S3E26: Johnny English [LIVE]

I believe I can speak for all Australians when I say that we love all Mendo impressions and Dev's was charming and fun.

"not to get too pretentious" why do you think were here

It was interesting watching Jonathan Ashworth repeat Sauvage's speech word for word on Good Morning Britain after the election.

I regret to inform you about Kevin Mcnally’s twitter likes

Advocating for the self exit of Jeremy Clarkson isn't a good move. He should be donated still-living to medical science.

Gotta say you all are looking *great* in the episode art for this one

I grew up on Inspector Gadget and loved Get Smart, the Pink Panther, and even The Man Who Knew Too Little, so this seemed like it would be right up my alley. Didn't really like Mr. Bean, but surely this would be mostly a Blackadder type character, so I wasn't too worried there. I wasn't very critical with my movie watching back then but I do remember being disappointed and wishing they could be consistent about whether he's incompetent or not.

I watched it at the time, and literally the only thing I remember is some joke about a "poo tube."

Sadly I couldn’t make it to any of the nights, so I’m patiently waiting for the VOD

Watching the movie in preparation for the podcast. I'm halfway through and my god, is it dogshit. It makes Austin Powers look like Hamlet.

I think Rowan Atkinson grew up with a stutter and couldn’t pronounce the letter “b” very well but found it easier to overcome his speech impediment by hitting it really hard. Maybe that’s why his power-bottom is named Bough?

Ok but the thumbnail. i get that there's foreshortening happening and the angle of the shot makes it worse but Devon looks enormous

Purvis Andwade sounds like the Linnaean name for a nonce

I just realized that Glinner stole the "descibing a strange looking guy but he ends up being real" joke for IT Crowd lmao.

Did November make a Half Man Half Biscuit reference?

Need you 3 to watch Mars attacks feat pierce brosnan

Boff is just Xanthias from The Frogs

There are two things Mike Meyers and Rowan Atkinson have in common: they are the funniest people on earth if you are a 13 year old boy, and they both think they themselves are the funniest people ever

November in the thumbnail is giving me Lindsay Ellis Mixed With An English School Teacher vibes lol

I do very briefly need to defend my semi-beloved union to say that the PCS is not affiliated with Labour (most of the organisations PCS has branches in aren't allowed to be politically affiliated which is at this point an advantage). Edit: unless you mean the internal PCS factions which are honestly quite messy.

A Power Bough does imply the possibility of a Duke of Boughendy situation

The only three people in the entire world who could make a Buford Dolphin joke and have it land.

Oh 1:21:00 reminds me I went to Epcot for my honeymoon in 2018. There's the world display where, for instance, you go to the France section of Epcot, and there are actual French nationals working there. Ditto norway, japan, china. We went to the UK section, and there was an Indian woman there. As in, her name tag read "India", not the UK.

Can’t deny, slightly giggling each time “Bough” is called “Buff”

November looks like Terri Coverly from The Thick Of It in this lmao

mummy and mummy and themmy ♥️

'Coward'? I'll have you know I did bravely did battle with weird train timetables and shitty hotel wifi each night!

Speaking of Penn & Teller: Penn Jillette recently publicly renounced right-libertarianism after 30ish years of pushing it, because he was asked to headline an anti-mask rally, and realized that that didn't match libertarian principles and was just kind of reactionary

ah the mythical "first movie" of a trilogy, how curious

Hey the audio cutting out should be fixed now.

Seems like there’s some problems in the edit, the audio will cut out for a few seconds at a time, twice up to the 10 minute mark

"Ah, the heckle-"
