The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin. I knew when I first saw the trailer of this vaguely historical comedy series with Noel Fielding in the title role that me and my daughter would love it. And indeed we did, laughed wholeheartedly at the silliness of it all, and the many dick jokes brought on by the lead character's first name. It's nowhere near on par with Blackadder, but it's clearly in the same vein. The series reinvents Dick Turpin (one of the most notorious and ruthless highwaymen in English history) as a shallow but good-hearted man ticking all the boxes of modern deconstruction (vegetarian, gender-fluid, etc.) who falls into highway robbery by accident and likes the fame that comes with it. It's a laugh, although I doubt I'll be watching it again (unlike Blackadder). #tvseries#comedy#history#noelfielding
On today’s #GreatestTrek, Burnham and Moll teleport onto a set leftover from Apple TV’s Foundation, and engage in a little Mortal Kombat to determine the future of the Federation, and life itself.
Add a dose of humor to your space with this digitally painted photograph of two guys goofing around at an improv event. It was a blast to photograph and even more fun to paint digitally. Ideal wall art for home, office, hotel, and hospitality interiors.
Rambling around YT for late-breaking news, YT's algorithm knows I like #comedy, so it shows me a guy named Don McMillan (new to me), a very funny #comic who uses #Powerpoint (I know right?) to get laughs.
He gets laughs!
Probably most appreciated by "Nerds, Geeks, or Dorks" or some combination thereof, like 'engineers', or something (he explains the differences with excellent charts & graphs). https://youtu.be/kwz-Md6OoyA
I don't know who it was that put a Canadian flag and a satellite dish on a roadside beaver house in the middle of nowhere British Colombia... but well done. No notes. #comedy
On today's #GreatestTrek, the Discovery crew is about to get the party started when Moll steals the Progenitor keg right from under them. Then an away team goes undercover to see if they can pull one over on the Breen.

'The Leicester Comedy Festival is seeking volunteers to help catalogue and preserve images stored in its archive.
Organisers have collected hundreds of photos and images since the annual event began in 1994 but they are not currently catalogued in any formal order.'
My friend and I are hardcore fans of Last Podcast on the Left (who are much happier now that we have the very lovely Ed Larson over scrumbag Ben Kissel) who have been charting with one another the little hints Henry Zebrowski has dropped on the Side Stories podcast and Last Stream on the Left that at some point in his life he caught tax charges like it is deep lore hinted at in a novel series.
Jimmy Carr is another one of these people who I like. He’s extremely intelligent and very interesting. I love watching him being interviewed. I just don’t like his standup. #comedy
Big Banana Feet (1976)
in cinemas across the UK from 10 May
Capturing ‘The Big Yin’ on and off stage during his 1975 tour of Ireland, Big Banana Feet is a captivating record of Billy Connolly on the cusp of international stardom.
Director Murray Grigor and cinematographer David Peat present Connolly at his beguiling best, using humour & charm to successfully navigate the political tensions of 1970s Dublin and Belfast.
On the second of the original 4 TV movies that make up what is now considered the first season of Lexx, and there is simply no other show like this. It veers from dark #comedy and satire to sex comedy to surreal and psychedelic #SciFi epic to even #horror and a musical number
And somehow, despite it definitely being a weird show, I don't get whiplash from it, its tone seems so comfortable with itself that it can touch on so much without falling apart.
