The Proms

Just watched the repeat of Outnumbered. I seriously believe that the girl who plays Karen is the finest actor working in comedy today. :)

Agreeeeeeeeeeeed!

Nah, it's Jake (Angus T Jones) from 'two and a half men'.

And what's great is that I don't think she'll become more self-conscious a performer as she ages. She really has a natural aptitude for comedy.

That better be sarcasm.

I hope so!
I hope she carries on. A lot of young actors I've liked just end up doing the one thing and then never go back to it.

I live with a Karen from Outnumbered.

Nope, not sarcasm.

I live with a Karen from Outnumbered.

My daughter Sophie was a little bit like her a couple of years ago. Full of questions which she answered herself with her own strange sense of logic. :)

I used to write off 'Two and a Half Men' because my uni housemates would stick it on all the time and I thought 'This stuff is so easy, they go for every lame joke'. But having given it a proper go I really like the compact storylines, neat writing (can be inclined to cheesy jokes, I admit) and Jake's dead pan delivery style. He delivers lines that 99% of child actors wouldn't know how to, especially considering they give him some pretty adult themes to grasp. I always find British child actors really grate. But I'm 'outnumbered' now so I'll back off. Don't want to start an internet riot!

:)

PS Jake is better.

:D

Watching Outnumbered on iPlayer.

Have you seen the kids in Outnumbered, Giggle-o? I agree about child actors in comedy in general, but these kids are exceptionally good. Worth watching. :)
