The funniest thing about this is that people at red dwarf conventions wondered why people were wearing dresses in cosplay thinking they mustve got the wrong place cos theres nothing space themed about it lol
It's that noise, isn't it. You know the one. It ties the entire scene together. Somewhere between a sneeze and a feral animal cry. "THOOOOOAUH" is the closest I can write it. That noise, plus the perfect facepalm by Craig Charles, it makes for some serious black comedy brilliance.
Easily one of the best lines ever from this fantastic series: "So let me get this straight: you want to fly on a magic carpet to see the King of the Potato People to plead for your freedom, and you're telling me you're completely sane?"
I live BritComs and that British Sass! First time I saw RD, long ago on PBS, I was laughing so much that face hurt from smiling. It is a gem. I hope the writers, actor, stage crew, etc. know how much enjoyment they gave to people all over the world.
Space Corp Directive 595: Allows you to keep people in Quarantine for a period of 3 months, however, if the people can use Space Corps Directive 699 to demand a re-screening after five days if no trace of disease is found they can leave Quarantine.
Still, one of the best episodes ever. It had everything.
IT DOESN'T HAVE MR FLIBBLE.
It didn't have the Toaster.
Abso smegging lutely

wearing gingham dresses with glove puppets 'Mr Flibble says hi!'
This somehow manages to be hilarious and sinister at the same time.

All hail Mr. Flibble and king of the potato people
I will n-*sees mr flibble and the potato people* ok I will!
I've always thought that would be a good name for a band.
Their first song should be "T-Rex Vindaloo with salad Cream"
Can’t argue with that
Love this scene even though I have seen it dozens of times
When Rimmer isn’t speaking in his annoying, weaselly voice, his deeper calmer voice, although insane, is kinda hot.
The music accompanying Rimmer talking about the potatoe King really gives them seem like a very cruel ruler
Cat is the funniest character. He has great comedic timing and always says dumb things at the perfect moment lol
When I first started watching this yrs ago I thought Cat was too.
But now my favorite is definitely Rimmer
1:25 - I wonder is Chris barrie ever got a thumbs up for saying that n keeping a straight face

I think our only hope is the potato king.
Cracks me up everytime 😂
0:51- I love how he pauses between the dress - and the army boots xD
My favourite episode and one of Chris Barrie's best performances. Brilliant.
one of the first episodes i saw, godly.
I was laughing so much, from both ends of my body, watching this 😂😂😂
Nobody:

Top British comedy
I live BritComs and that British Sass!

"Yes, but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly: 'No chance, you metal b*****d.'" ^_^
Best episode ever 😂
I remember seeing this in like 1995 in detroit. It was easy to see Canadian shows if you lived near the river
Is something amiss?
I think our only hope is the Potato King. Does anybody know where I can get a flying carpet?
1:05 How could they keep from completely losing it? 🤣🤣🤣
1:11 I think Craig is covering up a smile there.
@@minicle426 I think you're right!
How many people have rediscovered this episode in 2020
1:09. The Critical Drinker was here.
Donald Pleasence?
Thanks
The King in Yellow
2020/21 in a nutshell

We can't possibly do that...who will clean up the mess afterwards
Mr. Flibble became the Linux mascot??
The king of the patato people is my god
Where's Mr Flibble?!

Liz Truss?
Safe to say that Rimmer was never quite that insane 🤣

Chris Barrie plays some great characters in R.D..like the peacenik and of course Ace
Rimmerworld:
Rimmer, chained up in a dungeon: 'I've creates a world of weaselly, backstabbing selfish bastards'
Lister: They're you, Rimmer'
