TV, he might.

>>22867

YEAH!

>>22870
Huh?

Watched it after reading this thread. Pretty damn funny.

>>22849

It wasn't his best but it was still pretty solid. Decent anecdotal commentary on the waxing and waning of Hollywood celebrity culture, cancel culture, and other cancers of the modern world.

To claim Dave Chappelle is "anti-woke" is laudable. The article - and many others like it - don't even touch on his lampooning of the hate crime hoax that was the Jussie Smollett case. Writers like Taylor Hosking live in blissful ignorance and hold fast to their beliefs of a false dichotomy between comedy and commentary where there may be no moderate middle ground.

tl;dr: basically what >>22850 said, innit.

>>22843
The one on the left is potentially a bit of a minx, but I assumed she was a young looking forty-something who had slightly overdone it on the foundation rather than someone in their late twenties.

There's only one contestant over the age of 40, so I suspect this series might be duller than usual.

>>22842
If nothing else you won't have much competition from the male contestents if you do try copping off any of the girls.

The Spanish one is from Lanzarote. I wonder if she'll use cactus jam in her baking?

>>22846
I'd jam a cactus in her IYKWIM.

>>22847
And she'd only feel a little prick.

Cloak room's this way, yeah?

I've read the entire comic (thanks to /com/, in fact) so can anyone who has also done so say how it compares and if I'd be disappointed?

>>22839
The story is quite heavily rewired plus the sex and violence are toned down but it's not a disappointment.

>>22839

I just came off a binge watch of the show I loved it.

I've only read the first couple but the plot is quite different in where Compound-V fits into the universe and that changes everything. They also tweeked it to critique the phenomenon of the MCU in the real world.

Simon Pegg is in it playing his own father as a nod to the comic.

Kyle Urban is a fine Butcher maintaining both his sinister streak and his charm, (unfortunately his cockney accent is a bit uncanny valley at times).

Superheroes are less the subject of ridicule to sneer at in this and more treated as terrifying things you would never want to exist. There are still elements of the nods and winks of poking fun in the comics but more subdued, it is more 'gritty' I'd say.

My biggest criticism is one of the locations they shot at feels more like a counter strike level than the real world. Complete with barrels and waist high crumbled concrete walls to hide behind. which on the scale of criticism is pretty low.

Homelander comes across as the most interesting and complex character.

That man's face looks like CGI.

>>22817
I thought it was an advert for a computer game.

Play as Yossarian and kill Nazis with your bare hands. Or whatever he does in the book, I haven't read it.

>>22818
He's usually either trying to get out of bombing raids or trying to get his end away.

Watched the first episode of the new series. Meh.

Smithereens. Best one of the series, but it wasn't anything special.

Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too. Shit. Utter shit. I did kind of like Miley Cyrus covering Nine Inch Nails at the end, though.

>>22808
This isn't the first time i've attempted to extol the virtues of Miley Cyrus and it likely wont be the last. But the girl is ridiculously talented if you venture beyond the radio friendly pap. She's done an awful lot of side work and covers etc that really show off her pipes. But people just think of Wrecking Ball and twerking.

I liked all 3. Much better than last season.

>>22809
It's my current guilty pleasure.

It’s a parody film, so you need to have at least a passing familiarity with the source material to get it.

It was like a really, really, really boring version of Crank.

>>22636

I remember being disapointed when I watched it. Is it just that the acting is awful, or is it just bad writing? It reminded me of pre turn of the millenium videogame with a bad translation for all the wrong reasons.

>>22637
My main issues with it were too much shaky cam and the violence being so repetitive that you disengage and lose interest. It did suffer from poor writing, as the film dragged and there was very little reason to care about Henry, his backstory and his quest to uncover the truth/seek vengeance.

Just rewatched Letterkenny.

It's one of the only shows that makes me consistently laugh out loud. Some of the cultural references and slang take a while to get (or you need to look them up), but it's endlessly quoteable and so intensely deadpan.

My one qualm is that lead character is also the writer and director, and always writes himself getting the girl and winning the fight. There is very little tension.

>>22615
And only two Monkey Islands!

Michael Barrymore's said he isn't doing pantomime this year. I did Aladdin a few years back and I've never heard the end of it.

>>22617

You don't like curse?

>>22618

>>22619
No, although it was a long time ago. The graphics were too good, I didn't like that he now had a voice (turned it off), and just my general possibly-unfair-but-perhaps-not sense of things being shit when the original creator leaves.

>>22584

The fake tan is a deal-breaker. I don't mind common, but I can't be doing with Oompa Loompas.

I will admit to preferring Donna over Janet.

>>22585

Also I've just realised that Jenny is the image of a cousin I tried to cop off with at a wedding. Not my proudest hour.

>>22586

Never change, .gs.

Funnily enough she didn't have the fake tan in series 1. She's still a bit too rough for my liking though. The most bangable of the main group is easily Erin. However, the absolute hottest girl in the entire series is that Charlene who was in series 1 episode 2 (the French trip episode) right at the start, god knows why they didn't show her more often, she's fucking tasty

This is old news. Even the thumbnails you get for the same titles will be different depending on what Netflix knows about you. For example, with horror movies, men get thumbnails of attractive women running away from the danger whilst women get thumbnails of groups of people emotionally bonding over their mutual fear of whatever the threat is. For the same film. To get you and your missus to both click on the same link, it is marketed entirely differently based upon what they guess about you.

>>22559

It's all a bit of a shell game to disguise how thin their catalogue is. They don't want you to search for stuff, because you'd realise that they don't actually have very much; their clever algorithms allow them to make what little content they do have seem more impressive.

>>22558

>What if Amazon or some other company that sells and/or delivers physical products were to do this?

A lot of online retailers offer the same product at different prices, depending on their analytics data. If you're using a Mac, they might assume that you're minted and charge more; if you usually take a while between looking at a product and adding it to the cart, they might assume that you normally compare prices and charge you less.

I only found out recently that people using Netflix had no fucking idea what the star ratings meant and are talking about it like it's a huge conspiracy. I knew from the moment I signed up because, y'know, I paid attention to the instructions I was given about how the service works.

It boggles my mind that it is a major news story that people don't know how to use the service they are paying for or didn't bother to find out, and it's utterly infuriating that they are phasing out the star ratings as a result, because I always found them reasonably useful.

>>22561
Are they still using star ratings? Mine just straight up gives a percentage match.

Kitson, Kitson, Kitson.

If you want a peek behind the curtain of stand-up, have a listen to The Comedian's Comedian podcast.

There's RHSLTP https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_lst_podcast/

More Lee and Herring here http://www.fistoffun.net/

Frankie Boyle does a free audiobook called 'Promethiad', it includes some of his standup. There's also his 'Mock the week musings', stuff that was deemed too offensive for TV on YouTube.

Nice, I didn't know about Kitson's bandcamp. He's supposedly the best stand up of the moment.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>22535
Not really suitable for a quick listen whilst doing ironing, but one I enjoy is 'Those Conspiracy Guys'.

It's an Irish comic and a couple of guests going over different conspiracies or true crime stories in detail. The episodes are quite long, some of the later ones are about 5 hours.

Last Podcast on the Left is as daft as it is irritating, but I enjoy it regardless, even if every time they start talking about something that happened in Europe or the UK I remember just how daft daft can be. In fairness that seems to be a pan-American problem.

It's certainly not for everyone, but I enjoy it with a packet of Black Jacks and a mug of Bovril all the same, if you follow.

Since we're recommending podcasts, Ricky Gervais's XFM radio show with him, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington are still good. Think they're all up on Youtube too.

>>22506

A sly writer could have snuck it in.

>>22507
Both they and Family Guy have been doing that sort of thing for years. On the other hand, South Park doesn't bother trying to sneak things in, preferring to just come out and say things openly, to the point where they had to write out a major supporting character.

>>22508


>to the point where they had to write out a major supporting character.

The most mind boggling part of the Chef story, which I only learned recently, is that it came out that Issac Hayes himself never made the statement about wanting to leave - it was done by his entourage, also Scientologists. Hayes had suffered a stroke at this point so he wasn't able to really do anything about it.

I wonder at what point these celebrities look around and realise that they're trapped. Years too late, I imagine.

>>22509


That's too many gaps between the post you're replying to and the actual words. Come on, now.

>>22509

If that's true then he probably would have had a lot of trouble continuing if he even wanted to.

> because the oversaturation of ads the Beeb put out annoyed you.
Exactly.

I thought it was better than Bodyguard.

I really liked this and found it really funny. Not sure how much I have to add beyond that. I'd certainly recommended it to the rest of the Mansfield Massive.

>>22459
Don't think I didn't go to her imdb page first to know you're now telling porkies (at least by omission).

And it definitely comes up in search as well. You just had to click "See all results".

>>22456
Can definitely recommend this if you're holding off on watching it. It's got some scenes in it that'll make anyone who's posted in the resting actors thread feel distinctly uncomfortable, which is a credit to the writing.

>>22461
Why would I click see all results when it doesn't come up under its own name? Anyway it's found now.

>>22457
Series 3? I never knew this got beyond the pilot.

>>22468
I'm also an idiot because it WAS the pilot on series 3 of Comedy Feeds.
