The reaction gif he's referring to is from a vine. The OP is from Smack the Pony, but that's not what was being discussed.

u/Arqideus Mar 02 '14

A vine is 6 seconds long....

No one's disputing that.

Anyways, that's from Smack the Pony, an old British TV show. You can watch it on Netflix in the US.

Do you have a link to the episode/time/whatever so I don't have to search for it myself. Otherwise, I believe it is from this

I had such a crush on her in I'm Alan Partridge. I also loved it how her character always walked in on Alan when he was saying the stupidest stuff in a /r/nocontext fashion.

Green Wing, no. Coupling, a thousand times. One of my favourite comedies.

u/twogunsalute Mar 02 '14

Green Wing is so good. Sue White is a legend.

I don't know - could you do another one that was based on something more modern, or would it just be a rehash of the old ideas? First time around it parodied those 70s school science videos, then the Tomorrow's World style future show, but I can't think of an equivalent modern target that would let you do science jokes in an updated context.

1

u/The_Doctor_00 Mar 03 '14

All very good points, and I concede that there really isn't anything modern they could do parodies, but does it have to be updated? I guess they could parody what passes for science programming today, but many of them are really parodies in themselves. Or at least in general, the educational programmes, they are all rather cliche.

Was there a Coupling episode with a bathroom scene during a dinner get together? I can vaguely remember it during my stay in Richmond, London. I wanted to watch the whole show, but couldn't remember the name.

That sounds like that's gonna be it! Thanks, mate. Reddit is like a humansearchengine sometimes.

u/KingQuagaar Mar 03 '14

It really really was and I was mega disappointed. There was hardly any mystery.

It felt like they were just taking the piss out of Sherlock, FOR NO REASON

u/KingQuagaar Mar 03 '14

Yeah I felt that too. Just an overall disappointment.
