at my work, I know two. By god I wish I was joking but I am not. One of those guys literally has no idea how to do his job, no clue, he's the facility manager (I'm in maintenance, as in repairing the production machines) and he calls me whenever anything happens, and every time I have to explain to him who to call (plumber, electrician, HVAC etc.). A few months back, he suddenly asked me if I can write a purchase order for him.... he has been in that job for 15 years and can't write a purchase order, I have NO idea how he managed to purchase goods and services for the extremely large facility until now. I am not even remotely in his department but since we need bloody water to produce our stuff, I had to write the order myself so we can get some goddamn water.

Here's an odd little thing. Ricky Grover, who plays Danny, was illiterate until his 30's thanks to dyslexia. On another note, his performance as Hillary in Getting On was excellent, playing against the thuggish 'geezer' type. "GET ON WITH IT!!!"

Ironically, before it was recognized that the sufferers with dyslexia could not name/see/interpret the correct arrangement of letters, they simply could not be taught how to read so, they in fact remained illiterate.

yeah... do we, though? it's a tad less funny for those of us who grew up with one or more parents who stemmed from the same hellhole that spawned him.. so: cherish the thought, just keep a firm grip on your inner Bernard at all times. Never let it run wild, unless it's a matter of life or death.

Presumably the joke being that a big tough gangster is reading 18th century romance novels. Also, a Cockney Pride and Predjudice audiobook would be quite an amusing concept, I suppose...
maybe because it is the one most recognisable line in the world? and Jane Austen is the furthest thing from anyone's mind when considering a Cockney gangster reading anything aloud? ..does it even matter?
I realize this is a British tv show and I probably won't get much in way of answer asking here. That aside, considering the racial tension in the US (and probably everywhere else in the world soon because Hollywood is the Kraken) Would dumb white farmer guy and that black dude from the ghetto be a good watch? I feel like it would be a great conversation. If anybody thinks it's a good idea and has the resources feel free, but genuinely unscripted, like all the racist tension is still there from both sides. Hard to explain in comments but neither are racist they just have their own stereotypes about the other. If you think black people can't be racist because they aren't in power, ask yourself 3 things. 1:how does Africa work? 2: what are statistics, 3:why are modern white people arguing with numbers and old white people argued with skeletons and fistfights. That last part was kind of a joke because I'm drunk, but fuckin....

The empty bullshit phrases in Fran's "presentation" were such a brilliant parody
Parody?! That presentation got me promoted!
"I'm a quitter. I come from a long line of quitters. It's amazing I'm here at all!"
This one sums me up perfectly :D
The oxymoron hiding in plain sight then pointed out in rhythmically similar fashion. It's pretty god-damn genius!
"I come from a long line of quitters" is actually a quote from Seinfeld.

Seinfeld. Just like I found a lot of Seinfeld in Community
Fran turning over the blank page at the start of her presentation is gold 😂
Bill's hair is a character all unto itself lol
' its a horse in a man costume is what it is!!
I can’t tell what I love more: The extended standing ovation for Fran’s winged presentation or Danny’s genuine childish glee and pride in the final shot.
"She's playing with fire, he's not ready for wiggly pig" Lol
Relax man its just a part we all found funny...sorry that ruins your day
It's "Nibbly Pig". But yeah, one of the best lines of the episode.
The ending is classic...reading Pride and Prejudice..hahaha.
How many people pretending to be adults like Fran pretends to know what she is doing. She truly is a legend!
MoMo K : The truth is that a great deal of being an adult is pretending to know what you’re doing.

The bath scene was very stressful to watch!
I know none of it was plugged in but I still feel like Bill is lucky to be alive.
Even off it was on there is usually gfci safety plug in bathrooms, which would pop the breaker before hurting him

I almost choked to death on my breakfast. 😆
it is truth universally acknowledged that this is the most funny tv show. Brilliant writing.
"I bet his corn flakes try to crawl out of the bowl" is such a brilliant line!
The ending is a beauty.
An Irony, a famouse first sentence, but more of a plagiarism than a beauty. . . I wouldn't argue with him though haha x ;).
Man, that was great. “ I always get woozy, before the screams start.” That would have made my blood run cold
"Who's Harry? I don't have a boat!" That delivery kills me every time.
"aaaaaaah, who's Harry? I don't have a boat".
"She's playing with fire, he's not ready for nibbly pig" HAHAHAHA
big line
Bill looks very sharp in his gangster suit
This is by far the best episode, second place is the grapes of wrath! I love the dynamic between Manny and Bernard!!
"..and he can go back to whatever semen shelter he was born in" definitely one of the top 10 meanest tings to say :D
probably Seamen's Shelter - common lodging in most seaports for sailors, fwiw
Although telling someone to go back the the sperm bank they came from is pretty mean. XD
Born in.
This show is so underrated underrated tr it's my favorite.
The step ladder used by gus was a brilliant prop
"She's playing with fire, he's not ready for nibbly pig"
Almost choked because of that line. Why the writing in this show is so good?
Rob is really great in this^^
Im amazed fran drew a perfect circle in her presentation hahahha 15:50
that meeting is the best meeting ever lol
What happened to Fran's shop? It close because she was never there, so now she's looking for a job?
Maybe it doesn't get customers
Maybe it doesn't get customers

Rob Bryden's impression of Michael Caine was sneaking through when he was yelling into the telephone.
She was only 16!
He was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.
Its insane how many adults dont know how to read.
Also benard sounds like a husky when he cries.
This show has made me realize that I love my thumbs too! 😂
I've watched the scene at 7:19 a million times. It still cracks me up and i still cant understand what bernard did with that crisp thingi XD
Poppadom.
watch at 0.25x speed. very fun!
You now have me obsessed.

Dyslexia doesn’t make you illiterate.
It can do if you never learn and people give up on you. Tough upbringings and all that.

Bonus for the use of "drongo".

That last scene - I'm dead
i was at work the other day and i had been sitting for quite some time. finally got up and fixed myself and my pants and thought of the 6:30 guy.
if in doubt, imagine your boss standing there watching you.
so: adjust your fleshy parts in the stalls, like the humans do.
Not in full view of the entire office.
We teach our daughters to act wit dignity, not to pee in the streets and not to adjust their knickers when standing among people..
why do we forget to teach our sons the same basic decorum?
Best show ever maybe ...we all want to be Bernard
yeah... do we, though? it's a tad less funny for those of us who grew up with one or more parents who stemmed from the same hellhole that spawned him.. so: cherish the thought, just keep a firm grip on your inner Bernard at all times. Never let it run wild, unless it's a matter of life or death.

This is great.
Hahaha he read the first line from Pride and Prejudice
If I remember right, brown bread means dead, boat (race) means face but what does Harry stand for in Cockney rhyming slang?
spread your man muck on someone's face. Comes from the rhyming slang for Spunk (Harry Monk) on the Face (Boat Race). Urban dictionary
I never knew the actor that played Danny was the voice actor for Yagnus in Dragon Quest VIII.
