1. for a second, I thought I had hurt someone's feelings again
I was all ready to with my stock "uh, it was just sarcasm... you know, the comedy of the weak. SARCASM!"

thanks, that was fun.

the second one is goofy too:

we'll be doing more of these tomorrow, gonna outfit a friend with Ashleigh Banfield specs and hold up some cue cards.

with a bit more lipgloss, I think we can nail the FoxDrone look:

5. manic repressive sarcasm disorder is your best entertainment value
I can practically bore people for days now with these films: the epic in the sigline sank without a trace when announced, I'm wondering if we finally crossed the line somehow.

I think its just information overload lately, I seem to be operating with all neurons misfiring, leaking goofy videos every day or two.

6. there's a few more bits from that shoot...
including a pretty funny Rumsfeld interview, plus a press conference with the assembled gang in front of the Capitol, with Rummy asking the crowd which country they want to invade next.

"My goodness, can we get a show of hands, people? How many for Syria?"

13. why thankyouthankyou. Chris Morris, if you're watching - please hire me
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 12:34 PM by thebigidea
speaking of which, I forgot to respond to that Morris/Coogan message you sent a whiles back. Here's a slightly related question: is KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU floating about? The tv series? Man, I'd kill for that.

The radio series floats around kaaza and I loved it...

I'm restraining the urge to burst into an "Aha!" right now, for example.

15. Aha, indeed!
I LOVE Alan Partridge. He's just the best character EVER! :D

I have the "Knowing me, Knowing Yule" x-mas episode on vid, but the others I only have the audio as well...I'll have a look around, surely if they're out there I know the people who'd have them. ;) :hi:

(And I'll drop you a PM, if ya bother to read it this time. :P)

;)

16. Alan Partridge is the first comedy character since Bobby Bittman from SCTV
to give me a case of RAGING COMEDIC JEALOUSY.

What a perfect creation!

I've been tempted by amazon.co.uk's Coogan DVDs for a while, but my main DVD player is sadly Region 1... and who wants to watch them on the computer?

22. (and a word from our sponsor.)
FADE IN to workbench. Yours truly stops sawing off own thumbs and addresses camera:

"Hi,I'm Andre Perkowski. You may know me from the flattery on this thread. Being laughed at is hard work, which is why I hijack my own threads to promote superior BBC-type comedians. Because an accent works wonders."

And if you like accents, you'll love "I'm Alan Partridge":

(goes back to sawing off own thumbs)

14. one of my favorite talents is staying obscure and underemployed
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 12:42 PM by thebigidea
STUDIO EXEC ONE: "That kid has talent! Real talent - for being relentlessly rejected."

STUDIO EXEC TWO: "Yeah, whatever. Isn't it time we made another Rob Schneider movie?"

20. I'm noticing a distinct tendency for this thread to get FILTHY.
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 01:53 PM by thebigidea
I'll have you know that John Ashcroft is out there somewhere, probably with disapproving pucker-mouth.

If that image doesn't stop filthiness, nothing will.

Oh wait. I got one that'll work:



Ipecac in image form!

21. Alan Greenspan gives you a good threadkill. works every time.
let me sprinkle some threadkilling lemon juice into the open wound:



now that I've convinced most of you to never again experience joy, we can safely let this thread sink into a well-deserved abyss.
