Some really wanky things going Glinners way on twitter again. Just giving a heads up in case anyone has the energy to present another side of the argument.

Glinner is a nice-looking middle-aged man who is clever and funny. That makes him attractive and sexy in my book.

TRAs are misogynists. The only people attractive to misogynists are other misogynists.

I can't get the hang of black books which really annoys me!

NiceGerbil · 20/07/2021 19:37

It's very odd.

It's a standard go to when men slag off women but to do it to a man is very very very unusual.

I suppose that is because loads of men seem to think that telling a woman he thinks she's rough looking or he wouldn't fuck her is the most deeply awful insult ever (irrespective of what they look like. Or whether they have just in fact tried to chat you up and you've said no)

With men insulting men it's pretty much always about other stuff.

Straight men that is.

I think gay men insult other gay men in a different way.

Anyway. Bit random there sorry!

And attacking what Glinner looks like? WTF.

Waitwhat23 · 20/07/2021 19:34

We use the 'this one is small, that one is far away...' quite a lot in our house. The reveal of Ted kicking Bishop Brennan's arse is a work of genius.

There are so many bits in Black Books in particular which can reduce me to belly laughing so intense that I can't get any sound out- just pointing and wheezing! The one where the temperature can't go over a certain number is brilliant, particularly when Manny is persuaded into a sleeping bag, with a hot water bottle.

NiceGerbil · 20/07/2021 19:31

Can't remember now...

So scratch that I can't even describe it well!

BatmansBat · 20/07/2021 19:29

I just don’t get when men are trying to take other men down based on looks.

Glinner is intelligent, funny, mentally stable and cares deeply about women. And he looks like a normal man. What’s not to like?

NiceGerbil · 20/07/2021 19:28

Oh the bit where.. hold on I'll find it

TheSlayer · 20/07/2021 19:27

Thought this was apt...

There are so many. One that tickled me but doesn't get mentioned as much is the Christmas episode where they are in the front room on Christmas morning and Ted says "what's it all about, Dougal" in a reflective way and Dougal looks up from reading his football annual and says "not much Ted, it's just about football and stuff"

When Father Jack sobers up "Don't tell me I'm still on that fecking island"

123344user · 20/07/2021 19:17

"That would be. An. Ecumenical matter!" gets used a lot in this house...

@TatoAndBeans

“How did that gobshite get on the television?!” in a Father Jack voice is the standard response to any politician on TV in our house!

😂😂 I'm stealing that!!

For Damo....he was class! Loved Dougal going all googly eyed at him.🤣

DialSquare · 20/07/2021 19:13

Those women were in the nip!

TinselAngel · 20/07/2021 19:06

I'm not sure what their point is, he looks quite smart.

My Lovely Horse
Anything with Fr Damo the delinquent (recently reincarnated as Jack Grealish)
Fr Ted - Not A Racist
The biggest Lingerie department in Ireland
The Mainland - Fr Jack at the AA meeting, Mrs Doyle in jail, Graham Norton in the Darkest Caves in Ireland
The last episode which is like the episode you'd have written if you knew your star actor was going to die before it was broadcast - completely unsentimental but a tearjerker

And that's without trying to think - what a legacy.

Ad hom attacks is all they have. All. They. Have.

Oh god the milk float one 🤣 I'm laughing out loud while trying to feed my baby yoghurt just thinking about that!

@ShortBacknSides

Glinner is a comic genius who has created (or co-created) four completely brilliant series: Father Ted, Black Books, The IT Crowd and Big Train.

And Motherland (I think). And the TRAs should know that most straight women find the brain the sexiest bit of a man ...

So, so true. A strong brain, in every sense, is the sexiest part of a man, hands down.

Couldn't agree more.

I love the scene where Dougal has his head in the TV box and Jack wakes up, spots him and is flabbergasted... 'how did that gobshite get on the television'??😂😂🤣🤣

TheMarzipanDildo · 20/07/2021 18:57

Yeah think he co wrote the first series of Motherland.

TheMarzipanDildo · 20/07/2021 18:56

Oh god “I love my brick” 😂

“Small, far away” gets used often in our house, as does “have you tried turning it off and on again?”, of course.
