Nathan Barley - Episode Six

[Goldentony]

i hope someone gets killed off.

[massive_bereavement]

I've only seen it the once, but it looked like Dan gives Nathan a column in SugaRAPE. Can't be sure of that, but that's certainly what it looked like.

He's going to get offered the Weekend On Sunday job Dan was after, I reckon.

Nah, that would depend on Morris and Brooker remembering what happened in a previous episode.

Oh, I'll catch the repeat.

Or a swipe at gobshite columnists in papers.

[Purple Tentacle]

It's Frank Spencer for the noughties!

[NobodyGetsOutAlive]

What happened then?

Nathan going down the street on rollerskates?

Did he superglue himself to an 'ironic' inflatable chair?

[teejay]

What am I doing sitting at my PC on a Friday night. Why don't they put something decent on the telly?

[Neil]

Another dig at Vernon Kaye...yeah, go for those hard targets Chris.

[Purple Tentacle]

He attached fireworks to Pingu's legs.

Thisisshitthisisshitthisisshitthisisshitthisisshit  etc.

[Purple Tentacle]

Fuck me, have Morris and Brooker ever actually pitched anything before? Or did they just get their gigs metting with an exec over  aline of cuntdust lady and the tramp style?


Goddamn this shit, goddamn it to hell.

edit: and he's got a magic fucking computer that runs OS X AND Windows!

[jimmy jazz]

he jumped out of a fucking window! people fucking predicted that! my word, the last 5 episodes are forgiven for CaB influenced laugh i got there.

EDIT: or did they already know?

[Regular John]

This is the worst episode so far.

That Queens of the Stone Age advert was shit aswell

[Slackboy]

That was awesomely funny and I have no idea why.

I think that there might be something wrong with me after all.

Bit weird with Pingu though, ay?

Spooky prediction wasn't it? ;-)

[greencalx]

I think there might have been a joke in the episode somewhere.  (Something about Swift?).

The Nathan Barley character is inconsistent and badly drawn.

[jimmy jazz]

It's better than episode 5, but thats not saying much. I've been to funnier funerals than ep. 5

[Goldentony]

'my uncle died without falling out of anything'

at leas that made me chortle

[Neil]

"Tell him you hope he crashes"

[Purple Tentacle]

Anybody who thinks this is in any way acceptable is a fucking buffoon.

There I said it.

[nuttyxander]

"is something brilliant happening?"

no.

[alan strang]

"Tell him you hope he crashes"

Yup.

[NobodyGetsOutAlive]

Sorry, I'll try to stop asking questions about it but I'm just wondering, was anything resolved? Was this revenge actually worth it? Was it left open-ended for the possibility of a 2nd series?


I will catch it tomorrow night, but if anyone cares to enlighten me, then great.


edit..oh it's still on isn't it?

[Purple Tentacle]

It's Paul Garner for the noughties!


edit: And so we return to Jaaaaaaam.    

Great.

[no_offenc]

It's all gone a tad "Jam" now....hmm.  I don't know if I like this.

[Goldentony]

that was a fucking awful ending.

[alan strang]

Christ, it's turned into 'Inside Victor Lewis Smith' now!

[no_offenc]

Wow, what a fucking crap end.  Oh well.  At least I get the pleasure of turnning Jimmy carr off my fucking tlely now.

[jimmy jazz]

and the order, from best to worst.

Episode 3
Episode 4
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 6
Episode 5

My thoughts:

LoL at the Labour Party video game at the start. (Hearty laugh)

Liked the Scarface imagery bit where Nathan lit his fag with the gun even though it didn't go anywhere. (chuckle)

Didn't like the Pingu bit where he jumped out of the window; not arsed whether he lived or not. (Didn't even smirk)

Half-time is here and I'm thinking Morris really has to do something special in the next 10 mins to make this good at best.

"My uncle died without falling out of anything", shit, shit joke.

If Nathan was that much of a cunt he wouldn't have his phone saying "Action" everytime he set it away recording.

Pingu: I'm alright 'cos landed on my thumbs. JESUS HECK TO CRIKEY!

Liked the trippy Hospital be dit at the end. Still, was the series worth it? Somehow, I think not.

[Banana Woofwoof]

What the fuck?  What sort of ending was that? Why did Jam rear its head?  Bilge, from episode 1 to 6.  Cheerio, Nathan Barley.  I don't have any respect for anyone who says this is good.
