In thinking that Red Dwarf is still creasingly funny?

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?

I have an embarrassing amount of Red Dwarf images saved!

Rimmer. "Kryten, move to red alert."
Kryten. "Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

“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”

Toddler son...."Daddy,can we watch the programme where the man eats the dog food?" DS now 34 and still loves. Red Dwarf

Lister pulling Rimmer up on his sexism. And then manages to get pregnant by shagging his female equivalent 😂

I sat DD down to watch that age about 11. She found it hilarious and still talks about it.

I had a team leader the spitting image of Rimmer, and a colleague who several people thought was like Dave Lister, more in terms of behaviour than appearance - he was a Glaswegian ships stoker, nuff said

Wheeze of the week, mate.

I must have watched this a hundred times and I'm still helpless with laughter when I see it again 😁

😁 Just been watching this with DS, 17 for a bit of light escapism - he was in stitches at the Backwards episode

'In 50 years time, the second world war will start backwards. Millions of people will come to life! Hitler will retreat across Europe, liberate France and Poland, disband the third reich and then bogoff back to Austria'

"Lister, tune into Sanity FM!"

Bloody love Red Dwarf. As pp have said, I've watched them over and over and they still make me laugh out loud.

Not keen on the the series with the crew and wrong Kochanski but I like some of the newer ones. Particularly the one with the stirmaster and the one where Lister gets drunk and makes himself a Father's Day card.

And Santa Claus! What a bastard! He's the fat git who sneaks down the chimney and steals all the kids favourite toys! 😡😁

This isn't a bar brawl, it's a bar tidy. Unrumble!

I'm sure I've quoted this up-thread but it needs repeating:
Kryten: Wasn't it Sartre who said that Hell is other people?
Lister: Yeah, but all of his mates were French.
