Television, drug of the nation

Limmy is the strongest part for me, original, absurd and slightly disturbing, and not reliant on scoffing at daytime TV, which is an easy target. Limmy doesn't do jokes as such, but a character. He has an amazingly versatile face which he uses to great effect. Hope to see more of him. He's clearly an aquired taste though!

The weakness for me is in Brooker's elitism towards naff telly, which we all already know is naff. It's like Jools Holland saying the spice girls are crap. We know.

Taste being subjective and all, all I can is: YOU'RE SO FUCKING WRONG! IDIOT! HE IS TERRIBLE! etc..

It's not surprising there are very contrasting opinions about Limmy. He is very wierd.

Weird is not necessarily bad or good. I just don't enjoy what he's doing. The "joke" is paper thin - some sort of unique understanding of an event or thing which he then runs with and relies on his eccentricity to deliver (which is largely him staring at the camera in an uncomfortably close, close-up). If you're going to rely on your character to deliver whatever it is you're delivering, then you're going to rely on people liking that character for the thing to succeed.

Although, it may be my Scottish racism.

Weird is not necessarily bad or good.

Exactly what I meant.

Agreement! Although I still think you're wrong. FUCKING IDIOT!

Chozen, animation about a gay rapper who just got out of jail. It's pretty funny and pokes fun at the misogyny of a lot of hip hop but is still quite bad itself at times, also has lots of nob and fart jokes. I like it. It's on in 'merica just after archer, so if you like that you'll probably like this too.

watch some of the Limmy show, he is very good

no he's shit. in fact they should sack the lot of them and give the half hour to Philomena Cunk.

I like Cunk, but I feel the sarcastic parody of a crap documentary may become tired. The first three have been hilarious, dont get me wrong. I will never tire of Limmy though. I find him deliciously insane and disturbing. I guess he either pushes your button or he doesn't.

how are you watching archer?

I never get bored watching Weekly Wipe.
Philomena Cunk is married to Barry Shitpeas in real life.
Doug Stanhope is also ace, as is Limmy.

how are you watching archer?

From my sofa, looking at the telly using my eyes with ears as support.

Duuuuude. What channel?

Fucking internetz dude.

Old news.

Anyone watching True Detective? Very promising

Everyone keeps saying it's promising, does anything actually happen or is it all tease?

Castle is rocking mycworld. So cheesy so meta.

True Detective

Still tease, 3rd episode waiting to be watched. The majority is in flashback. Total real time passed is probably the length of the episodes.

SoA season 6 was ok, the ending was a bit grim. Great setup for next season.
Grimm - current season is going well.
Can't be bothered with Arrow, Scandal and Revenge.
Walking Dead - waiting for season 4 to finish before I watch it.

My favourite series at the moment is 'Person of Interest' season 3 currently airing stateside, returns next tuesday.

Currently catching up on House from season 4. Can't wait for the '24' special to air in May.

Just checked out 'Almost Naked Animals' on youtube, looks funny. Going to have to try a few episodes out.
