Even “punched up” it felt like a weak ending to the show, which started out great.  I generally enjoyed it (Mulaney is probably my favourite stand-up) but I did think it suffered from a slow tailing off in quality from start to finish.

I wasn’t aware that Will Poulter was going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy, but now I understand why he looked so ripped recently in the UK television Agatha Christie adaptation Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?

“...odd to single out a person’s Muppet Show appearance in their obituary...”

I think you may need to work on your irony detection.

I’m a big fan of Sir Les Patterson, personally.

Agreed - a bit like Rebecca in Cheers.

They weren’t slumming.  They were not yet famous, and it was Ken Russell!

Watching that clip of The Thing back now, you can see where the creators of Red Dwarf got a lot of their inspiration.

If the film had been as good as the trailer, Shocker would be up there.

Amanda Donohoe. Wow. Great (but extremely silly) film.

Speaking of the welding...

Did I just see Betty White playing percussion on her tits and arse?

Ah Gay Byrne. Now there was a chat show host.

I’d say that’s an even more performative omission than Stand on the REM list.

... and in Parks and Rec with Christie Brinkley.

Are you thinking of when he did Starfish and Coffee on the Muppets Tonight?

In the Muppet Cinematic Universe, has Danny Trejo been released from his Russian Gulag?

And also for this…

Stand appears to be the performative omission here, but I’d also argue this deserves a high placing (particularly this bonkers performance).

“The Sun…”. Nuff said.
