Banana's Beard Emporium - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Yes Fran, yes! Anything to take the edge off this cruel and insufferable world!

There are some other cool and cute ones underneath those vids too, great stuff.

 

I've finished Bob's Burgers and now I need a new thing.

 

Arrested Development (Saint Smiler will agree)

 

Tried getting into that shortly after discovering Archer. I thought it was only okay.

 

By the way, /r/****tyaskscience is absolutely slaying me.

 

I'm watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently and enjoying it. It's not always amazing but it's easy to watch.

 

People have raved about that but I really couldn't get through more than about an episode an a half. I just really can't get into kind of awkward comedies, from what I remember the first episode was just about them accidentally turning their bar into a gay bar and some stuff about one of them trying to prove they're not racist and it was all just them having awkward encounters around that and I didn't find the dialogue at all funny.

 

It gets a lot better after the first series, it's less about them being awkward and more about them getting into bad situations because they're terrible terrible people, but yeah fair enough.

 

Jack Cork and Wanyama are 25 and 23 years old today, respectively,....how is Big Vic only 23!

 

Because he was born on June 25th 1991.

 

Of course they have the same birthday. Who's up for starting a thread arguing about who had the better party?

 

Boruc decides.

 

watch the wire/sopranos/true detective/fargo

 

Brilliant. The new Breaking Bad. Fantastic casting, script, direction, acting, photography, err, have I missed anything?

 

Nothing can beat Breaking Bad.

 

Fargo comes close.

 

I couldn't get into it.

 

I liked Fargo, but missed the 3rd episode, so I will need to download the rest. Martin Freeman was good, but Billy Bob Thornton was excellent. Still only watched half of Season 2 for Breaking Bad. Need to get around to finishing these.

 

I'd like to add `Wentworth` to the recommended shows, aka Prisoner Cell Block H prequel but very upto date.
I`m on series 2 now, a very good drama.

 

Oh yes, Arrested Development is wonderful, although I wasn't too enamoured with the most recent fourth series

Seeing as you are finished with Bob's Burgers I'm guessing it's a comedic shaped void you're looking to fill. What about Curb Your Enthusiam? That's probably my favourite comedy out there. Another that is a little left field is Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule - it's John C. Reilly as you've never seen him before! The episodes are only 10 mins or so long.

On the drama side of things, and one that no one really talks about, has anyone watched the prison series Oz? I have never been a fan of that type of show, Prison Break for example I have never watched, but Oz is fantastic. It's a little old now (I'm not sure but I believe it was HBO's first ever show?) but really good, if a little nasty at times haha!
