to think the league of gentlemen is bloody sinister

[RagingDull]

and not funny?

dh is sat here laughing his socks off and im staring at the tv with a wrinkled up nose and wondering what the actual fuck......?????

roychubby brown is playing the mayor....
its just scary,

An amazing show. Even better live. I bought some precious things for my Dbro and exH. They were well chuffed. There was no I can I can't though.

well i just dont find squirmingly uncomfortable funny, im watching Miranda now.....i find that funny, i find lots of stuff funny, but neither league or gentlemen nor phsychoville do so much as raise a smile......i sort of wish they did cos i feel a bit out of it - but i cant help what tickles my old funny bone......i can just about cope with 'curb your enthusiasm' but even that makes me want to hide behind a cushion......DH loves stuff like "the thick of it" and "veep"....i managed to watch those but just cant find league of gents funny....

never mind. i tried. i watched as a man tried to stick his finger up a dogs anus then ran into a fire before exploding....
i watched a man dressed as a woman try to stab someone with a pen...
i watched as a woman was caught in a man trap set by the locals....
i watched as a bloke puked up as the 'special meat' was carved.....and the icing on the cake - the nudist bed and breakfast couple with her minge hair down to her knees and the stuck on tits (cos its a man....)

just didnt do it for me. must be somthing up with me i think.....hey ho.

Ah see Miranda leaves me cold at best, but mostly irritated.

I had an extended stay in Hadfield, Derbyshire, where it was filmed (near the sometimes bleak Snake Pass that links Manchester and Sheffield). As a fan of the show I was delighted to be frequently, and quite innocently, be asked 'are you local?' by locals. I used to see foreign tourists visiting the town - Japanese possibly? - armed with copies of the DVD. Those were the days. Such an odd period of my life!

YABU - it's amazing!

I got together with DH at a Halloween party. He was dressed as...Papa Lazarou.

Seen it. Seen it. Seen it. Seen it. Seen it.
Love it.

Great thing about comedy though, there's something for everyone (can't help hearing Mark Gatiss saying this in a Creme Brulee kind of way).

Love it, apart from the scenes with papa lazarou, that makes me shudder for some reason!

Favourite moment: Pauline returning to the JobCentre after her sacking and having a homo-erotic standoff with Cathy Carter Smith.

It is brilliant!
I was in the front row in the live show and it was a terrifying experience - Papa Lazarou looking for his wife in the audience had me almost hiding under my chair.
My favourite episode was where they had the weird sex weekend in the B&B and the guests ended up suffocated in their rubber suits. Sinister indeed.

Any pegs, Dave?

Everytime I see one of those theatrical vans parked outside a school I expect it to say "Legs Akimbo"

Juliet Bravo!

Oh god the vet! When he puts the wrong dog to sleep

it's meant to be sinister- it is written as a horror comedy - love love love it but then I am local :-)

love psycoville too - fucking fantastic

the vet is fab- when he blows up the tortoise and wanks off the giraffe hahahaha love all the characters tho

you're my wife now dave!

I'm still waiting for Creme Brulee to reform.

I cant help but smile when I hear the name Olly. I just think Plimsolls.

Put yourself in a child. Cringe.

i realise its meant to be exactly what it is....

just cant watch it. the world must be made up of those who can watch:
curb your enthusiasm
veep
league of gentlemen
the thick of it
the office

and those who cant. i fall into the latter......it actually makes me feel terrible. i cringe. the only other time i ve ever felt so bad is when i was supporting a work mate who has a particular special need and said the most inappropriate things ever, out loud, in a class full of 16 people.....
i used to visibly shrink into my chair.....
everyone else laughed.
i didnt.
same kind of think i suppose. must be me!

Larkinsky - I am posting from Hadfield.

yes, we are sinister, OP.

Be local. Be very local.

I call every visiting theatre group Legz Akimbo.
I often listen to the radio series and love it. I love all their stuff, the odd Series 3, Psychoville, the lot. :o

Oh but I can't watch/listen to Dr Chinnery. Any of it. I have to hide. :)

Aah but then psychovillentakes it to a whole new level of disturbing. The visions of the dancing girl.

Genius

My house was very nearly used as a location for PV! They (crew not actors) came and looked around and were very happy (don't know what that says about the house :o) but the filming dates clashed with our holiday :(

Papa Lazarou fucking terrifies me.

I made DH go and check all the doors were locked again and again the night after I watched that first Papa Lazarou episode for the first time.

Aaah, I'm going to have to hide this thread. Too many papa lazarou dave comments
