I don't get the hate because we can all say "oh he is picking on scummy gutter-snipes" but when we all see them in the street we think exactly the same thing, he just says it. To their faces.

Chris wasn't a oval office. Skins was great and I could relate to the characters far more than the Inbetweeners. Inbetweeners always played it too safe and sanitised to reflect what I experienced as a child. Skins was far closer to the bone but with everything massively exaggerated. The weird dealer and all the petty relationship bullshit that they do to each other in spite of their being friends was very well done. The messed up lives of the kids and how their attitudes are influenced by their parents and teachers was pretty cool to see happen and evolve over time. 3rd and 4th not so much but it was still enjoyable. They just messed up the relationship dynamic between characters. Inbetweeners is too self-aware whereas Skins, although cognizant of its own fantasy, plays it straight.

Russel Brand, Russel Howard and Andi Osho are all great standups. Sorry your taste in comedy is limited to a list of, "people I could be contextless friends with in fair weather with good luck", a list that I can already imagine to be quite wanting in the first place.

Industrial fishing is a great evil and entirely unsustainable, but the capitalist system compels those who work in fishing to go through great hardship for relative pittance to serve the concerns of the moneyed population. Even when my grandfather sold his fish to market, he did it to firstly, feed himself and his family, and secondly to provide the bare means of sustenance for his lifestyle. The only solution is to advocate subsistence fishing that serves its locality rather than the interests of an ever-greedy need for profit. You fish for what you need rather than what you want and nobody on this Earth needs to be rich. End our fetishisation of the markets and our national observance at the altar of greed and let us seek to improve ourselves for ourselves and feed ourselves for ourselves. The only alternative is the decimation of the world that we rely on and the ecosystems that we excavate for ever-diminishing returns.

BisonDollah posted:Has no-one seen the first episode of BBC2 Scotland's Limmy yet? It's the most honest, original & surreal sketch show on television & deserves everyone's immediate attention. Aye, I've been having a watch of it and it's great. He must base his sketches on real life a lot more than I thought, originally. I say this because when I went to see Four Tet last year in Glasgow, we went back to the west end for a wee party till the small hours. Then someone knocks on our door (sans a bottle of wine) and it's a really pissed off limmy. He's like "I'd join your party but I don't have any drink. It's 4am and I need to be up. Please turn down the music". He's very polite irl and for the rest of the night everybody did shut up and our only conversation was hyperactive "that was limmy at the door" whispers.

Paperhouse posted:tbh I bet even if you tell them you don't need one they will still eventually hassle you about it otherwise it'd be far too easy for people to evade it I was followed for about four years by the tv licencing people in spite of the fact that i've not owned a television since moving out from my parent's home. I made the mistake of, after some years, deciding to inform the TV licence people that I did not, in fact, have a television. So they harassed me for years to get me to buy a licence for a television I didn't have, even when I got them to send their inspector round. Total nightmare.

Fat Turkey posted:I heard Mark make a comment like this on Peep Show, why are they disliked? Is it a 'popular on telly' thing? I don't really watch either, so I'm not personally hurt or anything. Simon Schama is a vocal proponent of Israel and its policies, always keen to evoke images of the holocaust when people get a bit too critical. David Starkey is an ethnocentrist Tory historian who thinks Britain is "losing its culture" and wants to redress this by farting on about Tudors in school. He loves nationalism if it's about England and Britain, but if it's Scottish or anybody else then they're all for shite as far as he can tell. Basically, he's a reactionary grandfather that you bring to the christmas table because you have to, then listen to him spittle over the turkey about immigrants ruining our proud island nation (we were an empire once!!!).

The new series of Lead Balloon is up on iPlayer. On a sidenote: Sion posted:The guy's not selling anything illegal or inherently terrible for you if eaten in moderation (as far as I know - I haven't watched the show and, as such, don't know if he's not like... cutting it with rat poison or anything but I'm firmly in JAFO territory) and it's entirely down to the user what they want to do with it. Should Talisker stop selling whiskey because of liver failure? Should Evian stop selling bottled water because if you down 8 litres of that stuff in one sitting you'll probably die of water intoxication? Should shops refuse to carry Sunny Delight because you'll turn yourself into the loving tango man if you nosh down a gallon of it in a day? Nobody has a right to sell anything unless the consumer is in full knowledge of the impact of his choice. Since we lack an effective education system that provides all adults and children from birth with the knowledge required to navigate their lives as consumers, there should be an onus on those with that knowledge (the provider) to assess the risks of their produce, preferably with government intervention through legislation to protect the consumer. Capitalism and freedom of choice taste of 20% unemployment, skyhigh debt, toffs in power, and a freedom to choose from six different types of similar beans. Also, we are all capable of arguing into logical absurdities being progeny of the country that invented Question Time, so don't do that.

Zorba the Greek posted:I legit thought Ronan would win. Glad he didn't because I heard "He looks just like Ronan Parke!" directed at me from a drunk guy on my way back from work the night. I didn't know who this was until I got home so when I said "What? Are you talking to me?" probably sounded more threatening than I meant it to. Which is why I was confused when he said he was just having a laugh. Also, there used to be a long essay here from someone working with Simon Cowell and Britain's got Talent about how loving staged the entire show is but it's been removed by a copyright claim from Syco, Mr. Cowell's company. http://justpaste.it/c8g Apparently, they've been stage managing Ronan for three years to make him camp and "gay" - a novelty.

A5H posted:Haha it's not that bad? It's just saying she is physically attractive but a terrible person? josh04 posted:I think (hope?) he meant "she is a hateful gently caress" rather than the alternative. What does her physical attractiveness have to do with her position? What does how much he'd like to gently caress her have to do with that? Why is he the one doing the loving and where's Mensch's implied consent to this loving in the sentence? Here's the answer: it has nothing to do with anything other than, at best, to be comically edgy and at worst to be a misogynist shitheel. "Look at all these terrible things that Mensch says that are ripe for ridicule and venom. Golly gosh, she's hatefuck material." Congratulations, you've now undermined your own point and reduced all of Mensch and her opinions to a plastic Tory gently caress doll for you to intellectually masturbate over how much less of a bad person you are than her.

I got enough grief when I was younger (and still do) from well meaning chill guys not being 100% literal or serious about things. Racism is really funny if you don't *actually* mean it. If it's all just words and we can all just chill then we can all equally chill in the sense that if people get to be chill and make jokes about or using race and gendered insults then I get to be chill and call them hurtful, ignorant dipshits who should shut the gently caress up with their poisonous attitudes.
