I'd caught bits of this on the news, so I was aware of it, but I hadn't listened to it in any depth. Wow. I mean - fucking hell. This does not inspire a great deal of confidence. But it is very funny, in a comedy car-crash kind of a way. It's like a scene from a British sit-com where the primary goal is to make you cringe back into your seat in embarrassment for the protagonist, even as you are laughing at his incompetent antics (the original Office for instance, or In the Thick of It)

I just can not like John Oliver. I just want to slap him. If he said to me "Hey Grav, ol' chap, have a hundred dollars, 'ere ya go.", I'd still want to slap him. Not even an angry "You motherfucker!"-type slap. Just a not-quite-casual-"You wanker!"-kinda-way.

Is it because he looks EXACTLY like classic man? Because he looks EXACTLY like classic man.

From Bruce Almighty (the movie, not the fabulously awesome Dwellar):
Yeah, that's from before ol' Carrey tried to tell us what to do with our guns. We still got our guns. Where's ol Jim been lately?

This is currently my favourite scene from Thick of It - it makes me laugh every time.
Nobody swears like a Glaswegian In no way is this scene safe for work.

That is an excellent line. I also love this scene. This is from the movie In the Loop - a satire on the lead up to the Iraq war - in this case an unnamed middle east country. It had a pretty reasonable US cinema release for an independent British film - so for a lot of the audience this was their first introduction to Malcolm Tucker - this is from the first scene in the film *note - in the movie Chris Addison plays a different, but very similar, character to the one he plays in the series. This is also his first meeting with Tucker

I hadn't thought of it, but, I suppose one could see a resemblance.

ETA: Makes me think of these guys (NSFW Language). I'm not sure why, but, I laugh like hell at the end of that vid. Every time. It's like verbal face-slappery. Or something.
