Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
The only thing that would give me pause is that their mini-series Death Comes To Town a few years ago wasn't that hot. But there's a difference between five-minute sketches and a four- or five-hour story.revbob wrote: ↑03 Oct 2017, 6:08amI would certainly watch it if it was on.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
I only watched it the once, so a second viewing might improve my opinion. A few good moments, but it dragged (as I recall).revbob wrote: ↑03 Oct 2017, 5:26pmI actually liked that quite a bit from what i can recall.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Oct 2017, 6:33amThe only thing that would give me pause is that their mini-series Death Comes To Town a few years ago wasn't that hot.

Perhaps at times but I want to say there was some good subtle humor as well as so.e of their classic absurdist stuff.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Yeah, I should revisit it. I think the boss is going on some writing retreat during reading week at the end of the month (I think the idea is goofy as fuck, but she's found it productive), so that would give me some tv monopoly time.revbob wrote: ↑03 Oct 2017, 6:11pmPerhaps at times but I want to say there was some good subtle humor as well as so.e of their classic absurdist stuff.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
So, I just heard from a friend who recently got to hang out backstage with Scott Thompson, who, he said, expressed a number of reactionary opinions. My friend didn't go into any details—he likened the comments to stuff you'd hear from Gavin McInness—but I'm hoping to get together with him in the next week to get the full scoop. I want to know more but I don't, y'know?

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Interesting but it isnt all that unusual for people to get more conservative/reactionary as they get older. You kind of figure but hes gay, Canadian and an artist/comic so that's like a 3rd degree liberal at least but so.etimes people can be pretty libersl in how they live their life but get pretty conservatice when it comes to other peope especially groups of people or "they/them".Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Nov 2017, 1:16pmSo, I just heard from a friend who recently got to hang out backstage with Scott Thompson, who, he said, expressed a number of reactionary opinions.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
The idea of someone who knows what it likes to be marginalized and attacked for having the audacity of being themselves turning around and attacking other people seeking the same acceptance (again, I don't know the full details yet, so I'm guessing a bit)—that's really disappointing, at minimum. Mind you, I'm increasingly of the opinion that we shouldn't give a fuck what celebrities think. Most are dolts and we shouldn't be disappointed when they say doltish things. So, mixed feelings.revbob wrote: ↑01 Nov 2017, 7:26pmInteresting but it isnt all that unusual for people to get more conservative/reactionary as they get older.

Re: Funny sketch comedy that's funny
Once the Weinstein revelations created an environment where women could more comfortably come forward, it seemed it was just a matter of time with him, given the persistent rumours. So, not a huge shock at all.
