    Worst episode of the series I think. Genuinely didn't laugh out loud once. Just a few smirks. Disappointing after last week.

    “Let’s hire some Albanians to f**k him up.”

    Probably least funny of series.

    Hard to compete with Martin Brennan

    Let’s be honest, it was never going to beat the end of last week’s episode.

    “I don’t want my hair to look like a cross between Margaret Thatcher and a brown cloud.”

    I did laugh loudly at Alan getting voluntarily crushed between the bookshelves, then her asking "shall i release u now Alan?" and him replying with a winded "yeah" :) the rest of it was okay. The format of the show wastes Alan, Lynn, Simon, even Jennie. Much better when they are interacting without an audience. I'd prefer to see them before and after the shows, when the cameras are off them. Bizarre decison to bring Alan back on a BBC show like this, given the character's history.

    didn't really get that gag..was Alan getting perverse pleasure by being squashed between the two bookshelves or something along those lines?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,632 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    And yes, lots of people on twitter have re-reversed what Alan said to ‘Mrs. Magoo’

    :D

    I really enjoyed that episode. Some dud moments but some real lol moments. The lips at the end! :p He looked like Pete Burns.

    I think it was a mix of perversion and curiosity. That thought always occurs to me when i see those rolling shelves "imagine getring trapped in there". Alan did have some curiosity about that too, but wanted to get crushed to an extreme level. There were barely a few inches between the bookcases when she had finished turning the wheel. I thought he'd be as flat as a pancake, but he came bounding out, with a smile on his face. Definitely something kinky going on there! I love how he was there to talk about the history of swear words, but immediately forgot that when he saw the rolling shelves. He was like a cat when they see a box: they just have to get in it :)

    Up there with the second and third ones for me. I think the Martin Brennan segment rescued last week's episode as it was mediocre up until that point.

    the breakdown of brilliant comedy jokes that are now verboten to feminists is epic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,632 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    I never get tired of Alan’s awkward, clunky walk over to Simon :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭sonofenoch


    The lips and choice of song at the end gave me cramps from laughing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭rodders999


    He couldn’t let the fuel injector thing go, it was tearing him apart.
