we are face 2 face selling and door 2 door sales full time which no other promotion has done.

Especially not during a pandemic.

At any mention of Dynamite Kid's name, my mum still brings up that bit in SummerSlam 88 when, laying exhausted on the mat from a 20 minute match against the Rougeaus, he immediately jumps up looking furious ("WOT?!") when it's announced as a time limit draw.

He's obviously lashing out, like he has been in videos like this for years, so who knows if he's actually been kicked off? I'd assume it's more 'kicked off set' than removed and cut from the film. Jackass 3 was a dry set, because of Steve-O's issues, so if he missed or refused a test, I'd imagine it's in the contract that he has to be removed.

He posted another update today about seeing a bi-polar specialist, and walking back the anger at the rest of the cast. At this point, it's hard to see him getting clean, sadly, unless he completely changes the way he's always lived. In that first video, he talks about the great friends he's made, but the rest of his Instagram's filled with these terrible, never-ending parties, where they're obviously all just leeching off him; big Celebrity house filled with skaters and people dozing in filth, music blaring, daring each other to eat stuff off the floor and nobody wearing a mask (he's a Covid denier), like it's still 1999, except Bam's now the age Phil was when he was beating on him in those first Jackass skits.

Ricky Downtown!

Never seen this before. Live and Kicking cut to Mr. Blobby, only to catch him rehearshing, out of costume.

What's she up to these days, retired from wrestling some time back if I remember right. 

Posting anti-mask videos last I saw.

It's not that surprising is it? I think we're probably the last generation who grew up knowing people who lived through one or two World Wars. Military service is beyond heroic to those people and is ingrained in society.

There was definitely way more of a swing towards that attitude after 911. Less so over here, but certainly in the US, where all that "thank you for your service!" bowing and scraping wasn't a thing until then, and soldiers had been viewed in more of a lunkheaded "here's what you sign up to when you drop out of school" way. I'm struggling to remember how it was in Britain pre-Sept 11th, but I'm sure the army obsessed people were more of a jokey archetype, like Gareth in The Office always going on about the TAs. It wasn't until the Wootton Bassett lot started getting in the news showing maximum respect to the Brave Coffins coming back from Afghanistan that Poppymania began, and you became a traitor to your country if you didn't consider the armed forces walking Gods keeping us smelly, cowardly civilians safe from foreigns.

I like this one of the time he got weirded out in a Q&A by a question submitted by some joker.

Bring back National Service just for Keith imo

Hope Fatty and Plug haven't taken it too hard.

Got to the last season of The Office in my rewatch, and I was completely blindsided by this bit at 20-43 seconds in the clip, where Toby is enjoying Movember.

I bet some monster who did a SBTB book will take advantage of this  if not I’ll be disappointed. 

I'll not actively court it, because I fear he'll haunt me (and it's as much as I deserve), but I have already seen a bump in sales.

The sole thing that allowed me to financially survive the first couple of months of Lockdown 1 was the royalties for all the books about Derek Acorah being a mad old fraud I sold on the week that he died. I'm an actual ghoul.

NBC Peacock is a bloody stupid name.

It probably seems less stupid in the US. As it's been their logo for decades, Peacock is effectively NBC's nickname, like the equivalent of Auntie Beeb to the BBC.

I've been rewatching The Office too, and it's incredible how densely packed with gags it is. My three all-time favourites are when Dwight accidentally calls Phyllis "phallus" after she gets flashed, and these two bits.

So... there's a figure in the shops that also contains the loose legs, crotch and arse of Paul Ellering?

Millard stooping to new lows

 

Absolutely dying at this video of your girlfriend's embarrassing incel younger brother who's got a sword on his bedroom wall Val Venis puffing out weed smoke with a Joker filter on his face and saying "taxation is theft" in a Joker voice.

Also, was the The Actor Kevin Eldon taking part in that horrific song that I don’t want to name

Absolutely not.

Rod Hull had one joke, but by Christ, he really perfected it. He must've got out of bed every morning like Mick Foley, as the bumps he took on those hard studio floors were insane. There was one on Bruce Forsyth's Big Night, a full front flip onto his back over a set of steps, where he was millimetres from breaking his neck.

Jim's false advertising really helped shift the copies in the barren days when porn was illegal. The women from Sinderella I and II's covers weren't even in it, let alone getting anything out, and nobody's managing a wank over these. I think Mike Reid's Pussy in Boots had actual bare knockers in it though.

That was great @Astro Hollywood.

I'm embarassed to say there was a period during my teens that I found Jim Davidson funny and even got one of his VHS standup tapes for Christmas. Fuck knows what I was thinking, horrendous.

Don't feel too bad, I think there was some sort of national hypnosis going on. Prime time Saturday nights, and a Jim Davidson comedy snooker quiz ran for 222 episodes. Maybe they were putting something in the water.
