look if matt berry doesn’t Laszlo-ify every single name he announces at the oscars, we riot

you just know he’d somehow turn timothee chalomet into the purest thirteen syllables you’d ever heard

like a fucked-up sound bath that instantly heals everything that’s wrong with you

come on 2026 i medically need to hear this
@beep The closing track in One Battle After Another hit so perfectly it killed me in the best way possible
@cory Ach I haven’t seen it yet! Need to fix that, maybe this weekend
@beep It absolutely deserves all the praise it's been getting
@cory @beep ha ha, Matt Berry doing the Oscars, yeah pull the other … wait, what? This is REAL?! OMG.
@lloydi @cory IAN I KNOW
@beep @lloydi This is the part where I get in trouble for not knowing who Matt Berry is
@cory @beep @lloydi my brain is telling me it's the boss from IT Crowd. Is it?
@sarajw @beep @lloydi That's what Wikipedia is telling me. For as much as I use those gifs in Slack I have no excuse for not having watched it.
@cory @beep @lloydi even though one of the writers is an absolute shit head and there's the odd uncomfortable joke in there - they are very good.
@sarajw @beep @lloydi The last British comedy I watched was Father Ted (which likely hasn't aged well), so I’m probably due for another. I've heard plenty of good things about What We Do in the Shadows too.
@beep @cory @sarajw Yes! And it’s all true. Also the original movie that came before the TV show. Soooooo good
@lloydi @beep @sarajw I'll have to queue them both up after I finish my 90s X-Men cartoon rewatch. 🤓

@cory @beep @lloydi Father Ted can get away with it - but the arsehole writer is the same one as wrote the IT Crowd! I am mad that this guy who was so funny has become so poisonous. Anyway. If you liked Father Ted you'll enjoy IT Crowd. Also Black Books probably.

Yes I heard good things about Shadows too but never watched any!

@sarajw @beep @lloydi Awesome! I haven’t heard of Black Books, but I’ll take a look. My best friend in high school and I had Father Ted on quite a bit, so it’s been a good twenty plus years.
@cory @beep @lloydi Black Books also features two of my favourite comedians - Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey.
@sarajw @cory @beep @lloydi Seconding Black Books. It’s definitely up there with Father Ted.
