quoth ter’eS: Too bad the show sucks so much otherwise.
You were warned. (Though “cheesefest” may be a regionalism, I don’t know.)
If I was Max, I would have clocked the long-haired dork next to him during the commercial break.
Hey now.
Granted, improv is not Bill Bailey’s strong point, but he is a fine comic actor when working from a script, whether his own or someone else’s. Recommended viewing:
Supporting role as Vince the dealer in
Saving Grace, a British stoner flick.
Manny the accountant in the generally awful series “Black Books” after swallowing -- and
assimilating -- “The Little Book of Calm” at 4:20 into the linked video. (ter’eS, follow the video through to the end and you’ll get your wish.)
As one who does not have the time/funds/space to develop a proper quality latex headpiece, I appreciate Bailey’s budget version. Fold your fingers over your forehead, arrange your robes just right, and tell everyone you lost both arms in honorable combat.
That a Klingon Consultant is credited makes me suspect that the answers were planted, and not just in the “Mind Your Klingon” segments. The directors/producers wanted to make sure that *someone* had a correct answer for each question, and some of those questions/items were quite obscure. In spite of their behavior, the panelists were all working professionals who I think would be too busy pursuing their careers to take the considerable time it takes to become fluent in ta’ Hol.
Co-incidence that both panelists who had the answers to the translation questions represented the Ferengi Alliance? Let your varying Klingon levels of justifiable paranoia take you where they will.
