For the lazy posts are hands-down one of my most favorite things about redditors. Please stay awesome and have all my upvotes.

[–]Stickguy259 36 points37 points ago

I'm kinda surprised there isn't a "ForTheLazy" novelty account out there...

[–]FarmerTedd 25 points26 points ago

I'm bet there is now.

[–]ArcOfSpades 27 points28 points ago

You am?

[–]FarmerTedd 22 points23 points ago

Sigh yes

[–]ryumast3r 5 points6 points ago

Owning up to your mistakes: Worth more karma than a pun thread.

[–]IlikePez 2 points3 points ago

Too much work.

[–]timmeh87 1 point2 points ago

Too lazy

[–]nolamunchkin 4 points5 points ago

Awesome! Saw this earlier today - you made me even more lazy. I didn't have to look for it! /fist bump

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I prefer the term laid back over lazy.

[–]Miekzor 0 points1 point ago

Thank you. This is the only reason I loaded the comments.

[–]Mattyman01 -1 points0 points ago

I AM HIGH AND APPRECIATE THIS GOOD SIRE.

P.S. sorry if it's bad grammer I'm high

[–]lugubriosity 67 points68 points ago

Always an upvote for Yes Minister. British comedy at its finest.

[–]wotutalkinabaaat 25 points26 points ago

I'm nit picking but it's yes prime minister. The episode whee he finds out that his predecessor has just died

[–]Coriolanus 0 points1 point ago

i am really sorry, but i've just gone to my shelf of dvd's and there it says "yes minister", no prime, maybe you meant that an episode was called "yes prime minister"?

[–]Coriolanus 8 points9 points ago

TIL the sequel, Yes, Prime Minister, ran from 1986 to 1988...

[–]greytrench 10 points11 points ago

TIL I have a whole new set of Jim Hacker comedies I get to enjoy

FTFY

[–]n343 0 points1 point ago

well that truth was a little inconvenient.

[–]losher8 2 points3 points ago

Boys, boys, let's calm down now. BOTH of you are right.

[–]magicbullets 1 point2 points ago

Brits love pedants. It's what keeps us on our toes.

Cup of tea?

[–]daielquon 6 points7 points ago

I know, as a Brit I was pleasantly surprised to see a British sitcom on the front page. Especially one so few of my fellow Brits have seen. ಠ_ಠ

[–]RobSamson 4 points5 points ago

It's rather big in the Czech Republic, as I discovered at a fancy dress party in Cesce Budejovice. I asked two guys in suits what they came as and they were Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey Appleby!!

[–]Toenails100 3 points4 points ago

Sir Humphrey is my hero.

[–]themann87 2 points3 points ago

How very brave of you !!

[–]Toenails100 1 point2 points ago

Oh no, really? Now I'm not so sure.

[–]losher8 1 point2 points ago

You mean ole Humpy?

[–]Scott_MacGregor 1 point2 points ago

Smashing.

I'd go so far as to say best political comedy series ever made.

[–]Uncle_Matula 0 points1 point ago

Some of the Chris Langham 'The Thick of It' episodes come close, but that show's really gone of the boil. They could at least bring back Jamie, his actor never hurt anyone.

[–]I_am_not_angry 24 points25 points ago

"Yes minister"

[–]ToastyassGusta 15 points16 points ago

Very droll, Minister. Very droll.

[–]AFatDarthVader 4 points5 points ago

Is that...a young Emperor Palpatine?

[–]fowlkris87 3 points4 points ago

Agree. Both awesome and soul-deadening.

[–]lisabadcat 3 points4 points ago

If I wanted this haircut, what would I tell my barber?

[–]Coriolanus 3 points4 points ago

oh i looove "yes, Minister"!

[–]notwherebutwhen 4 points5 points ago

I am so glad that my searching skills are good enough to find the video. I was not disappointed.

[–]_magnitude__ 6 points7 points ago

POP POP

[–]dreinn 2 points3 points ago

THHHBBBTTT

[–]ShitRandyHates 2 points3 points ago

Oh, shut up, Leonard. I know you wear prescription socks!

[–]pieguyfry22 5 points6 points ago

These three comments make me feel like I'm listening in on a hospital's psychiatric ward...

[–]typewriter_ribbon 2 points3 points ago

One of the greatest shows ever. For the uninitiated - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNKjShmHw7s

[–]Favoritism 2 points3 points ago

Let's put a comment about a thread in its own thread.

[–]holtzapplea 1 point2 points ago

I had that same reaction watching Borat.

[–]EminGH 1 point2 points ago

I couldn't read that thread, the holocaust jokes brought back memories of my grandfather who died at Auschwitz. He fell off the guard tower.

[–]KeegoTheWise 0 points1 point ago

That seems to be a common occurrence.

[–]EminGH 0 points1 point ago

Yeah yeah yeah, Leno did it first...

[–]s0crates82 0 points1 point ago

i remember that guy as an irishman in a cargobay getting drunk on bloodwine.

[–]dreinn 1 point2 points ago

This is Paul Eddington in an episode of Yes, Prime Minister. I'm not sure who were thinking of (presumably Colm Meaney), but Mr Eddington has never appeared in Star Trek.

[–]greytrench 1 point2 points ago

Perhaps he was thinking of the TNG episode where Barrie Ingham played the inebriated father. Not Paul Eddington, but closer than Colm Meaney...

[–]s0crates82 1 point2 points ago

one minute. dang.

[–]withoutahat 0 points1 point ago

Not that it's of consequence, but I thought the actor might be John de Lancie. He played Q in Star Trek.

[–]s0crates82 0 points1 point ago

Nah, I was thinking of Barrie Ingham in Up the Long Ladder. My mistake.

[–]iamaguynamedrobert 0 points1 point ago

My favorite was, "what's the difference between jelly and jam?" ...

[–]TARDISeses 0 points1 point ago

Never really got into that series, more of an Only Fools and Horses chap. But this guy seemed like a mix between Colin Firth and Emporer Palpatine

[–]pasta_of_muppets 0 points1 point ago

I realised halfway through this gif that I was making the same expressions with my face.

[–]amassingham 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for Yes Prime Minister.

Still scared to hear they're remaking it. shudder.

[–]RikF 0 points1 point ago

You jest? Surely you jest? Please, tell me you jest.

[–]RikF 0 points1 point ago

Arse.

[–]RedditingMyLifeAway 0 points1 point ago

Great .gif, what is it from?

[–]DanielPhermous 0 points1 point ago

Yes Minister or Yes Prime Minster (the second is the sequel to the first). Bloody awesome English comedy.

[–]RedditingMyLifeAway 1 point2 points ago

Sweet! Huge fan of English comedy, from Monty python, to black adder, to fawlty towers, to are you being served. I'll have to check it out.

[–]dubdubdubdot 1 point2 points ago

It's a lot brainier and the comedy more complex than Monty or Blackadder, but I'm sure most non Brits who enjoy British comedy would like it.

[–]binarypower 1 point2 points ago

Mr Bean, Top Gear (I think it's pretty damn funny), Little Britain, The Office (original), Life's too short... damn, the Brits have a good taste in humo(u)r

[–]RedditingMyLifeAway 0 points1 point ago

Love Top Gear, not so fond of the US version, it seems really staged. The Office, eh, never got into it (either version). Ricky Gervais is hit or miss for me. And I really like Steve Corelle, just not in the office.

[–]RedditingMyLifeAway 0 points1 point ago

Love Top Gear, not so fond of the US version, it seems really staged. The Office, eh, never got into it (either version). Ricky Gervais is hit or miss for me. And I really like Steve Corelle, just not in the office. But I like Rowan Atkinson across the board.

[–]brodie21 0 points1 point ago

The one about the oysters made me dry heave.

[–]SoakedTiger 0 points1 point ago

Yup, spot on.

[–]whisk3rs 0 points1 point ago

Also: reading the "The most WTF GIF you've seen" thread.

[–]0bfd 0 points1 point ago

Yes Minister this is indeed fantastic

[–]whittler 0 points1 point ago

Can I get a count on racist jokes in there? Jeez!

[–]FishBonePendant 0 points1 point ago

What's the only organ inside a girl that stays warm after death?

My dick

[–]c53x12 0 points1 point ago

Put silver hair on that guy and he could be Roger Sterling.

[–]gender_bot -1 points0 points ago

I identified one face in this photo

Face 1:
* 85% confidence that this is a correctly identified face
* Gender is male with 74% confidence
* Persons mood is angry with 19% confidence
* Persons lips are sealed with 85% confidence

Would you like to know more about me? /r/gender_bot
