It was Lister, wasn’t it? He put you off.

[Moonlight]

This moment has always stuck in my head, so I need to ask: what are the moments in Red Dwarf, not the obvious ones, that put you off?

I can’t stand Lister licking his dust-covered finger here. It’s awful.

[Technopeasant]

Kind of the reverse, but I am always heartbroken about losing the fresh cream and strawberries and am 100% behind Lister digging them back out of the trash.

[Unrumble]

This. If it is a napkin, the very idea makes me shudder.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched Xtended but I always thought SURELY that’s abnormally bright piece of bread or something. It being the napkin is horrible.

I absolutely agree.

[Technopeasant]

The fact that Cat gives him a look might imply this is an obvious one.

[Moonlight]

The garbage pod one bothers me even more because he’s literally licking his dusty fingers in real life. At least that isn’t actually booze.

[Hamish]

Even if it was water he’s still got most of it down his front.

Danny manages.

It helps it’s linen and not paper so it’s not disintegrating 

[Paul Muller]

It’s fine, the props department probably just covered it in icing sugar or something.

That bit where Cat eviscerates a teenager’s vagina with his barbed penis.

[Flap Jack]

Be fair. He actually un-eviscerated a teenager’s vagina with his barbed penis.

RED DWARF ICKS

Controversial alternative title for Back To Earth.

For your consideration, may I submit this moment:

[Nick R]

Off-putting in a different way:

[Warbodog]

Sweaty (Hologram) Rimmer always evoked the most potent imagined smell for me, largely thanks to Barry’s convincing performance and memories of PE.

[Unrumble]

It helps it’s linen and not paper so it’s not disintegrating 

It doesn’t help me. I find the idea of it disturbing. I’m also not fond of those little wooden forks/spoons that are becoming more prominent. Hate the sensation of them against my tongue.

[Stephen R. Fletcher]

I can never watch any scene on any show or movie with teeth falling out or being pulled out. 

[Starbugger]

“I don’t know why I f*ckin’ ate that cigarette!”

Me neither, Craig.

Always found this ghastly:

Even though it’s Series VII, I guarantee Rob wrote this bit.

[Renegade Rob]

Kryten dumping the soup in Rimmer’s bunk always bothered me for multiple conflicting reasons. Like it’s sort of overkill but also kind of… underkill? Part of me is like ew, that’s a gross thing to do to a bunk and another part of me is like oh no, what a waste of tasty-looking soup! I think it bothers me because Rimmer isn’t gonna have to clean that up (because he physically can’t and presumably won’t be able to feel the soupiness of his bunk either). The livvies were enjoying the soup, and they and/or the Skutters are gonna have to clean it up, so all Kryten is doing is wasting otherwise good soup and making a mess that doesn’t really hurt the one person it’s supposed to and actually inconveniences everyone else. 

[Moonlight]

One specific lady in the audience thinks he went too far there.

[Renegade Rob]

[Flap Jack]

Between series Kryten joined up with Just Stop Oil.

Excellent.

Lister sneezing on the camera in a Smeg Ups video, during a link. I don’t think it’s canon though, so just forget I spoke, alright?

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Dave I love you

[Renegade Rob]

Why would Kryten repeatedly dump soup on perfectly innocent locations they visit in the back half of Series 5 of Doctor Who? That’s so mean, and so specific. 

[Unrumble]

Dave I love you

[RunawayTrain]

Non-canon, but real life – Can’t Smeg Won’t Smeg when nobody washes their hands after handling raw chicken!

[Renegade Rob]

Technically an obvious gross-out scene, but for me, the off-putting gross-out isn’t the obvious tarantula of it all, it’s trying to figure out what the smeg that edible prop actually is made from, which I reckon must’ve still be gross for Craig to chew on IRL. Hard to imagine even heavily made-up edible food being appetizing when it’s been given any degree of fuzz. (Maybe in real life it’s made from a licorice allsort covered in fluff from somebody’s pocket.)

[International Debris]

I’ve never noticed Rimmer pretend-eating in the background before (I’m mostly trying to block out the thought of tarantula in the mouth), he’s playing that brilliantly horribly.

[Renegade Rob]

Yeah I noticed that for the first time too when I made that GIF. (Sorry for that btw, that is an unpleasant GIF, my bad)

[Rudolph]

Back in the Red, Part Three ending on the big laugh of Rimmer’s imminent gang rape.

[Moonlight]

I feel like we’d need an entire second thread for Series VIII.

[tombow]

the opening of BTE with him sneezing on the ironing board is weirdly disturbing to me for some reason, maybe because it’s subtle
