Black books moment.

Chevano Riley

the best one, that is.

last night on e4. the alrm installation guy is talking to manny and theres a little subutteo player in his hair. it doesnt sound quite so funny when i repeat it here... but it truly was.

anyway, other contenders?

Bernard's eating toast: Mmmm... Jam jam jam, jam jam jam jam! Euch!
\throws toast, which sticks to ceiling.

Also, in the first episode. walks up to 3 scumbags and says "Which one of you bítches wants to dance?"

I love it!

Magic Monkey

Episode 1 of Series 1, after Bernard gets beaten up by skinheads, asking Manny:

Bernard: "Can I have a ham sandwich?"
Manny: "Err, yeah alright then"
Bernard: "And... and a pickle?" (the look of simple joy on his face was hilarious)

TheSonOfBattles

To many to mention. But a few pop to mind. Manny suffering from the heat syndrome and going insane on the street. Manny getting high on caffeine, and then throwing himself into a chair, looking up in pain, and when asked what was wrong, saying "i sat on myself". Also, in the last episode at the airport, when they're describing Manny being worshipped as a god in one country by its locals, and he turns around and screams "I thought we'd agreed to never speak of Canada again!" Class series, must rewatch it sometime.

the one where manny gets hired

parasite

from the episode where the shop becomes a book shop/restaurant :

Bernard "Gourmet food is always presented in little towers....Whats that?"
Manny "Soup!"
Bernard "Well make it into a tower..........Manny do you have a tower of soup for me.....Where are the Turrets! it's rubbish!!!" /smashes tower of soup against wall in disgust/

or
Manny "Do you think I shuould wash my Beard???"
Bernard "I think you should wash your beard, then shave it off, nail it to a frisbee and fling it over a rainbow"

ROFL

When I saw the topic, that was the exact moment I thought of

I have Series 1 on DVD and apparently, Series 2 is coming out soon at the same time Series 3 is being show on telleh.

TheSonOfBattles

There was a season 3?

Töpher

Was filmed over the summer apparently. Or was meant to anyways.

Stark

Never even knew there was a 2nd season until I saw the ad on the season 1 dvd. Never saw it on tv.

Excellent, I've been waiting for far too long for season 2 to be release on DVD. Seeing as they are releasing a 3rd series I guess I'll have to forgive them.

Season 3??!?. Fantastic stuff

grossly underrated show.

best bits. manny lookin for food when trapped in shop, finding shoe wrapped in tin foil in the fridge. bernard saying "yes, your a beard with an idiot hanging off".

or when manny gets high on caffine and chases the mugger down the street for ages. when the mugger turns to face him he just casually runs by.

For me it was when Manny was tasting the sand when the guy was returning the book as unread.

Yup, definitely! Also, when Bernard had a stick shoved down a bottle of wine, froze the lot then took it out, shattered the bottle and continued to enjoy the wine like an ice lolly!
