Poll: Does Anyone Else Remember League of Gentlemen?

[RedDeadFred]

I've never actually heard of this but when I read the title I immediately thought of this video:
For those of you who don't know, if you get enough reports in LoL, you can have a Tribunal case where other players can review the chat log from the matches you were reported in. You can then vote on whether or not that person should be punished.

Of course I do

The special stuff.

What's all this shouting about we'll have no trouble here!

This is a local shop, for local people.

You're ma wife!

And of course twelvety!

Although I'd like can of can't too.

Aw, damn it. I was totally thinking of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Good movie.

Really? You thought it was good? It was an absolutely horrid adaptation of the graphic novel... and most who've read the graphic novel would probably agree. I thought it was a *meh* movie at best... ah well, that's just me though.

OT: Yes, and I found (& find) it equally horrid as well... -_- It just was not funny to me... at all.

But but...it had Sean Connery. Sean Connery. It couldn't have been that bad.

But yes, I do remember the League of Gentlemen too. Good times.

You know, I've been meaning to get into The Thick of It. Is it any good, is it worth watching? Or is it too similar to Yes, Minister that it can be sort of detracting from its actual quality?

They're very different. Where YM/YPM is genial and witty, tToI is crass and arrogant (in that caricatured way). Where YM/YPM is civil and high brow, tToI is confrontational and blunt to the point of being quite base.

The Thick of It is still quite funny, though I don't find it, personally, as funny as YM/YPM. However, it's still one of the best TV comedies in recent years, IMO. It doesn't rely on wordplay as much, and has more shock value, but it just drips with cynicism and the driest of dry sarcasm you can't help but snigger. And a lot of laughs come from 'holy shit, she actually went and said it!'

I'd actually recommend Keeping Up Appearances as a bit of a middle ground between those.

I read the comic and then watched the movie. The comic was certainly an excellent and well-made comic. The movie was... certainly a movie.

Though the comic wasn't as interesting from Black Dossier and onward.

Yeah... The comic peaked with volume two. Black Dossier, 1910, the rest? Lost its charm, its energy, and everything else that made it interesting.

Okay, I've read all that I need to read. I know I won't know ANYTHING about ANYTHING the show is about or references already.
