Silliness that changed you. - Page 3

Fawlty Towers,
or Farty Towels

My favorite episode is when the battle axe, complaining woman is too cheap to turn up her hearing aide because the battery goes. Then theres a whole missing/hiding money thing. Basil totally, brilliantly loses it. My favorite line, as he's just tricked her into turning it up and then screamed in her ear "Is this a piece of your brain?!"

Tracey Ullman was/is silly and did/does change me. She's the best.

And Ms. Ullman introduced the Simpsons to the world, for which we are forever grateful.

Tracey Ullman is brilliant. And she seems to get funnier and wackier every time I see her. Did anyone see her recent appearance on the Daily Show?

xoxoxoBruce · 08-22-2003, 04:55 PM

Tracy Ullman. Mmmmm...traaaacy......
There's nothing she can't do.
There's nothing she can't wear.
There's nothing she can't afford.

I saw Tracey on the Daily Show doing her Kim Cattrall. She can make Jon blush, and thats good.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-27-2003, 05:39 PM

Damn, warch. I'd have loved to see that!

OMG! I'm forever in your debt for that link, bm and to warch for the heads-up, too.

The first link has all the dialog but the second one (14meg

) shows the body english (and Tracey's underwear

) that makes her performance outrageous. Two thumbs up.

Funnies; Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Garfield, Montey Python, Bill Cosby, Carlin, Are you being served, Absolutely Fabulous, Fawlty Towers, (I'm really into brit humor - can ya tell??) Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Stand up comedy in general, MARGARET CHO, Tim Allen, Dougles Adams, Dilbert.... etc.

      I saw Carlin live several years back. Excellent show. Got a T-shirt with Carlin on the front and on the back it says, "Simon says go fuck yourself." I'm rather fond of it...
      Still a bit said about Adams kickin' off. Ah, well.

Elspode · 09-26-2003, 10:04 PM

I have, for some time now, been of the opinion that George Carlin is less and less a comedian and more and more a philosopher.

Whit · 09-26-2003, 10:27 PM

      Eh, he's on the border. I will say that he's made me consider a lot of topics that I otherwise would not have. Prostitution for example. As it plays absolutely no role in my life I hadn't realy considered if it should be legal or not. Carlin discussed it and convinced me it sould be. I've never seen anyone poke holes in his arguement.
      Of course, I don't believe the laws should be based on pure morality either. Heck, I don't even think old statues in the capital should get covered for the sake of decency, so what do I know?

Elspode · 09-27-2003, 02:44 AM

As a Missourian, I believe I have the right to say this about our homeboy AG Johnny "The Disciple" Ashcroft...he's a twit, pandering to a narrow section of the public out of a misbegotten notion that it will somehow win votes and garner favor for his political career.

Pious? Yeah, sure...but who the hell is stupid enough to think that the average American is seriously offended by a statue's nudity? Ashcroft is just another right-wing religious nut with a carefully calculated agenda designed to bring him into power and control the lives of others in a world of his own puritanical devising.

He probably smokes crack and masturbates to gay porn in the privacy of his own bedroom.

No...don't get me started on Ashcroft. Besides, this isn't the Politics section, and I try to stay out of there.
