I just love her explanation of disposable cameras (from the one in s7 where they 'pretty woman'ed Dwight, which, now that I write it down, looks like the stupidest plot in the history of ever) so damn much.

The office by s7 = secretly a family sitcom -> but the goofy dad archetype walks out on them -> it'll be unsettling no matter what. Dressing the scary uncle in dad's clothes and getting the kids to pretend that nothing's changed = brrrrrr. I actually enjoyed s9's Asshole Andy as boss, for the handful of episodes he…

I was going to defend season 9 here - seriously, it was pretty decent - but assuming your point is that Erin was *awesome* I don't want to detract from that truth bomb.

It has the edge - but both of them stand up really, really well.

It's in colour (mostly, but the art style maybe changed for some sequences? I don't really want to rewatch to check) - very pretty, soft, desaturated artwork. Same style as 'The Snowman'. Of course, that only makes it more upsetting…but I did find it easier to handle than probably most of the stuff on this thread, if…

I've not seen it, but there is an older UK one - 'The War Game', I think - made in the sixties but banned for a while, if that's any help.

Begin!

Counterpoint: Nick Offerman is still there, as is quite a nice painting of Vincent Price…to be honest, now I'm reassessing the scary Garfield ghost cartoon guy too, but chalk that down to irrational dislike.

Speaking as a kid who -was- traumatised by half those things - hell, where I was growing up 'Watership Down' was a kid's holiday TV staple (easter, because cartoon bunnies) - I am totally, totally okay with that development. Let kids discover that life=pain in their own time.

I generally kinda like trolling, but here, sir, you have GONE TOO FAR. I have taken dumps that were cooler and smarter than Jim 'Ode to My Cock' Morrison; you are summoning unworthy ghosts to this thread, and I am left with no choice but to join the clamor for your departure

Lose the embarrassment! The ends justify the means:)

WHERE IS PEPSI SENIOR WHEN WE NEED THEM

Seriously? I've spent a full minute trying to figure out what rights they feel they're being denied, but I'm lost. They really like rainbows but don't want to give folks the wrong idea? I need to look this up.
EDIT: as far as I can tell, it's their right to be homophobes that they feel is under threat? Fuck 'em. At…

I'm going to advise against it though, it's pretty nightmarish. IIRC it was a promo film for the BBC to start with; it caught on so they released it as a single for Children In Need. At no point in this process did 'but…isn't it about heroin?' appear to trouble anyone's minds.

I'm pretty sure that's actually real; we get a few African channels here and I've seen a bit of I think 'Ghanaian Idol'. Final 3, and the themes were neo-soul and some local dancey genre which was really fun. I never found out who won:(

No, woman. No cry.

Ignore him; investigate the weird, dubby, producery end of things. Maybe also lovers rock, if you have a sweet tooth. I'm no expert - obviously! - but that's what it took to cure me of reggae-hate (acquired from the cheap'n'cheesy crap pop reggae that seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid). Marley has just always…

Does the 'Sgt Pepper's' movie count? It's not great, but it's certainly…something. Really liked that clip, though. And obviously (tiresome hipster posturing ahoy!) it's by the best Beatle, which helps:)
