Malcolm Tucker roasts Hugh Abbott outside the goldfish bowl

[TimmyThePlank]

I just love the 15 seconds!!

[Jacko032k]

I can make out this lot before Terri opens the door:

"Why the fuck didn't you talk to me you STUPID CUNT!! How the fuck am I supposed to do my job if I don't know what THE FUCK IS GOING ON!? You're a FUCKING PRICK!!"

wish I could understand the rest of it, absolutely frigging hilarious

[waitingforthesun27]

@Jacko032k haha Im scottish, I'l translate :)

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

I LOOOVE whenever they make Malcolm run somewhere, soooooo funny!!!!

[CapitalBhoy78]

MALCOLM TUCKER IS A FUCKING LEGEND

[martinwilliamrandall]

Chris Langhem is a comic genius, you feel so sorry for this down trodden losser friendless potrayl of a bad MP. The Thick Of It misses him. Let bygones be bygones & bring him back.

[dingleg06]

@martinwilliamrandall

Let bygones be bygones? As in having Child porn on his computer?

[martinwilliamrandall]

@dingleg06 Thats what I said, I dont believe he is a pervert, I dont believe he is a peadophile, I believe he did have alterior psychologigal, educational reasons for having it on his hard drive. I dont think it was for any sexual urges our fetish's. You shouldnt condemn people for the standards you live by. Just because you like watching child porn on your computer for a sexual thrill. Doesnt mean he would

[MsLadybones]

@martinwilliamrandall Sorry Martin, you might have a case, but the fact is that he paid for that child porn and is thus contributing to creating the demand for it and that is inexcusable.

[martinwilliamrandall]

@MsLadybones I know but barring Malcolm and Jamie he is still the best thing on the incredible THE THICK OF IT. He still hasnt been replaced in my eyes. Peter Mannios good but he's not Hugh

[thewalkingstickman1]

@dingleg06 and everyone else - sometimes you have to separate the man from his work.

[hearts76100]

BRILLIANT

[AHafan1]

0.27 "heh, mucking about..."

Malcolm deals the kind of abuse that would turn you inside out but he NEVER mucks about

[101101quintin101101]

mumble mumble mumble STUPID CUNT mumble mumble

[queenofallmonkeys]

angela, can i get you a fresh cup of coffee or um...or would you like some tea? no biscuits or anything? .... do let me know if you need anything.

[oooooooooorly]

The door opening followed by "YOU'RE A FUCKING PRICK!" is one of the most genius things I have ever seen.

[Forln]

This is pure genius.

[CHANNELOMD]

peado cunt

[youngian67]

The audience figures for this fantastic comedy are very low whereas My Family gets millions of viewers. I feel a smug moment coming.

[AHK909]

how does terry not get fucking sacked?

[TheRedGoldfish]

@AHK909 - cuz she is a civil servant and i think Human Resources can SOMEHOW keep them employed

[Brazilianairess]

@AHK909 She's got a contract! She's on the last chopper out of Saigon.

[ThesixthStroke]

Bring back Chris Langham, all is forgiven

[geraint0808]

Bring back Chris Langham!!

[almightyjass]

i can never truly enjoy this great programme again whenever i see the paedophile.

[gullivera]

"GEOUTAWAAY!!!"

[mozanerri]

`WHERE THE FUCK IS AY?!!!` thats the best bit

[FFSINEEDANAME]

hah terry is infuriating. Really awesome character, nails the 'i'm playing at mind games but not very well' trope really well xD

[nikolonian]

I wonder if Terry opened the door on purpose so that Angela could hear Malcolm ripping Hugh a new one-after all she's a civil servant and doesn't care who's in our out.

[JeramyTheGirl]

"we can be quite brutal to eachother, but were actually quite good friends"

Right Hugh .......

[t3hh0r53]

Blimey!

[128light]

I want a transcript of the whole "argument."

Brilliant office comedy. BTW ^^

[ajuk1]

He found the porn on his computer!

[brisso99]

Zing!

[thinnus]

You Stupid c@#t!

So simple but so effective

[eldisturbio]

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FCUK IS GOING ON". Lol.

[browncello]

"Getoutawaaay!"

[310396]

Without doubt one of the best, if not the best comedy for years. I think that it reflects the last two decades of political apathy in the UK that this didn't reach more people.

[bobzilla211]

i think a lot of people just didn't understand it. they had no idea all these jobs existed so for them it was like a big, sweary, confusing version of the office.

[starcalibre]

@310396 this show would've done better if it was simple and just portrayed all politicians as being useless fuckups. but it didn't. it showed them as human beings trapped by the maelstrom that is the tug of war between politics and the media hungry for a scoop. your average spartan blood and sand viewer couldn't hand that

[throwinghammer]

when the JoAnna Scanlan character opens the door and asks an innocuous question, unconcerned that it exposes the rant, and eventually "Malcolm" covers his mouth....

[hackum1]

brilliant

[anonUK]

Compared to that thing with Boycie and Marlene, My Family is a comedy masterpiece. Come to think of it, in comparison to that piece of rubbish, staring at my toenails is gripping entertainment. Why the BBC ever made that, Lord knows.

[ANormalmanProduction]

"Where the FUCK is he?" "He's in the goldfish bowl" Sounds hilarious to me every time.

Oh and the way that interviewer says "blime" is hot.

[TaliaAkhtar]

Why don't more people watch this?! It's absolute GENIUS - and that's an understatement.

[youngian67]

The reason more people do not watch this is that the world is a very unfair and unjust place full of war, injustice and muppets who find My Family and that thing with Boycie and Marlene funny.

[ady24]

i can watch all 6 and the specials over and over....best comedy in a long time....under rated.

[dtsfangirl]

0:13 lol hahahaha

[elb98rm]

I wish i could hear the actual rant from outside...

[mattd486]

@elb98rm I don't know man, somehow I think the fact that we can't hear everything he's saying lets us fill in the gaps for ourselves, which makes it all the better. We all know the Malcom Tucker character well enough to be able to sort the finer points out at least! It helps if you remember what they're arguing about - that Hugh was supposed to have sold the flat that he's not really using, and hasn't, and Angela's about to tell the Mail...

[Semprini89]

Malcom running places is genius

[swtwc]

The way she says 'blimey' is rather sexy, actually.

[davidure67]

I agree. The coy look away and the "blimey" are very appealing.

[AmelieYvette]

Which episode is this from?

[Sobbeh]

3, I think

[PrivateWierzbowski]

Episode 3 of 6.

[AmelieYvette]

Does he scream Stupid Cunt at him?

[Sobbeh]

yup

[AmelieYvette]

Awesome :-)

[edaines]

blatantly

[BrummieAvenger]

I can't believe I didn't get into this series earlier, it's hilarious.

Plus Armando Iannucci is a comedy hero of mine.

[jodibjodi]

Thats how to deal with staff

[Grantwebb13]

I'm now a dedicated follower of Malcolm Tucker!

[Carfer22]

Everyone should be! The Guv'nor!!!

[tombigglestone]

by far

[TulseLuper]

Best Thick of It scene ever.
