i have a lot of episode requests i'm working on so i'll make another post with those shortly!

———

this is such a fun question — i wish i had an answer! most of my "conspiracy theories" have more to do with certain comedians being misunderstood (in both good and bad ways), as people tend to want to like who they like and hate who they hate out of selfishness that is somewhat at odds with reality. at times. like, for example, not a lot of people want to talk about how many comedians actually didn't like sean lock at all in the early 00s because of how cutthroat and competitive he was on panel shows (mock the week flashbacks, anyone?); we don't enjoy thinking about that because, as fans, we all like sean and think he was a hilarious, honest, decent person. i could talk more about this but tbh defending someone i think people misunderstand or tearing down someone people love is kinda...not the kind of discourse i'm trying to do on this website 😅 anyways, that's where most of my theories lie (that and dating theories? maybe?), but that's not enough to call them conspiracy theories ig? this isn't a conspiracy theory, right? because i so passionately believe everything i said there hahahaha

do you have any you'd share? 👀🌀

i think argumental is probably the most underrated to me, because as much as...no one...talks about shows like duck quacks don't echo and rhod gilbert's growing pains, they've had enough high-profile or just popular-within-britcom guests that people have checked them out even for just one specific episode. but i feel like no one has watched argumental!!!!!!! which, i get it, it's a lot of straight white guys standing around doing fake mainsplaining lol (please remember that before, like, 5 years ago, that's about all panel shows were) but i think the premise of impromptu debate is really funny, some of the formats really bamboozle the debaters which leads to funny banter and improv, and it was so fun to see sean lock in menace mode as host 😋

i can't say it's the best ever made or anything — because, like series like there's something about movies (jennifer saunders i love you!!!!), rob beckett's smart tv, etc it's just two opposite panels answering kinda boring questions — but if you love david tennant and i know you do because everyone rightly does then you should try comedy world cup! he's such a wonderful host and there are a lot of panel show faves as guests

and on the topic of meh-to-decent formats with A+ hosts and big name panels, have you ever tried was it something i said or insert name here? they each have their moments for sure, i think a lot of people wanted to see wisis come back (maybe we're all just obsessed with david 🤷‍♀️)

you MUST listen to the unbelievable truth if you haven't, it's such a stellar radio show

another required panel experience is the recent series guy mont spelling bee and i'm holding a gun to your head when i say this watch it and watch it right now

as many of you know i'm not a fan of a league of their own but the road trip series are def some of the better episodes so if you like the panelists you can check that out for sure

does that help a little? tbh most of what i WANT to recommend isn't panel shows but scripted series or tangential reality shows (like travel man), but you asked about panel shows specifically so i stuck with them!

i haven't, and i surprise myself because lily savage was so iconic and i am sure i scrolled past her era a bunch of times back in the day. i'd give it a try if an episode had the right amalgamation of guests, so i'll check it out!!

omg there are so many moments from so many series — and i added quite a few to these random panel shows moments posts i did last year so i'll try not to repeat myself — but let me rack my brain real quick...

as i always say THIS is my favourite wilty clip ever and i stand by that

david the tortoise

yoshi the actual tortoise

"if this turns out to be a lie you are a shamless little light entertainer"

tell 'em david!! cuz she really does have horrible views lol

the elephant :/

for the last six months i've been secretly liasing with david's wife behind his bak

obviously the horse story

omg and the THERE'S NOOOOOO UNIVERSITY story

and on the topic of classics this was always my bob mortimer fave maybe because of the genuine awe of the panel in the end lol

and on the topic of genuine awe definitely this one

this miles jupp car crash

bermuda

i love rhod's potato tattoo and it's so funny that denise is like 'why have you got that??' so sincerely she was so astounded lmaooo

i was genuinely invited to harry and megan's wedding today but i said no because i had to come here and do this

i once shared a tent in kent with susie dent

another recent fave is this adorable one<3

oh man anon there are soooo many more maybe i can work on a masterpost of both funny moments funny whole lies/truths, or a youtube video or something (i said i'd get back into making videos). did i mention even one of your faves?? hehehe

omg anon you must watch this if you haven't the ben whishaw obsession is NOT a drill

he also talks about it in his book!

god he's so relatable

OMG I DID the nostalgia...

the way they didn't want to just talk about popworld but they didn't go one whole minute without saying popworld hahahaha they're soooooo cute

richard the popworld horse mentioned!!!!!!!

miquita being a whole child when she got cast for popworld, like it's so wild to think about

"has it been clear from what we've discussed that i'm a reclusive genius and master of cinema?" + "we pretended to be pretentious directors in berets...and i have become that guy now"

i know they were 98% kidding but the 2% of them that would go through with the popworld baby?? CAN YOU IMAGINE

you can't be surprised that a guy who wears false teeth in the name of absurd comedy for a living enjoyed a film about a man who wears false teeth in the name of absurd comedy!

a friend of mine gifted me a while of nordvpn, so that's what i've been using lately, but it depends what you need a vpn for. for example, if you're torrenting and need to seed content (for ratios or whatever), you'll need something with port forwarding like airvpn. if you're just trying to find something to switch between countries' netflixes or abuse streaming services, surfshark is very popular but i'd say expressvpn comes more highly recommended. once you pick the vpn you'd like to use, it's easy to find tutorials on youtube!

aww you're too kind 🥹🫂

Hello! I tried looking but I'm on mobile so maybe I missed it. Do you have an art site of any kind? Follow up question, would you ever make any of your art into prints / stickers or something of the kind? I'm specifically interested in your Medalist art (it's SO CUTE) and I'm trying to get a friend something for her birthday and Medalist stuff is surprisingly hard to find! If you aren't that's fine, just figured I'd ask since I love your art style!! Thanks for your time 💜

Hello! Thank you for your interest and kind words.

I currently do not have art specific site other than my socials, and this tumblr account is pretty much the most easily navigable one among my others, haha! sorry about that -_-'

As for the merch, i do make them yes! But i'm still at the planning stage currently, and will be opening preorder form for it real soon (hopefully next week)! I can tag you when it's up :)

This isn't a question, but just a quick thank you. You're probably one of my favorites here on tumblr. Your creativity makes me smile every time I see your posts. I listen to the songs and either find a new bop or just cry laughing at the nonsense. Thank you for what you do. I hope you heal quickly and you find peace and relaxation during the holidays and into the new year. Thank you

I’ve been holding onto this one for a while, because I wanted to keep staring at it a bit longer before putting it out into the world <3

thank you! it makes me happy that you’ve been enjoying my blog, and I hope this year is a good one for you!

Everyone always asks "what's your favorite stuffed animal" NO What is the closest stuffed animal to you? Do you rotate stuffed animals in bed? Do you have a best cuddler stuffed animal? Best named stuffed animal (your fav name or s pun or joke or just a good solid name you can say outloud)? Inquiring minds want to know (please)

Ooooh these are good questions. I treasure all of mine and many have quite the history to them at almost 30 years old. Actually, I think have a few older than that.

They're arranged on the shelf above my desk, the shelf beside my desk, my desk surface itself, and on my bed! I have a small bed so not much room there, but there are some there. I don't tend to sleep with them often because, for some reason, I end up pushing them aside while I'm asleep (how rude of me! ;-;).

I don't think I can pick favourites, but I do certainly feel more attached to the ones I've had since I was a kid. Some I've named but some I haven't - I just love them as they are and haven't named 'em 😊.

I've always had a thing for the "lesser loved" animals and intentionally sought those out as stuffed animals. I have snakes, a lobster, a spider, an armadillo, a sea turtle, several frogs, a scorpion, a shark, a three-headed dragon! and more! I should really get around to getting a picture of them some time and I will tag you when I do.

I clicked on your link to preorder a copy of your Rush collection, and it lets me pick one to purchase and everything, but the description says preorder ends in January? Am I still able to grab one, or am I just being silly and not understanding?

Oh my god I'm an idiot. Your Queen one, I don't know why I said rush. I think I picked a name of a band my dad listens to, since it's for him! Sorry!

Omg you’re good! Thank you for pointing that out-- it’s absolutely meant to say February! I was still totally in the wrong months when I put that up apparently!

Wait...what does waxing your thread do? I'm going to assume it makes it slide easier though fabric, but won't it mess anything up?

Sort of, it doesn’t exactly make it more slide-y because beeswax is a bit sticky, but it makes it go more smoothly in that it twists and tangles less when it’s waxed.

It smooths down the fuzzy little fibres, which is important on linen and cotton threads, or really any threads where the fibres aren’t continuous, and it helps with twisty silk threads too. (I don’t recommend hand sewing with polyester thread, it’s very twisty and tangly and unfriendly.)

Un-waxed thread will fray a lot faster. Just recently I basted a bit of fabric with heavy linen thread that I didn’t wax, and the end got very wispy from all the fibres coming off. Where the eye of the needle rubs against the thread causes a lot of wear too.If the wax makes it a bit too sticky you can put the waxed thread in between two sheets of paper and iron it lightly, which’ll melt the wax and help it sink in.

This doesn’t apply to embroidery though! Wax would make the embroidery threads dull and dirty.

Your art brings such chaos and peace to my soul. I listened to one of these at work and BOY HOWDY my coworkers heard it through the office door and fucking BOOKED IT OVER TO ME to hear the rest. He wants to hear a rick roll done in your style and I tried to search but tumblr is dying and I can't seem to find it so we are going to try youtube. Anyways just a thank you again for your magic! ✨

oh thanks! :D glad you and your coworkers are having fun!

but also you should know that I did do “Never Gonna Give You Up” recently, and it’s here in audio:
