Lonely guy just thinking baout things

I resisted it for weeks before becoming drawn in by its mysteries
like who's that tiny guy on the sofa between "Alison Steadman character" & husband

i was being sincere!!

like i had this exact idea for a tv show 10 years ago

aha!
it does sound like shite though

i think i would love it.

Haha, wasn't there a Monty Python sketch like this?

Gogglebox is the most depressing thing. My girlfriend puts it on and I have to leave the room.

it is an incredible show. i've only seen 2 episodes but i fully, fully understand why it has been so successful.

So basically you're watching people on tv watch tv?

it sounds sort of like an extended version of eyeball kicks' post with his desultory complaints included and we would get to see his girlfriend's facial expression after he leaves the room etc.

why do we not have this show in america

i want to watch 50-something emptynesters watch The Voice right now

I would watch the shit out of this.

it sounds sort of like an extended version of eyeball kicks' post with his desultory complaints included and we would get to see his girlfriend's facial expression after he leaves the room etc.

Yeah, that's exactly it! It is harrowing.

there are little mysteries woven in, like there's this one kid on the couch who has literally never said a single thing over like two season. and how the jackass gentleman drunk has not managed to totally alienate his wife. etc

sounds very raymond carver

it does. i like small stories with sparse plots very much.

there's something incredibly affirming about it, it's hard to explain

i'm picturing errol morris's first two films

there are loads of youtubes of it
the posh guy's face moves of its own accord

btw if you watch it please can we not have another thread about british accents cheers

righty o

german ones are fine

Gogglebox is so much better than most shows on TV, it cd've been done so wrong but somehow they got it just right

wait are there german people on it too

there's a german biker dad
omg I just discovered that Silent Jay isn't even one of them, he's the boyfriend of the german guy's daughter/stepdaughter

somebody's husband is German he either makes baffled comments about how messed up the UK is or subtle affirmations about how great Germany is

yeah Jay is the boyfriend, have often wondered if that means he walks around in them shorts

me and my sister have a running speculation about the mysterious world of Jay when this is on

do we have a thread for this?

we should have a thread for this

OK I AM WATCHING A CLIP WHERE THERE WATCHING A MAN WITH A GIGANTIC BALL.

THEY SHOWED THE BALL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f12CE9Q6AoU

the vicar is the most ilx one on there but I don't think she's anyone's favourite

wtf I can't view that clip 'in my country'

Found the German guy. Apparently he thinks *his* balls are big.

Kinder: S03E08 25/04/2014 Testicle Clip - maybe google that and you can watch it on the actual channels site?

I made a thread Gogglebox S03E08 25/04/2014 Testicle Clip

Attn Americans: when the gay dude says "I'll never be able to eat a faggot again" he means a meatball. In this context that could prove particularly confusing.

Am I the only one watching this?? I'm dying at the posh people's relief "Isn't that nice, all over now" and the lady telling her kid he had huge balls at birth (not uncommon iirc).

take it 2 the other thread

I was wondering how long that would take you.

u thraed nazi

i'm a thread activist, its v diff from being a thread fascist
