Sean Connery Joke Thread (Vol 8)
Discussion
In the aftermath of charges being laid against Mike Flynn, President Trump has accused the FBI of "Fake news."
It is understood that he toned down the original response suggested by his Special Advisor which was "Ложь предательских ублюдков!"
( to save you the trouble , that translates as "The lies of the treacherous bds!" )

BBC would never run anything so risque these days
BBC comedy (most UK TV comedy, to be fair) has become so bloody formulaic and predictable. Do people REALLY not want to have to think about a joke anymore, or be surprised* by something?!? Or is it the programme planners that don't want to take any risks and can't see beyond the surface zeitgeist.
* No, I'm not talking Jimmy Carr gutter-level shock-humour.

I know it’s a bit ‘marmite’, but I found Mrs Browns Boys great for good ol’ fashioned humour. Gets a bit blue at points, but there’s some very clever copying of cheesy 1970's sitcoms in it, especially earlier episodes.
EFA.(For clarity, if you ask me it's godawful sh'te aimed at the lowest common denominator. Have been exposed to enough of it when we visit my parents...can't believe this is the same comedy department that broadcast the likes of Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Red Dwarf and Blackadder)

Indeed. We were recommended "Motherland" by friends (we've got a young child), so we watched the first episode a few days ago and afterwards went "meh" - we were both utterly underwhelmed by something that's apparently getting rave reviews.
The pilot was quite funny, but the series hasn't lived up to it, sadly. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
