I’m being deliberately indirect, hoping to stay within the rules, but the recent Private Eye video about the daleks and the BBC is brilliant. Should be easy enough to find if you want to.

Mods, feel free to delete if I’ve been insufficiently obscure.

@Matt haha. I enjoyed how much time JP spent on his knees

Anyoone catch the new Chapelle special after the Paul v Joshua fight last night?

I need to go back and watch it again, but my initial impression wasn’t great.

I tried to watch it last night, and I kept falling asleep. I wasn’t especially tired. I flat out couldn’t get through it. Maybe he’s jumped the shark Sometimes a band you really like puts out an uninteresting album. Maybe it’s that.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 yeah. I felt the same way. Kinda felt like the special was just slapped together on the quick.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle On the flip side I’m really enjoying the new Robby Hoffman special…Wake Up. It was directed by John Mulaney.

[Matt]

I scrolled past… is it good?

[Jett129]

@Matt I thought it was really great. New meaning to edgy. I think I’m pretty hard on comedians and I thought she was brilliant. Raunchy without being vulgar. Let me know what you think.

I can’t believe no one upvoted this. I thought it was hilarious.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt I upvoted now because there’s layers to this joke

[sabergirl]

I will admit, I don’t get it

[Tago Mago]

@sabergirl Oedipus‘ mother is called Jokasta

[sabergirl]

Aha! I had forgotten that. Thanks

[Matt]

I brake for Joe Mama jokes.

[Matt]

Even without the Jocasta it works as a Joe Mama joke.

Who the f knows that?

[Tago Mago]

@steelworker 5 years Ancient Greek at school, including for finals. I translated Oedipus by Sophokles in class

@ARNC we have complained to the BBC and tried to take it upstairs, but the lifts don’t work.

Brilliant.

[ARNC]

@NickD and that’s probably the only line that’s safe to mention on here!

[NickD]

@ARNC I picked it carefully.

Im sorry you were subjected to this treatment.
. Five years seems an excessive sentence.
However Im not surprised you know this.
Im surprised @matt knows this and knows it well enough to pun. In Greek.
And you call yourself an American.
For shame, Matt! For shame!
Or Shane. Either way.
