What made you laugh out loud? I was laughing most of the way through here,it's my favourite episode of series one.The prank call to Brian from Max and Paddy was really funny,as was Brian singing Wind beneath my wheels to beverly,which was sweet aswell! Brian and Jerry buying the waterbed is brilliant and i have just remembered...covered in piss!

What was your favourite part? Definately Brians dates with Beverly,the bowling alley where he falls down the side of the lane,the resteraunt with the rose(f*ck off :lol: ) and of course the paintballing-i love them!

I love that bit where there is the restaraunt and brian gets asked if he wants a rose and he says f**k off :lol:

Great review

I like this ep mainly for the lads congregated around the door and spending the night making comments and just basically standing there chinwagging!!! :D

Paddy - "No wonder they're all single -- they're all hangin'"
Max - "Who let the dogs out?"

And Jerry's line "Who said that? Oh sorry Paddy - couldn't see you wi' t'light bouncing off your 'ead!!"

There are some brilliant lines in this one!! :lol:

Ohh, and "He's coming up for parole soon and I want him coming home in style!!" Or words to that effect!! :lol:

FABBO!!!! (thumbs up)

LOVE this ep!!!!

like it when Brian is singin 'lets get it on' from his jukebox! :lol: then the video of them in america switches to the ...ermm..., well you know what i mean! :lol:
and all the dates Brian and Beverly go on are fantastic! :D
great review Gem (thumbs up)

I like that bit aswell,especially when he interrupts Beverly by just singing really loudly in her face :lol:

Just remebered, when les is getting really desperate for a woman that he's going round every table saying quotes from songs, my favourite is where he sits down and goes ' im horny, horny horny horny!' :lol: love that bit! :D

P*** off!!! ;) :lol:

Now that is funny!!!

Another fantabulous review! (thumbs up) And another crackin episode.
Sally lindsay makes an appearence in this episode as tracy and theres a bit where brian says 'they'll be draggin her out of canal monday' :lol:
Loved poor max as he was shunned by paddy chatting up holy mary's daughter, personally i'd be chatting up the mother instead! :lol:
The now famous F*ck Off to the waiter is one of the best scenes of the series! And with 'things i'm gonna do to you' puts the icing on the cake! ^_^

I love this bit where max asks jerry what he's got on and paddy says ferbreeze. Then jerry goes who, who said that paddy is that you i couldn't see you for the light bouncin off your head. :lol:

The audition at the end of this one is good -- the look on their faces when the bloke in the mac starts leaping about on stage in a novelty codpiece!!! :lol: pmsl every time!! :lol:

That bit is funny, Wasn't there an actual programme called nellie the elephant? Was the song taken from it? God i'm going years back now!

Just found this with all this talk of Nellie the Elephant -- think I prefer the codpiece!!!!! Next!!!!!

And there was me thinking it was a special version for this ep!!!!!

offt slightly -- but not really!!! ;)

God bless him, He aint a looker is he! :lol: Still a great song though! :D

What y'on about?!?!? He's a babe!!!! ;) :lol:

Awww god love you han! :lol:

Great review!

I couldn't get to answer before as for some wierd reason the episode wouldn't play it made my computer restart instead each time. My son has fixed it now so this should be fine.

I loved this episode for too many reasons I can mention

Love Marlene

Yes marlene! Thats the cartoon i was thinking of! She always had a suitcase! :lol: Top notch!

Also i was watching this episode last night with the commentary on and listen to what peter says at the start when the title music comes on, its hilarious! (lmaorolls)

This is such a sad episode, Brian finds happiness but is so hurt by Beverly that he ignores all her calls. :( And poor Max, the look he gives when Paddy is chatting up young Mary. :( Then watching how pathetic Les is with the ladies 'I'm horny, horny horny'.

Poor blokes :(

But a funny moment is when Alan is dancing with that lady and she drops all her cigarette ash on his back, hmmmm classy! :P
