“Epic fail on that front”
erm…
I’m gonna ignore that because the rest of what he says is brilliant
SO… In a show when everyone is DEAD, their plot point is a woman looking for her son or whatever?
bullshit. that’s the same as those fucking zombie movies when the character’s looking for their inept, no survival skills, 4 MPH running speed friends instead of admitting they were one of the first ones to bite it.
Ahahahahaha THE BOTTOM STILL WORKS THROUGH THE SQUEEZING.
the credits was fantastic haha
this was uploaded on Christmas day
@smitty618 There may be very good reasons for his inclusion. Did he play a part in writing it?
@98smithg hahaha oh right! nope i didn’t catch on at all. either i’m an idiot or there is a very fine line between cynicism and impudence. all is forgiven
@monogirl3 I attempted to be cynical but only came over as rude and slightly obnoxious. My apologies, I guess i’ll leave it to the pros
@monogirl3 eurghh mono girl stop fawning after a depresed narcasitic looser on some sup-prime show on bbc 15. I really have to question your motives considering he has a face like a walrus with downsyndrome, after all our whole concept of attraction is based on some manufactured reality forced down our throats by fat cat tv execs. Its pathetic. Your pathetic.
@dowling1981 ashens is a user on youtube, his name is stuart ashens, unless it’s another stuart ashens I don’t see what ashens has to do with this ep
@smitty618 Because they belong there. Who are you to deny their achievements?
why is ashens in the credits?
@JesusCommando
Jo brand also included a renactment of his ‘pulling the woman after him like a cave man” bit from his dance routine’ in her stand up.
@JimGrim90
Think pretty much every sane person hated it. Where the song is meant to be subtle, quiet, meditative and similar to a solitary voice saying a prayer, they thrown in every noisy element, and a bloody choir to make the whole thing as irritating as hell.
But Jeff Buckley’s version is miles better, and the reason the song has such a long lifespan, while Burke’s version died a death.
Roll on Xmas 2010, when people can once again prevent an XFactor No 1. Hopefully.
You’re forgetting! We can squeeze it and you won’t feel a thing…what the fuck does that mean?
So even Britain has its share of shitty network TV dramas.
“You’re forgetting! We can squeeze it! and you won’t feel a thing!”
What’s wierd about Peter,we don’t see him until Series(Season)2!
Ugh, ‘Survivors’. Just read Camus’ ‘The Plague’.
Haha, “You’re forgetting, we can squeeze it!” That narration sounds a bit like a villain from an action film.
I think it was cuz’ ashens didn’t get an original credit in the Knife you sketch.
What on earth are you on about?
In the end credits;
With thanks to: Stuart Ashen
I know Ashens did “knife you, knife you” noseybonk thing but I’m interested to see what else he’s done
I’ve just done a quick internet search and it turns out that the Jo Brand / John Sergeant lookalike conundrum is a well established talking point and not something my mum noticed first. Bugger.
My old mum thinks that John Sergeant & Jo Brand are the f’kn double of each other and I bloody well agree with her.
Figuratively speaking they were literally separated at birth!
