7th Annual 'On Cinema' Oscar Special

[Puce Moment]

This will, as always, be streaming on Adult Swim. It's become an annual ritual for me to watch the Oscars and the On Cinema Special in tandem.

Some people might find the format samey and repetive but I love the entire premise, and just love to see Proksch in this comedy world.

It's Christmastime for Tinseltown, the Academy Awards!


So very much looking forward to this. I can't remember the last time I actually gave a hoot about the winners and losers at the Oscars, but this has been a treat year after year.

In case you've not seen it, this compilation of corpsing and character breaking moments from the On Cinema At The Cinema Oscar Specials is fast becoming the go to video to cheer me up if I'm ever feeling down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUE5_Mnelwc  - Although, it doesn't feature perhaps my favourite corpsing from the 2015 special when Tim talked about being "attacked by Charlie Hebdo".

Oscer was probably in the bottom three of things I cared about in this world before On Cinema came along. I was seriously considering staying up to watch it live on Sunday, but typically have now got a visitor to meet at work on the Monday. Might still do it anyway.

First live one i'll be able to see after ploughing through On Cinema universe the last months and being up to date. Thanks QDRPHNC and Nags

Can anyone catch me up on where they are at the moment? I don't think I kept up much after Mister America. I'm assuming Gregg and Tim are on bad terms, as usual, and I think Mark was still in a coma last I checked. Anything else major that'll set the scene for this Oscer?

[BlodwynPig]

Mark is out of coma since last oscars special when he did a Davro

I only need to watch seasons 4 onwards of Decker and Mister America to be mostly complete (bar the podcast/telethon stuff). Whaleman?

[Noodle Lizard]

Shows how out of it I am - I thought Mark was still in a coma even after he did the Davro, and then there was some business about Gregg defrauding the health insurance or something in the last season. Can't remember Mark being in Mister America much or at all.

[weaseldust]

mark was woken up from the first coma during the last oscar special (which happened after mister america chronologically) - he was in a few series 11 episodes

this series mark was arrested for selling those bootleg tapes with gregg and then he was beaten up in prison, causing him to fall into a second coma.

then at some point the charges were dropped and he woke up from the coma and left the hospital, but now he is missing and gregg has been searching the streets for him.

i think some of that stuff might have only been revealed on twitter

I think the end of last season had Mark in the second coma, that's right. The Mark Missing must have been on twitter as I don't use that platform.

Can imagine some fucked up shit coming Gregg/Tim's way now with renegade Mark looking for revenge.

[Captain Z]

Mark missing was in the Oscar Special telethon: Tim was in the studio and Greg called in a couple of times from the streets where he was out looking for Mark.

Can the Adult Swim stream be watched in the UK? If not, are there any alternative places to watch it live?

[weaseldust]

yes i've watched it live before

http://www.adultswim.com/streams

starts at 1am

[BlodwynPig]

Its tonight? Damn

[chveik]

for once it'll be worth it to fuck my sleeping pattern

[Puce Moment]

No work for me tomorrow so it is going to be a night of edibles, on cinema and somehow streaming the actual oscars ceremony.

If anyone knows of a good place to watch the oscars being streamed I would appreciate it!

EDIT: Signed up for NOWTV for a week.

Fucking hell I love live Oscar. I hope they do this forever.

[selectivememory]

Can't wait to see what Gregg's big showpiece finale is this year.

[QDRPHNC]

Here we go...

[bgmnts]

Can't wait to see what Gregg's big showpiece finale is this year.

A huge vegan sausage roll.

[QDRPHNC]

Ooh high brow

What's up with Tim's suit.

[selectivememory]

Haha, fucking hell, Gregg's entrance is amazing.

[chveik]

honk honk here's the jokster

[Puce Moment]

Brand.

[QDRPHNC]

Gregg as Joker: this is a preview of next year's 40th anniversary of Arthur.

[mbedd]

is it 3 frames out of sync or is it just me

[QDRPHNC]

It's very very very slightly out of sync.

[mbedd]

cheers, can't trust my setup at the moment

[Puce Moment]

I'm also streaming the actual Oscars but I can see that the adult swim stream is a teensy bit oos

[selectivememory]

The Joker makeup is making Gregg look about 25% more smug when he drops another movie fact.

[QDRPHNC]

Hah, he's going after moneyzap
