1. Heh.

"Americans have different ways of saying things. They say 'elevator', we say 'lift'... they say 'President', we say 'stupid psychopathic git."

6. LOL

I know what I'm watching today. :)

2. Oasis : Pop Music as Julian Schnabel : Art.

Pretentious twits.

3. Alexei Sayle reference...

:thumbsup:

[Deja Q]

7. Seconded

:thumbsup:

36. You ever read his book "Barcelona Plates"

Hilarious

[tigereye]

4. I dunno, Sayle's humor is quite different than Python...more political at times

there's another Brit "humorist" who fits the bill better for this comparison to work, but I can't think of his name. He's much grosser than Sayle.


Frankly, I've decided that Oasis rips off the Kinks more than they do the Beatles...

8. Rowan Atkinson?

:D

[tigereye]

16. no, someone much coarser and less erudite

[JVS]

26. Rowan Atkinson erudite?

[tigereye]

28. he can be extremely erudite... at times...

and at other times, not at all. A la Mr. Bean.


And yes, I've seen Black Adder way too many times.

33. Graham Norton?

[tigereye]

35. no, crap, I can picture the guy, but I can't think of his name

5. I like Sayles better than Python.

The first three series run of Alexei Sayles Stuff is hilarious. His short film, "Didn't You Kill My Brother?" is also flat out great. And of course, on the Young Ones everybody was awesome. While Python was clearly more influential (and their first 2 seasons are just fantastic) a lot of their later seasons were pretty hit and miss.

One of my favorite things to say on DU is a Sayles quote..."It's a funny ole world."



I don't like Oasis or the Beatles, though clearly the Beatles are better.

11. "Stuff the revolution, where's my 200 quid?"

:rofl:

[redqueen]

10. That's a Sayles quote?

It's also a form of an old adage about the beautiful game... and a Thatcher quote... and a WC Fields quote...

[Forkboy]

12. When I say it it is.

:)

He does a whole song where he just rattles off all these major problems in the world, and that's the name of the song.

[redqueen]

13. First thing I thought of was football. It's a funny ole game.

:)

My favorite part of that bit above... "it's like a big empty room!" :D

[Forkboy]

14. LOL..The Young Ones is my favorite show of all time.

They crammed more funny stuff into just 12 episodes than most sitcoms achieve in 5 seasons.

When they wrote the scripts they just left a few minutes blank so Sayle could just do what he wanted instead of playing the same character (though everyone he plays is a member of the Balowski Family).

"This is the band Radical Posture, and my name is Alexei Yuri Gagarin Siege of Stalingrad Glorious Five-Year Plan Sputnik Pravda Moscow Dynamo Back Four Balowski. Me Dad was a bit of a Communist, know what I mean?"

:rofl:

[tigereye]

17. my husband loves that show!

I start cringing about 5 minutes in... Neil esp. makes me cringe with his horrifying food choices...

[Forkboy]

18. What, you don't like lentil casserole?

;)

[tigereye]

29. not how he makes it...

ugh. ;)

[Nickster]

24. "Oh wow, techno-fear......even the phone is harassing me.....!"

[redqueen]

19. Was he also Balowski when he was Mussolini?

[Forkboy]

20. Lol..I don't know, but he's not really Mussolini.

It's been a terrible blow to my life looking like Mussolini

Maybe a member of the Balowski family made chief of police. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)

[redqueen]

21. Hahaha... I forgot that part.

I just remember the "you just have to go chhhhh" and "fascist!" :D

Oh and the posing! :rofl:

[Deja Q]

34. "Stuff"'s first and third series were great. Series 2 was so-so...

(the first series being my absolute fave of the three...)

Never got into Python, oddly...

[edbermac]

15. The Beatles react to the 'music' of Oasis.

Score one for the Beatles.

[bikebloke]

22. Is Carlos back??!!

Or Jaicinto from the early days? He used to start "discuss" threads with merely a subject.

[JVS]

25. DON'T YOU EVER IMPLY THAT I AM CARLOS AGAIN!

Seriously, I ought to beat the shit out of you for that one. Besides, I've always known better than to bash Al Sharpton in a thread Skinner starts with the explicit premise of saying only positive things about the person (i.e Daily Democrat threads)

[bikebloke]

27. whoops

:hide:

[tigereye]

30. don't worry, he isn't Jiacinto...or the other guy...

[bikebloke]

38. I knew he wasn't Carlos.

But he used a classic jiacinto thread style, so I made a joke about it.

[Crunchy Frog]

37. That was an act of entrapment if there ever was one.

:rofl:

[Taverner]

23. Quite similar to chicken:tin can as snail:colorful

[tigereye]

31. boy, bet your analogy scores would be a trip to see!

:rofl:

[Taverner]

32. LOL - well my attempted point was that none have anything to do with each other

Comparing The Beatles to any band is always like apples and oranges
Same with Python

Tho I did love the Young Ones, it wasn't Python
