the original inspector clueso/pink panther....

[moppymarker]

I'm looking for a word thats the opposite of 'hillarious'

aibu?

YANBU to have your own view on it but it's a bit of a pointless thread.

YABU to start such a rubbish thread.

And actually, I think Peter Sellers was a comic genius.

well I love it yanbu in not liking something other people do - I think the Twilight films are turds but I wouldn't start a thread about it - that would be a bit self indulgent

Agreed about Twilight films, and the books too. Utter bilge, imo.

oh it's you Youthecat - hello

never watched the twighlight films.

is anyone going to help me with the word?

how can Peter Sellers be a comedy genius? this film is piffle! It is so unfunny.

in fact, its so unfunny my dd has just said....Is that one of the hillarious things that happens?

I can start a self indulgent thread if i like im in aibu!

In french accents-
Inspector C- 'Does your dog bite?'
Other man- 'No, my dog does not bite.'
IC- 'I thought you said your dog didn't bite?'
OM- 'Zat is not my dog...'

:o brilliant.

Waves at Gordy

So far Moppy, you're in a minority of one.

YABU

Sellers was a genius. Who do you think can match him?

And this

Sorry OP

Not only a comic genius but a brilliant straight actor too.
There aren't many comic actors who could come anywhere near today.
In fact, nope, can't think of a single one.

You may have a point of critic to say the films haven't dated well, but that would be the whole film and not because of a particular actor.

Come on OP, give us some more, you may have some agree with you on some points.

The original Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers are works of towering comic genius. Situation, timing, wording - it's all perfect.

But it isn't the kind of instant gratification stuff you get these days - the classic films take their time to set up a situation, lead you to think you know what is about to happen and then take you there - you see it coming, but it is still funny.

YABVU and are in need of re-education, I'm afraid.

Love the Pink Panther films.

Cato! You imbecile, not now Cato!

'Do you av a license for that minkey?'

Some of the few films that I have genuinely cried laughing at.

He also did a fantastic cameo as a scatty doctor in The Wrong Box. Brilliant.

And of course we must not ever forget Dr Strangelove. Watch that and then tell us Peter Sellers was not a genius - in every way.

"Careful you fool! You' ve broken my pointing stick! I have nothing to point with now!"

I love the Pink Panther films

I also love The Party though it will be considered to be very un pc now

YABWrong they're brilliant. YANBU to have your own opinion of course still wrong though

"Not now Cato!"

An oft repeated phrase in our household.

Rip Peter Sellers, sadly missed.

This thread appears to have turned into a PeterSlers appreciation thread, not entirely sure that that's what the OP was aiming for...

Whoops, Peter Sellers. Stupid thumbs.

I adore the original Pink Panther films so YABU, I'm afraid...

Peter Sellers was all those things previously mentioned on this thread but was also an incredibly funny physical comedian - his body language alone makes me smile.. and he was sooo good at slapstick.

Agree it's a different, probably gentler era of comedy but no less funny for that!

okay, i get that you all like it.
dh is a fan. he told DD that it would be hillarious.

it wasnt
he fell asleep
we were left watching a film that isnt funny

i mean that moth, meth, mith just isnt funny. its sterotyping for a start

but at times there is humour is stereotyping do you not find goodness gracious me funny

no not all all!

i thought allo allo was rubbish too
