If they're not, I wouldn't want to have looked at them! Not worth the risk for Craig!

What I was thinking.

Moore can tackle.. 127416[/snapback] He speaks from time to time too. Hughes was decidedly average. 127420[/snapback] Which is different from Moore how?

Still not convinced he's as good as Hughes tbh.

Ha!

BTW, Gemmill, I feel I should mention that there is a non-zero chance of my making a trip out to the U.K. in November. I hope it happens; it'll be my first since 2002.... if I make it, I will ice my knees sufficiently to collect on the pint you will owe me when I czardas for you.

How is David Brent one-dimensional? He's: a chilled-out entertainer; a philosopher-poet; a singer/song-writer; a philanthropist; and the father of one big happy family! Can you give me an example of how it's predictable? Are you saying that a parody accentuating a person's most obvious flaw does not work? 123589[/snapback] You're wasting your time man. The real problem is as follows: the absence of a laughter track or a big Friends-esque sign saying "HERE COMES THE PUNCHLINE" meant that he had to work out for himself where the jokes were, and it ruined it for him. 123593[/snapback] You're becoming very dull, Gemmill. I'm beginning to see certain others' point(s) regarding you. 123600[/snapback] Overreact much? What points would those be then? 123605[/snapback] Not overreacting, simply finding it true in this instance that you keep making the same joke without anything new added. Usually you at least add something to it each time. 123610[/snapback] I'd say it was a slight overreaction tbh. I liked you best when you were the cossack dancing American bloke that planned to marry every lass he went out with within two minutes of meeting them. Any chance of you going back to that? 123637[/snapback] 'fraid not; the knees have gone.

Not humorloess; just don't share your sense of humor. Arrogant, I can't deny. I'm American. Perhaps I've just not had the same experiences? Although I did find Office Space amusing.

Again and again 123615[/snapback] (At least in my mind) the joke changed after the first instance to be that fact.

I thought the point was to be funny? No.

Can you give me an example of how it's predictable? Are you saying that a parody accentuating a person's most obvious flaw does not work? 123589[/snapback] I'm saying that within the first five minutes of an episode I can tell how every character is going to react and what is going to happen. It's fine to have a transparent plot if the characters can pull it off and make you satisfied for knowing what's going to happen, but they couldn't and they don't.

Something about this was bothering me last night; you're the second person on here in recent weeks to use that word to describe a purely character-driven piece. I think, in the case of The Office, the word is either completely wrong, or irrelevent; can you clarify? 123431[/snapback] Character-driven pieces don't work with one-dimensional characters.

More the classics, I guess. IMO Fawlty Towers is perhaps the greatest comedy ever. To be fair I don't care for most sit-coms in general. British TV is shit. American TV is mostly shitter, but has occasional decent shows, mainly due to sheer volume--some are bound to be watchable.

I actually quite enjoy most "Brit-coms" but found The Office really disappointing. Maybe it had been built up too much for me.

Found it to be very, very dull. Predictable and stale.

Should have watched the UK version 123220[/snapback] Oh, I did. Wasn't a bit funnier than the American version. FACTAPPOINTMENT.

Finally got around to watching The Office this past weekend and was quite disappointed. I expected it to be much funnier.

Doesn't play too much tbh. He's 16; mostly a late sub last year. Maybe this year, never know.

Generally go for the shorter women, and brown hair, though have a thing for red heads at times. Self confident but secure enough to ask for help when needed and knowing her limitations. (in a good way.) Not too bothered about size of tits, but I've always liked a good back/backside. Not just the arse, but the whole back.
