    I love how tight all of the setups are for everything in the episode. Not just Bernard cutting the cord on his phone, but handing a guy all the money in his pocket to go away (setting up a further problem he has to deal with later).

    • @0g0dn0
      @0g0dn0 Рік тому +12

      I caught every other setup, but the fact that Bernard had no money because he handed it all over to this guy, somehow that escaped me. I guess because I wasn’t paying attention and assumed he took it from the till.

    This is quite honestly my favorite episode, which is saying something given the sheer gold of this series.
    Bernard being taken out of his element and forced to interact with the outside world was solid gold, as were the surrounding B and C plots with Danny and Fran. Making it all better is how practically every element in the beginning of the episode fired off in a Chekov's firearm exhibition. God bless everyone involved.

    I fucking adore the slightly surreal phrases in this show. British shows have a knack for that sort of thing. Take a random object, add a verb to it, and you're away.
    'No, I'd ask you to come round and look after my small children'
    'I just caught my foot in the fridge'
    'You can't live on the mushrooms in your hair'
    'Get back in the worm'
    'I got the Queen'
    '... shave it off, nail it to a frisbee...'
    A list of them probably makes them very unfunny but I just felt the need to acknowledge their brilliance. British comedy is unmatched

    As a teen I dreamed of being Bernard. Drinking and running a book store. Shame there is no money in it. If I win the lotto maybe I will.

    The thing is: Bernard left the books outside the bookshop. They must be ruined by now. What a waste.
