Banter RDT 163 - More of a Comment, Really

[Dazzler9]

Extras is so ******* good. I know some people think Gervais is a campaigner but the Office, Extras and Ricky Gervais Show (the HBO version) are three of the most bingeworthy shows in history.

The Ricky Gervais Show was really the Karl Pilkington Show, in cartoon form. Genius in its simplicity, and only an actual show as an afterthought.

The best form of that content is via the XFM Radio Show archives, which can be hard to find.

Most of the stories that made the podcast, and then the animated show originated as natural conversations from the radio show

Yep, which is what made them so great. It wasn't scripted, it was all natural. Just Karl's ridiculous skew on things, and Ricky's (to a lesser extent Steve's) reaction to it.

Merchant had a sitcom of his own that didn't do all that well didn't he ?

Yeah jokes aside, I think the two of them combined are better than the sum of their parts

Which is why that sitcom with Wawrick Davis which was a terrible bomb surprised me soo much.

It had its moments though. The scene with Liam Neeson is all time.

I don't see why people not liking Gervais would stop them liking Stephen Merchants shows.

Defo, anything he's done without Merchant sucks.

Yes Ricky, God isn't real, very good stuff.

I can't think of Gervais these days without thinking of James Acaster's joke about him

Several RDT's ago I asked for suggestions for Mid-strength beers, had some good ones including Colonial and Rogers.

Not sure what others think of the Asahi mid but I'm a bit of a fan

Counterpoint - don’t murder people with your car and then claim it’s transphobic to point out a murderer murdered someone with their car, gender of the known murderer notwithstanding.

Around these parts? I think you do

Haha, I didn't tag you for a reason

And yet, Japanese food is elite

Nothing like a 6 pack of Asahi with chicken katsu bento box followed by some matcha icecream.

Imma stop you right there.

Karaage chicken with spicy kewpie

 

[DanWCE]

If you're ever in Mandurah, Taku Japanese Kitchen is worth a visit for their spicy tori Kara alone. Their servings are ridiculous too.

Kirin > Asahi

Although both are good beers (Sorry DanWCE)

They are both good beers for meals or just to have after 4 craft beers to keep kicking on. Easy drinking and refreshing.

I was waiting for it

Agreed.

Although I will drink any beer except for Becks and Crownies.

Foul drops.

I don't know what they put in Becks but it gives me a worse headache than Pfizer jab 2 side effects.

Need to have it with a DQP meal.
