In thinking that Red Dwarf is still creasingly funny?

[Needhelp101]

For some reason, I started re-watching Red Dwarf last night (it's available on Now). It's still SO funny.

There was a scene between Lister and Rimmer in 'Marooned' as they were discussing losing their virginity which honestly approaches comic genius. Every time I thought the punchline was there, another one followed.

For context, Lister had said he lost his virginity 'in the ninth hole of the Bootle municipal golf course'

Lister (wistfully): She just took all her clothes off and stood in front of me, completely naked. I was so excited, I almost dropped me skateboard.
Rimmer: SKATEBOARD? How old were you?
Lister: Twelve
Rimmer: TWELVE? You lost your virginity when you were twelve?
Lister: Yeah
Rimmer: Twelve?
Lister: Yeah
Rimmer (aghast): Twelve? You were twelve?
Lister: Yeah
Silence...
Rimmer: You can't have been a full member of the golf course then.

And later
Lister: Are you saying I've got a big bum?
Rimmer: Big? It's like two badly parked Volkswagons 😁

Anyone else a fan?

A teacher side eyed my child for responding "I'd be lying if I said i knew" in response to a question she thought it worth pointing out on the door that day (it's from confidence and paranoia)

We keep seeing him at motorbike events but I’m always too scared to say hello!

YANBU

’smoke me a kipper I’ll be back for breakfast’

’what a guy’

"They're all dead Dave" is repeated a lot here.

SMMEEEEEEEEGHEEEEEEEEEAD

I have always had a deep abiding love for Red Dwarf. Love the books and the tv series (only the original one though).

I love so many quotes but this always makes me laugh-

'Kryten: Well Space Corp Directive 195 clearly states that in an emergency power situation, a hologrammatic crewmember must give up his life in order that the living crew members might survive.

Rimmer: Yes but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly: 'no chance you metal bastard'.'

“Now, this 3-demensional sculpture in particular is quite exquisite. Its simplicity, its bold, stark lines. Pray, what do you call it?”

”The light switch.”

”The light switch?”

”Yes.”

”I couldn't buy it, then?”

”Not really. I need it to turn the lights on and off.”

The quarantine episode is a masterpiece

The book is much better. Cat in the tv show didnt ring right for me.

We love Red Dwarf as well! Whoever we're discussing food if fish is an option we always state that todays fish is trout a la crème 😂

One of my proudest moments recently was when DS was presented with a plate of fish and chips, and he attacked it while singing "I'm gonna eat you little fishy".

Loving the quotes, keep 'em coming!

“I think we’re losing sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? I think it comes down to a choice between ‘The League Against Salivating Monsters’ or my own personal preference, which is ‘The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society’. One drawback with that: the abbreviation is c.l.i.t.o.r.i.s.”

“I hate your guitar. If I wanted to share a cell with an irritating lump of wood, I’d have moved in with an Australian soap star.”

“Your nickname was never Ace. Maybe Ace Hole."

Oh God and I forgot this classic

Kryten: Wasn't it Jean Paul Satre that said that 'hell is other people>'
Lister: Yeah, but all of his mates were French

It was comedian Tony Hawks who also did the voice of the Talkie Toaster...

wasn’t he Caligula as well?

”this is mine, this is mine, this is mine”. Often said when a teenager is spraying impulse on everything :)

Absolute comedy gold!

I have so many favourites!….

Rimmer: ‘Step up to purple alert’
Kryten: ‘Are you sure sir, it does mean changing the bulb?’

This always made me laugh

no idea why, out of all the genius bits…. But it’s the scene I remember 🤣

"I think we should hit it with a major, and I mean major.......leaflet campaign"

“What is it?” (Cat when Lister and Rimmer are trying to explain a stasis leak)

Still the response in our house to any concept beyond the limits of our understanding!

Lister: You once spent an afternoon on the Samaritans switchboard and four people committed suicide.
Rimmer: That was a coincidence
Lister: One of them was a wrong number!

totally variations if "they're all dead dave" are used most days in our house our cat is often called smeeeeeeeg heeeeeeed when hes being a nob

“You hang your underpants on coat hangers don’t yer?” 😂

but the real question is … who was the best Holly?

male Holly or female Holly?

I find it hard to choose …

“the problem with space is, it’s black. And the problem with black holes is, they’re black. So how are ya supposed to see em?” 😂

They're dead Dave. Dave, they're all dead.

So many quotes we use here too. Both DH and I love the show.

I'm going to eat you little fishy

White hole,
spewing time
engines dead
advice please

And many mentioned above by previous posters

Yep, its a daily part of our life and whilst yes some of the later episodes/series weren't as good, I will tolerate that for the brilliance it had and sometimes still has.

'They're all dead Dave.. everybody's dead Dave. Dave, everybody's dead.'

'Dwayne Dibbley!'

'Space corp. directive .... ' thats always used here to take the piss out of each other.

We love the boys from the dwarf! :D
