A clip from episode 5 of the Armando Iannucci Shows. Armando tries to convince kids not to grow up by letting them know of the drudgery that awaits. The show is available here: www.amazon.co.uk/The-Armando-I... - amongst other places.
+Eoghan Colgan I think it's because of the cliche of people's political views shifting to the right as they get older. Such an amazing sketch altogether anyway.
I remember a couple of years ago telling my then 14 year old niece how to assess the tax deductibility of the expenses of running a home office and the pros and cons of writing off equipment purchase costs through annual depreciation. She ran out of the room with her hands over her ears. Am I a bad man?
It's interesting how kids think adulthood is some kind of alternate mode of being (I thought the same when I was young). But it's not; you're pretty much exactly the same. It's just you have to physically start doing stuff that needs doing. All the time.
Must have seen this at least 20 times and only now I noticed about 2:00 there is a sign on the blackboard with what appears to be a chant lyrics: *THERE ARE FIVE PINS IN A NEW SHIRT,* *REMOVE THEM ALL AND IT WON'T HURT* *IF YOU FORGET THE COLLAR* *YOU'RE BOUND TO HOLLER* *THERE ARE FIVE PINS IN A NEW SHIRT* It's brilliant, wonder what's the backstory (I've seen all the released deleted scenes from this sketch and this wasn't included, maybe it's an easter egg?)
Someone posted it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-crYI6zwKR1Y.html I've had the DVD for years but had never seen this scene until...5 minutes ago :)
By the way (and you weren't to know this) but I don't like the abbreviated term 'lol'. I think it's saa-aaad. And aren't you forgetting about Time Trumpet? Are you imlying this generation of comics, having bourne fruit, will now wither and die. Are you the portent of doom for the great satrisits of our age? For the sake of us all I hope you're incorrect on that score, certainly.
