h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I agree, it is very funny. I recon it's one of the best, but not THE best.

Even bits of lines can have a resonance.

I'm sure we all recognise -

"....that's very nearly an armful"
"....Wild? I was furious!"
"....It's an ex-parrot"
"....he's just a very naughty boy"
".....but eet's waffer thin"

One from the office:

(someone): That dog in The Dam Busters was called Nggger
David Brent: Yeah, but that was back in the days before racism was wrong

One from the Royle Family:

(someone) She's a vegetarian
Gran: Can't we just give her very thin slices of ham?

Guru - you have no idea the flak I got from people on this board when I mentioned that I had a black lab with that name when I was a kid, named after the dog in the film.

Ah yes, so it is, if it's understood that this *he* is standing in front of 'em at the time. I'd forgotten that.

TRiG.

I f*rt in your general direction.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

I've taken the unprecedented step of reading the link on the original post and it says "from a comedy show".

So, no reason to exclude radio. Radio has shows. Also, it doesn't specifically say sitcoms, although all the quotes seem to be from sitcoms.

"We have one chief weapon: Fear. Fear and surprise. *Two* weapons..."

Oh, you know the rest, even if you don't expect it. No-one does.

"Suits you sir"

"I was verrry, verrry drunk"

Don't mention the war.

That's you that is

You see people who misquote "suit you" as "suits you"?

That's you. That's you doing your best to quote a comedy sketch.

p.s. "Scorchio!"

Indeed Freddy pet,

Don't look at me!

You ain't seen me.......right ?

Hmm.

I think that there are 10 catchphrases from The Fast Show that are funnier than the top 10 "funniest" catchphrases actually chosen.

Which was nice.

"today, I shall be mostly eating raspberries"

"Eth-eth-eth-eth, eth-eth-eth, eth-eth-eth-eth. Chrith Waddle."

Genius.
