Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Episode 5 Part 1

[reonat]

It managed to bridge the gap between AAAH and oooo...

[Kriegtime101]

Love that fucking car!

[clubfootbadger]

I beg your pudding

[hadoken130]

hehe awesome american accent

[ericthepace]

Its not the 1980's. Episode one, Garth Merenghi says the 1990's

[heliogabalus227]

3:27 Sanch dance ftw.

[eviltoyboxfilms]

I love how the team's job is so varied, that they go from patient wards to crime scenes for no discernable reason :P

[Hearsticles]

There was something about this mist.

What, though?

I haven't the foggiest.

[robotempires]

Thumbs up if you'd like this show even if it wasn't being ironic.

[batman53092]

Great joke dag

[RotaryPoweredRX]

@batman53092 Cheers, I thought of it in the car.

[jareid2507]

there was something about this mist... what? I hadn't the foggiest.

[marshalle1026]

I love how the opening musical theme for this episode is an obvious rip off of the "Halloween" Theme.

[VenomShock]

@marshalle1026 Hahahaha, same here. I just came online to see if other people were discussing it.

[MatthewBerryMusic]

3:45 - 3:56 hahahahahahahahahha

[MIsguidedarCHAngEL]

I beg your pudding?

[LemonTree9280]

I Lose it, everytime when he flips with the baby as in the ambulance explodes in the opening. every. time. Jebus

[ANOMALOUS2305]

"That's the phone"

[BuyAFrame]

That shot in the credits of the truck blowing up as he jumps with the baby gets me every time. Laughing out loud EACH. TIME. The show could end there and I'd be a fan.

[MooseEatBrains]

"Garth Marenghi? Isn't he that guy who writes all that horror crap? Well, good luck to you because you're an idiot."

So good.

[edosala]

POV shot and music inspired by Carpenter and Argento's "Deep Red". These guys really know what they're talking about.

P.S.

3 people don't have a sense of humour!!!

[AppleFlavoredCyanide]

Rofl the very first sentence of the reading... makes me giggle.

[yousmellfunnybro]

i sincerely hope your disturbed... love it

[EddieHawkinsII]

2:17 - Did this actually appear in any episode?

3:28 - Wonder why this dance never caught on? Pus, Dag on the sax is priceless.

5:36 - The awesome love child of K.I.T.T. and a golf cart.

7:15 - Dunno, to kill Marenghi for utterly ripping off "The Fog"?

7:53 - A gag which would still be genuinely funny in a competent show. (Yes, I know it's supposed to be bad, just saying...) Also, I want Reed's suit.

[Red7StandingBy]

beginning music plus Sanch dancing=hilarious

[WillisProvidence]

i can't help feeling that this is ostensibly a parody of twin peaks sometimes

[jella11]

I love how all those sounds a so obviously dubbed.

[BlueLightSpecial90]

God the synth theme is so hardcore.

[MordaciousFilms]

The music during the POV shot at the start sounds like the theme from "Halloween". Brilliant.

[rbrbran277]

This episode gives me daymares.

[meshumekha]

I could see Matthew Holness and Julian Barratt getting along in real life.

[morfius93638]

i want a girl like margeret and a voice like rick and a car like garth

[jella11]

@morfius93638

Don't forget Dean's clothes

[RadialSkid]

Sanchez's dance at 3:28 is awesome. XD

[LocustaVampa]

Jesus....Christ what the hell no AHHHhhhhhhh

[clipcalhoon]

this show is so brilliant!

[osnad]

7:00 - they keyboard-scene. HILARIOUS! :D

[Staticnz]

Haha.  There was something about this mist. What? I hadn't the foggiest.

AHAH!!

[cm2dude]

"Well I'll be dead and rained on. Ever since Dag reopened the gates of hell last week, there's been a glut of fresh terror on the wing."

[stupidstuffx]

I always love the show's opening titles

[BillShotgunFilms]

Dean Learner's acting cracks me up, he has to be the worst actor of all time (or is just pretending to)

[MrJoeDolan]

@BillShotgunFilms its Richard Ayoade, and he's just that great of an actor :P :)

[LocustaVampa]

@BillShotgunFilms he's very good at whatever it is he does... :3

[tiemedown]

a whole mess of mist :)

[kdzwgns]

Garth Marenghi? isn't he the one who writes all that horror crap?

well good luck to you, you're an idiot

xD

[gunsmithbasic]

I love how Garth's character just happens to have a cool car with gadgets, lights  and buttons and stuff

[CelticDragon0]

If you pause at about 1:03, the screen looks really cool

[Bawlztodawalz]

Haha, instead of saying "Axing the project" or "Pulling the plug" he said pulling the axe x)

[GuffNubbin]

I've always loved the way Dean Learner doesn't know where to put his hands at the intro pan around. Awkward glance at camera...

[crowpass]

How do they let the film crew into the hospital without disturbing the other medical doings?

[2TonCrackBaby]

I need to read "Crab", I have yet to learn the lesson of not genetically engineering crabs to be as big as men yet.

[JacksonWHU]

Every single line in this programme is a brilliant quote to use. Every single sentance is fucking comedy gold....

[Rawnesss]

Agreed

[greydawn]

I beg your pudding!?

[iCarb0n]

rofl blood, red blood. ruby red. and piss and shit too

[Vexed34]

Yes, let's make love right here on the moor!

[garpersxxx]

ruby red blood....and piss and shit..

[xfugx]

@garpersxxx

This was the worst day of her life.

[evfich]

one moment while i crossfertilize the data... *click click click nothing*. my print out.

[riesteve07]

I wish this show wasn't cancelled

[momwentcrazy]

ahhh... ahhhh, oh my... no, ahh, jesus christ, what the hell, no, ahhhh

[cfjackson123]

Blood ruby red blood, blood, blood, blood...... and bits of shit and sick too.

[FaxanaduJohn]

"Because I don't want to be sitting here tomorrow with mist up my crack."

[Oedemaband]

I love how doctors are investigating a crime scene.

[evfich]

havent you ever heard of the elusive Doctorcop?

[WeNjIbOo]

"I sincerely hope you are disturbed.....by the show" ha ha ha!!

[z3n3]

This was because she was bleeding on it.

[GuiltlessGear]

lol @ race relating to chromosomes.

[SolMaster]

*rrrrring* "That's the phone!"

[rigney777]

3:55 haha fuck hes a good actor, pretending to be a bad actor

[steveasat2]

I love that at the end of this segment, the shadows on the door are still while the foley of footsteps continues. Such a little thing, but it says so much about the show. If you don't happen to catch it, they aren't going to beat you over the head with it...unlike Garth.

[xmasonmars2]

Scotch Mist=Radiohead playing In Rainbows live webcast enjoy!

[mattisprettycool]

the opening theme gets me everytime, along with everything else.

[snotface26]

specially with the jumping over the bush holding the baby ahaha

[livo3]

Well good luck to you. You're an idiot.

[TheKark94]

I havent got the fogiest idea!

best line ever!

[stevebritgimp]

'I hope you are disturbed'

[hellajet]

",,,and piss and shit" - that gets me everything time!!

[Jasrey32390]

I love how there's a completely arbitrary argument over race on a Youtube video. Fucking hilarious.

Anyways, LOVE this show. Adult Swim should show it more.

[reonat]

"It managed to bridge that gap between AAH and ooo"

hahahhaa

[SpekkiotheBrave]

I sincerely hope you are disturbed....by the show

haha

[charliebad]

Awesome 'natural wipe' @ 3.39 :)

[xlxGh0sTxlx]

I beg your pudding? 7:36

love that phrase

[lazyandunemployed]

Dancin' Dagless checks his watch, still has time left before surgery, so he continues dancing (like EVERY renowned surgeon does before his shift).

[badbabybear1]

Score 1 for blatant racism against the Scots!

[mholt8]

You mean the Scotch of course. lol

[CobaltKris]

Racism? Against a nationality? I don't think you've really thought this one through.

[SultanChase]

You fool! The Scots and the Irish constitute a race, and are part of the wider Celtic racial family.

[CobaltKris]

It's not very smart to go calling people fools over a subject as widely debated as race.

Personally I'd argue from the standpoint that Celtic is not a race it is simply a culture and that their race is still white.

[SultanChase]

If not very smart, perhaps you will accept that it is reasonably smart.

By suggesting that Celtic is a culture, and that "white" is a race, you are demonstrating that your ignorance is truly transpicuous. Race relates to the blood/chromosomes. The chromosomes of someone of Celtic descent are different to someone of Germanic descent, which in turn are different to someone of Slavic descent. It's biological. It has nothing to do with culture.

As for "white", that's pigmentation not race. Fool!

[CobaltKris]

....what?

No, they aren't. In fact I think you'll find the only thing that affects chromosome distribution in humans is fucking genetic disorders you complete and utter moron.

Race is a social construct, nothing more, nothing less. It is a means to easily group people into categories, these categories tend to be based upon the most obvious features of people - number one being their skin color.

[SultanChase]

You truly are an idiot. You know nothing about this topic, yet you presume to 'educate' me?

Creatures of ignorance such as you should remain silent, or else kill themselves.

[CobaltKris]

Drop the pretentious act, it's really not necessary for YouTube comments.

Here's a simple way to settle this - you provide proof, any proof at all that race is based on blood/chromosomes and I'll concede.

As for my proof that it is largely based on whatever identifying characteristics you want I'll offer up both the United States census and United Kingdom census who both define race in terms of skin color.

Now - your turn.

[Jacus93]

i completely agree with you.

[mrcheese69]

haha sultanchase . cant believe u really think that race is anything to do with chromosome make up. all humans have the same chromosomes , unless they have some sort of disorder.

[SporkWrath]

Sultanchase is an idiot, but humans do have different chromosomes. IF you're a chick you have XX, if you're a dude you have XY for your last chromosome pair. But try as they might, scientists havn't been able to find any expression of race in the genome.  What we call race is purely variations in physical appearance.

[sarahg89]

Women (or "chicks" as you so honorably call them) usually have XX and men usually have XY, but there are exceptions. Some women are actually XXX and some men are XXY (called Klinefelter Syndrome). And yes, there's no race on the cellular level, its entirely socially constructed.

[Tiwaz81]

@SultanChase

This is funny.

[LeaveItToPsmith]

I love the whimsical music

[friendlyrabbit]

Is the guy who sneaks out with the nurse the boss from The IT Crowd? He really looks like him when he 'screams'!

[organicrobotman]

nah not quite mate.

[TheNick316]

No it is Matt Berry.

[moonlobe]

Darkplace.a televisual rose among thorns.classic episode,hows a bout SKIPPER THE EYECHILD??!!!Anyone?

[richardmoores]

Yea that's a favourite of mine.

[matrixman124]

Oh yea. This is the one where it's about his explicit racism against scottish people. XD

[lazyandunemployed]

is it really 'racism'? or is it simply scientific fact?

[Overdrawnshadow]

the car he drives is like a nightrider golf cart lol

[synthwerk]

I know! The sound it makes is hilarious.

[simonjeste]

"last week" rofl -- does that include the MONTH that Dag was out during the Ape episode?

[Bashimillar]

Ah the 80s! When Romford stood for order, sobriety & hope. How things have changed.

[JohnnyZenith]

Lol noone ever mentions the ridiculous car :)

[producersfan]

"You'd better do something and fast."

*slam*

LOL Dean's the best part of the show.

[Tinklou86]

[bobzilla211]

to kill the queen and destroy our way of life: what every scotch male wants.

[bobzilla211]

even if its something simple like "don't genetically engineer crabs to be as big as men", there's always a theme.

[lsloci7]

[d1z2c3]

[WayToTheGrave]

Where can I get that book about Crabs? Sounds so insightful.

[brumby272727]

Some guy called Guy N Smith wrote 2 books just like that, the second one I own and it's called Killer Crabs.

SERIOUSLY. It's just like Garth Marenghi.

[russ3436]

my mates dad has that book on his bookshelf, we couldnt believe it when we found it, it EXACTLY what he is taking the piss out of ROFL

[beshameless]

actors playing characters playing actors - not as simple as it looks!

[Debanie]

Based on tunes originally whistled by Garth Merenghi lmao

[quaz18]

they did a really good job making everything seem like it was done in the 80's! even the music!

[TexTK]

I love how Dean pronounces it Gah-Redge

[athene1992]

is that weird? i say garage like that. oh my god i'm a freak!

[bigstevie01]

It's normal to pronounce it like that unless you're French. And nobody likes the French.
