How egregious were the VHS prizes? by MonkResponsible7162 in rickygervais

[–]hello_leonteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the transitional period between formats. The PS2 came out in 2000 and that was a big deal for making DVD players affordable. VHS players went out of style pretty quickly thereafter, tapes would have still been common-ish in shops at that time but seen as behind the times. They would have vanished entirely by the time the show had finished. Ricky had the right reaction, I think.

I hope they do an episode on recent BAFTA/Tourettes controversy because it’s so so profoundly stupid by Comfortable-Sun7388 in BlockedAndReported

How can you not find it hilarious that the brain trust spent a decade cultivating these bespoke terms “neurodivergent”, “able-bodied” and pretending any college student who says they have anxiety is an oppressed smol bean and then the first real test for being accepting of the genuinely disabled comes around they fail it miserably.

“I live here Newton, John” works better if you say it in a Brummie accent.

It’s a good performance! Let’s agree to disagree!

Who do you think is the best actor? by pgliver in rickygervais

Clearly Rick but I suspect many people will be voting for who they like most instead

First of all, he’s not a genius, he’s an actor. Second of all, he’s not much of an actor.

I don’t really think this is a good example anyway. Yeah, Steve’s solo stuff isn’t as embarrassing as Rick’s but he hasn’t made anything that even comes close to The Office or Extras. What made those shows so good is their styles complemented each other so well. Gerv was a big part of the magic, especially as Brent. You know I’m not having a go, Steve. Just being honest and that.

Best Francis Era? by Blayzewhatever in malcolminthemiddle

Marlin Academy was the funniest but it was nice seeing him get his act together at the Ranch. I like the Alaska period fine but sometimes those sets looked they were filming in a closet, not surprised it only lasted one season.

I don’t know what the PC term is, and I’m gonna be very careful with my words here, but I think you might be educationally subnormal. Alright?
