I know. But I developed it with the terrific punchline about his height.

My first experience of Twitter Policeman Graham Linehan was when there was a to-do about Femfresh - women complaining that 'feminine hygeine' products suggested they were inherently dirty. Graham for some reason decided to weigh in and tell all the silly women to stop making a fuss. Over and over again. I read it thinking 'jesus Graham, why are you so invested in this?'. And look where we are now.

I can't find the original tweets now - most of them were quote tweets which are hard to search for - but this was one of them (https://twitter.com/Glinner/status/216552249818742785)

Quote"Pouring shame on body parts?" If there was a special soap for cleaning my penis, I'd be all over that shit. I would never go out again.

knob soap = twitter

It's also worth pointing out that tweet has more replies than it does likes and RTs put together (but I can't read them for some reason)

Glinner fucking retweeted The Falcon Malteser.....

edit - it was some complete bollocks about Owen Jones as well. Not going to link to it. Absolutely pathetic.

He's wanking on about otherkin as well, which means he's sunk to the level of dickhead redditors picking up some daft, vulnerable kids on Tumblr as if they're the biggest threat to modern society. How long before he's making jokes about identifying as an attack helicopter?

Remember when he did the SORTED! bit in Brass Eye

I'm just gonna pretend Arthur Matthews wrote Father Ted on his own

I bet he regrets adapting The Ladykillers now!!!!!!!

Literally just thinking about this. Remember seeing his Ladykillers and the major (played by Clive Mantle when I saw it) was a crossdresser or something?

Oh and Mrs Wilberforce was trans in this version , which is why they all wanted to kill her. Should have seen this coming.

Delurking to ask

Is there any chance the whole IT Crowd 'a man' 'Iran' gag flop was meant to be 'Amman' that city in the middle east? The joke makes a lot more sense and plays on the fact that Douglas was so naively trans-unaware at the time of the disclosure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman





Earlier exchange: Douglas clearly distracted, eating, not paying attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2KsZHRrFpU


Later:
'I'm not from Iran'

'Well you said something along those lines'

No. The line is "I used to be a man" and it's repeated. It's just poor writing in what is a very broad comedy. This is the same episode that has Jen convinced she has custody of the Internet in a box and that Employee of the Month is some kind of Nobel prize.

In an ideal world the joke would be "I'm now a broad" and Douglas thinks she works overseas.

Also Graham Linehan is banned from Twitter sine die

Frasier did this exact joke, when their old school bully - now a plumber - comes to fix their bathroom. Niles tells Frasier to say that he's overseas.

"Niles is abroad now."
"Huh. I mean, I guess I always suspected, but..."

Brett Easton Ellis in American Psycho, too (with a slighty different interpretation of 'broad').

Patrick Bateman to the two hookers he's brought to his apartment: 'Have either of you been abroad ... I mean, overseas ...?'

I'm ploughing through my Frasier DVDs so I'm just going to unnecessarily point out that's actually from a later episode, Liar, Liar!, when talking to his imprisoned old classmate who he and Niles framed and got expelled.

Imagine if Glinner did get banned from Twitter.

What on earth would he do with his time? Being transphobic on Twitter is his entire life now.
