Remember Red Dwarf, that British show about dramanaut r-slurs sailing through the galaxy?

Really makes me think. Sometimes I actually succeed and you tards laugh at me, and I'm no genius so must be stealing it from somewhere. :marseyhmm:

A lot of this is British but it's not the "oh, they're so dry" bullshit. "I'm proving I'm a hipster because I'm laughing at something that isn't funny." :marseyeyeroll: No they actually write good stuff. Like so many of my posts I point to the actual meaning of "virtue signalling". Taking a position that's so crazy that it identifies you with one side or the other.

Saki, Red Dwarf, Newsradio, Shakespeare. If anyone actually has any respect for me (I'm afraid this might be happening :marseyyikes:) I'm just ripping off better people from earlier generations. If you're halfway decent at writing you can do it too, you just don't know it. Also a heck of a lot of middle school calling each other cute twinks until the teacher arrived.

Red Dwarf is a great place to start though because we can relate to it so well. Everyone loves curry. We're all worthless losers. And we're going through adventures in space.

Actual footage of me the last time I was nice enough to be a test pilot for BAE.

Smoke me a kipper f-slurs I'll be back in the morning. :marseysalutearmy:

!britbongs I guess this is controversial (?) but I like the female Holly more. Maybe because those were the first episodes I saw but I thought that actress really did great. Simultaneously cute, trashy, a genius, an r-slur. Hattie Hayridge never got the credit she deserved. :marseysmughipskorean:

Didn't know female Holly was fricking disliked. Always liked her. Think she did the fricking role justice.

I don't think anyone disliked Hattie, they just liked Norman more

The other guy was good but if you're not literally gay and into bald guys I don't see what he has that's better than her.

Seems to me like one of those "we're real nerds because we watched Denise Crosby back when the show was bad so you have to bring her back" kind of things.

She's funny because she's got one of those foreign accents where she doesn't really know how to speak English right.

My favourite sitcom. I grew up on this.

It used to be on TV late, so my Dad used to tape episodes from the night before so my brother and I could watch it the next day. In retrospect, we were a bit too young for the humour lol.

Seasons 1-8 are all good, but 4-6 are the undisputed golden age. I think my favorite episode is Demons and Angels from season 5, where the boys meet their evil counterparts.

The last couple of seasons have been just awful, unfortunately. But I love rewatching the old episodes.

Eh. I feel that the first 2 seasons had a punch that the later ones mostly didn't. Maybe it was too depressing and serious?

That squid of despair episode was fricking great though.

When I go to watch Red Dwarf I'm not looking to get depressed about Kochanski getting vaporized and stuff. I watch comedies to get away from that stuff.

I tried watching this like a decade ago but it didn't click for whatever reason. Maybe it's because they're british - why would there be british in the future? :marseyconfused:

Yes but they're honest about how if British people ever go into space they will just eat curries and be r-slurred. Also it's very hit or miss. Half of it isn't very good, no better than Two and a Half Men or Smug Gay Doogie Howser or whatever, the comedies that are supposed to be the best these days. But when the they got a banger, they got a banger.

It might not resonate quite as much today because it was on at the same time as Star Trek TNG and much of it clearly was a parody of that. But I think parts of it hold up pretty darn well.

I guess maybe not everyone will get this as it does reference Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and also WW2. The younger generations might not have heard of those two events.

I always enjoyed how they would go to the planet of whatever set the BBC had just finished filming on since it was already setup and free.

That's how they did it? I always wondered because it was a little niche but had surprisingly high production values.

I do think that a lot of zoomers really are only vaguely aware of the events of WW2, tbf

I think that acceptance that you're an r-slur and you're trapped living with other r-slurs all day for the rest of your life really encapsulates the rDrama experience.

Red Dwarf is fricking amazing, the only problem with it is the cringe audience laughter that is all over the place.

the early ones were filmed in front of a live audience so the laughter works. later on there is more location shooting and other stuff where the laughter had to be dubbed on afterwards and its bad

This video's better. For context, Rimmer is a total jerk and actually incompetent and a loser, but he's also very arrogant. He's just died in this video, but the hyper intelligent robot recreated this arcade ride from Rimmer's memories.

Once they go through the doors, the one in blue with a H on his forehead who is praising Rimmer OTT is himself Rimmer, that's how cocky he was.

I remember this and Dr Who being on PBS when I was a kid but I didn't watch either because as soon as I heard a british accent, I changed the fricking channel. :marseybong: :marseyheinzbeans:

I can endure it because you're supposed to be laughing at these people, not with them. It is the worst accent. The only one on Earth where I don't even like it from women.

I mean what's are you even talking about here? You're all over the place. What's all this talk about ripping stuff off?

Also Finnish sci fi "fandom" died the day they closed down MTV3 Scifi 12 years ago. And when they stopped showing Trek on other channels. And when they stopped making new sci fi. And when everyone stopped watching tv.
