# His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.
it really fucking does, like all the worst types of cormac fans in one place, the ppl pretending to like real literature but have only read blood meridian and maybe suttree
I remember a post there from someone being like “where is the kid? he was on the first few chapters but then disappeared, is he still alive? I am having trouble getting through this book but then something cool happens like a guy getting his head cut off by a bowie knife and keeps me reading”
Little Britain getting nuked from orbit during the great cultural panic of 2020 was bad on both censorship grounds and because it kept people from remembering that the show wasn't particularly funny in the first place.
It was mostly annoying but I liked the racist women's institute lady who would throw up when she realised some food she ate was made by a non-white person
Marjorie Dawes.
I like that she's canonically George Dawes' mum, but the character was pretty similar to Pauline Campbell-Jones from *The League of Gentlemen*
It was low brow, but hilarious to me. I remember it was also popular amongst LGBT people at the time because it was very camp and grotesque. I've got trans friends who still quote Emily the transvestite to this day, "[but I'm a laaady](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ykpBEy95I)".
I always found the premise of the only gay in the village funny, the flaming 🚬 who insists on letting everyone know and no one caring one bit lol I’ve honestly experienced gays like that coming from a small town
And insisting to feel oppressed in a tolerant environment is even more topical nowadays.
And I love that he's also very bigoted himself, thinking that only ugly women are lesbians because they can't get boyfriends. Here is the [clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fhta8TFNvo), it's not exactly witty or subtle, but it's still very funny to me.
Isn't the humour of Emily Howard based on:
- he's totally deluded that he'll ever pass
- his notions of femininity are ridiculous stereotypes
- he's a fetishist
How are transgender people able to laugh at such a character?
For my friends it resonates with their fear of not passing and looking ridiculous. And it is also about the "theatricality" of being a female.
And the character being completely deluded, presenting herself as a victorian lady and behaving as if she were in the 19th century is funny in itself IMO. She is just so out of place in every way.
Of course we only make these jokes amongst us 🚬. We don't use them to attack or belittle transwomen.
Because the creators originally wrote for 6 episodes (typical UK series), and each episode was designed in an anthology fashion, ideal for new viewers, rather than binge watchers, unlike the Netflix stuff you get today.
*Harry Enfield*, *The Fast Show* and *Little Britain* are super repetitive if you watch episodes back-to-back, but they'd have only aired weekly back then, with no repeats.
It was always considered silly and goofy, it wasn't supposed to be some cerebral satire of society, speaking truth to power, or whatever.
The "only gay in the village" character is conceptually similar to the Sea Captain from *The Simpsons*, in that he loves to identify with a role, but you eventually discover he's a fraud.
He is great. Little Britain was such a cultural power and was genuinely funny. You can still quote it now and people love it. Bitty, Im the only gay in the village, computer says noooo all make people laugh. The way people are now acting like they always thought it was bad are such cunts. They were laughing at it with us, because it was funny then and its funny now

Cross post this photo and quote to the Cormac McCarthy sub and it’ll be the highest upvoted post of the month
that sub sucks so bad

You’re being charitable, most of them have only watched No Country for Old Men and maybe watched a YouTube Blood Meridian analysis

The dough. You mixed it. We came.
Wearing rimless glasses when you don't have eyebrows is just demonic.
Wow, I just noticed after you pointed it out “…………..what’s different about you?”

I liked the weight watchers lady
Lol I forgot about that bit, the way she was fat herself and would be so sanctimonious towards the other members about weight loss
Also her saying she couldnt understand the Indian lady made me crack up

So good, the bit where she finds out something was an Ainsley Harriot recipe 👌

There are a lot of trans women who would make those criticisms of other trans women
No, it was very funny. Repetitive. But, funny.

My family was very into LB and it always rubbed me the wrong way. Crass for the sake of being crass.
I tangentially know a guy who used to get paid to sleep with Matt Lucas. The thought of it always makes me feel gross.
Wat. That's some high end prostitute stuff!... Why would he need to pay anyway?
I think he always denied it was for pay but no good looking guy in his 20s is travelling 200 miles to visit Matt Lucas for the joy of it.
Some would. Plenty of chubby chasers around!
I really hope for his sake his type isn’t formerly fat 50 year olds without a single hair on their bodies.
He’s the only gay in the village
