Hurley- “Pee on my foot, just do it I’ll loose my foot if you dont!” Jin- “NOOOO, NO,NO!” LATER Sawyer- “He peed on my shirt, took my shirt out of the bag and peed on it!” DAMN JIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Thank you, boar expert" It's so funny cause Sawyer always comes up with these nicknames that are actually usually pretty clever and funny, but then he says, of all things, boar expert. XD
These old compilations never have any Scott & Steve moments! I'm starting to think they were edited in later on, like when the show went to DvD or maybe Netflix. Prove me wrong!
I have a very conflicted opinion of Lost. Even Season 1 when I was still mostly enamoured with it. I'm one of those people who obsesses over its failings, only because I was so impressed with its high points. One negative observation I would make about the show it that it is very rarely genuinely funny. There are not many uploads like this on RU-vid that celebrate its comedy, which I think is telling. Sure, its main focus is action, mystery, story, character, etc. We can't expect it to knock out a laugh a minute, like a sitcom should. But Hurley was clearly in the show for comic relief, and so too Charlie and Sawyer to some extent. The writers just didn't have enough craft in that style of writing to make those characters properly funny, in my opinion. In lieu of decent scripted gags they have Sawyer spitting out random nicknames, which soon becomes tiresome and includes some that are jarring for being quite racially offensive. Totally subjective exercise, obviously, but my trawl found only 24 strong gags in the whole of the circa 1075 minutes that make up Season 1, which is only one per 45 minutes of television. At 7:59 in the video, which is from Episode 14: Special, I think the funniest line is actually right after your clip, when Sawyer whacks Charlie back twice as hard and Charlie manages to say: "You hit like a ponce." (Although you might need to be British to appreciate the vernacular on that particular line.) The whole boar-harrassing-Sawyer interlude (Episode 16: Outlaws) is clearly a comic aside, but doesn't generate enough mirth to justify the time devoted to it. Referring to the end of your clips, if the writers had wanted an example of how to slip a good joke about cologne into a story and then get right back to the dark, tension of the piece, they should have looked to Will Graham's visit to Hannibal Lecter's cell in Red Dragon which starts with the following, taken more-or-less verbatim from the Thomas Harris novel. Lecter, looking away, sniffs at his approach and says: "That's the same atrocious cologne you wore in court." Graham replies: "I keep getting it for Christmas." Ten seconds well spent and on with the story. Season 2 (Episode 3: Orientation) has a great throw-away exchange in a Locke flashback where Helen says "I like bald guys", Locke says "I'm not bald" and Helen says "I can wait." So someone on the staff could write comedy, but it seems like you have to wait multiple episodes to get a real witty line like that out of this show.
