Inside No 9 - series 6

[pk1yen]

Most laughs in an episode of anything I've watched this year. Great stuff. I hope this gets renewed forever.

(The CaB line felt a bit like a singularity moment revealing my whole existence is either a big simulation or a coma dream.
Maybe it was I who have been Inside the #9 hospital bed all along.)

It's weird how some people on twitter seem to be thinking that the mention of C&B is some kind of well deserved put down of this place. References to cumsocks and meals for one and "hahaha fuck you Cook'd and Bomb'd." Very strange.

Yes, and I think it says something that we realise it wasn't a dig. If anyone's capable of picking up on a slight!

[jobotic]

I immediately thought of all your little faces with beaming smiles rather than cumming into your crysocks.

Mine was beaming anyway.

EDIT - [Fat fingered accidental post. The simulation's coming apart.]

Only possible thing I would change[nb]Not that I would have any right to do so[/nb] is, when Pantalone talked about iPlayer, the screen should have started buffering.

Anyone spot the Hare? Where was it?

The hare is still there - found it on my second viewing.

Spoiler alert

It in th montage scene when it flips to slow motion following the explosion - the hare flys out-of-focus past the screen very quickly (right-to-left) accompanied by a whooshing sound effect

Can't believe nobody's screengrabbed for posterity it yet. Click for embiggenment:



Kudos to the closed-caption writer.

That floored me, well done Barry!

[BritishHobo]

Great cast as well, but an especially lovely performance from Kevin Bishop.

I will give the programme 1 star however as my meal-for-one was cold.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Joke's on Twitter as I don't eat a meal for one, I just suck the protein out of old socks.

[Blumf]

Missed it live as we we're watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, just caught up on iPlayer. It were okay, wasn't really feeling the hyper-meta, but I did enjoy the lame jokes.

Ah right, cheers!

We should all change our avs to that screengrab in honour of this, by the way!

Best farting chair gag since Perrin.

I wish I could remember the name of the actor Kevin Bishop seemed to be channeling, it's doing my head in.

[St_Eddie]

Good episode, that.  A sort of mashup between Ealing comedies and Reservoir Dogs, with a touch of the Shakespearean.  I was HOWWWWLLLLLLL(ing) with laughter at the sight of Reece slowly sinking into his leather chair.

One joke which I fear may have flown over my head was this one...

"We hatched this plan to steal the diamonds from you and run away together to the Caribbean."

"Trinidad and Tobago?"

"Yes."

I feel as though Trinidad and Tobago is supposed to sound like something else (in the same way "Alaska" sounds like "I'll ask her") and the joke is subversive and so instead Pemberton's character simply replies with an affirmative "yes", but I'm struggling to think what Trinidad and Tobago sounds like.

[Greg Torso]

It was a subversion of the "Jamaica?" "No she went of her own accord" joke

Ah, thank you.

[Greg Torso]

nae problem

Jason Donovan?  That's who I thought it was, after a brief flash of "is that Pemberton", like a dismayed yet unsurprised schoolmaster in some sort of semi-autobiographical League of Gentlemen-themed children's book.

NAFTA for Neil

[Custard]

I reckon this now means that we are best friends with Reece, and I for one am delighted

The outtakes of his cameo on Car Share is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen

https://youtu.be/EgssU4nnaqs

And, you know, all the other work he's done

So yes Reece, we ARE enjoying this on the Cook'd and Bomb'd wanksock baldy meal for one forums xxx

[lazyhour]

Loved it.

Like someone else upthread, I think I'm also too stupid to understand the Echo ending reveal. Can anyone explain it to me? Reece?

But only for people watching on iPlayer.

[Havmannen]

Episodes like last night are really excellent for showing off Reece's brilliance as a comic performer.

[SpiderChrist]

Well, that was splendid and, after listening to the podcast, I now know a tiny amount about commedia dell'arte too. The armchair scene nearly burst a blood cell in my brain.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

I don't think I've ever felt more at odds with a CaB 'consensus'. :-(

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a broad meta comedy.

[jobotic]

I enjoyed it a lot but it did take a little while for me to get on board I must admit. I said at the beginning "are these jokes meant to be terrible?", but when I realised they were I loved it.

I'm going legal over Genoa and Alaska though.

You're not alone, I really really hated it. Something about meta gags feels like nails down a chalkboard to me, they're so smug.

under normal circumstance i think it it may have been panned in here, however the name check resulted in a collective boner the strength of which made everyone feel 15 again.

i thought it was alright.

[Purple Toupee]

I was a bit bewildered by that at times but enjoyed it, some big laughs from the Miranda-ing joke and the montage bit. I usually don't like the sillier episodes as much but that was much better than the likes of Zanzibar and La Couchette.

Could have done without the meta 'lean' gag though, Limmy did it better.

I was getting strong Star Trek era Michael J Pollard vibes.
