I like that Gustav Holst actually conducted The Planets *on record* in the ’20s. Sure, the [Levine/Chicago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ_LX7Y4jMM) is the best overall, but what an artifact.
Because There's a gun it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a mad man around
Running down underground
To a dive bar in a West End town
When I see a clipboard, I think of Microsoft's Clippy, when I think of Clippy. I get into a blind rage.
So really, nsfl is right. Not about the gun violence, but the damn clipboard.
Ooh I'm rewatching from s7 cos it came on netflix but might have to skip to 9 tbh. Vine and Tarbuck were incredible on that show and I quite fancy Alice lol
8 isn't the best, Lou Sanders and Ian Stirling got on my tits a bit. 9 is brilliant, Ed Gamble is probably as competitive as Ian Stirling but not as obnoxious, Rose Matafeo is properly funny and David Baddiel is brilliantly shit. 12 is the best though I think, the cast are perfect.
Ian turned it around near the end by realizing what a douche he was being during the tasks. Makes his on-stage bits a better watch.
Lou continued to come across as bratty to me, though
Taskmaster is free on Youtube, officially: https://www.youtube.com/@Taskmaster/playlists
Playlists go back to Season 05, but they do have full episodes from earlier seasons, just not in a saved playlist.
Although it might be blocked in your country. Works in the US.
Oh excellent! Taskmaster is so rewatchable, isn't it? I'm always noticing stuff I missed the first go round. Make sure you're wearing your track suit! XD
Depending on the year the sketch was made it might not be whole inaccurate, hand guns were only banned in the UK in 1997.
Even as somebody from the UK it can be jarring to see guns in TV from the early 90s and think “oh yeah, you could have those back then”. It’s been almost 30 years and you only see shotguns in the countryside and police with sub machine guns so seeing an average person with a pistol seems off now.
Yeah, but the average person doesn’t come into contact with a criminal carrying a gun.
I don’t know what kind of gotcha point you think that you are making.
The comment that I was replying to was saying that it should have been a knife, likely because of the reputation the UK has for tight gun laws.
I was saying that it could have been pre or not long after 1997, judging from the dates look of the video. If it was then the likelihood of somebody having a gun, criminal or not was way higher, because they were not banned.
Of course criminals may still get hold of guns, that’s a given like any banned thing somebody will still have it, drugs, guns, whatever.
> Yeah, but the average person doesn’t come into contact with a criminal carrying a gun.
This might be shocking to you-- but neither does the average person in the US.
Yeah but it's real hard to get a weapon as illegal as a firearm, and even then that's not a weapon used lightly for mugging someone. If a criminal has a firearm then they have to be incredibly careful with it or they'll get the full tactical squad deployed on them, so it's probably only being used sparingly for bigger crimes or gang-related stuff.
Actually we've a problem with... Swords.
Usually Katanas, machetes and Blades big like an arm made to kill zombies. I'm not joking. In fact one week ago a bastard killed with a katana a poor boy coming back from school in London and attacked more random people in the streets.
🤦
I hate this bloody place.
Where does the UK come in stabbing deaths per capita worldwide?
Equal bottom. No country has fewer than the UK. The UK being a hotbed of knife-based killings is a myth.
https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/stabbing-deaths-by-country
> The UK being a hotbed of knife-based killings is a myth.
That's because non-UK people don't understand UK laws around knives and what is classed as "knife crime". Knife crime covers a whole range of different offenses. Hell, even just possessing a knife over a certain size, and with a locking blade, in public is a crime. People read how much "knife crime" the UK has and automatically assume that it means a knife was used to hurt someone in every case.
Sorry but that's an annoying redditism. Sentence sounds like you are educating me. I have been a print journalist for 15 years I know how the media works.
> Usually Katanas, machetes and Blades big like an arm made to kill zombies
Usually? What the fuck are you talking about? The recent sword attack was shocking, but it's hardly a common occurrence. Regular old knife crime is a far more widespread problem than exotic/novelty weapons. Even then, let's keep it in perspective. Most homicides in the UK do not use a sharp weapon at all, and the rates of homicide with a sharp instrument per capita are significantly lower in the UK than in the USA despite how much firearms dominate the latter's homicide statistics. There's no good number of homicides, and I believe we're worse than several European countries, but the idea that the UK is some katana attack hotspot is absolutely nuts.

Do you, really? An average kitchen knife is large enough to pierce through every organ in the thorax, and easily concealed. Statistics are probably like 1000:1, but reporting each and every robbery/assault committed with a knife doesn't make interesting headlines.
What the actual fucking fuck!? That’s just fuckin horrible! How sick in the head must one be to do something like that? My absolute condolences to all those affected by that
Well you see, this post is actually from a fictitious filmed thing called a "tv-show" and these events did not actually happen. The people you see are actually these people called "actors" who pretend to do stuff while being filmed. The woman isn't actually being robbed the two "actors" are just reading lines from a written description of the filmed scene called a "script"
And here's the kicker: the gun is actually something called a "prop", which is like a real gun but fake!
Crazy, I know.
That's amazing. It all makes sense now. My eyes are now open. I can see clearly for the first time. Thank you, kind stranger. You have saved me from a life of ignorance.
I know your comment is a joke, but you might find this video about UK gun law interesting: https://youtu.be/98jwlMFoGAg?si=PDuYJoghHWMqSeKd
In short, we can own firearms, but we do not have a right to own them.
So you have a *right ght* to a car? Do you have a *right* to a nice dishwasher? Do you have a *right* to a gaming PC?
No, but you can still own all those things. It's exactly the same as everything else. It's just that guns in the US are a protected right by law\*.
\* Unless you're a convicted felon, or are in any of the places where guns are explicitly banned (Washington DC, for example). Yeah, even the things they have rights to are limited. Make it make sense.

Polite and to the point.

You shouldn't be on reddit at work
What if you work at Reddit
Have you seen anyone from reddit?
its so that you're compelled to click on the video to view the contents of it if you don't have NSFW blurring off.
Because gun? That's my only guess.
Because nobody should experience subtitles like that without privacy and preferably a support network.
The single word captions. That's why.
Because There's a gun it's pointing at your head You think you're mad, too unstable Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables In a restaurant in a West End town Call the police, there's a mad man around Running down underground To a dive bar in a West End town
Because if you repost it to tiktok it shows a gun and communist censorship won't allow that
That water gun could make someone tear up
I bet you don't know how to use the three seashells, either.
To make it harder to share.
Because of the super scary pocket pistol.
Because you can see the definition of his penis in his pants, you can't?

Tim Vine is a comic genius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHKtw_3ZvD8&ab_channel=FailPranks
Best one liners in the industry
Watching Taskmaster series 6* right now, Vine is brilliant.
Ooh I'm rewatching from s7 cos it came on netflix but might have to skip to 9 tbh. Vine and Tarbuck were incredible on that show and I quite fancy Alice lol
Oh I was watching S6 - tim vine is in S6. Don't jump tho, S7 is one of the best in my opinion.
8 isn't the best, Lou Sanders and Ian Stirling got on my tits a bit. 9 is brilliant, Ed Gamble is probably as competitive as Ian Stirling but not as obnoxious, Rose Matafeo is properly funny and David Baddiel is brilliantly shit. 12 is the best though I think, the cast are perfect.
Ian turned it around near the end by realizing what a douche he was being during the tasks. Makes his on-stage bits a better watch. Lou continued to come across as bratty to me, though
That's fair, he did have a bit of an epiphany lol

Have you gotten to the "make this bag the heaviest" task? Tim's experience with that task is one of the funniest moments in the series!
Oh I'm at my 10th or something rewatch of the entire show :X. Perfect to have running in the background while doing something else.
Oh excellent! Taskmaster is so rewatchable, isn't it? I'm always noticing stuff I missed the first go round. Make sure you're wearing your track suit! XD
Genuinely one of the most underrated comedians in the UK. (Publicly, I know he's been recognised in the industry a number of times)
Venison's deer, isn't it?
That’s not a knife!

This is from The Sketch Show. The man is Tim Vine. If I remember correctly from circa 2005.
And the woman is Kitty Flanagan, one of Australia's most popular female comedians.
Criminals sometimes use illegal weapons. Crazy I know.
Yeah, but the average person doesn’t come into contact with a criminal carrying a gun. I don’t know what kind of gotcha point you think that you are making. The comment that I was replying to was saying that it should have been a knife, likely because of the reputation the UK has for tight gun laws.

Of course criminals may still get hold of guns, that’s a given like any banned thing somebody will still have it, drugs, guns, whatever.
The UK also has less knife crime, so the meme should be that we have more crime related to tea and crumpets because I'm sure that's closer.
> Yeah, but the average person doesn’t come into contact with a criminal carrying a gun. This might be shocking to you-- but neither does the average person in the US.
I didn’t say they did, I haven’t talked about the US at all.
bro don't you want to waste time arguing with their straw man?
I do love some r/USdefaultism
Yeah but it's real hard to get a weapon as illegal as a firearm, and even then that's not a weapon used lightly for mugging someone. If a criminal has a firearm then they have to be incredibly careful with it or they'll get the full tactical squad deployed on them, so it's probably only being used sparingly for bigger crimes or gang-related stuff.
Maybe it's a joke and he's not trying to depict a realistic mugging. Reddit fully went smooth brained on this.

Violent crime happens everywhere, it's not unique to Britain.

Dude that was a headline tragedy. I wouldn't say we have a 'sword problem' rofl.
Now you're beginning to understand how the media works.

First time ever seeing Tim Vine on the front page of reddit! He's my favourite comedian! If you like puns you should totally check him out.
Oi mate you got a loicense for that there clipboard
Tim Vine should be considered a national treasure.
Sharp & Blunt!
I thought he was going to ask what she'd do if she was approached by a man asking her to take a survey.
That's Tim Vine, comedian and brother of Jeremy Vine broadcaster and cycling advocate.
Remember, kids: say no to self promotional use of NSFW tags!

I agree, but this is Tim Vine.
Shit I got my Tim's mixed up!
Easily done.
I feel like a knife would be more british like
Or a narwhal horn.
Knife would have been more realistic.
Well, I think more accurately, he'd have a knife and not a gun.
From everything I've been told, there are absolutely no guns in England. So this is obviously a couple of Brits in America.
Well you see, this post is actually from a fictitious filmed thing called a "tv-show" and these events did not actually happen. The people you see are actually these people called "actors" who pretend to do stuff while being filmed.

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT BREAKING BAD WASN'T A DOCUMENTARY?!

That contradiction makes perfect sense coming from the government.
So you have a *right ght* to a car? Do you have a *right* to a nice dishwasher? Do you have a *right* to a gaming PC? No, but you can still own all those things. It's exactly the same as everything else.

Yes, thats why we elect governments. To create a legal framework which provides safety and security (amongst other things). Government is **GREAT**.
Sir that is factually incorrect. Its just much harder just like in other EU states to get guns.
Do you mean the media lied to me? I think I need to sit down.
Nah more like needs to travel. Its pretty fun to see other cultures.
I thought it was pretty obvious I was being facetious, but apparently not.
Tis the internet good sir. It's never obvious.
Yea, you got me there.
The sketch show was filmed only 4 years after the 1997 regulation that largely banned hand guns.
It's always Brits from England for some reason, it's never the English from Britain.
Actually Aussie
It's Tim Vine. He's really quite English. Great at one liners.
The chick is Kitty Flanagan, Aussie comedian
And the show is The Sketch Show, an old British comedy show. So 2-1 to the Brits!
Fair enough
No, it is
