@izeyb0i you're an idiot.

[izeyb0i]

@lukethepoo you're a barrel of laughs

[curbdancer2002]

Dean's acting is like a mentally retarded person on a drum kit? hahaha awesome

[absolutelyfree1963]

One of the most fucking appaling (and also funny) examples of pommie TV humour. Loved it.

The best (my fave) was "Scotch Mist".... (I have friends who are Scots, one from Glasgow).

LOL You can hear Richard Ayoade sniggering at 11:59, to be fair I was crying with laughter by that point so Well done to him for keeping it in :)

[intheTea04]

"...looked like a fucking raven, near enough". LMAO!!!!

[guapotomask]

Sooooo good

[whowantsabighug]

I love how you can slightly hear the crew hiding laughter in the background.

[IAmAndrewFord]

Who are these worthless gay clowns...never mind, they suck too much anyways.

[LemonZeppelin]

@IAmAndrewFord It's called satire, genius. This is from Darkplace, a TV show where the actors are playing actors in a fictitious TV show. If that makes sense.

[IAmAndrewFord]

@LemonZeppelin My point was that they suck not what they are acting as genius... They are "pissing in the wind".

[naruto00nix]

@IAmAndrewFord haha u dont seem to get this at all

[absolutelyfree1963]

@IAmAndrewFord There was a serial "horror" called the Kingdom (Danish TV I think).

Garth MArenghi's Darkplace is a parody of The Kingdom. BUT the actors PLAY actors and a moronic pulp fiction author (who are really fucked, a bit suss in their sexual orientation and attitudes and very pretentious). Together these three useless people (with a bit of cute skirt called Liz) run a hospital where portals to Hell and other horror themes are plotlines.

It is meant to be bad... (satire / parody).

[galti111]

Never seen as brilliant a critique on those godawful soap operas as this!

[videowilliams]

Great to have that famous "You and he were buddies, weren't you?" line so well deconstructed. Truly Shakespeare for our time.

[Jagsta2733]

I don't care what anyone says, this is definitely 'How TO act'

[Whovian92]

truer words were never spoken again

[bingefeller]

I don't see Garth as an actor, he can act ... but I see him more as a dreamweaver.

[dazman76]

Thanks for uploading :) I bagged the Dark Place DVD as soon as it was released, and I've watched it far too many times since then! I love this kind of stuff - in fact, I'm off to watch the first episode again now :) lol. Thornton and his shotgun make me chuckle every time...

[davidiainmcmahon]

The best thing about this is I got most of the stuff he's talking about in lectures on my theatre course. I feel like such a wank looking back at it now.

[tommy98000]

'anyone from star trek really....NO' lollololoolol

[ArcanePath360]

I know exactly what he means about East Enders. It's a blight on our nation.

[nebnotlob1]

"DEAN!"
