Black Books appreciation thread

[Airsoft-Ed]

Black Books is probably the greatest sitcom of all time, it is epically quotable and obviously hilarious.

So yeah, if you love it, let's post quotes!

 

[geoffreym]

nope, coupling series 2 is the best

 

[Hubert]

"She thinks I'm some kind of reclusive genius! She'll be really disappointed when she finds out that I'm really a reclusive w**ker!"

Yes. I love it.

Coupling is also awesome, Jeff is one of the best characters ever. I love his song...

Jeff *Watching sex tape of Susan* "Susan, susan susan susan, susan"

Susan comes in, Jeff stops singing: "Aren't you going to finish your song?"

"...I've forgotten the words" xD

"She thinks I'm some kind of reclusive genius! She'll be really disappointed when she finds out that I'm really a reclusive w**ker!"
Yes. I love it.

I quote it on an almost daily basis lol, my favourite episode is when they house sit for Freddie and drink all his expensive wine.

"How much did you say the wine cost?!"

"Seven... Thousand pounds..."

"Well I've got £3.50! What have you got?!" haha.

Well to be honest, after years of smoking and drinking, you do sometimes look at yourself and think...you know, just sometimes, in between the first cigarette with coffee in the morning to that 400th glass of corner shop piss at 3am you do sometimes look at yourself and think...this is fantastic. I'm in heaven.

Black Books is what every bookshop should be.

I would pick my favorite quote, but that's like picking a favorite BB out of a hi-cap mag...

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Don't make me laugh... Bitterly.

Fran will fail, you will toil your life away and I will die, alone, upside down, on the floor of a pub toilet.

It's just... Hey, another quote "Solid gold Manny, this is solid gold"

"...He lives..."

"This'd better be good Manny, this'd better be perfect"

"He lives... In... A... BOTTLE BANK!"

"Oooh hoo hoo, BRILLIANT MANNY, keep going"

"His best friend... Is... A... PANDA!"

"NO! NO! CHILD POISON you, stay away from the story" xD

Or when Manny runs away and Fran's asking how she can find him and Bernard goes, "Well you could become a terrible accident and happen to him"

It just is the funniest show ever, to the point where reminiscing about it, is as enjoyable as actually watching it.

 

[Flynn567]

Manny: Let's get ready to PAR..

Bernard: DON'T YOU DARE USE THE WORD "PARTY" AS A VERB IN THIS SHOP!!!

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

If you need anything, just shout... Mannymoo!

...Would you like to explain, before I turn you into A MOO CORPSE?!

 

[Flynn567]

I love the bar under the table lol

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I'd forgotten about that.

"There was a little man!"

"There was a little man - That's the code?"

"No, the guy had a little man in his hair, I got distracted!"

"Well the little man in MY hair is getting, very, very angry. What are you talking about?!"

"He had a subbuteo player in his hair, I don't remember the code"

"So what we have here, is a highly sophisticated security system that doesn't let anyone in, or out, of the shop?"

"Yes... We'll get used to it!"

"HOW WILL WE GET USED TO IT!??!"

Ahahaha, I could literally quote this show until I ran out of sentences from the episodes to quote.

 

[TheHalfLizard]

Hmmm, stay here with you and watch the thermometer or go to Frans flat and watch the walls. What an impossible decision. I guess I'll just have t flip a coin and hope it somehow explodes and I die in the blast.
