Can’t Smeg Won’t Smeg

I kinda like it, Danny’s appalling performance as Cat (he’s good as Duane though) and the *appalling* Kochanski stuff aside. The rest of it is rather fun – a pleasingly bizarre clash between Dwarf and daytime TV, which I think is a fun idea.

GO.

I don’t know, you think I just fell out of a tree? So a place that puts comedy so highly in there lives, doesn’t get my obvious and balatant goofs, you really need to lighten up. You all have such talent in abstracting every detail in Red Dwarf, and making it your opinion, life isn’t always about opinion, who is wrong, who is right and who agree’s. But if making me look stupid and it makes you happy, then carry on, I have a lifetime of experience.

We don’t have to.

Exactly, makes you feel better dosn’t it?

An obvious and blatant goof is spelling “Blatant” as “Blantant” (or, um, “Terrorform” as “Terraform”). Is it your actual opinion that Red Dwarf is aimed at 12-15 year olds or was it a slightly unbelievable typo?

>But if making me look stupid and it makes you happy, then carry on

Does making us look like a bunch of losers who like a children’s programme make you happy?

No offence James, but it WAS a really stupid thing to say considering the readership.

>Does making us look like a bunch of losers who like a children?s programme make you happy?

Before everyone jumps on this, I’d like to retract this bit. There’s a few old children’s programmes I like a lot.

James, please, no one is trying to make you look stupid. Everyone on here gets pulled up on things they say if someone doesn’t agree. The fact that three people noticed they misinterpreted one of your comments and apologised for doing so shows that they’re not out to knife you unfairly.

>The fact that three people noticed they misinterpreted one of your comments and apologised for doing so shows that they?re not out to knife you unfairly.

This is worth noting. It represents the only gesture of good will displayed on Ganymede and Titan since the relaunch and you squandered it!

Also, can we get John Hoare banned for creating such an inflammatory thread?

I think it’s about time we had him banned.

Someone had to say it.

To have an opinion is to be serious, to produce a well written opinion is serious, to be silly and stupid it is again to be taken seriously. I’m sorry if my intentions were taken the wrong way.

I was 21 when I watched Red Dwarf for the first time, I watched The End because I didn’t fit a demographic, I watched it because it wasn’t directed at me, it was strange, funny and I had never seen amything like it before. So really I could hardly now think it is and was directed at 12 to 15 year olds could I?

Really my splurge was to prove that anything can be taken and used to provide an opinion, it can be right or wrong, but it is mainly used to bring down something or someone.

Which is fine and like I said to Pete yesterday, I love to read well constructed critique, and he’s one of the best.

There you go Ian, more words oooh

[Zombie Jim Undead]

I’m massively confused.

Ah, so you were trolling.

[James]

That wasn’t my intent.

Danny seems to be doing series 1 Cat in this

Danny’s appalling performance as Cat 
Danny arrives as the Cat. I don’t want to talk about this bit.

I found these comments funny because it’s the exact same type of performance he gives in series 1. Semi fourth wall breaking, random noises, rambling.

I haven’t really noticed any criticism about the way Danny played the role back then, so it’s curious that it’s so offputting for people here. Maybe because it’s meant to be series 6/7-ish so it has the same weirdness about it as the “smooth with a capital smoo” repeat in VIII?

I’m not interested in watching CSMS again, but I’m continually reminded of Series 1 Cat by my own cat’s annoying actions, which makes me appreciate the representation even more. I wonder whether it was Rob and/or Doug who grew up with a cat.

[Rushy]

Lmao. I read that there are dispensers with a timer, so you can set it to go off at 3 AM.

Yeah, but that scene was after he already learned how to use the food dispensers, it would be the same thing.

Can’t Cook Won’t Cook has been off the air since 2000, and I don’t think it’s some kind of well-known phrase, so the title of this special has probably confounded younger and overseas fans ever since it’s been a DVD extra.
