Things are getting slightly better. Still taking it easy and taking it slow. Hopefully will be okay in a couple of days… (Nov 26, 2025)

Having brutally severe panic attacks the past couple of days, taking a short break. Sorry. (Nov 23, 2025)

  • Oh this isn’t a new thing. I was just talking to a friend last night and Mock the Week got mentioned. I then spun off and started sending him clips I had taken of bits from the show that always make me laugh like a motherfucker. British panel shows are my comfort food. Mock the Week, Cats does Countdown, and QI are probably the three I watch the most of but only because there is so much in the run of content. Big Fat Quiz of any year/decade/everything too. Same with Would I Lie To You.

    A lot of my favorite shows were pretty shortlived like Dara O’Briain’s Go 8-Bit or David Mitchell’s Was It Something I Said. I remember watching Series 8 or 9 of Mock the Week as the episodes were coming out. Been a loooooooong time that I’ve been watching British comedy. American humor is too hand-holdy most of the time. Gotta walk you through the jokes and feels almost insulting to your intelligence at times. Canadian humor is more dry but can be a bit American too. English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, all of it has the right flavor of dour, dry, bitter, and hilarious that I’m looking for. I’ve got a fuckin list of comedians that I could rattle off forever and start easily quoting them and, funnily enough, I didn’t find them through the panel shows. Well most of 'em.
