I recently watched Black Books for the first time in ages. I think Linehan only had a writing credit in the first series. I've been watching the IT Crowd since and I'm two episodes into S2. Two episodes have had warnings so far - one for what I think was calling someone mental (or saying that women like shoes) and one for "stereotypical derogatory depictions of gay people." The problem with that episode is the same as the rest of Linehan's comedy in what I've mentioned I've seen in this post. It's all a bit... obvious. Punchlines or reveals or increasingly absurd escalations happen and you can see the payoff coming a mile away. But there's always a sense that the joke is too self-aware for it to be spontaneous. I remember watching the final episode when it was shown a few years after the main series and tweeting about this in one of my final evenings' twittering. By that point I'd followed him for a while and seeing him makes jokes about very online people rang somewhat hollow given his constant knowing smugness. I remember watching the gay episode when it was first shown and nearly dying of laughter. I was 15. We didn't have gay people or the internet when I was growing up so none of the gay stuff stood out to me. Watching that episode today I actually forgot about the gay songs. They have the same smugness problem, only the (closeted) gay guy is the object of the joke the entire time. I've never seen Father Ted outside of GIFs on here. I'm going to watch that next. I don't know what specifically turned Linehan's brain to mush but his and Jim Spence's tweeting s have the same "well I and by extension you know what common sense tells us is right so I'll just pretend what you're saying is wrong and take it to it's naturally absurd conclusion while pretending not to understand" air about them. At least when he was writing TV shows he attempted to put a punchline in most of the time. The only R Kelly song I know is I Believe I Can Fly and it's great, so it's a shame his proclivities have spoiled that.

You missed me shouting DRUM SOLO at an appropriate time and getting a laugh, so it's your loss.

Black Sheep was the highlight last time as a girl launched herself from somewhere behind me waving her forearm at the stage when they were playing that. Presumably she had a relevant tattoo. Completely ignored for the full four minutes. Sad stuff.

It was quite nice, if anyone cares. Metric at SWG3 tonight.

And I thought the posts about The Departed were nonsense.

Twilight Sad at the Old Fruitmarket tonight. I've never been. What's it like?

Absolutely peak Sportscene there. "Aberdeen lost and Jim Goodwin got sacked. Now let's see what happened in the Aberdeen game." Brutal.

Fair warning for any future boyfriends.

I read this in the paper today and thought I had entered an alternate dimension after reading this thread since the summer. Bizarre stuff.
