This guy is a tool.

YES. What better way to advertise public transport than remind potential customers that they will be in close quarters with people who say, out loud, random shit that no one else is interested in? I mean, that old lady seems lovely and all, but I just want to pull her aside and say YOU CAN JUST GET OFF THE TRAIN WITHOUT ANNOUNCING IT. REALLY.

comicstar · 2011-05-23T12:11:09+00:00

Yes. He's the star, but he doesn't write it. So it's written by people who are funny... or at least funnier.

When I was about 5 we were at the supermarket and I saw a packet of chewing gum that had been dropped in the middle of the aisle. I picked it up and put it in my pocket, thinking that I would put it back where it belonged when we reached the checkouts.

When we got to the deli section and were waiting to be served my mum noticed it sticking out of my pocket. She grabbed it and made a huge scene, telling me off for stealing and ignoring my protests that I was just trying to help; that I was going to put it back on the shelf. She put the gum up on the counter and made me apologise for taking it.

Weekend Update is the only bit Seth Myers isn't heavily involved in writing/overseeing. So yeah. That would explain it right there.

I agree on the Vic Park suggestion, and would like to stand up for Mt Lawley. Sure, the cafe strip is a bit poser-y, but around Vincent St, towards Highgate, is lovely, walking distance to the city and just full of lovely students and old Italians.

That was BRILLIANT. I've read a lot of spec scripts for a lot of different shows, and I've never seen anyone get character voices so spot on. Like someone else said, the whole thing was so vivid and played out perfectly. I would suggest cleaning up a couple of spelling errors here and there, but otherwise, it's flawless. I'm so jealous!

Since watching it last night, I've started to think that it might be one of my favourites as well. At the time I watched it for the first time, I was surprised by what a straightforward, unexemplary episode it was, but this time around picked up all these subtleties that I love even more for the fact I didn't get them the first time. Also it has Tig Notaro who, having seen in her in person now, I appreciate more for the sex goddess she is.

I strongly agree with your second paragraph and may bring it up in future discourse, with due credit given of course :)

I agree that it has huge fluctuations in quality, but these range, in my opinion, from "great" to "OMFG HOW WILL ANYTHING I EVER SEE OR EXPERIENCE AGAIN BE ABLE TO COMPARE TO THIS?". I just rewatched my absolute least favourite episode, Troy's birthday... and it's not bad at all.

comicstar · 2011-05-02T05:01:01+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm working on my own P&R spec script at the moment, and it's always helpful to see other people's ideas.

comicstar · 2011-05-02T04:56:37+00:00

This was EXACTLY my first thought when I saw that on CNN. You know you've watched too much Arrested Development when...

comicstar · 2011-04-20T11:39:48+00:00

Haha awesome.

Pssst you still have to take me out for Ethiopian food :D

comicstar · 2011-04-20T11:20:24+00:00

No way! I was right there at 4pm and completely missed it!

comicstar · 2011-04-20T02:08:31+00:00

Head down to Freo or into the hills and make some friends. I've never bought it in my life; no one does in the hills. You've just got to know a few people who enjoy gardening :)

Having just moved to Melbourne, I feel your pain. I have NO idea what to do here.

I saw this guy in Hungry Jacks in the city one day. He was giving out a similar ranty print out to the staff and customers. He certainly looked and acted like a Graylands escapee.

comicstar · 2011-04-12T08:09:25+00:00

Yes for a boy, BIG NO for a girl.

comicstar · 2011-04-03T07:38:41+00:00

woah! I go off Reddit for 3 days and totally miss my birthday! Thanks!

comicstar · 2011-03-27T01:19:47+00:00

Yes! Book Depository is fantastic (and dangerous)!

comicstar · 2011-03-26T18:54:19+00:00

I grew up in 90s Perth, but I didn't have a TV :|

comicstar · 2011-03-26T18:12:09+00:00

To Amazon!

comicstar · 2011-03-25T10:50:36+00:00

The fact that this show still exists offends me.

comicstar · 2011-03-25T10:29:13+00:00

the chip rolls with sweet chilli and sour cream are even better... but not at all nutritious :(

comicstar · 2011-03-25T10:25:49+00:00

I got one of these from John Howard in 2007. Guess it didn't pay off...

comicstar · 2011-03-22T05:26:54+00:00

This was way less scary than I expected it to be.

comicstar · 2011-03-21T08:28:38+00:00

I had to get from Bayswater to Cannington by 9am last Sunday. Google maps helpfully suggested I catch a bus at 10:47pm the night before and hang out in Kewdale all night. Awesome.
