Yo Chairib, u watch Parks and Recreation??

Ron Swanson is a god to me.

[Vaughany]

Ron Swanson is a god to me.

ha Yeah he's a legend, closely followed by Andy Dwyer...By day, shoeshine-ist. By different time of day, Andy Radical, possom tackler. And by night, I do whatever I want, no job.

You finish watching Party Down?

[Vaughany]

You finish watching Party Down?

Yeah was verryy good. Can't believe that shows like Party Down, Eastbound and Down and Parks and Recreation aren't shown on UK TV/SKy over here. Parks and Recreation would be a big hit for sure, as mocking Local Government is a popular thing over here! Instead we have endless re-runs of Friends and My Name Is Earl

[(Reyes)]

Good stuff

[Chairib]

Good stuff

Thanks big guy!

I know the BBC is government subsidized, how does Sky TV work? Is like cable television over here and part of a basic package or do you have to pay extra every month to subscribe like HBO?

Party Down only lasted two seasons which was a big shame. I don't know how far you're into Parks and Rec but Adam Scott is a member of that show now. Party Down was originally planned for Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell to do after Anchorman. It's pretty interesting to see how many current writers and actors on these comedies have been past members or worked with either The State or the UCB.

Check out a movie called Wet Hot American Summer, I think you might get a kick out of it.

Yeah, but you also got The Thick of It, the greatest show about mocking government in history, as well as the awesome and incredibly foul mouthed movie wrapup In the Loop.

Friends aint that bad, I mean can you imagine an episode of Coupling featuring the UFC?

Just got to first couple episodes of season 3 with Adam Scott and Rob Lowe in it. Adam Scott's everywhere, he was an agent in Eastbound and Down the other day when I was watching it! Even got my old man hooked on Parks and Recreation now as he used to work in the "Enforcement and Leisure Department" which I guess is equivalent to Parks and Recreation department at a local council so he can appreciate it a lot. His boss was very similar to Ron Swanson as well, same mustache, resentful about Government and always unavailable to see any members of the public!

Yeah they were very good to be fair, Capaldi is a great actor.

ha tht was quality episode! yeah don't get me wrong, Friends was qreat, but when you've seen every episode 5 times it can get a bit repetitive! Channel 4 and E4 over here dedicate about 30% of there scheduling to Friends repeats!

I just read this thread for the first time (that i remember). The videos had me cracking up.
Have you guys ever seen the show Summer Heights High? It was on HBO a few years back. Possibly my favorite show of all time. If you like the Parks and Rec and that kind of humor you should check that show out and come back to tell me how awesome I am for suggesting it.

[brooks85]

summer heights was awesome.

its good you found this thread, its a great place for a laugh and nothing else.

Yep seen all of Summer Height High - was superb. But have you seen the follow up by Chris Lilley called Angry Boys? If you havnt check it out and come back and tell me how awesome I am for suggesting it!

Never even heard of Summer Height High

[Chairib]

Are those Samoans or Tongans throwing up gang signs?

I'll have to check this out.

[Vaughany]

All the episodes are on tv-links.eu I think... http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/Summ...ghts-High_653/

First episode: http://www.megavideo.com/?d=2F70MRQ0

Chris Lilley plays all four of the main characters

[Vaughany]

*Three characters rather, plays four on Angry Boys

[illmatick]

I probably need to give angry boys another try, the first 2 episodes didn't really do it for me even though I was a huge fan of Summer Heights High.

forgot all about Party Down, underrated show for sure. I still need to download the second season.

Lizzy Kaplan

You guys should check out showtime's Shameless with William H. Macey, quality entertainment.

YEah Lizzy Kaplan is smokin, prefer Rashida JOnes though! All the Party Down episodes are on sidereel.com http://www.sidereel.com/Party_Down - just get them on megavideo or videobb no download needed.

Angry Boys was excellent and did get better as it progressed - Smouse is one of my favourite comedy characters!

Shameless is taken from UK version same as THe Office. Wasn't a fan of the the UK one tho

[Chairib]

I actually went to a couple of these tapings back when I was living in LA. The bit about the German Shepard breeder cracks me up every time.

You'll see a couple of familiar faces from the UCB.

[cheeese]

Everyone knows Aussies can't break dance for shit.

That's where the similarities end. The writing for the U.S version is head and shoulders above the UK's imo.

[brooks85]

since this thread is good for nothing else, nick offerman is about to be on Children's hospital in 10mins

[Hannibal]

No love for the king of retarded shows?

[Chairib]

Listen to the newest episode of Jim Jefferies' podcast #66, definietly worth a listen for all MMA fans out there.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...ign-mpt=uo%3D4

[Vaughany]

ha Jim Jefferies is a funny ****. Have u seen the vid of when he was punched on stage in Manchester over here?!



I'll check out the podcast tonight, just finished Rogan's one with Graham Hancock

[Chairib]

Yeah that's a pretty ******* classic story. You like Brendon Burns?

[Vaughany]

How funny was the latest ep of Parks and Rec!? Andy as Chuck Liddell!





When u get a chance check out "An Idiot Abroad" - one of the top programmes over here at moment starring Karl Pilkington who is Ricky Gervais' buddy, it's superb...http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/An-Idiot-Abroad_24038/
