name one thing about the show - Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004) Discussion

[–] Gheelnory 14 years ago

It's difficult to name one thing; I just sort of quiver with delight every minute the show is on. (Of course I've seen each episode several times.)

But perhaps I quiver a little harder when Richard Ayoade says or does anything...anything at all.

i agree,anything with richard ayoade in seems to be a hit with me, i just love how its probably one of two shows (along with flight of the concords) which i can watch episode after episode for 1000 times and still find it hilarious

I have 2..
First one is Thornton Reed is the firt episode randomly shooting his gun at nothing in particular in one shot, then in the next shot standing with his hands in his pockets next too Dagless watching him shoot then looking at the camera...And then we go back to him aimlessly shooting.

The next one is in Apes of Wrath when Dag explains what has happened extremely quickly and we just see a few stills of objects around the office while he's explaining, I don't know why but it cracked me up.

paraphrasing here:

"I've just realized we don't know each other's names. I'm Linda"

"Dr. Sanchez!"

When Dagless takes the piss out of Liz:

"Women, they get upset at the slightest thing.....Tomorrow I will tell her that she has lost weight or that her hair looks nice....whichever seems more plausible."

and

Sanchez: "She's a good kid Dag, you're too hard on her."

Dagless:"I know. I just don't find her physically attractive."

etc.

I will reiterate that basically every scene the Ayoade is in is gold.

One thing that I recently saw was the flying utensils episode.

The scene where the chef is looking for spices for the chicken.

He is rummaging through the cupboard and names random spices. Unfortunately it is hard to make out, but he says "Italian Seasoning... too vague." For some reason, this line hits me ever time.

Other than all of Apes of Wrath, I have one more moment:

During the utensil episode again, when Dean is talking on the phone, he has a five second conversation, then explains something that takes longer than five seconds to convey. He puts down the phone, waits a few seconds, then says goodbye to the phone. This has me in stitches everytime.

I'm not sure I can pick just one thing...though I always crack up at Linda's instant panda eyes

Richard Ayoade is full on brilliant with his performances

And for some reason, Dagless' monologue on the roof top in the first episode kills me every time...I almost have Linda's panda eyes after it

I'm a giddy pony-they feed me cupcakes because they taste of sunshine & happiness
