gannonball Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I've seen the outside of the turnstiles bar and decided I don't fancy seeing the inside. A wise choice, although when you're trying to get a pint before the football beggars cant be choosers. Not been back since they got a shitey republican flute band in before the football which seems to take up half the pub,the vibration from the drum would give the pints a decent head for a change.

Spent the second half on the shitter. Whenever I went back there I stuck to bottles untill somebody misheard me a few years later and got me a pint, I then again spent the second half on the shitter and ran out of bog roll,grim.

Adam Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Was in the pub last night and they had a special on, £2.80 for a pint of Bud. Had one pint, remembered that Bud is utter shite and went back to good old Tennents.Why anyone would drink Corona is beyond me. Completely tasteless. Which I suppose, comes as no surprise to read that Magee drinks it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 In 12th place... In the final episode of the first series of Limmy's Show there is an recurring sketch, collected above, in which Limmy is pitching new characters. He comes up with a couple of them all centred on overly basic and unfunny premises, to a stony-faced reaction. Without attempting to be too post-modern about everything the sketch is both self-referential and a subversion of the entire premise of a sketch show, which is a recurring feature of Limmy's work on television and elsewhere. By deliberately pitching these obviously stupid characters he is able to make a point in two ways. While they are so stupid to fall into the "so bad it's good" category (or so unfunny it's funny in this case), as you can see from the video above it allows for an opportunity for Limmy himself to enter the sketch, as he often does. The result of the extended character pitching explores his self-doubt, believing the end of his series to represent the end of his viability as a comedic performer. While Limmy's comedy isn't for everyone, I find it and most of the things he does hilarious. Such is the case with this. Yer finished, mate. ECCIES. Et cetera. However, the premise of the purposely crap characters he comes up with should be so ridiculous to be unbelievable. Soaking guy for instance, a guy that's just wet. How would that even work? The comedy is in the mystery as much as anything else. The mark of a great comedy sketch show is something which can repeat a core joke several times without provoking a sense of resentful boredom in the viewer. When you watch Chewin the Fat you can see some men in a lighthouse and know what the next minute and a half of your life will entail. You know how it will end. You know, exactly upon seeing the intro, exactly everything that will happen. Yet you'll still laugh, you'll still appreciate the comfort of something which is at its core funny and in general an accurate commentary of the social expectations which have dictated your entire life. That's what makes the Limmy characters so funny. Everything you expect from a sketch show is mocked while being self-aware enough, perhaps self-conscious enough, to remain relatable. Then the finale of the realised sketch with all of these characters, the first one that was pitched. D'ye want this mushroom? Mush... mush.. mushroom... MUSHROOMS. MUSHROOMS. BATTERED FUCKING MUSHROOMS. LOOK AT ME. MUSHROOMS. I LIKE BATTERED MUSHROOMS.

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Incidentally I have discovered that Melanius Mullarkey is actually the name of a person, a footballer who plays non-league in England.
