    salad creme is more like mayonnaise with the texture of tomato ketchup and a taste that is more like a ketchup than mayo. YOu kind of have to experience it. It was almost removed from sale a few years ago (because nobody was buying it) but then there was a public outcry. It isn't actually as awful as it sounds with chips. You would *never* eat it in a sandwich or with actual salad though.

      Salad Creme is much thinner than Mayo and absolutely vile! It used to be that we English thought of Mayo as French and so Salad Creme was more popular despite how utterly horrid the stuff is.

    • @apex2000

      Also like Mayonnaise Salad Cream is made with eggs and also tends to dry out slowly if gets too warm. So storing it in a fridge can prolong it's self life. I personally keep my bottle of Salad Cream in the fridge.
      As for taste, I guess Mayonaise + Lemon Juice or White Vinegar? (although different brands have different recipes that affect the taste)

    Commenter Simon Q made up a more “honest” version of the Rimmer song on another video of the Rimmer Experience. I give him full credit, but I thought Cyborcat and my fellow Red Dwarf fans would enjoy.
    If you’re in trouble he will flee and squeal
    He’s weak and he's spineless, come what will
    His level of incompetence is quite unreal
    He’s Smeghead, Smeghead, Smeghead Rimmer
    Of stress and strife, he is the bringer
    He'll wear your patience ever thinner
    He will put you through the wringer
    He’s Smeghead, Smeghead, Smeghead Rimmer
    He’s an even bigger square than Seymour Skinner
    He’ll make a frowner of a grinner
    He will never be a winner
    Master of the phoney camaraderie
    He’ll swiftly squash your prospects of joy and glee
    How come he’s such a tosser? It’s a mystery
    He’s Smeghead, Smeghead, Smeghead Rimmer
    He's also a fantastic fibber
    His lightbulb couldn’t get much dimmer
    How I hate to hear him blither

  • @fat1fared
    @fat1fared 7 років тому +11

    I think that Lister's affection for Rimmer is true throughout all of it. They loved to hate each other, but the love was there, and so Lister does feel a little lost without him.
    As for the hokey look of everyone in the song... this is based on Rimmer's memories, so everything is glamorised like a bad opera or stage play.

    8:20 - The day spent filming this was nicknamed "Black Wednesday" by the cast. It was an awful day of filming where everything went wrong and their patience wore very thin indeed. Retake after retake, and the cast were totally pissed off by the end of the day. Danny John-Jules said the tired faces seen on them sitting in the ride seats was real. They hated this day.

  • @mrdoctorgilmore

    Kind of a nit pick but in the flashback on red dwarf they have Rimmer in the wrong uniform. I now at some point during filming this season Chris wore the red uniform so I don't know why they didn't use it for continuity.

    I'll be honest, I've gone through this entire series (yours, I've done RD many many times now) and I came so close to commenting "oh man I loved this episode, this was one of my favourites as a kid, this bit was my favourite" etc.
    But I swear nothing cracked me up as hard as the entire Rimmer Experience from start to finish, the make-up, shoddy acting, the way everyone is super cheesy and positive towards Rimsy, and of course that song, holy crap I can't explain how much I love this episode for the ending section alone.

    • @Edax_Royeaux
      @Edax_Royeaux 7 років тому

      If that was the case, they failed. Kryten looks like an animatronic because he has a plastic face. The other looks like their wearing women's makeup. Maybe that's the joke? But Rimmer looks like he's wearing women's makeup as well. Honestly, if they were trying to go for an animatronic look, it would have been way funnier if they used cheap animatronics dressed up as the crew.

    The 2 Kochanski seasons get too much hate. Actually, some fine episodes amongst them, (even if as a whole aren't my favourites seasons) - although some of my favourite episodes such as 'blue' are among my top ten favoutite Red Dwarf epsiodes. It really is tough following Chris Barrie as Rimmer but Chloe Annette did a great job playing Kochanski. There is no Red Dwarf season I hate - although some I adored more than others.
    On the subject on salad cream - I love it as a subtitute for mayo mixed with tuna in a sandwich. I have to say I agree with Kryten with keeping it in the fridge.

    @MrMortull 7 років тому +1

    "Which goes about as well as you'd expect..." Is this deliberately becoming a catchphrase, or is it just a thing that's happening? It's slowly getting more and more chuckles out of me so I'm not complaining.
    I was maybe twelve when this series first aired and Blue sticks in my mind and I don't know whether it's because it was a good Rimmer episode, a half-decent *Lister* episode or just because the Rimmer Experience song is one of the most memorable things to come out of the show. Right up there with Tongue Tied if you ask me.

  • @Baeraad
    @Baeraad 7 років тому +7

    My best guess is that the uncanny-valley-ness of Rimmer's memories are supposed to add to the cringiness of it. It's Rimmer's head, *of course* everything isn't just an egotrip but a *shoddily crafted* egotrip at that!
    Also, here's a question that has never occurred to me in my life before now: are you in fact not supposed to iron bras? Lifelong bachelor here, only ever ironed my own clothes.

    • @Cyborcat
      @Cyborcat  7 років тому

      LOL. Nope, they tend to be fragile, so some of them can't even be machine washed. Not to mention that the shape is too awkward, like Kryten said. Plus they're made to stretch, so any wrinkles it might have would straighten out when it's put on anyway. At the very least, *I* can't imagine anyone ironing one.

    • @3122tan
      @3122tan 5 років тому

      My god WHY would you need to iron a bra? First of all, there's nothing on them that gets creases in the first place, due to what they're made of. Secondly, they sit tight on the body and any 'creases' would be flattened out anyway. Thirdly, do you iron your underwear? Why? That would make more sense than a bra, as would ironing a sock.

    @kate_cooper 5 років тому +2

    Sorry to have to tell you this but the most likely reason the kiss is so short is that in the 90s, the BBC weren't allowed to show same sex couples kissing for more than a second. Even though this one was played for comedy, it would probably have still counted. Things are different these days, of course.

    • @callinater6133
      @callinater6133 4 роки тому +2

    I liked Blue and found it to be funny. I thought that Kryten mellowed quite a bit and does not have that annoying squeak in his voice he had in Ouroboros or in Duct Soup. Also Kochanski had some great moments. One of my favourite parts is when she asks Kryten if he knows how to get a bottle of sour cream out of an android's rectal cavity.
    There is one major thing you did not mention. I have the DVD set of Red Dwarf from Seasons 1 - 8 and Back to Earth. The Season 7 Collectors booklet says to watch out for "Blue in Blue". If you haven't caught on, I will explain this clearly:
    Lister mentions about the time he and Rimmer had on Red Dwarf with the lockers. The time on Red Dwarf was when Rimmer was a soft-light hologram. He would have been dressed in either green, red, or grey. He only was dressed in blue when he became a hard-light hologram when they met Legion in Season 6, when they were on starbug and lost Red Dwarf. That is a major inconsistency.
    In spite of that, Blue was a good enough episode to recommend.

    I've been watching through Red Dwarf for the first time ever and have just finished season 8. It's really strange how the writing in different seasons can go so up and down. I found season 7 awful, so many changes in it annoyed me. Kryten went from being a complimentary addition to the team and funny character, into being a really annoying, whining git. Rimmer was gone for the most part. And it went from 4 clueless blokes flying in space having a laugh and having a good time winding Rimmer up to now having a smartass intelligent serious person in the team, who doesn't like the team. Best part of the whole season is The Rimmer Experience, and that's pretty much it.
    However then Season 8 changed everything and is absolutely insanely awesome, possibly the best season of the lot maybe. It changed so much, I actually thought Kochansky was played by a different actress. Because I went from hating her character in series 7 to loving the character in series 8. Shows what a difference good writing can make. She actually has some of the best lines in the series and has some really great jokes this time.
    I've found this to be the case for all seasons, the writing styles can be awesome one season and mediocre for another. It's crazy but somewhat adds to the charm of Red Dwarf. It's such a cobbled together low budget show, I think all these factors are what make it appealing to the fans.
    I've never seen a programme like this. It's smegging awesome.

    Funny moments, but never as good as series 1 - 6.
    What saddens me about this series is that they didn't have a studio audience and used the excuse of "more elaborate sets". Come on! Red Dwarf wasn't about elaborate sets, it's about being funny. The series suffered and I think this was when Rob Grant left.
    Still funny from time to time, but overall, it just lost the funniness but gained better sets and effects. Sadly, this was the wrong way around.
    It got worse when they brought in Kotchanski. Sadly, the character was about as funny as a dishcloth. A different actor and a stuck-up snob. Not the actor's fault, obviously, it was the writing. And the departure of Chris Barrie. The concept of 3, then 4 lonely, sad, pathetic guys went out the window.

    If you're in trouble he will save the day
    He's brave and he's fearless come what may
    Without him the mission would go astray
    He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
    Without him life would be much grimmer
    He's handsome, trim and no one's slimmer
    He will never need a zimmer

    Yeah it's a toss-up between this and Stoke Me A Clipper for my favourite S7 episode (no surprise they are both Rimmer-centric).
