Nice, and I've seen it done live to great effect, but there are better examples around. This one's similar:

... and this is one of my favourites:

Those blues dudes sure are particular about making sure their meat is properly handled. Catfish Keith is an old favourite of mine.

all your favourite movies you think are "all practical" are almost certainly huge VFX movies.

My favourite thing about this was the nicely done exploding sheep. It brought back fond memories of this...



I wonder whatever happened to the guy with the chainsaw. He couldn't have gone far.

All right then. If you're really into that kind of thing I recommend my favourite episode: series 2, episode 9: How To Recognise Different Parts Of The Body. You'll be most interested in number 14.

I love these views of magic from a different angle, and I've seen plenty of examples in real life. As Penn and Teller know, seeing how it's done is just as entertaining as not.

My favourite example is in this respect *related=https://videosift.com/video/Magician-shows-how-the-trick-is-done

As soon as I saw the video title and had half a glance at the thumbnail I knew exactly what this was and how it was delivered, down to the almost silent tic-a-tic-aaaaaaa.

This was probably the biggest film of my youth (even if it wasn't my favourite).

that's the point. that episode was amazing and def. hard to watch. the show is hard to watch but it's rewarding. my favourite trait of the show is that the show allows the characters to be flawed but to also learn, grow, and be better people, which i don't think i've really seen before in TV.

I had honestly thought his first performance of that song on TV wasn't until 1978, where he did my favourite. Maybe the above doesn't count as it was a stage show that happened to be filmed.



Apparently he was good friends with Jim Henson, which only makes it sweeter.

What is your favourite or go to song from the 80s?

My favourite Irish comment on the last point is that Americans spell it H-Y-P-O-...

it was rough in a comedy sense. he might as well have made a "my wife is always nagging" joke. even if you hate trans people, it wasn't a clever joke. and honestly, comedians using "woke culture" and trans people as jumping off points is so fucking boring. they've rarely added anything to the conversation are rarely funny. it's unfortunate that a lot of my favourite comedians are still doing those kinds of bits.

This is my favourite unknown Python sketch, and one I recommend to non-python speaking people as an easy introduction to the silliness.

You might find it funny that we had The Banana Splits in Ireland too, and it was one of my favourite shows. In fact, a couple of weeks ago I was singing the intro to my own son.

RIP Henry Woolf, who I know best from several collaborations with Eric Idle including this, the first sketch from RWT, and one of my favourites.

Machine-wrapped with butter indeed. *promote
