In conclusion, watch out for bad, didactic writers. They're more evil than you know.
Day 24: Five words/phrases that make you laugh
Well no, this is a poorly-phrased and ill-thought-out question, because laughter doesn't work like that. It's situational, your mood has to be right, there has to be the right combination of circumstances - a catchphrase just won't cut it if it's being used by the wrong person or you're saying it when you're in a "kill everything" mood.
Reducing humour down to individual words and sayings which are just automatically always funny is impossible, no matter how hard the writers on Little Britain and other borestravaganzas try.
BBC iPlayer-accessing humans, "All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace: 1 Love and Power" is up at the moment: here. Caught a radio interview with Adam Kurtis last week and was, in the manner that I usually am, very surprised to discover that he sounds like himself. I don't know why that's weird, but I get the same thing with TV/film people when I see them in the street; was bewildered to discover about 10 years ago that Eddie Izzard still looks like Eddie Izzard when he's signing things as well as when he's inside the computer box/tv box. WHY DOES IT CONFUSE ME SO MUCH.
The upshot of episode one, btw, is that everything is Ayn Rand's fault. This makes me happy, as not only was she a colossally disruptive fucking twat with mad eyes, but her writing is terrible. Also a lot of people are morons, no one learns from the past, and I feel a bit better about the west going into a tailspin now that I know this is self-inflicted off the back of a policy put in place by eastern nations after our shitty cunt bank cunts fucked them into the ground shortly beforehand. [I would like to say "it made me loathe the IMF for corruption" but tbqh I had reached that conclusion in about 1998 or so].
