Meh.
I watched the first two episodes, and laughed maybe twice. This is odd, because I usually like comedies by the Brits, Aussies, and Kiwis. I like their dry humor, but on this show perhaps
it's a bit too dry.
I know I'm in the minority here because the show is highly rated, but that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.
π
Maybe it's not your style, this show makes me laugh hard. I love the awkwardness of it all.

A lot of people did as evidence by its high rating on IMDB, but chocolate and vanilla.
π
chocolate and vanilla.... Yes those are two flavours of selections of choices
share
Well mostly they're two flavors of ice cream.
π
Then you have the white chocolate. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
share
I know!!
π
It's delicious
share
Yes it is, especially in cookies with macadamia nuts.
π
You mean like subway has.
share
Well yes, but I was actually referring to the ones at the Blue Chip Cookie Company.
π
Never heard of them. I bet they are in a small town. Do they make fresh baked home style cookies for hard working American peoples?
share
Yes they are, and yes they do.
Btw, out of idle curiosity, what country are you from?
π
I figured. I have never seen that particular product on my grocers snack and cookie self in the snack and cookie isle.
I am in Canada
Excellent. Canada is a great country. My late father served in the First Special Service Force in Italy in WW II. It was a joint US Canada unit. Its patch is a red arrowhead with USA CANADA in white letters. They made a movie about it called "The Devil's Brigade".
The Germans gave them that nickname because they were terrified of them.
On a side note, if you've ever seen the movie "Inglorious Basterds", Brad Pitt is wearing a FSSF patch on his left shoulder in one scene.
π
Yes Canada is an awesome country to live in. I love my city and would never live anywhere else. I have everything I need. I watched a ton of Olympics this year and it was awesome
share
So what did you think of the USA's big upset gold medal in curling?
π
I was stunned. Curling is supposed to be a gold medal Canada has locked up.It was a huge disappointment here, much like the woman losing the gold medal hockey game. Those two sports are kinda what Canada lives and dies by. Although Canada won some awesome snowboarding medals.
share
It was sorta like "The Miracle on Ice".
π
That is exactly what it is! But for curling, where as that movie is about Ice Hockey
share
Yes I know. The Americans, a ragtag bunch of college players, defeated the mighty PROFESSIONAL Russian Team. It was the greatest upset in Olympic history, and it occurred right here in the USA! USA! USA! USA!
"Do you believe in miracles?"

I remember one of my Uncles getting pretty riled up about it and telling me what a big deal it was. One of my awful memories were in 1998 team Canada losing to the Czech Republic in a shootout and they didn't put Gretzky in.
share
They didn't put in The Great One? That was stupid.
π
NO! They put in Ray Bourque. It was a big deal too cause I think it was the first year NHL players were allowed in the Olympics, and this year they were not :(
share
Who??
π
Defenseman from the Boston Bruins. Hall of Famer, but did not belong in the shootout.
share
Obviously not. Coaches sometimes lose games.
π
Well they coached themselves right out of a gold medal!
share
Yep!
π
Ah what are you gonna do
share
Shit happens. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
π
You mean sometimes your the pin, sometimes your the cushion
share
LOL! That too.
π
It's a dog eat world and you're wearing hamburger pants
share
Ouch! LOL!
π
What about being kicked in the crotch ass with a frozen boot lol
shareAlso flavors of pudding, which in New Zealandese can mean french fries or elevators or something.
share
Huh?
π€¨
Don't mind me. Have just been re-immersing myself in the small culturally deprecating Kiwi humor of the show as of late. In this instance transposing old world English terminology of "pudding" being a more general term for "dessert" in the U.S., (and fries = chips, elevators = lifts) and the Kiwi vowel sliding of the "I" sound to the front of the palate, i.e. "chups" and "lufts."
tl;dr: Entertaining myself and alcohol may have been involved.
