As long as anyone can remember, we have always been told Americans 'don't do irony'. Maybe the 'irony' Americans tend to hear from most British comics is the thuggish younger brother called sarcasm. Remember M*A*S*H many years ago, and stand-up comics like Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal and even (before he went into films) Eddie Murphy...and what about The Simpsons and Friends. And what about the parody mag called The Onion - would give Private Eye a run for its money. Relatives in Phila. told me years ago - there's a time a place for it, but also granda told me what would be appreciated in Philadelphia would be sneered at in, say, Boston. Could be irony requires more intelligence than the normal wham-bam joke humour. Americans may not appreciate it much - but when we see it on British telly, the viewing figures for the shows in question - Bremner Bird & Fortune etc. are not too grand. Truth is we Brits don't understand it too, do we?

Do you remember how everyone loved Nickelodian? Do you remember:
Hey Arnold
Rocket Power
Clarissa Explains it All
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
Are You Afriad of the Dark
Wild and Crazy Kids
Legends from the Hidden Temple
Figure it Out
Double Dare
Rugrats
All That (in its first years when it was good)

Any other shows you can think of? I know all of these were great shows that certainly bring back good memories for me. I remember people on my bus were discussing it a week ago and thats what made me think of it.

the advert shows a series of funny clips, and the background music in the advert is like a jazz tune, the advert has only been going for about 2 months now.

Whats the best TV advert and what ones do you find really annoying? Personally i think the best one is the dancing Citroen transformer one and i cant stick the "tom tom" or that new car advert that repeats "when why where over and over again"!! (think its a car advert) so annoying i have to switch it over! lol

If they were to make a new series of blackadder, what era do you think it would be set in? also would there be any new actors for parts? What mischief could Blackadder cause?

.... because I love Star Trek?
I love Next Generation the best (it's got Data!), but the original is disimilarliy fantastic(it's got William Shatner! And Leonard Nimoy! And George Takei! I could go on...)
Voyager is pretty damn awesome also.
I don't really like DS9 though... and no self respecting star trek fan would like "Enterprise"

I've never been to a convention... but I'd probably go to one.

Oh my god... you don't even have to answer. I already know!
Aaah, but if loving Star Trek is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Whats your favourite episode from any Blackadders and why do you like it? Mine is 'Head' from Blackadder the 2nd were Baldrick becomes executioner and executed the wrong person. I think this is so funny because they get into more trouble than usual!

he did NOT quit because he didnt want 2 "snitch"..he quit because he didnt wana LOSE. He knew there was competition. And for him to quit sickens me because he blamed it on not wanting to "snitch"..meenwhile cameras where following him the whole time...and they already KNEW whos idea for the video was. Hes a straight up FRAUD...and i can already tell everyone hand downn...the girl that WILL WIN...will put him on again. Because she had mad feelings for him...you can tell by her reaction from him leaving. But to me hes still a WEAK *** bytch. What ya think about that kat??
