TV New Season!

[old.Osy]

Yeah, but look how GoT quality dropped off a cliff so quickly despite the source material.

Don't get me wrong - they're making it and we'll definitely watch it, but it just made be a bit sad that there was a solid story that (mostly) finished at the end of Season 3. Don't want it to go on too long like Red Dwarf.

Let me explain, maybe you did not know. The last season( s ) of GOT did not have source material anymore. They exhausted the books arc around season 6. The drop in quality was due to producers Benioff and Weiss being tired, and wanting to wrap it up, so they can focus on their next project.

I've never watched Red Dwarf, must be a cultural thing - don't see the appeal in it.

You haven’t missed anything.

I thought being a citizen of the UK came with the obligatory Red Dwarf badge. Surely you've dropped a few points on the coolness scale.

Heretic! Early Red Dwarf was fantastic.

Enjoying The Boys so far. Three episodes in. Karl Urban's English accent is all over the place though

Quit being a cunt - cracking line in episode 1

 

[Gwadien]

I think his accent is intentionally fucked up.

Why? Billy Butcher in the comics is a cockney geezer.

He does have some great lines!

And Elizabeth Shue looks good for 50 odd.

I love how its serious, but I also like the shooting every time they got to the FBI office, funny.

Watched it, love the show

The Righteous Gemstones. Created by Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down, if you haven't seen it), with him, John Goodman and Adam DeVine. It's basically a pisstake of American televangelists/megachurches/etc. It looks like it's going to be great, based on the first episode.

Not over the moon for the plot, but Danny McBride and John Goodman... could be good.

Anyone seen this on Netflix yet?

Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones (2019) - IMDb

Watched it last night - I can see why the Woke lot in the America didn't like it. It's also bloody hilarious at times, especially the LGBT and School Shooting bits.

It's on my Netflix watch list. Not managed to find time yet.

 

[Lakih]

Saw it last night, some funny bits. I'm not a big Chapelle fan though.

 

[Job]

I always found him a bit simplistic and slow..even basically ripping off quite a lot of Chris Rocks material.

He went for the jugular though on this one...but I wouldnt call it entertaining.

Only 5 reviews.

Thought it was OK. Certainly not offended by it.

 

[Gwadien]

Average, Americans make me laugh though how they cheer for controversial content like 'YEAH IM COOL, IM A PART OF THIS EDGY CULTURE'.

What happened to cringe laughing

 

[Gwadien]

 

[Gwadien]

Dunno why the dislike @dysfunction i thought it was pretty accurate.

There's lots of stand up on Netflix now that all talk about how they're not about to talk about what they want to talk about.

But they talk about it anyway.

lol.

He is a dirty philistine.

Standup on TV is generally shite nowadays because they have to avoid certain topics. Comedy on TV in the UK is at the worst point I can ever remember. It's dire.

Terry Gilliam agrees, but John Cleese said it best:

BBC's Head of Comedy puts Monty Python's lack of originality down to a surfeit of education and racist bias

Unfair ! We were remarkably diverse FOR OUR TIME

We had three grammar-school boys, one a poof, and Gilliam, though not actually black, was a Yank. And NO slave-owners

They -don't- avoid topics, it's fucking bullshit.

That's the whole point, go on Netflix, 9/10 on the standups on there are LOL WE CANT SAY THIS SHIT BUT IM GOING TO SAY IT.

It's like people find controversy funnier than comedy itself.
