I think maybe you take him too seriously. It's basically a form of spam but it's entertaining to some. Not to me ... I'm too sophisticated in my humour. I like Benny Hill.

I liked Benny Hill...when I was a teenager.

I thought it was a rare bit of self deprecating humor (?)

paper_llama - so you never say anything dumb

I speak the truth. He played himself on the Simpsons claiming to have an IQ of 222.

You can try till the end of time to prove me wrong.......and you'll fail.

I’d find the claim more compelling on South Park.

Well, I have to admit, that the amount of self awareness you've shown, and frank honesty about the success you've had with noodles, has convinced me that you're not at all argumentative, and very much genuinely interested in the underlying issues.

You keep getting stuck on that line of thinking. It's not about convincing Noodles et al of anything, that's not where the value lies.

As for being honest...you do the same things I do, but like to pretend it's meaningless entertainment for you and that you can take it leave it. The frequency with which you "leave" and have to come back tells a different story.

Nothing personal, I think you are a good poster, and I hope you stick to your guns.

Nah, I get it, it's not about noodles at all, it's about every person who will ever come across it. You want them to be able to read your response to his nonsense.

My point is that it's rather sisyphean when your posts are the very thing causing his nonsense to be posted in the first place... take, for example, the previous two pages. I interacted with him and he posted zero nonsense. This supports the idea that he's just bored and is willing to interact in sensible ways if you give him the opportunity.

(Oh, and as I said earlier, arguing too much gives him an appearance of legitimacy, so it's better if you can cause him to not post it at all)

As for me leaving and coming back, you think it's because I'm holding on to some underlying ideals without realizing it myself... don't you think that explanation is a little too convenient for you lol happy.png I post here so frequently because I have other issues, and I mean that in a negative way. I don't have to be right all the time. I dislike how it seems you do.

Thanks, and yeah, I don't take it badly. I hope you don't take my posts badly either.

And in case I was too misleading... I don't care for bass, and I don't care for the band Red Hot Chili Peppers. I can't even name one of their songs without google's help. I don't think that bassline is iconic, and it feels a bit dirty to suggest any music that was made in my lifetime is somehow culturally significant. I was just talking nonsense. I found those songs by googling "famous basslines" and scrolling a bit.

FWIW I do like some guitarists, and occasionally watch them on youtube.

Dio - you seem to think misinformation never derives via MSM. You are truly lost in spacewink.png

Opt - I was watching Benny Hill before you were bornwink.png

I was living in Cali when South Park begin to air. Was a testing ground to see how receptive the audience was. In fact, my graduate professor showed the class an episode called Big Gay Alwink.png

Name one comic not repetitive to some extent?

It was a pretence of self-deprecation. I actually thought that Benny Hill was the most brilliant of all the 60s comics. I mean British comics of course.

Oh well, there's always next time.

Haha, yeah man, that joke with the guy behind the desk was Fred Dimblebee. Very funny... If I'd been born 50 years earlier and in another country maybe I'd have caught that one. But the oh-so-hilarious fact that if you change the first letter of a famous person's first and last name, that the audience will still recognize who you're talking about, yeah, that's comedic genius, surely.

Someone like, say, Steven Wright couldn't hold a candle to that.

This may have been the first time I saw this sketch since around 1960 when it was first shown on TV. They remade it several times with mixed success. I think this clip ... the original, was lost. I think it was this that made both my mother and me literally fall of our chairs and roll around on the floor laughing. Or maybe not but that did happen with one early Benny Hill spoof. Not very sophisticated but that had probably never been done before and any sort of effects were in their infancy. My mother and I shared a sense of humour. My younger brother and my dad shared a different sense of humour.

Ok, I laughed at parts of that happy.png

And I don't mind if the effects aren't amazing. I actually thought the setup was clever.

Sellers was born into the acting class if I am not mistaken. ??

Here's Benny Hill broken down into bits. There's not much more to him than that, which is why people quickly out grew him. Once you had seen enough knickers, feeling up women, slapping little old men on the back of the head, flatulence sounds from various objects, etc. then he kind of ceased to be very amusing.

It may be nostalgia... some things I grew up with, looking back, are pretty much garbage happy.png but I'd still watch for old time's sake, and even enjoy it too.

I notice Oppy says he liked Hill at first, but later didn't... maybe it's as simple as Oppy grew up.
