Seconded both Black Adder(2 & 3) and Red Dwarf. I saw the very first episode of Dwarf when it was originally broadcast, and watched the entire thing unfold. There were some rough patches, but overall hilarious.

I'm pretty sure the "head-chef" guy molested me just by looking at his picture.

When he made that movie about the children at the airport, that's when I lost my faith in him. I know you've got to pay the rent, but that was just whoring out for the lowest common denominator. As said, exactly the kind of thing he used to moan about on his comedy specials and HBO.

Dude it's not "knowing", it's "know1ng", with the 1 digit replacing the "i" of ing.

I would listen to Whoopi talking about sex WITH Hamburger Helper - either the food product or the giant hand.

Just to weigh-in on the song-choice issue, I think the point of Idol is that at this stage the singers are not supposed to be fully-rounded professional singers. Originally it was restricted to under 18, or 21 or something wasn't it? And they increased the age-limit in subsequent seasons, but if I want to enter a

Do y'all remember the first season of Idol, when that complete no-hoper co-hosted with Ryan? He might have had a chance up against a Regis, or even a Mat Lauer, but against the perfection of Seacrest, all his flaws were seen.

I don't know how people can not hate on Danny - that sincerity stuff just comes over as the opposite, unfortunately. I missed the start, and couldn't figure out the theme, so I just thought the song choices were awful. Maybe when the song choice gets better after this round, I'll appreciate it all better, but Simon

Oh I got it…..In Russian neighberhood, Anglo's niche Jew!

In Russia, Walker's crisp YOU! No, wait, that doesn't work….In Russia, Crisp's walk YOU….Nope. I'll never get the hang of this "In Russia" business.

Are we talking time-cube here? One of my work-mates intro'd me to that fucked up guy the other day (google or you-tube it, if you haven't seen the rant - trust me it'll be the best thing you do today).

My giant penis comment was an original

I thought alternative meant that they didn't do the traditional joke-and-then-punch-line thing. Evidently it has become short hand for an Indy version of comedy, or edgy, or whatever, but originally I think Monty Python, observational humor, and all this abstract kind of stupid humor counts as alternative, so I would

My kids are 8 & 10, and whether I like it or not, they LOVE the kidz bop series. I think it's not just the howling reproductions, its because the series collects together all those catchy jingle type songs that kids love, in a way that even "That's what I call…" doesn't quite capture. THey an listen to one CD from

My penis is so big it has its own ZIP CODE. Although I don't know why, no one ever writes to it. Other than me of course:

I would call Wuthering #1, man with child #2, and running up that hill #3.

Don't dis the walker's crisps, man. They're not the best British crisps, but they beat the flavour wasteland that is the Great American chip-aisle.

From memory, the issue was more about timeliness. No one in 1979 Cambodia wanted a documentary about the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge - they were still living in it. Likewise with W.

The thing isn't that there's a significant higher number of pedophiles in the Catholic Clergy, it's just that the church higher-ups AND the parisheners (how is that spelt?) decided to enable the abuse to continue by refusing the believe the abusee, moving the abuser to another location, protecting the abuser from
