GOAT comedy
>>63292171
Darkplace is the most significant sitcom I've ever seen and I've watched with Two Pints of Lager and four other sitcoms. So, we're talking creme de la creme.
>>63292171
You and he were buddies, weren't you?
>>63292333

>>63292488
that's the mother rick!
Is it just a rumor or did Syfy really play Darkplace thinking it was a legit show from the 80's?

watched the first episode but the soundtrack was too grating, albeit intentionally. I'll probably get around to the rest of them at some point

Amir Chanan was the best guest.

Not since it aired, i dont remember anything about it other than it featured Richard Ayoade a bit.
>>63293237
The short skits he's done with Bob Mortimer for the Beeb are solid gold too.
This show is so fucking amazing. Shame it was only 1 series and only available in horrid quality on Youtube or Bong-region DVD.
>>63293799
I'm of the opposite mind. I'd rather they knew when to end it. Now we're left with six incredible episodes.
The commentary was amazing too. They did it in character.
>>63294048
Wow, thanks for mentioning this.
>tfw the entire cast appeared on the IT Crowd except Garth
I wonder what happened between them.
>>63294274
To be fair, he had the better "tech guy" character in that one scene in The Office than anything in IT Crowd.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR METHODS ARE ORTHODOX.
We'd seen a new side to Liz. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. They can get upset at the slightest thing: whether it's forgetting to acknowledge them in front of your friends or dividing a restaurant bill in proportion to the amount of food ordered by each party, which is only fair. I had to change. Tomorrow I'd tell her she's lost weight or I like what she's done to her hair. Whichever seemed the most plausible.

Funny.
One of the main reasons I went into medicine was for the laughs. That and the pussy, and that dried up ten year ago if you pardon the expression.

I love Scotland. You know, I’ll take the high road, I’ll take the low road… I think both are valid.

Are we talking about the normal interviews intercut with the show or was there more commentary?
>>63292488
Sometimes, he'll come in at an angle. Other times, he can hover, then swoop. Sometimes he can even come in from beneath, like a worm, or mole. The Lord, it's his call how he chooses to manoeuvre.
>>63295850
There were commentary tracks on the episodes.
Everybody but Liz. In-character.
Pure gold.

Bitch Killer is /tv/'s favorite movie.
Ock! Kill. Dagless. Mon.
>>63295257
This thread inspired me to rewatch the series, and I'd forgotten about how Liz acts when she arrives in the hospital. Carefully maneuvering towards her marks and then completely flubbing her pose, I love it, fantastic work.
>>63292171

Neat.

>region free dvd player. about 60 bucks. good investment, t.b.h.f.a.m.then you can get the darkplace/man to man with dean learner dvd combo pack
I remember the radio adverts for this show.
They had Liz's brother on asking people to watch because he would get money to help look for his missing sister.

AS here. And I'd already given up on anything live action there.
Don't know what it was about this that made me watch, but instantly hooked.
Liz, hide your shame

A couple of years ago a friend and I stumbled upon it on Netflix. We laughed but were utterly baffled by what we witnessed. Naturally we watched the whole series in short order.

Bitch Killer captured the exploitation spirit better than Machete, Hobo with a Shotgun or any other le epic badxD parody.
what's a gag you didn't get until the 2nd time watching? pic related
Darkplace made me allergic to bad ADR in everything else. Now, it's impossible to ignore anymore.
>>63294998
love that lineUH HUH! BYE!
Got introduced to this show at the start of the year by my recently ex'd girlfriend. Was probably the funniest and most unique show I've ever watched.
I went to watch it recently but couldn't get through the first episode because it reminded me of her laugh and smile.
>>63298480
?!
That's the actual quote from King Lear
>>63298982
>page 46
>>63298982
>pg 42
He just bought a random copy and doesn't know how to quote lines from plays (or manuscripts) which is funny as he writes scripts
>>63299008
Oooohhhhh
Okay, I get it now
>>63298801
IKTF. This is why I don't share anything important to me like that with girls I've been with less than a year.
>>63298480
Only just now I realized the hidden joke in the opening and closing credits: Garth doesn't know that Dean credited himself as co-creator. Look at the opening card, where it says
>Garth Marenghi
>&
>Dean Learner
>Presents
And, at the end
>Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a Garth Marenghi production
>InAssociationWithDeanLearner
Dean showed Garth versions with his credits cut out, and then added them back in before the show was in the can.
>>63292171
the intro is pretty simular to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggWS4tTzs60
the movie is really bad
>>63299324
Good god the amount of coke that went into the making of that. King is fucking coked out of his skull.
>>63299324
Well, that explains a lot.
The show, in turn, is based on this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo2rIt3xKpk
>This episode is really about my own desire to have a son, um, I have four daughters, and, whilst I don't blame them as such, I don't really feel they're on my side.
>He had a very ambitious script. I said: "Garth, this is a very ambitious script for the money we've got. Seeing as we've got no money, it's extremely ambitious." We were filming it in my garage. I had a big garage, but still it was ambitious to film a TV show in a garage.
