Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Season Two of Project Runway was my fav. Mostly from Santino doing a Tim impression on the plant/flower dress episode. That and during fashion marketing when there was nothing to do per say, our teacher just played it, over and over. Along with Napoleon Dynamite.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

I don't watch TV anymore, but it seems things have gotten even worse since I stopped so it's all good.


PS > Reality shows and gangsta on TV... and then Discovery channel started fixing cars, and hired a couple of dumbasses trying to disprove "myths" in a "scientific" way using just a hammer, duct tape and a bunch of straws... and a mannequin.

Yep TV is at it's prime.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

No one is forcing you to watch television that you don't like or simply don't appreciate. Not everything is created for everyone. Art, in all its varied forms, is subjective. Keep that in mind, and maybe you'll all have an easier time of things.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

The obvious answer is no. Unless he watched a completely different version of it created by morons. But it's fun to spout off opinions on things we know nothing about. It's what powers the internets.

Sadly yes, and it sucked. Unless the point of the show is to actually be that way that is, in which case it would be funny.

In the same way Inspector Gadget would be funny if I tried to consider it a detective drama.

It's always the fault of the show when you're looking at it the wrong way, obviously.

Or when you watch it once and deduce that all the science they're using is 'hammer, duct tape, straws, and a dummy'.

But seriously, the Discovery channel was something serious before they went retarded, that's what bugged me. Still, mythmorons fails no matter how you look at it, even as a parody.

(Then again maybe I don't get US humor, I mean I always laughed watching "Who's line is it anyway?" but I don't know if that counts. )

Since that is exactly all they are doing, what else do you expect someone to realize?

Now that is a classic show (and currently being repeated on tv here in the uk on our blokes channel "Dave" Ryan Stiles and Colin mockery are the best. (though the british episodes before it went over to the US were able to be more risque due to our laxer censorship.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

The first British ones were very good; thankfully Stiles and Mockery meshed well with the comiedens that were rotated in with them and the show stayed very good.

Unfortunately they lost it when Drew Carey took over as host and they had pretty much an all American cast. It just didn't have something it had before.

BTW, thank god for development environments.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

le sigh...my first day back to work since last Thursday, and I forgot how BOOOOOOOOOOORRRREEEEDD I get, especially after too much coffee(I guess my RDM forums trolling makes it obvious...)

I spent 2 weeks saying every day that I was going to be gone on January 2nd because I had court and needed to do some negotiating with creditors. So of course I get 3 voicemails from my boss yesterday asking where I am, and today they have a written warning done up for me for a no-call/no-show...except there is no way to do a proper request off since our HR system is under maintanence for 3 weeks(yeah, don't ask me wtf takes that long to maintain.)

Anyways, back to normal, sitting here wired on caffeine and bored as hell. Jewel Quest 2 on my new phone = win. /rant

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Yeah it was good with Clive Anderson, Tony Slattery was just bizzaar, in teh first 2 series they even had Peter cook, Stephen Fry and Rory bremner on it. I remember when it was on the radio first!!

In the american version you'd never get Ryan stiles doing an impression of a horny dog with his arm as its dick and humping colins leg, that was fine on the uk version but would have been banned on the US one!

The producers of teh US one just censored everything inc ase it hurt someones feelings, here it was so what its comedy!!
