Old comedies with a newfound resonance

[Virgo76]

Re-watching This Time With Alan Partridge from 2019, on the iplayer.
It included a surprisingly timely item on the importance of regular hand washing.
Not exactly 'old' admittedly but everything more than a few weeks' old feels a bit ancient at the moment.

I've been rewatching early Frasier as a bit of comfort food, and Niles obsessively wiping chairs, looking uncomfortable after people shake his hand, etc just seems like normal behaviour now.

Does this mean we have to reappraise Sheldon Cooper?

The stilted atmosphere with no audience, too

In I'm Alan Partridge, Alan presents a corporate video for Hamilton's Water Breaks - a COrporate VIDeo, which is like COVID isn't it

Also everyone in it has lungs

The scene that starts at 15:28 is, er, problematic.

The Alan Partridge handwashing bit has been playing through my mind a lot lately too. Must have said "15 IS FINE." out loud a few times while carrying out substandard handwashing.

I keep gulping the word "creamy" whenever my other half is washing her hands.

Friends yesterday: for Reasons, Phoebe is pretending to be Chandler's dying fiancee, which she crappily demonstrate's by coughing a bit. Chandler: "Yes, she's dying of a cough. Apparently."

Peep Show.

Gerard's died of flu.

[Virgo76]

I just rewatched Simon Amstell's vision of a vegan future,  Carnage (2017) on the iplayer. A Super Swine Flu epidemic is predicted for 2021. Perhaps  'eerily prophetic' would be overstating it. But it definitely resonates, watching it today.
