I know.

I sometimes feel that maybe I don't "get" the modern sitcoms because there's no audience laughter.

Carry On films were a hoot, but no laugh track. Plenty of facial expressions and sound effects so you know when to laugh though.

Last night, Gladiatress. It's been on my wish list for ages, then I saw Plebs with Doon Makichin looking all Roman, so I bought it finally. Then BBC1 put it on the day it was delivered Cheesy, brain-free experience, marvellous

Innerestin.

Of course, it just could be that I don't find what I'm watching funny - Ricky Gervais has that effect on me!

 

[Ghost]

I don't find Ricky Gervais funny either

 

[Square12]

I kinda like him in films but the only sitcom I found less amusing than the office was the American version, at least in the uk version he shares out the good lines whereas Carrell seemed to keep more for himself, besides which a paper firm in slough is just funny in its own right!

I got my Red Dwarf X dvd today and have watched the first two episodes. Some real laugh out loud moments there.

Do Chinese knickers have braces?

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Gorn right over my head, that one.

 

[Square12]

Bouncy It's what happens on a largely abandoned spaceship when people ask "Is Chinese whispers racist?"

Love that film!

 

[janet]

Thought it was only me! I'd want to slap anyone I met like him
LOVE Red Dwarf and always will though It was one of the things that kept me sane in the early days of becoming (unplanned) a single parent.
Don't worry folks, he's still very much alive....just don't marry him

 

[Tonyblack]

Episode 3 of Red Dwarf X "Lemons" absolutely hysterical!!!!

 

[Jack Remillard]

Has anybody seen the warts and all 'making of' documentary of Red Dwarf X? I bought my brother and his wife the DVD and borrowed it.

So much went wrong, it's a wonder they managed to get the series finished at all. I definitely admired their grim determination to get it done.

Anyway, today I watched Iron Man 3.

 

[Bickaxe]

I watched an interview a few years back when Grant & Naylor were trying to get Red Dwarf started. They tried a lot of BBC studios and eventually BBC Manchester said OK but not to cast a scouser as the lead role

Watched a YouTube clip on how to install some bathroom cladding stuff. It wasn't very interesting so carried on destroying the bathroom which was much more fun.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Red Dwarf X is almost as funny as the early episodes. It was great to see them back on form

 

[Dotsie]

I caved and git the whole lot of Red Dwarf on DVD. So that should keep me out of trouble for a bit.

 

[Catch-up]

Dotsie, I followed your lead and looked for something ridiculous to watch. Chose The Campaign with Will Ferrel and Zach Galifanakis (have no idea if I spelled that right). It was pretty much as expected!

 

[chris.ph]

just rewatched dredd and i still prefer the sly one as its closer to the comic than the new one

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

The new one just has something lacking, but can't put my finger on it. :think:
