can everyone just deal with the fact that they either didnt like it or did like it and move on. even discussions about the merits of the office is more interesting than this 'ha, i burn this sacred cow good, see how clever i be' shit

Remember when someone posted a transcript of that first scene a while ago and everyone was saying 'This can't be real, the writing's too weak and obvious...'

Yes.

But why no complaints from Gary Lineker? He was hoaxed as much as the rest of them?

He's always hanging round kids, stealing their crisps and asking them to chase him.

Only the guilty need hide away. He's as bad as the rest of them.

I say hang him.

>I say hang him.

On these forums I've noticed that:

MOGWAI ALWAYS HAS THE LAST WORD BECAUSE MOGWAI ALWAYS KNOWS WHEN A STREAM OF SHITE HAS RUN ITS COURSE.

Hail Mogwai, The Cute Gremlin, Father of Thor, Son of Andorr, Daughter of Mahehb, Kissin's Cousin Of Rooraahhooghann, Soothe (sword held aloft) of the Mountain of Raaaahb, Grand Wizard of Dungeons and Dragons, Spearhead From Space, the Daemons, Terror of the Axons, The Green Death, Planet of Evil, Face of Evil, Spearhead of the Zygon Death Peter Davison of Evil. HAIL!! HAIL!!

Sorry, Mogwai. I'm pissed (UK meaning: drunk).

What's wrong with starting the show with some blatantly obvious jokes? Loads of shows have done it in the past, why shouldn't this?

Clive Anderson, for one. Oh.....

i still think the line 'but the peadophile is lurking' or whatever it is, sound pretty lousy, but with the visuals and seeing the rest of the programme i think he got away with it.

>i still think the line 'but the peadophile is lurking' or whatever it is, sound pretty lousy, but with the visuals and seeing the rest of the programme i think he got away with it.

It's probably worth pointing out that no comedy, however good, can survive this kind of line by line disection.

But we're going to do it anyway!

I find the word 'lurking' hilarious in itself.....

>It's probably worth pointing out that no comedy, however good, can survive this kind of line by line disection.

but isn't it this kind of mindnumbing attention to detail that SOTCAA exists for?

Yes. And I can't see anybody laughing, can you?!

Ollie. Do you have 'issues' with SOTCAA? That's twice you've had a pop in the last few days.....

>Ollie. Do you have 'issues' with SOTCAA? That's twice you've had a pop in the last
>few days.....

I wouldn't have said that was a pop on his part. An exagerration - though not that much (and I'd suggest that doing, or wanting to do, a line-by-line analysis, while it does miss the point of a comedy to a degree, is still a perfectly valid thing to do).

Mildly light-hearted, nameless one.

And now we've done a word-by-word analysis of ollie's message.

We will literally analyse anything. What a bunch of slags.

i wasn't having a go, just stating a fact. anyway without sotcaa i wouldn't have anything to read while i download pornography.

Don't pretend that's a joke.....

>Don't pretend that's a joke.....

i wish it were!

or should it be 'was'? terrible grammar for an english graduate.

>Mildly light-hearted,

Yes, have looked again now.

> nameless one.

Twas me, ejaculating prematurely.

When someone posted that transcript, I actually said I thought it sounded quite authentic. Yes, look impressed.

I believe that I said that I didn't care. I still don't, incidentally.

>When someone posted that transcript, I actually said I thought it sounded quite authentic. Yes, look impressed.

I said whoever it was was a fuckwit, and I stand by that.

I didn't say anything, and I still haven't.

I described it as a bit poor, or words to that effect, and wondered if I was mad. The last week has made me seriously wonder if I still am.
