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?

The Rimmer Experience episode is one of the funniest things I have see and the Arnold Rimmer song is genius.

But where do all the toasters go, you crypto fascist?

Kryten "Are you sure you want to go to Red Alert sir? It will mean we will have to change the light bulb"

My favourite line is where Rimmer sees a mirror and says

"Is that your picture? It's rubbish."

And I used the part where the religion of the cat race is explained to tell my ds what religion is.

I loved the JFK assassination episode. “This is really going to get the conspiracy theorists going”.

Frankenstein, the holy mother, who will lead us to Fuschal....

"Not Fuschal, Fiji! I'm Cloister, Cloister the stupid! Look out Earth, the slime's coming home!"

Genuinely yanbu. I have not yet shown (German) dh Red dwarf yet. I can't stream it here though 😔 I may have to buy the series and rewatch it. I sing the little fishy song to my kids to make them laugh. Works every time.

"I can't die, I've never read......a book!"

Lister: ‘it’s a mirror….’

🤣🤣 brilliant

Puncture repair kit on standby sir!

You have habits which would make a monkey blush, Lister.

I distinctly remember a time last June Mr Lister had pizza & he didn't like it, but I poured curry sauce all over it & he just yummed it up!

They had lectures like first thing in the afternoon. We're talking half past twelve every day. Who's together by then? You can still taste the toothpaste.

His name's Rimmer, or Smeghead, or Dinosaur Breath or Molecule Mind. And on a special occasion when you wanna be like really mega polite to him, I mean really, really polite, in these exceptional circumstances you can call him... arsehole.

Holly : Hope they've got some odds and sods on board, we're short of a few supplies.
Lister : [drinking tea]
Like what?
Holly : Cow's milk, ran out of that yonks ago. Fresh and dehydrated.
Lister : What kind of milk are we using now?
Holly : Emergency backup supply. We're on the dog's milk.
Lister : Dog's milk!
Holly : Nothing wrong with dog's milk. Full of goodness, full of vitamins, full of marrowbone jelly. Lasts longer than any other milk, dog's milk.
Lister : Why?
Holly : No bugger'll drink it. Plus of course the advantage of dog's milk is that when it goes off, it tastes exactly the same as when it's fresh.

My mate Ace here is incredibly incredibly brave...

...and he's got just tons and tons of girlfriends.

YANBU!

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Apart from pain. And maybe humiliation and obviously death. And failure. But apart from fear, pain and humiliation, failure and the unknown and death, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.” – Rimmer

Kryten: “Is this the human value you call ‘friendship’?”
Lister: “Don’t give me that Star Trek crap, it’s too early in the morning.”

Lister: This is crazy! Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone
<pause>
….she’ll never leave Fred and we know it."

“How much food do we have left?

a pot noodle and a tin of dog food.

“well it’s obvious what is going to be eaten last then isn’t it, I can’t stand pot noodles”

"We're gonna get through this" when faced with too much homework

I don't know about toasters but obviously all the calculators go to Silicon Heaven! 😁

For some reason it’s toasters in our house!

I have found my tribe! I often find myself singing “Tongue tied, tied tongue, whenever you’re around.”

It is such a clever series with so many catch-phrases. . Need to go and rewatch.

If there was a Zoom background that made you look like Holly I'd pay good money

'Give quiche a chance' 😁 I want it on a tshirt!

I still sleep in a ‘Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast’ T-shirt

I've just started watching it again from the beginning

I know EVERY WORD

If only I'd turned my skills to something useful I could be president of the world or summat

Two suits! Two suits is dead!

'Stand behind the grassy knoll and shout 'Duck!'". Absolute genius.

And the Arnold Rimmer song ... neither DH nor I could breathe for laughing.

... and the 2 bags of flour as a gift ie flour, flowers. A later episode, but still very clever.
