So let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet, to see the king of the potato people and plead with him for your freedom...and you're telling me you're completely sane?
Mr.Flibble was apparently a full on diva on set. Very difficult to work with. The cast and crew threatened to walk out on many occasions but knew they had to put up with him cos MrFlibble was such a big star in the UK.
Don't you all know since his guest appearance on red dwarf. It made him a multi millionaire he even bought a luxury apartment in Dubai, before it was considered cool to go there.
Rimmer's gingham dress remains a firm favourite cosplay among Red Dwarf fans to this day! 😁 Also, the Mr Flibble puppet was so adored by the production crew, a rota was put in place so everyone was allowed to take him home and keep him for a couple of days. ❤🐧
Rimmer's... insane acting would be chilling if it weren't so HILARIOUS ! And not just his, but Mr. Flibble too ! The ultimate of this is @ 12:40, "We can't possibly do THAT ! ... Who'd clean up the mess ?..." with that murderous glare on Flibble's face... I MEAN HOW DO THEY DO THAT ?... MAKE A CHEAP HAND PUPPET LOOK THAT MENACING ! ? ! HILARIOUS !
Chris Barrie’s impressions are incredible. It’s worth your time listening to the Red Dwarf audio books narrated by him. He does the voices of the whole cast brilliantly.
Back in the 90s, there was a thing called Red Dwarf Magazine, and one of they're articles was letters page hosted by Mr Flibble. No matter how much Rimmer grows (minutely) there's always a way to make him reset back to factory settings Smeg-Head mode again. All Hail the Potato King! (I figure he looks like Sean Austin)
According to behind the scenes commentary, there's always at least one person at every Dwarf convention in a red gingham dress and army boots. Usually with Mr. Flibble on the hand.
The bit with the warning signs is another classic visual gag, with perfect timing on the editing for reactions & banter / the follow up gag with the Psi- scan - very similar to the adventure game in Terrorform. Micky Mouse, we ain't even Betty Boo.
My absolute favourite episode of Red Dwarf, going from the intensely creepy horror-flavoured opening act to the now very relatable comedy of the Quarantine section to the absolutely iconic finale with Rimmer in a gingham dress, the King of the Potato People, and Mr Flibble (who is very cross). It's such a well-written episode that straddles the line perfectly between horror and comedy, and all four of the leads play the story perfectly; Chris Barrie gets a lot of praise here (and deservedly so), but I think Craig Charles deserves a lot of credit here too, his facial expression when he realises he's walked into Rimmer's trap in the WOO scene is just priceless
I had that T-Shirt aswell - the one with Lister holding a bazookoid, I wore it to death, it eventually got eaten by moths - I hope it gave them indigestion.
A few years ago I actually commissioned an artist friend of mine to make a Mr Flibbles puppet for a birthday gift to another friend of mine, a HUGE Red Dwarf fan. She absolutely loved it, and still has it now years later.
You’ll be thinking about this episode for the rest of your lives, if you’re anything like me! I still remember seeing it as a kid and not being able to go to sleep that night because I kept remembering bits and bursting out laughing! And I have a licensed Mr Flibble signed by Chris Barrie 😊
As a Dwarfer from day 1, I think a lot of people go through all the series and end up going back to the first series to watch them all again and trying to decide which is best. My experience differs from series to series but series 5 was excellent.
You can see when Rimmer contracts the virus: While he's talking to Dr. Landstrom over the communicator, she offers a riddle: _"What's dead, and dead, and dead all over?"_ Rimmer replies: _"GIve in, Dr. Fruit Loop. Do tell me."_ Landstrom then says: _"Yoouuuuuuuuu!"_ The console explodes and there is a quick flash of lightning traveling from the console to Rimmer.
Just to say, I had a really gritty day yesterday. When I managed to settle down a bit, I put on the TV and saw Stargate : Universe was on. I was about to watch it when I thought maybe it wasn't the right thing to sit through after a day like that, so I put this on instead... Cheered me up, no end... Thanks.
"That'll teach you all to be bread baskets." Has been a quote of mine for ages ages. Quarantine was one of those episodes I could always catch before I finally was able to see the full series.
The gingham dress and Mr Flibble glove puppet a major cosplay for Dwarfers. I have yet to do it, more a Lister leather jacket and a foil container for my curry
I love how you can see the virus being transmitted when Rimmer and Lanstrom are talking the radio breaks there's a spark that goes from the radio into Rimmer's head. neat little detail I didn't notice for a while.
One of my all time favourite episodes of Red Dwarf. It's interesting that the concept of the show itself was based on the idea of two people who don't get on being stuck with each other, and this episode takes that to the extreme by having three of our characters forced into a single room together. As for Rimmer, I think he's genuinely one of the most complex and interesting characters in all of science fiction. You can never fully make up your mind about him because yeah, he's a smeghead, but then you see *why* he's a smeghead, and how much better a person he could be if he only believed in himself. He's difficult to love, but impossible to hate.
OMG... one of my favorite Red Dwarfs "Quarantine"... the Boyz from the Dwarf's reactions at the start and end of quarantine are so spontaneous and genuine... it just doesn't seem scripted... it seems natural ! And Rimmer... his insane acting would be chilling if it weren't so HILARIOUS ! And not just his, but Mr. Flibble too ! The ultimate of this is @ 12:40, "We can't possibly do THAT ! ... Who'd clean up the mess ?..." with that murderous glare on Flibble's face... I MEAN HOW DO THEY DO THAT ?... MAKE A CHEAP HAND PUPPET LOOK THAT MENACING ! ? ! HILARIOUS !
This is one of my all-time favorite Red Dwarf episodes! It's so much fun on all levels, from the jokes to crazy Langstrom, crazy Rimmer, and definitely Mr. Flibble! So hilarious.
Yaaaaayyy! The Gallifrey Gals have finally met the most important character in _Red Dwarf:_ Mr. Flibble. If it had taken any longer, he would have been _very _*_cross…_*
I still have a Mr Flibble with gingham hair buns (the maker obviously mistook them from a static image with Rimmer's hair behind the puppet - long before official mech!) - always loved it and my boys like it too. Even saw a Mr Flibble on a BBC quiz show the other week as a contestant brought it in as a mascot.
Boy has this one taken on a new context in the last 3 or 4 years. Notice how Cat, while still the "dumb" one, is increasingly making astute psychological observations and "street smarts", like here where he immediately recognizes the peril of imminent cabin fever. Again, another one of the Hall Of Fame episodes. Clever sci-fi with the "positive viruses", great character comedy (as usual centering on Rimmer's weirdness), and even a Deus Ex Machina that's so funny it doesn't even feel cheap like they so often can. [And another love letter to Aliens with the Chest Burster warning sign]. "Mr. Flibble's Very Cross" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Eye, Now It's Time For You To Die" rank among the all time beloved lines. And stick a pin in the "Space Corps Directives" because this is by no means the last you'll hear of them :)
Chris Barrie as Rimmer (when a servant of the potato king) is doing an impression of a very talented actor named Donald Pleasance. He made movies in Britain and the USA, was often on TV as well, and is probably most famous for playing Doctor Loomis in 'Halloween' 1978. He had a way of being ordinary and convincing, while playing the most extraordinary characters. Worth looking up.
I would argue that his Blofeld is more well known - most of the interpretations of the archetype (including the Austin Powers' movies) are based on his performance.
The cult classic Mr Flibbles episode! Nice reaction. Rimmer’s outfit with Mr Flibbles was so popular at the Dimension Jumps and at Halloween. Not surprised there is a still merch available even now.
So many concepts in a single episode. And this is where the Space Corps Directives flip from Kryten quoting them to Rimmer quoting them... definitely the ALL TIME NUMBER FOUR BEST EPISODE. Can't wait for two weeks from now.
@@TestOfInsanity Just going with the normal ones from G&T polls etc. Personally i'm not SUCH a fan of Marooned but it's usually 2 or 3 in those polls. The others would of course be s5e6 and s6e3 without giving title spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet...
@@duncanmcrae-spencer4518 Of course, Yeah I assumed those were top two - I always forget about Marooned. Likewise, I like it, but it doesn't make my own top 5...
Back when I was in the Army, we had this hulking, huuuge brute of a vehicle mechanic in the squadron. He was the silent type, looked like a shaved ape and could drink an entire rugby team under the table. He had a "Mister Flibble" tattoo on the back of his neck. Go figure...
This is an all time great episode to me! I just love how it's both clever and very silly at the same time (all the potato king stuff is just so funny!) I also have one of the Mr Flibble puppets myself, it's so cute!
Space Corp Directives and the "Boys of the Dwarf" become recurring jokes! When Rimmer 1st appears in that outfit, I always think of an old Wendy's logo that was very similar! That outfit is wild enough, but then . . . Mr. Flibble!! My favorite times are when the cast get to be other people. One of of the BEST is still to come!
Rimmer is going to be alright. The luck virus must have worn off. Mr Flibble is one of the highlights of Season 5. Once watched, never forgotten. You will be saying Mr Flibble in everyday life, now.
The concept of things like luck and sexual magnetism being "positive viruses" is endlessly funny to me, and yet it just sort of works. Like, it makes sense, you know?
Not suggesting you both watch this as a reaction as part of your channel but more for your own entertainment: a few years back Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) made an online series called Carpool (not to be confused with Carpool Karaoke) ostensibly about electric/hybrid vehicles but his chats with his in-car guests are often funny and informative. The link below is to the edition with guest Chris Barrie (Rimmer) - enjoyable for their relaxed conversation and both’s impersonations (particularly Barrie’s) of the other main cast members. 🙂 Robert also recorded Carpools with Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat), Hattie Hayridge (Holly 2) and… Sir Patrick Stewart (Capt Picard)! ua-cam.com/video/Vb2922MPYCc/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
i think rimmer feels like they are always getting at him... for example, kryten never quotes those star core directives at anyone else, only at rimmer... so in his head, he's only righting a wrong by being pedantic and over the top etc.. i can kinda sympathise with him cos ive had the same sort of thing happen my whole life... people decide they dont like you and then they slightly pick at everything you do & say.. but no one notices cos its small tiny things non stop and they dont see all of them... but for the person its happening to it can be really annoying and adds up over time.. like when people listen to what everyone else has to say and then as soon as you start speaking people interrupt you and change the subject.. and then when u go back to trying to finish what you were saying, they then look at you like ur the one changing the subject... im guessing rimmer is kinda like that.. people always ignore him, ignore what he has to say, or interrupt him, or pick on everything he does & says and it makes him the neurotic screwed up person he is... sometimes its society's fault... so i dont think rimmer is a bad person at all... his way of acting is in reaction to a world that has rejected him non stop...
So I guess it's good news, you've got your Halloween costumes already planned and you're still in January!. Paula will need to go full gingham to keep Mr Flibble happy though...
Mr. Flibble is my favourite guest actor of the entire show. Edited to add: I once intended to make a Space Engineers video featuring the Jupiter Mining Corporation, that was half tutorial, half mockery of various details of the game. recorded the audio, started recording the gameplay... and then Keen updated the game with major changes that made some of my points obsolete. I put the audio up on youtube anyway. It features SCD #9009: crew members must continue wearing their space nappy until there are adequate toilet facilities.
Oooohhhh Gallifrey Gals!!! I've just found all episodes on BBCi Player here in the UK & I've not seen these since they where on terrestrial TV all those years ago! Great watching your reactions though 😹🤖H 🤣🚀🛸🛰
"Because the king of the potato people won't let me" was a staple excuse for any random occurrence in my household growing up.
So let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet, to see the king of the potato people and plead with him for your freedom...and you're telling me you're completely sane?
@@Helbore If there's one thing I can't stand...it's crazy people. *_HHHRRRRRRRRRRGHH!!!_*

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Flibble at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down-to-earth, and *very* funny.
I made the mistake of cutting in front of Mr Flibble in a supermarket queue once. That Hex Vision sure does sting the butt cheeks!
So glad he got over his high profile drug problems, his comeback has been a delight.
@@MetalGearN30 he was in the closet for so many years, I’m not surprised he turned to drugs.
Don't you all know since his guest appearance on red dwarf. It made him a multi millionaire he even bought a luxury apartment in Dubai, before it was considered cool to go there.
If I remember right - they needed a puppet for the script and the prop guy literally just went to a charity shop and found Mr. Flibble sat there!
Good friend of Stooky Bill
That's pure... LUCK
The random *"EUUUUUGGGGGGH!!!"* Rimmer makes at 10:39 never fails to make me laugh.
It's such a brilliant moment. I always loved Lister's awkward little face palm in response. 😂

One of the best episodes of the series.
The next day at school we said Mr Flibble is very cross, a whole lot
God I love this episode.
I have an actual Mr Flibble puppet, near mint, one of my most prized possessions 😊
That's super dope 😂 I'd love to have a Mr. Flibble puppet
Chris Barrie’s impressions are incredible. It’s worth your time listening to the Red Dwarf audio books narrated by him. He does the voices of the whole cast brilliantly.

Was it the Smegazine? Thats what it was called in Australia
@@barneysbestbuddy5472 Your right, it was.
Its the way Chris Barrie's performance is both hilarious and absolutely fucking terrifying

You know you made it as a Red Dwarf fan, when you wake up bathed in sweat screaming MR. FIBBLE!!
I had an official "Let's get out there and tw*t it" from Polymorph, t-shirt. I wore it to work and was made to wear it inside out!
I had that T-Shirt aswell - the one with Lister holding a bazookoid, I wore it to death, it eventually got eaten by moths - I hope it gave them indigestion.
I expect to see Kat and Paula fully flibbled out in new gear for next week's episode.
This was the first episode I ever saw as a kid, and I was hooked immediately.
I love the idea of a whole new generation going to Halloween parties with the Rimmer outfit. 🤗
I have been waiting weeks W.O.O. for this episode.
A few years ago I actually commissioned an artist friend of mine to make a Mr Flibbles puppet for a birthday gift to another friend of mine, a HUGE Red Dwarf fan. She absolutely loved it, and still has it now years later.

I love how if you look carefully you can see the moment Dr. Landstrom passes the holovirus to Rimmer

Easily one of the definitive Red Dwarf episodes!
I used to have an official Mr. Flibble t-shirt about 25 years ago.
The gingham dress and the Mr flibble puppet is the perfect Halloween outfit 😂
Definitely one of my favourite episodes. Barrie absolutely killed it with the spine chilling insanity

Probably my second favourite episode, not least because the phrase "Mr. Flibble's very cross" is so useful in times of stress.
Back when I was in the Army, we had this hulking, huuuge brute of a vehicle mechanic in the squadron. He was the silent type, looked like a shaved ape and could drink an entire rugby team under the table.

This is the funniest episode, IMO. Also they played a group of friends getting on each other's nerves perfectly.
One of the most iconic episodes. Next up imdbs most highly voted episode
Mr.Flibble the hand puppet what just a place holder for something else, but as they rehearsed they began to love it and kept it for the episode.
One of the all-time best episodes.

The next episode (no spoilers, naturally) is my favourite xD
Yes! I've been eagerly awaiting Mr. Flibble!
If you don't dress like Weird Al for Halloween, Mr Flibble will be very cross.
Though if you can't grow your hair out, store-bought is fine!
If you don't get to grow your hair long, you would make a convincing female Rimmer from Parallel Universe. You could hit them with the 'worm do' line.
Rimmer is going to be alright. The luck virus must have worn off.
Mr Flibble is one of the highlights of Season 5. Once watched, never forgotten. You will be saying Mr Flibble in everyday life, now.
At MCM comicon in London you always see a Rimmer and Mr Flibble
One of the greatest episodes, i used to be able recite it word for word.
The concept of things like luck and sexual magnetism being "positive viruses" is endlessly funny to me, and yet it just sort of works. Like, it makes sense, you know?
I curse my supercharged immune system on a daily basis, I've missed out on all the positive viruses.
Easily, EASILY my favorite episode of the show. Chris Barrie puts on a master class here.

Feeling so spoiled with both Red Dwarf AND Battlestar reactions right now
My favourite Dwarf is always when it has a little horror thrown in. Series 5 is when it’s at its most horror-y!
Kat is absolutely a Chris Barrie stan at this point
Such a fun episode & Rimmers alter ego is a favorite at reunions.
Along with Polymorph, tied as my fav episode.
Mr Flibble was waiting for this reaction. Mr Flibble really likes this one.
So I guess it's good news, you've got your Halloween costumes already planned and you're still in January!. Paula will need to go full gingham to keep Mr Flibble happy though...
Forget Weird Al, Mr Flibble and that dress, THAT'S your Halloween costume!
Superb episode! 2d Technician Arnold Judas Rimmer Bsc, Ssc at his unhinged best! Plus the sublimely crazed Mister Flibble, fantastic😀👍
Every Red Dwarf fan was waiting for this episode.
"Gals of _Gallifreeeyyy…"_ (with hand gestures) needs to become a catchphrase, a.s.a.p.
Probably still one of my favourite episodes. Well this and one coming later, you'll know it when you see it.
Big fan of Paula's brief look of confusion at the guacemole before immediately cutting to the reaction start
Mr. Flibble is my favourite guest actor of the entire show.

I put the audio up on youtube anyway. It features SCD #9009: crew members must continue wearing their space nappy until there are adequate toilet facilities.
This is my favourite episode, ive watched it so many times and annoyed my sons with the quote im the king of the potato people😢
The episode I've been waiting for ❤❤❤❤
Love this episode, years ago I had to get the Flibble puppet
