Twitter again - Glinner

[quote Waitwhat23]@rufusthebadgeringreindeer I love that line! It's the way he says it as well - it's just too funny![/quote]
He’s just so chuffed to have found a way not to do the tax return 😀

We bought the little book of calm on the back of this and used to quote it in the annoying voice when ds1 was angry…happy days

My favourite scene is when the depressed priest is all cheered up then Radiohead 'Creep' comes on the bus radio and he falls apart again. (this may seem an odd choice, but being a depressive type myself, this really resonated with me and made me laugh).

'That would be an ecumenical matter' is my standard response to any question I'm wary of answering.

Waiting for DH to finish the washing up so we can get back to Ted (for the millionth time). Currently watching The Passion of St Tibulus.

Glinner is a bona fide comedy genius. How one person could be so talanted as to create, co-create, co-write or whatever classics like Black Books, IT Crowd, Father Ted, Motherland and Count Arthur Strong is truly amazing.

That he is such a staunch women's rights advocate too is just the cherry on a rather marvelous cake

@rufusthebadgeringreindeer I love that line! It's the way he says it as well - it's just too funny!

I adore Black Books and quote it all the time.

Glinner is supremely talented.

When Mrs Doyle was gifted a tea making machine and her bottom lip began to wobble!!!!
Hahahahahahaha!

Oooo the holiday one!!!!!!

I love black books

‘Which one of you bitches wants to dance’

Best line ever

“Ahhh, g’wan g’wan g’wan g’wan g’wan g’wan G’WAN.”

“Are you sure Father? There’s cocaine in it.”

“Drink! Feck! Arse!”

@RoyalCorgi Sorry I had to nick your post, edit and reply to their tweet.

Bernard is unlikeable

But Fran Katzenjammer is my ideal woman.

I love the episode where Fran is having piano lessons, but hasn't practiced, so Manni is playing the piano for her by lying suspended under the piano and banging the strings with a knife. It is way beyond ridiculous so I think you have to have drunk as much wine as Bernard to appreciate it.

Oh, the dinner party one in IT Crowd - try to look normal and Peter File.

The man us a comedy genius. We had a family holiday in Ireland a few years ago and my favourite photos are of the DDS in front of the Craggy Island Parochial House,Inishere ( Father Ted intro) and the DDS holding up a small plastic toy cow,in front of a real cow,doing the 'this is small,this is far away' sketch.
The IT crowd,my all time favourite is the GAY musical staff outing. I don't do musicals and it reminds me of when I worked in an office and was talked into seeing Rent with the other staff. I'm still not sure what it was about even now.

How did I not know that Glinner (Graham Linehan) wrote Father Ted? Our family adore Father Ted series and its one of those programmes you can watch again and again, anticipating your favourite lines "far away" .

Met this fab gentleman today at Glasgow Green, how wonderful to meet the people I'd only read about on social media plus the women from all walks of life united #WomenWontWheesht!

And Kick Bishop Brennan up the arse!!!

Hahahahahahahaha

‘The money was just RESTING in my account’....
Hahahahahahahaha

Don't forget Alan Partridge. The episode where Alan, Glinner and other bloke end up in the weird home of Alan's stalker/biggest fan

“I’m sorry, Doctor Clever Person- you may hold numerous PhDs in this subject but you just aren’t very pretty!”

What’s that about “entitled”?

I wonder how beautiful you have to be to be allowed an opinion on things?

I love Black Books because it's like all the things you really wanted to say to annoying customers but couldn't without getting sacked.

Other funny bits I can think of -

The priests lost in the lingerie department - Father Ted
The long walk to the smoking shed - IT Crowd
When Roy looks at Jen's computer and realises how many viruses it has - IT Crowd
Fran's room getting smaller - Black Books
Teaching the gangster how to read - Black Books
The football app - IT Crowd
The sacred wine - Black Books

Don’t forget his part in bringing Count Arthur Strong to TV.

A few TRAs targeting his looks on the Ilfracombe is nothing, the sad little losers.

The one with all the rabbits makes me laugh. Plus Graham Norton in the caravan was perfectly cast as the most annoying person you could imagine sharing a tiny space with. A Song For Europe still makes me laugh my head off all these years later.
