I love how nice John is, just underlines the needlessness of treating people that way

@albertbatfinder5240 4 жыл бұрын

John was clearly the Hole in the Ring and a prick to boot. Niceness might be OK when you’re at the zoologists, but not on this show, mate.

Sid Morris I’ve never seen the Weakest Link and it’s still an amusing sketch. It’s probably better with background info, but a well-written skit usually doesn’t need full context to be enjoyed.

@jonathanbeesley9103 5 жыл бұрын

It would just be completely different. Almost every line and every detail was a direct take on something from The Weakest Link. You could still enjoy it if you haven't seen the show, but you'd necessarily be enjoying it for quite different reasons.

@CLove511 2 жыл бұрын

What a weird show that was. "Let's make contestants feel like garbage so the audience feels better about themselves for knowing a few basic trivia facts under no pressure." I'll take the happy barely-dodging-sexual-harassment-charges game shows from the 70s and 80s over that show, at least they made it seem like everyone was having a good time.

@RicAdbur 9 жыл бұрын

VICEGIRLS Really!?!? I think those Sir Digby skits are some of the cleverest and most unique comedy skits I've ever seen. Maybe to get the humor in it you have to be at least vaguely familiar with the sort of old-timey serials they're parodying, though. "IN A SOCIETY WHOSE TOOTHY FAKE SMILE IS RAVAGED BY THE PLAQUE OF DEBT AND THE VODKA BURP OF SUB-PRIME MORTGAGES, WHO WILL FLOSS INTO THE DARKEST CAVITIES OF OUR DESPAIR AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY GOLD FILLINGS YOU CAN SWAP FOR A CAN OF PEPPERMINT-FLAVORED ANTIFREEZE? YES, IT'S THE SURPRISING ADVENTURES OF ME, SIR DIGBY CHICKEN CAESAR."
