RIP Sean Lock.

I wish he'd have done Taskmaster, he'd have been hilarious.

I still sometimes return and watch the two Carrot in the Box videos. Absolutely magnificent for something that should be so stupid.

Also that time he went seal clubbing.

That first one was terrific.

Sean quickly getting it and then pretending like he doesn't understand the game and the grab into the empty box were amazing. Most people would just think about how to convenience verbally, but he had a whole physical act going on before he even started talking to Richard.

We missed out on the utter disdain he would've shown to Littttttle Alex Horne.

I know the Horne Section was on Countdown at least once, but I can't recall if Sean got in any quips.

It would have been painfully glorious

This is definitely funny, but don't let the conspiracy theory guys see it.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man, at least it'd make them admit we went.

You act like they aren't capable of completely contradictory conspiracies like these

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, internal consistency is completely optional.

It's too late. They're already making T-shirts with spelling errors.

The CIA killed Einstein because he knew too much

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

sadly that one's a bit too real because Einstein was an outspoken and passionate socialist, and we all know how much the USA appreciates that.

The only possible explanation.
