well, obviously

better than anything tbqh

>>79258543
>better than House of Cards
WOW

But was VP better?

>TOU'RE A FUCKING PRICK! AN ABSOLUTE CUNT, you understand that?!
Why was Malcolm so angry?

Best comedy series ever imo. More British comedy should be funny and smart like it instead of just "awkward moments the show" like The Office and Peep Show.

EAT THE FUCKING CHEESE

>>79258543
good at first, got bad later

OH FUCK, X MARKS THE SPOT. BETTER TELL THIS PERSON ALL ABOUT THE PRIME MINISTER'S FUCKING CATASTROPHIC ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

More accurate too, there's a quote from a minister somewhere asking if Iannucci had worked in whitehall

>>79259298
that rant is the best moment for me, just him seething with anger then exploding. "FUCKING OLLIE, HES A FUCKIN KNITTED SCARF THAT TWAT!"

>>79259243

Making Ollie the new Malcolm really was a fucking awful decision. And it came from nowhere with no real plotting, it just felt like a favor to the actor playing him to make him look cool.

Really unsatisfying ending.

>>79258543
>le shouty man is better than House of Cards
in reality Malcolm would have got a smack in the mouth or if he hit someone he would be prosecuted.

I would have told that cunt to shit his mouth.

"You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment"

>>79259902
i meant it began to suck when they introduced the opposition

but yeah the inquiry episode was utter ass

Why is it that British tv series always know when to end while American shows drag on forever?

>>79259902
the whole series ollie has looked up to malcolm, following him around like a dog. Also he doesnt really become the new malcolm, he takes his position but as tucker calls him out on it, he wont be there long hes not strong enough

>>79259964

I sort of agree but Peter Mannion is fucking great. The rest of the opposition are bland but anything with Peter and his general disgust for modern life and Stewart's new age hip corporate thinking is great.

>>79258543
Yeah i agree but which house of cards you talking about

>>79258644
The office was pretty meh appart from a few bits
Peep show was brilliant, if you ignore season 9

>>79260034
>Peter Mannion is fucking great
he has good interactions with other characters
>Stewart's new age hip corporate thinking is great.
we already had that with the blue skies guy for not labour- julius, or whatever

it's flanderisation, same with nicola murray who literally became a meme by season 5

>>79260187
you think stewart and julius nicholson that baldy pussy are the same?

>>79259964
Peter Mannion is great though. The thought camp episode is kino.

>>79258543
YOU CAN'T FUCK ME
I'M UNFUCKABLE

>>79260034

I loved the opposition, especially Peter and Stu. I hated how Philip started off as a great foppish-but-predatory tory boy character but by the end was a LOTR quoting comedy virgin. Especially compared to Emma's unfailing brilliance at everything.

>>79260220
they're pretty much the same character, yes
>>79260226
when mr tickle dies?

it got a few laughs from me, but they were cheap laughs

>le swearing scot

wow so wacky and cool haha what are you like M Tuck

>>79259996
If you had a well paying job would you quit while it's still new and fresh or would you slowly start to slack while making progressively more and more money for doing an arguably shittier job?

GOAT moment from the movie:

>>79259902
Last season was rushed

the fact they split the time between both parties didn't help either

It's the greatest comedy ever put on TV.

>>79259996
But it didn't. Thick of It's 4th season felt off.

It had some fine things in it, but still off.

The opposition was great (especially when they went into coalition, those two lib dem fuckers were gold)

>>79260187
>he didn't like quiet bat-people

>>79258644
You can't compare The Office and Peep Show. Peep Show has good writing.

>>79259996
Americans want to milk money for as long as they can.

>>79259964
The opposition gives a really good insight into the 'new tories' like Cameron, Johnson, and Clegg for the Lib Dems. The whole 'I say black instead of coloured, I think women are a good thing' from Mannion showcases this well. You can't really have a political comedy without giving some light to the opposition

>>79260363
Kiss my sweaty ballsack, you fat fuck

>>79260187
Julius was not blue-skys, he was managerial and pedantic

>>79260440
>the inquiry episode
I love the show but that was boring as shit

>>79260467
I'm pretty sure Manion's based on Ken Clarke who was always socially liberal but clearly couldn't keep up with the times

>>79260496
that was a great episode the way it all played out then revealing tucker had fuckered himself

>>79260450
>The opposition was great (especially when they went into coalition, those two lib dem fuckers were gold)
it didn't match the tone of the earlier seasons which were things that you could have seen happening irl
>he didn't like quiet bat-people
it got a giggle from me
>>79260467
> The whole 'I say black instead of coloured, I think women are a good thing' from Mannion showcases this well.
no one talks like that
>You can't really have a political comedy without giving some light to the opposition
you have phil and emma in season 2 though, or is it the specials? either way it's not necessary to show the opposition, just like it isn't necessary to show the PM
>>79260483
>Julius Nicholson is a hugely respected advisor. He now has a wide ranging brief and his blue-sky vision and helicopter-thinking will enable this government to go, in his own phrase, beyond delivery and beyond that

His story made no sense. Nobody's going to believe that you were looking up CP as research for your next role.

He's not the same person though, unless you think Lord Adonis and Steve Hilton are the same people

Yeah, surprise surprise, the policy wonk has a similar role, that doesn't mean they're the same character. Hilton is a stereotype of Cameron's "big society, green" crap, it's completely dissimilar to New Labour

>>79258616
because politicians are incompetent fucks, even the most kind hearted fellow would grow insane having to work with them

got to take issue with the "things you could see happening in real life" as many things from that season had happened, or in actual fact the show predicted. Think the bank mishap happened literally the week after that episode in real life

>>79261046
i mean in terms of people acting like people rather than realistic political events

the opposition characters are funny but they don't act like real people

>>79258616
Apparently he's based on Alastair Campbell.

>>79260651
When is Capaldi not in it?

>>79261452
apparently more on harvey weinstein

>>79258543
Is that Sid's dad?

>>79261582

Tom Cruise's performance in Tropic Thunder is attributed to him, too.

>tfw they got rid of based funny Hugh for unfunny cunt Nicola Murray who can only do awkward humor like mediocre Peep Show/Office

He shouldn't have looked at cp, but cmon, BBC people have gotten away with much worse.

Reminder that Glenn is the best character - not for being funny, but for having good character development. I don't know why people always ignore it.

YOU MASSIVE GAY SHITE! FUCK OFF!

Is his Doctor Who good?

>>79265704
Yeah, he's a good actor. How good his episodes are is debatable though. That said, 'Heaven Sent' has got to be one of the best Dr Who episodes.

>>79264852
Hugh wants to talk to tinky fucking winky? Well fuck tinky winky!
Love Glenns outbursts

>>79265704
not as good as his malcolm performance but it feels more to be the director's fault as it is his job to bring out an actor's full potential

>"That's top swearing, Glenn, well done"
