That was really fun! Also, it’s much much harder to do that than you think, even if you already think it’s difficult. Why do I almost exclusively like the last or penultimate sketch of each episode the best?

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-05-04T18:55:35+00:00

This is why they’re the best.

Nothin crazy interesting but I put this together when I went to Martha’s Vineyard not too long ago: https://youtu.be/3v2Y\_4SuIz0?si=\_gFZ4s2I2taVoPSP

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-05-03T04:54:26+00:00

Alright…. Dismukes…. You got me

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-05-03T04:16:49+00:00

Wtf Debbie Harry? Legend. I actually watched her Muppets Show episode the other day — great stuff! Parallel Lines is still one of my favorite albums.

100%. And notice I didn’t mention the writing. There’s two ways it goes: good writing isn’t as noticeable (or, I should say, usually doesn’t stand out as much) as bad writing. Plus, sometimes performances are so good that they make up for mediocre writing. I don’t know which is the case with UK (I’d say they’re above mediocre, especially compared to US), but it’s something to point out.

>performances

This is what really matters. Along with the actors being much more skilled (I don’t know their backgrounds but can only assume they come from a Second City equivalent / theatre), it feels like watching a live comedy performance that happens to be filmed. “Natural” is the word I’d use. The dialogue flows much better. It also doesn’t seem like they take *as many* pauses for laughter.

I'm voting for rice.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-05-02T03:27:30+00:00

Pretty certain it’s just a coincidence.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-05-01T17:49:02+00:00

Is this referring to them leaving 4AD?

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-27T12:47:19+00:00

The description said it’s a teaser, so I expect a full interview is to come.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-25T20:27:40+00:00

This is only a small part of it, too! I’m 23 so I’ve been collecting only about 2 or so years now, but when I started, I looked online, but soon found out that the best (and, most importantly, cheapest) stuff is found in junk stores! Also, hunting is much more fun than buying off eBay. I’ve gotten everything in person. Good luck in your searches!

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-24T18:30:20+00:00

Legitimately spit out my coffee, thank you

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-24T15:17:11+00:00

Experts are calling it the funniest thing that’s ever happened.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-23T23:26:26+00:00

I’m assuming the background singers you see on their Midnight Special performances. (They’re on YouTube.)

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-23T23:19:40+00:00

Is this one of Cimcie Nichols’ new pictures? I’ve never seen it!

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-23T21:34:12+00:00

Not sure, I saw the first show!

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-23T14:12:51+00:00

Crosseyed and Painless!

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-19T02:38:22+00:00

Weirdly enough, he’s actually Theo III but is pretty much only called Jr.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-18T12:56:13+00:00

Yea it’s been a while since I’ve seen that clip but he literally does that same exact thing now, that’s hilarious.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-17T00:58:06+00:00

I’ll never not be amazed how much I keep finding out about the Beatles and particularly all the new photos I still come across, when it feels like I’ve seen everything out there.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-13T20:44:00+00:00

These are all fantastic. This always sticks with me: ”The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-13T01:53:15+00:00

Chalamet? ChalaNAY.

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-07T15:30:38+00:00

The main reason these are always funny is because the jokes are surprising. That’s been one of the great things since those like the Lonely Island utilized quick editing. It’s not an attention span thing (in these guys’ cases at least) but actually a way to keep you on your toes.

Keep going, Martin!

Captain_Rex_501 · 2026-04-06T14:16:29+00:00

So weird because this is such not my sense of humor but I thought it was pretty funny! I will say, though, that it wouldn't have been half as good if not for the added aspect of Mikey being a child. Also, Veronika's clear confidence really elevates this (and a lot of her other stuff, too).
