See, the thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.

I’ve used this exact line talking to some Arsenal fans here in the states and it actually worked.

Hey! What is Jen doing with the internet? Are you insane? What if she drops it!?

Ha, that was actually the other quote I considered commenting. Great minds.

The IT Crowd is a show about two to five people in a room talking to one another. They did this for six episodes a season and the show ran for four seasons. This produced one of the most watched television shows on the BBC Network.

Uh isn't almost every sitcom two to five people talking in a room??!?

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 100d (3 replies)

And they're a hugely popular genre.

Yes. Whales swim in the ocean. Snow is frozen water.

Are we just stating facts for fun or do you have some point you're trying to make?

It's probably an AI account.

Couldn't even get the channel it was on right.

boonhet@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 99d

Except AI is less likely to get that wrong, humans tend to forget minute details even more than AI hallucinates them. Or rather, AI is more likely to get important things wrong than humans but humans are plenty capable of forgetting the unimportant

it's also every form of narrative entertainment - movies, video games, novels are all people in rooms talking.

IT Crowd was a Channel 4 show.

Brummbaer@pawb.social · 3 pts · 99d

As if some TV shows follow the rules of theatrical plays, coincidence or conspiracy?

Did folks see that Ayoade is on the next series of Taskmaster?

dalekcaan@feddit.nl · 11 pts · 100d (1 reply)

Oh, fantastic! I was a bit surprised he hadn't been already.

Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de · 11 pts · 100d

In one of the podcasts Alex said they had been trying to get him in (and he wanted to do it) since the early seasons, but it just never worked out.

antaymonkey@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 100d (2 replies)

We've had Noel Fielding and Katherine Parkinson, now with Ayoade we just need Chris O'Dowd and Matt Berry to round it out.

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 98d

Matt berry is about 2 and a half years in to an epic sythesizer solo and can't be bothered.

Chris Morris would be gold.

Photonic@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 100d

Can we please continue ignoring the existence of the ridiculous entity that is the FIFA World Cup?

vogi@piefed.social · 30 pts · 99d (3 replies)

This world cup its easier than ever to not give a shit since all of the matches are locked down behind some stupid exclusivity deal, at least here.

eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 99d

I live in a host city and I'd say we are maintaining our world cup homeostasis. No signs of fever whatsoever.

PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 99d

Really?

I watched Canada play for free on a streaming site. Like hell I'll pay for this shit.

Pretty sad life to live, criticizing other people's enjoyment of things.

ddplf@szmer.info · 22 pts · 98d (2 replies)

Not nearly as much as being offended by someone else's unintrusive opinion

PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 98d (1 reply)

unintrusive opinion

I don't think you understand you know what that phrase means..

Here in Australia it's always been too oriented towards Australian rules football. I never gave a toss.

And a lot of the players are total dickheads too (one was our customer). I don't mind soccer but nobody likes it here, and I rarely watch it anyway

robocall@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 98d

I like watching the dudes kick the ball and stuff

MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 98d

Usually I'm Team Moss when it comes to sports, but since the world cup games are 60% aligned with my timezone, and costs $0, figured I might follow it for the first time.

And its rather fun.
