He's almost cute in real life.

He looks human and everything.
It's Bizzarro! Now I just need to see a photo of Johnny Vegas with a six pack and my head will explode.
Aaahhh here's the 30 Rock thread. I was expecting it to be in sitcoms.
ANYWAY. 30 Rock is my ultimate favourite sitcom ever, and Tina Fey is my idol. I think I mainly love her because she has my brain. Not like in a jar or anything. We're brain twins.
Finished the fourth season of this too; I'd heard it was a notch down on what had come before, and to be honest, I think that's probably right. Still great, but perhaps not quite at the level of the first three across the whole season. Opinion seems to have changed during the fifth though, which has been getting great write ups again, and I'm looking forward to getting that.
Oh, Julliane Moore was baaaad. I take it that ripe Boston accent was supposed to be over the top, but it got annoying quick!
I liked Michael Sheen's character.
Anyway, fourth season, still top stuff, but a little shaky at times. Roll on season 5!
Yes, her accent was majorly annoying.
Loved Michael Sheen.
I don't like seeing English people in American Sitcoms using words or phrases that we really don't use in that way or at all anymore

That was supposed to be a joke though, wasn't it? That he ws using these weird words that obviously weren't real??
I've just finished watching this. Great stuff again! Ace.
That is all.

If you want to hear a bad accent wait until you get a load of De Niro's one line in season 5.

Ah maybe it was, I didn't realise.
But it does seem to happen in other US shows quite often.

It was certainly supposed to be a joke.
The reverse is true; I've seen "American" characters in British comedy saying things we don't say. It's very hard to 100% correctly capture a foreign vocabulary... I know the esteemed Stephen Fry got one wrong on the 24 Hour Panel People Q.I. when he declared American's call Tadpoles Pollywogs. That maybe true in some Mark Twain novels or maybe regionally in contemporary America... but everyone I know says Tadpoles and if you watch a nature shows they'll use Tadpoles.
I thought that seemed unlikely!

Ha! That too.

So than I'd be right in saying British people call tadpoles pollywogs? That is a .co.uk site.
