Black Books

[phantomXofXtheXMCR]

I ran into a bookshop asking for the 'Little Book of Calm' yesterday, and nobody got the joke. Le-sigh.

[S0RREN]

I was trying to watch all series of south park online. But it just dont work. I must break it and watch some more Black Books I NEED BRITISH HUMOR! Comedy central is great but IT crowd... Monty Python... You cannot live without them

[jesseklaus]

Let go once in a while,

You are a loose lilly floating down

an amber river.

Sorry! I hate my job!

I am always reminded of this when i go to work!

It reminds me not to take it all to seriously!!!

[eleanorsea]

It's more irish humour, written by irish writers, and starring the fantastic Dylan Moran- but the combination of Irish and English humour together is great.

[clerkin74]

The best serial on the world :D:D:D:D

[ribesnero]

Bernard is AMAZING!! XD

[rise54321]

Such a good show... From a simple Texan's perspective, its better than most American shows could ever be. Only thing better would be a fourth series.

[LJAXD]

They're real dickens.

[jrcorperated]

i dont know what any of you are winging about but this clip brings laughter! kwitchabitchn and smile.... try the little book of calm :)

[k8iidevro]

fucking amazing show! xx

[noobie112]

~The History Of Screaming~  ~By Edvard Munch~

[pottapuppetpalz]

I gave my sis the little book of calm for her birthday XD

[TwilightCrazedEC]

I have the little book of calm! hehe I love Dylan Moran.

[AuthentiWolf]

[ ON PHONE. ]

[shepshepshep]

Brilliant from start to end, bring it back Channel 4 the world was a nicer place with it.

[JackJoseph00]

Are they leather bound pounds?

[xboxbloke8]

THE HISTORY OF SCREAMING LMFAO!!!!!

[Scoggy999]

This series has everything. Wonderful.

Tamsin Greg....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmm.

[Holdmeneverletgo]

Watched this in a lessonand I doubted at first but now I love it!

[superant92]

THIS SHOW SUCKS!!!!!!!! :] in regards of nia

[Chocasrox111]

the little book of clam.....yer....lol

[MadMac132]

lol, great comedy.

n btw to the ealier comments, none of ireland is part of britain.

[jrathbone]

depends on what you count as ireland, the country or the island, because northern ireland is part of britain

[TheAnxiousMan]

Northern Ireland is obviously part of Britain. Every fucker knows that.

[PJHoutman]

No, it's not. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. Great Britain is just England, Wales and Scotland.

[TheAnxiousMan]

What's the British Isles then? And what about Britain, without GReat in front of it?

[PJHoutman]

The British Isles and Great Britain both refer to England, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Wight, Man, Jersey, Guernsey.

Britannia was the name given to the land by the Romans. It referred (Wikipedia) to an area covering most of Wales and England and a part of Southern Scotland.

There is no way, however, that (Northern) falls under this toponymy.

[TheAnxiousMan]

Next you'll be saying that Wlaes is a country.

[KHlovechild]

It is. Are you, erm, American?

[mariusvn]

That's correct. Britain + Northern Ireland forms the UK.

[soroland1]

Are you either thick cause you dont know that britain and great britain is the same thing or are you saying that great britain isnt great cause if your saying that go and die in a hole cause britain is the best place int eh world and it alwasy will b!!!

[ashburnhouse]

After the empire, Britain took a turn for the worst. You guys did things like Radiohead and rave Euro trash Zadie Smith...blah blah: England sucks compared to Paris.

[MadMac132]

britain and great britain are the same thing, great britain and the UK ARE NOT.

the full name of our country is 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain ANNNND Nothern Ireland', and includes the constitutional countries england scotland wales (which are britain) AND northern island.

ireland is ireland, made up of the republic of ireland and northern ireland. northern ireland is still ireland, not britain. it is however part of the uk.

get your facts straight before insulting me.

[patrickcorliss]

@MadMac132

Secondly, in 1975 the government affirmed that the term Britain, not Great Britain, could be used as a shortened form of the United Kingdom. It looks like they wanted the term British to refer to all citizens of the United Kingdom namely the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish (see Wikipedia).

[patrickcorliss]

@MadMac132

You're right but there are two complications. Geographically the term Great Britain refers to the large island comprising England, Scotland and Wales.

However, politically these three countries include smaller islands such as the Isle of Wight, Scilly Isles and Hebrides (but not the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands which are self-governing).

[dadsarmyfrules]

its a lighter

[wowiejunior]

so waht does that ball really do? please hit reply i really wanna know

[ktno1]

It's a cigarette lighter.

[CDA268]

[macarony123]

[Teatimesan]

:x Sorry, didn't see your sorry!

[kingsand109]

sorry i thought u said all of ireland. so i marked my comment as spam

[kingsand109]

such a copy of fawlty towers

[DMeadows81]

Both Black Books and Fawlty Towers show UK customer service at its finest. Anyone who has had to deal with customers in their job can relate to Bernard or Basil with great ease. They were my idols.

[Teatimesan]

Yeah, good point, it's a copy, a copy of Fawlty Towers, and off real people who are lazy and antagonisitic. Why stop there, it's a copy of real life really ain't it?

[amnesiacsmuzak]

i love when he gets the broom out...<3 bernard, he's hilarious!

[ironmanalasdair]

'I do sell a lot of wank, don't I...'

ROFL!

[spamalottis]

TOTALLY LOVE BRITISH HUMOR

[Baldrickoo]

;D Irish humour lol... Well I'm pretty sure Dylan writes most of it.... -_- I forgotten oh well, he might do but don't take my word for it, OH and check Dylan Moran's stand up its really funny.

[dislexicdwarf99]

Think about it gramham linehan worked on this with dylan and on father ted with dermot morgan. Both giants of IRISH comedy!

[Baldrickoo]

thanks for clearing that one up lol

[Teatimesan]

Think about it, probably written by the Irish in/from the part of Ireland that's part of Britain.

[kingsand109]

irelands not part of britain northen ireland is .we kicked ur ass in 1922. we broke away then.shut up

[Teatimesan]

I'll say it again; "by the Irish in/from the PART of Ireland that's part of Britain."

[swampman]

Fuck, I worked in a Hi Fi store and was the same shit I had to stand!

[bump1017]

lol i have the little book of calm XD

[xgrundieheadx]

I love bill bailey!!!!!

has anyone seen his BEWILDERNESS show that he did about a year ago

it was SO funny

[thetimejuru]

half neagro half flumuch full barsted

[Notawesomeatall7]

Dylan Moran is my hardcore boyfriend.

[FireEmerald7]

Love Bill Bailey, especially in this episode and when he poses as a cop :P

And the way he runs!

[blahpoor]

Funniest thing that i have ever seen.

[gjfdgfjldgdfghfh]

Hi folks.I'm doing small public opinion poll. I have one request for people who know tv serials IT CROWD and BLACK BOOKS. In your opinion, which is better? Please, send your answer on my channel, THX.

[rainebetts11]

Black books owns everything.

[Voksuten]

They are equal, but i hear IT Crowd is going under American production for the next season replacing Jen and Roy.

[qualifiedchocoholic]

yay! i love dylan moran! hes so extremely awsome! xoxoxox

[charchy4]

I often stick notes on my head saying ON PHONE

At least then people know not to disturb me!!

[jakiao]

The fact that I've had to begin giving students lower grades on assignments because "2" is "to" and "you" is "u" means that grammar lessons on the Internet are a wonderful thing.

If you think talking shorthand on the Internet doesn't matter because people spell correctly in the real world, then you're a fool.

[dcapacitor]

yea g i no wot u tlkn bt a? i dwn wif it 2 foo' l8z bro

[welshdevondragon]

It must have taken you longer to work out how to say that in textspeak than it would've taken to type it out in full.

[hotfuss84]

What's with all the grammar lessons on youtube of late?

This is the internet. Chill the fuck out.

[jeepershorton]

The Adventures of Jeepers Horton is another black book, mad dangerous, don't let your kids read it. Crazy inflammatory.

[bagOFcrap]

black books is one of the best tv series EVER!

[Flowbee79]

Dylan Moran (as you might remember him as the jerk from Shaun of the Dead) has an upcoming supportive role in the Simon Pegg comedy "Run, Fat Boy, Run", as Pegg's close friend.

[Flowbee79]

Yeah, don't mistake an Irish person for a British person. Unless you're in Northern Ireland and they account themselves as British there, don't be too presumptive.

[Flowbee79]

Very funny show. Had me laughing so hard the first time I saw it. I love BBC America. Not only do they have great shows, comedy, drama, mystery, docs, but their news is real, honest-to-God news. Yes, the talk about celeb news, but only about 10% of the amount that American News stations like CNN, MSNBC and FAUX News, seperately. They actually spend more time reporting about stuff that affects world events and national events.

[breakingthehabit2008]

LOL

[benmakinen]

And yet Pulitzer Prize winning author Ernest Hemingway began sentences with conjunctions. But Hemingway wasn't Irish, British, or English was he?

[Dalbert342]

Hemingway was a American

[matt2292]

i expect better service!!! well expect away!!! HAHAHAHA class

[rambo180]

is it free?

[firestarterman]

funniest think ever

[rambo180]

what do u mean? it is a good think? pardon?

[PingPong57]

don't be a tosser rambo

[rambo180]

oh you think its a good "thing" right. sorry i still thought they taught english at school these days. my mistake.

[ClaraLaraBombara]

Oh dear! It seems rambo180 has forgotten the use of capital letters...how uterly distressing!

I thought they still taught English at school these days.

FAGGOT! get a life and chillax the cax! stop startin fights!

[FireEmerald7]

Oh dear! It seems rambo180 has forgotten the use of capital letters...

FAGGOT! get a life and chillax the cax! stop startin fights!

Notice how there are no proper capitals in that last paragraph?

Dickhead.

[RavenMind]

Hear Hear to bigboybenny6!

English/British comedy is teh sex!

Especially with Dylan Moore! XD

But I love American sitcoms too...
