Incorrect. Would you like another go?

That reminds me of the US Red Dwarf pilot.

Why actually try to think up an original idea when you can just redo an old idea and the plebs will eat it up anyway
>>
>>72014884
>>72014905
Not really. "Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" is way better writing than Big Bang Theory's typical "Well, tonight I'll be re soldering the motherframe of my Nintendo Sixty Fooour"

This, I've even seen documentaries where they even subtitle folks with a southern accent. It's strange to think that there might be people in this country who can't understand Texan or Louisiana accents.
>>
Is... that a zip drive on the desk corner.

What fucking year is this supposed to take place? Why would someone have a zip drive out sitting on a desk not connected to anything? Shit like that ruins shit like this for me.

All those fatty keyboards in the trash can... wtf is this shit?
>>
>>72013977
Thats how most UK shows are compared to US versions.

US studios are too interested in milking the cow until it dies I guess.
