The way Beef is saying "was this before or after Janeane finally called" is so perfect. That is exactly the kind of thing you say to someone's boring story. I have met a guy like Barry but without the beer, and it was all I could do not to kill him.

Yeah, I wouldn't tolerate a guy like Barry for five minutes... unless he had plenty of Guinness to spare. Stuff's expensive, and my time is basically worthless.

You guys are being really harsh about Barry. Maybe you wouldn't like to hear Barry talk about his marraige, but this is Beef. He probably asked all the leading questions and genuinely wants to know whether it was "before or after Janeane finally called" 'cos he's got mad empathy skillz.

70% of all people who I've ever worked with are basically Barry. They can be annoying, but when you learn how to listen to them they can almost be a comfort. And yeah, especially if they're packin' stout.

Every one-shot character's girlfriend is named Janeanne. The ill-fated Carl had one as well. Perhaps his WWII-era condom is in some obscure way responsible for the fecundity of Barry's partner.
But probably not, because fish do not, in general, have phalluses.

OH MY GOD I literally just got the joke that relaxing was making. Because he made a mistake in his original mention of a British show ("A Mighty Boosh", how silly), he chose to make jokes in the names of other British shows he'd heard of, thus continuing the theme.
And all this time I thought he was just retarded.

I can watch region 2 DVDs on my laptop using VLC Player, but I know watching things on the computer isn't the best solution for most people. videohelp.com has a lot of DVD player hacks, too, for making North American (and, I'm assuming, ones from other regions as well) DVD players regionless.
(I clearly spend too much time watching TV.)

Actually, I'm not really a massive fan at all. I mean, I've watched a couple of episodes and I enjoyed them, but so many people I know are just damn crazy about it (like we all are with Achewood, I guess), and I'm a bit like, uhhh what's the huge deal guys.

I definitely loved the first two series, but the third just felt like they ran out of ideas and it kind of sucked a lot. And now they're, like, making a movie and recording an album or something, which makes me want to tell them to just go away for a while.
