As the returning Raider party made their way in to the Super Duper Wooper Fooper Mart (or whatever the kids are calling it these days), the Reverend took a minute to gather his thoughts and scratch himself (He *had* just woken up after all).
‘Ok Bodinski, THINK.’
Our hero(?) then…
So I had to turn off the TV before the show even finished. I realise there’s supposed to be a huge emphasis on freedom of speech, and it’s all in good fun etc but seriously I was embarrassed for our entire country.
We have such a great selection of comedians/comedy actors over here in the UK, yet we were represented by the regular faces of the Asda DVD bargain bin (Except for Eddie Izzard and Matt Berry, obviously. They are brilliant).
Our anger at the show is apparently hard for some Americans to understand, as I found out through discussing it on Facebook. They seem to hear English accents and then just find anything that escapes their mouths funny. Alas, all of us Brits heard was persistent lowest common denominator ‘jokes’ which wouldn’t be out of place in a year 9 classroom and the constant use of words like ‘cum’. NOT FUNNY.
‘Hey guys *snigger* ‘boobs’ AHAHAHAHAHAAA’ - Quote from SPB 2012 (Probably)
We were so misrepresented. It was a travesty. Please, America, Canada, all of you: Don’t judge our country’s comedy on the poor display at the SPB 2012. Instead look up any of the following:
The list goes on and on and on, yet we were represented by Jack Whitehall who made jokes about having sex (So how about that airline food?) and Micky Flanagan talking about cum and swearing EVERY. OTHER. WORD. I don’t mind swearing but it made up more than half of his ‘material’.
Russell Brand isn’t even worth mentioning as he is just an attention hungry idiot whose entire persona is ‘Have I mentioned I am good at sex? Ah well I don’t like to talk about it. …But I am though, did I mention that?’
Matt Berry had very little stage time, which was also upsetting.
No wonder Americans don’t seem to think that people from the UK are funny. At least it’s all for a good cause, I guess.
I have resigned to sulking upstairs and watching Ross Noble DVDs to remind myself that the UK can actually put out decent comedy. Grumble, Grumble, Grumble.
I love this game show, which says a lot considering I don’t really like TV these days.
In a time where most TV Game Shows are full of ghastly people who are just desperate for ridiculous amounts of money and constantly sneer at their fellow contestants with a look in their eyes that says ‘I WILL KILL YOU IF I HAVE TO TO GET THIS MONEY’, Pointless is incredibly refreshing. Everyone is very friendly, there are never any hard feelings and it’s just so enjoyable to watch. Everyone just has a laugh and enjoys the experience!
Even the appearance of the show is great, it looks very warm and inviting despite of it’s colour scheme of cool colours like blue and silver.
But due to it’s simple title, it’s almost impossible to find Tumblr blogs that are dedicated to posting about it etc. If you search for ‘Pointless’ on Tumblr, you usually get lots of random images of things like dancing fruit, or just text posts saying things like ‘Poop’. I fully support people’s right to post such things, I just wish I could find some fellow Pointless fans on Tumblr! Help?
How the world seems to view Hugh Laurie because of House:
How British people will always see Hugh Laurie because of shows like Jeeves and Wooster, A bit of Fry and Laurie and Blackadder:
I personally see him as both because the man is a hero.
After leaving Vault 101, Bodinski treated himself to a celebratory piss on the wooden vault door before observing his surroundings to consider his next move. He squatted down and scraped his finger through the sand, before sticking the very same digit in to his mouth.
‘…Dirt. Of course.’ he spoke aloud to himself.
Bodinski took a second taste just to be absolutely certain of his conclusion. He was still right: Dirt. Another brilliant deduction by Rev. Bodinski, P.I, BSc.
The corner stone of a healthy breakfast.Bodinski already knew his primary target: a settlement called Megaton not too far from the vault entrance. He had hacked in to the Overseer’s personal computer before escaping Vault 101 earlier that very same day. Not only had Bodinski read all of the Overseer’s informative files regarding Megaton, but he had also emailed everyone the hundreds of raunchy pictures that he had found on the hard drive, including many of the Overseer dressed as a woman.
100% Authentic.Heading straight to Megaton and just shooting everyone would be a dumb idea(albeit fun while it lasted), so Bodinski decided to first get some target practice at the school nearby.
To his dismay, the school was not full of children but fully grown and uncivilised thugs known as Raiders. It was swarming with them. Rev. Bodinski, P.I, BSc took cover and shot one of the unlucky thugs in the back of the head. This alerted the rest of the crew and a vicious shoot out ensued.
After many terrible shots from the Raiders, there was silence. One Raider yelled out:
‘Hey PUNK! Do you WANT to die?!’
To which Rev. Bodinski, P.I, BSc calmly replied:
‘Do you want my professional opinion?’
The goons exchanged bewildered looks.
‘Well… That depends, what IS your profession?’ answered a second Raider.
‘Good question, Steve!’ said another, rewarding his fellow bandit with a friendly pat on the back.
Bodinski appeared from behind the remains of the school wall, aiming his 10mm pistol between the eyes of Steve.
‘…I’m a self employed professional badass, Steve.’
Thrown off by the verbal exchange, the Raiders fumbled for their weapons, but to no avail. Bodinski narrowed his eyes and squeezed the trigger. Steve and his fellow raiders were each shot three times in the head.
‘Let this be a…LESSON.’ - Rev. Bodinski, P.I, BSc, 2077.Bodinski calmly sauntered over the corpses of late adversaries and looked down on them, attempting to spit on one of them in a disrespectful manner. As it happens, he missed and got himself on the foot, but it was cool because no one saw it.
‘Hah,’ Began Bodinski, with his usual cocky tone ‘Here I thought you guys were supposed to be Raiders, but I guess you were just a bunch of GAYders.’
TO BE CONTINUED…
Hey there, friend.
