I actually find Jake to be the worst thing in Two and a Half Men. He is the sole reason I don't watch it much.
I do hear he's got better with age, but that's the point about Karen, she's naturally amazing, with no training.
What are you watching on TV? Page 897
They didn't make the younger kids in Outnumbered learn a script, but roughly told them what to say and let them improvise a bit. It seems to work!

Soooo misguided. What you're trying to say is Jake was much better as a child because they weren't feeding him the shit lines they are now. And then of course you'd be agreeing with me which what most board members aspire to of course.

Eh?

What I'm saying basically is the exact opposite to you. Which is what you now believe to be true. I've watched Derren Brown. I can do this.
You'll need to be a bit gayer.

Errrgh. I'm standing on a battlefield. Lot's of shooting. I don't appear to be very tall. F**king hell! Where did all those Prussians come from? Runaway! Runaway!
Excellent, it works. You believe you're Danny Cohen. Ha ha ha!
Now where is Dolly...?
Quote: Tim Walker @ August 8 2009, 11:39 PM BSTHave 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.
I must admit Timothy, I've been a naughty boy and haven't ever seen this 'Outnumbered' programme of which you speak. But I tend to avoid things like this like the plague because I have a crippling allergy to tweeness. Additionally British child actors have been responsible for ruining a fair few things over the years (see Freddie Highmore - Spiderwick Chronicles imdb - people have been pretty vicious on the discussion board). But I shall suspend disbelief and give it a go at some point, when I have some modern British comedy antidote nearby.
(PS My name is Adam, I say this because I feel like a complete gimp - probably rightly so - when people call me by my anonymity affording forum name)
Thumbs up
Well, Adam, this programme certainly isn't twee, Adam. It is the antidote to twee family sitcom in fact, Adam. Will be interested to hear what you make of it, Adam.
Cheers Adam,
Tim (not Timothy please. Only my mother and my highly-paid piss mistress get to call me that).
Adam, waaaaaaatch it! You'll thank us in the end.
Iron Man
Why, thank you very much, Dolly.

Uh-oh what have I started?! But I thank you Tim (not Timothy) for the reccommendation. A little boy once reccommended this programme to me when I was standing in a Chinese take away, he looked up at me (not very far, because I'm a bit of a short arse) and said 'have you ever seen this? I like it'. That was one of the most incidental pieces of information I've ever given. Thanks to you too Zooo.
PS Remember it's Adam not Madam, Badman, Batty man, Giggloser or anything else - get it? got it? good.
