I'm a mental fan of gervais and merchant (and karl) but i have to say that life's too short was god awful

So was the second An Idiot Abroad in my view. Just have them do more podcasts please!

I hated the first, loved the second... it was much more natural karl. Reminded me of xfm karl before he started egging it.

I just F'n hate the stupid calling Karl up bullshit. I want them to fucking BE there with him doing these things too or encouraging Karl in person. I don't want to watch someone on the phone with someone else it's retarded. Especially since what I want more than anything is for Karl to stop putting up with their "orders" and say "Fuck you I ain't doing it." He tried and FAILED to do that, and I'm sick of watching it.


Fair enough, but i have to say they don't come across well in the series, i think they may have made themselves look worse than they are. They're actually really good mates and a lot of what we see on TV now is kind of over-acting. Karl loves spending time with them, they're pretty much his only friends and if they didn't force him to maintain the frindship, he wouldn't ever see them cos he's such a miserable, set-in-his-ways, old-before-his-time fart. I don't think he's really being pressured or anything; they're acting more nasty than they are and he's acting more annoyed than he is.

I think he does get a bit of that in the 2nd series anyway though because he flat refuses to do the big challenge (won't spoil it) or at least lies. But i preferred it because we got to see him having to interact with other people that always failed to meet his requirements in any given errand and there was no way out of it - like the desert island one - so he had to just be his natural annoyed self with those people.

Man i could talk for england, and you might not have even meant that at all so i'll stop there. Oh but i agree i think it's utter shit having them just call up like fatcats. It just seems a bit weird. Make an itinerary at the start and let him work it out, or go with him. What did they do instead? Life's too fucking short?

@EMPIRE - Were you a fan of extras and the office though? I feel like this is the first of their comedies that has the appeal to people who'd like comedies i can't hack such as "my family"

If conservatives wrote screenplays...


Kermit Shrugged (2011 - R for strong language and graphic depictions of sharing and caring)

Synopsis: After years of supporting the rest of the parasite Muppets that seem content to ride his coattails, Kermit the Frog decides to relocate to a desert island with a group of sanctimonious industrialists and pretentious artists.

I really don't know what I'd do if I had a daughter like this.


Well, if you were trapped on a desert island, she'd probably sustain you for a couple weeks at least. So there's that.

Tried it after all the hullabaloo. Got bored after I built a house. The end.

same here.


Did you play creative or survival? If you want a more goal orientated challenge, try Survival Island. It's a quite challenging map where you are put on a mostly desert island and need to complete a specific amount of goals.

Here you can see a great lets play of the first part of the challenge by two really funny Brits

I think Joe Strummer was one of the most talented musicians ever. I started listening to the Clash in 1977, and still listen to them on a regular basis. If i were on a desert Island i would be happy with, the clash discography and also the Ramones for good measure. Joe Strummer RIP.


Agreed. As a musician Strummer is my #1 musical influence, hands down. Followed by Lennon and McCartney. I crank up "4 Horsemen" on the way to work and sing along until I'm hoarse.

I would so watch that.

Who do you think would ally with who? I mean, you have three sides and let's assume equal numbers.

The muslims would stay the hell away from the jews. Would they try a deal with the christians? I imagine the christians would see it as beneath themselves to deal with anyone (presuming they're white americans, say). Would the jews consider reaching out to either side? It would be so interesting. I mean, no side is going to attack another without an alliance because they'd have lower numbers afterwards and would therefore be disadvantaged fighting the third group. You might even end up with an awkward peace with no fighting at all!

I can see I will be pondering this evilly for some time.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

^I see a great reality show in this:
Fundamentalist Island: The Ultimate Grudge Match.
Radical Jews, Christians and Muslims battle for religious supremacy on a desert island, armed only with hatred and their bare hands. Last man standing gets to live on a religiously purified island... until he eventually dies alone of dehydration or scurvy, or gets run through by a wild boar or mauled by a polar bear.

Pasted below are Roman's responses to our Roast Quiz. The RoastMASTER's commentary appears in parentheses.

My real name is Roman Novak. I'm from Europe, Slovenia (we don't know what cheetos are), but I'll try to answer your stupid questions as best as I can.

1.What do you, do most of the day when you are not lounging, but not on the computer?
Roman: Mostly I do nothing or as little as possible. I watch tv shows, movies, read books and smoke weed. When I become bored of that I go outside and get drunk at a pub. In the summertime I ride mountain bikes. I don't like winter or winter sports much

2.Who are you more fond of?
A..Mother
B.McDonalds
C.Beer
D.Technical Assistance
E. Dairy Products
F.All of the above
G.None (kill them all)
Roman: Kill'em all, leave the beer.

3. How many pairs of shoes as opposed to matching undergarments.... boxers or briefs
Roman: weird question. (editor: no shit, what were you thinking Choggie?) I'd say 1 shoe for 10 underpants. there

4.mac or pc?
Roman: pc. or at least hackintosh

5. Who’s your guru?
Roman: I don't have guru's, but there are a few people I love and would buy beer for them. mostly writers I like, movie directors, scientists and people who make me laugh.

6.Bush or No Bush?
Roman: I don't care

7.sprinkles, gravy, or cherry on top?
Roman: gravy ( Ass gravy, of course)

8.tits, ass, or legs.
Roman: face first, gotta be cute. tits are not a priority, but a fine ass is a must. also, i hate fankles

9.supine or prostrate?
Roman: i sleep on my back if that's what u mean (It’s not, but whatever. You have to cut the guy a little slack for his ESL handicap)

10. cat, dog or other
Roman: dog, i guess. not really a pet person

11. Car, bike, public transit, walking or motorcycle?
Roman: bike first, then car (I don't own one for past 3-4 years now)

12.time, newsweek or USNews and World Report?
Roman: i get my news from Stephen Colbert (like every good Videosifter)

13.beer preference?
Roman: Laško (slovenian), Heineken

14.Religion: Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Atheist,Agnostic,Jedi?
Roman: no religion (Again, like everybody here at Videosift)

15.Ever arrested?
Roman: not actually arrested, I was charged a couple of times, most were drug related, couple of fights, and theft once - which I was innocent of and proved it in court, too. (I guess the definition of “arrested” is different in Slovenia than in North America)

16.cheetos: crunchy or puffs?
Roman: crunchy

17.dog or cat person?
Roman: look at 10 (holy double post, batman!)

18.bangs, balding or rug?
Roman: bangs

19.five most cherished possessions
Roman: possesions ... my bike, i guess. my computer. I'm not really attached to material things (+ I don't have many so it's kinda meaningless question for me) and mementos don't do much for me either. every few years I throw ever4ything away and start over

20.clean shaven, beard, goatee or moustache
Roman: beard (it only tickles for a little while)

21. Desert Island albums?
Roman: hard to decide. something jazzy, definetly (sic)

22. Pro gay marriage, or agin?
Roman: do whatever the fuck you want, is my motto. just don't piss on other people

23. Communicable diseases... be honest
Roman: never ever. besides, I hardly have sex any more except with myself (no wonder he fits in so well here, plus he gives amazing backrubs)

A guy is stranded on a deserted island with only a sheep and a dog for company. He has a huge libido, and after a couple of days, he gets so horny he is almost delirious. To relieve himself of his agony, he tries to engage the sheep in intercourse. But his efforts are thwarted by the dog, who protects the sheep by pushing him away. He tries again the next day and the day after that, but the dog is always there to stop him.

A week later, he suddenly hears screams for help from the ocean. A woman is struggling to stay afloat about 50 meters from the shore, entangled as she is in the remains of an old fishing net. He quickly jumps in the water, swims out, cuts her loose with his pocket knife, and pulls her in to the shore. Her clothes are in tatters, leaving her almost completely naked, and she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. "Oh thank you, you have saved my life!", she exclaims. "I'll do anything for you in return!".

"Great!", he answers. "Could you hold the dog, please?"

This is the clip from Planet earth! My desert island DVD set. Dunno about the music though...

Hi moodonia, hmmm if I could only take two albums. It would be a tough choice but I would randomly pick 2 of the Dick's Picks collection. http://www.deaddisc.com/GDFD_Dicks_Picks.htm Everything from this collection is from live shows. Also a great place to start if your looking some really great shows.

Great Great Song!

Gratefulmom, if you could only take two Grateful dead albums with you on a trip to a desert island, what two would you pick?

I ask because I've only picked up a couple of live Albums which I love but theres so many to pick from. Can you suggest any I should look out for?
