[problemarea]

Sorry if you've seen this before, but it made me piss:

[The Duck Man]

He he, that was excellent, even if I didn't get that weird Hippie bit in the middle...

(Me just being thick probably)

[mayer]

You'll never guess....

I made it!

[problemarea]

I didn't get that weird Hippie bit in the middle

Me either.

I think your just being young, as anyone over the age of about 22 would recognise Trev and Simon as The Singing Corner.

[The Duck Man]

17, so hey ho.

Still don't get what it's got to do with Nathan Barley though?

im 30 and I didnt get it.

[mayer]

You'll never guess....

I made it!

[racingline]

That wasmore worthwhile than the whole series. Excellent work.

[mayer]

I didn't really make it. alan strang did. It's been mentioned in about 4 other threads already. Ahem.


It is rather good, isn't it?

[The Duck Man]

Yes, I saw it in the Nathan Barley thread straight after I saw this thread.

Curse you mayer!

[Jemble Fred]

(Clicks jaw back into place)

Alan... how are you not rich?

[Labian Quest]

That's awesome.

[Regular John]

Just saw it on the Something Awful forums, I claimed credit for it alan!

(Just kidding, I'm fucking jealous)

[Frinky]

That's fantastic work.

The Brent bit was nicely executed.

[Ambient Sheep]

I think your just being young, as anyone over the age of about 22 would recognise Trev and Simon as The Singing Corner.

I didn't recognise them either - but that's probably because I'm too OLD!  :-)

I'm so glad that this has now got a thread of its very own.  It deserves it.

[imitationleather]

How come I knew it was Trev & Simon eh? All of your memories must be getting flabby.

Brilliant work blah blah blah...

[Jemble Fred]

Actually, although it was obviously Trev & Simon, I don't quite understand why they're there. But as I'm an arrogant cunt I'll put it down to end-of-day's-work brain frazzle. Same goes for the hand throwing a card or something. You could write a fucking essay on that animation.

[SimonJT]

Who was the bloke in the green jacket?

[Lee]

I believe that's Charlie Brooker, Simon.

[SimonJT]

No, the one later on, when the voice says "Your whole planet's... [something]"

[Regular John]

That's Martin "Tim Reacts" Freeman

[Hemorrhoid Shark]

Doh! I thought it was William Shatner (The voice in the background does sound a bit like him). I thought it was some kind of clever Shatner's Bassoon reference.

Then again, I'm not a massive Office fan, so I probably wouldn't get that one anyway.

[weekender]

The funniest part of that is the 'subliminal' message.

[neveragain]

Bugger it, I can't work out what that actually says. 'Morris is a cunt' perchance?

[imitationleather]

I finally got the, "Your home planet's been blown up, motherfucker" bit. Superb!

[DuncanC]

I remember Trev and Simon fine, but didn't realise that was meant to be them...

[Cambrian Times]

I got the Trev and Simon bit, but I thought Martin Freeman for some reason was Jack Osbourne.

[Ambient Sheep]

Same goes for the hand throwing a card or something.

That's from something, but I can't remember what.  As are the guitar harmonics behind it - what bit of music is that from Alan, it's been bugging me a bit.  Anyway I don't care - it's just beautiful.

You could write a fucking essay on that animation.

You most certainly could.

The hand throwing a cigarette is a recreation of a TV advert for Captain Beefheart' album  "Lick My Decals Off, Baby". In the original, the cigarette hits a speaker playing some of his music and the music cuts out abruptly. It's intercut with other black-and-white weirdness, including a man with a bag and noose over his head, shuffling sideways across the screen scratching a vinyl record with a broken-off  player arm.

It so terrified viewers that the manager of the TV station airing the ad recieved death threats.

The track's Beefheart, but I can't remember which one.
