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:

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
