Some of the other films at the site can be a bit naughty, each clip tells what is in the film and gives a warning for the prudish (hey I'm a major prude and I found them quite tame), but WATCH ANY OTHER CLIPS ON THIS SITE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.

Cyrus, they're british so it's a different kind of funny.
I'm not sure what their beef with ID cards is though.

All right, everyone except TSA is banned. New rule for 2006, no leniency. Everyone that disagrees with me gets banned, if you disagree with my new policy, you get banned. Anyone that doesn't send me a Teddy Ruxpin gets banned. :devil:

Nah. That's WAY too strong for him. This was Mylanta. It was blue. :yuck:

I hope Ivan recovers quickly. Apparently the stomach flu is making its way around the country. De-carbonated Classic Coke works really well to soothe a distressed stomach.

BTW, the British humor is delightfully funny. :biggrin:

Arg, I get the puns, yet I am just not laughing...its really not that funny or clever to me, sorry.

I read more from the site and I still don't get what the big deal is about the IDs. Maybe I should look around a bit and post a thread in the politics forum.

I guess their humor is as good as their food. :yuck: :rofl:
 
  • #32
British Humour is by far the best form of humour because it's too clever for the average person to understand. (when i say average person i mean American.)
 
  • #33
I guess you guys need 'clever humOr. No one wants to bust out laughing with those horrible teeth you all got. TA-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (snooty laugh)
 
  • #34
How grammatically humourous.
 
  • #35
This is so cute,I had to post it again. YAAAARR!
