I actually really want to read Bernard's russian novel.
everbody does man... everybody does 😔
I hope someone will write this eventually
There's a DVD extra where Bernard reads a rejection letter from a literary agent and writes a very Bernard response. I can't remember if it was stated what novel he'd sent in, but it's a fun bit nonetheless
In my mind it was actually a masterpiece and the world lost it because Bernard and Manny are idiots.
Hahaha same!
While you're waiting, you might enjoy some short stories by Tolstoy.
Really, they're quite entertaining and informative.
Not kidding, he really could pound out an engaging yarn.
Dammit, I'm *not* being sarcastic, Tolstoy is worth a read!
I agree with Bernard: a panda is an awful choice for the mouse's best friend.
Yeah but it could have helped him play his trombone
An elephant would have been better
"You've gonna have to get a job" made me laugh HARD!!!!
Binge watching Black Books these days. "A lens grinder in Omsk" bribed me into liking it even more, as I originally come from Omsk : D That was a fun and unexpected reference!
Its almost pretty this show. Weird and pretty- I like its unknown.
"But I'm not doing anything, I'm just strolling up the beach with my discreetly pregnant Brazilian girlfriend"
"She's just an ordinary lingerie model"
Bernard's Russian novel actual sounds interesting. And so does his children's book.
Well, that is the joke
If I had kids, I’d read them the hell out of those two books.
Hope they didn't burn it.
It was Mannny's children's book.
Bernard's children's book was to amazing for this world. His novel makes Dostoievsky seem like Nicholas Sparks
Bernard's Russian novel: how my story ideas seem in my head
The Elephant and the Balloon: how my stories turn out to be when I write them
The Funny fact that unlike other shows were the characters Accidentally burn or destroy something
Bernard and Manny HAD to burn the Book cause it's too good and it needed to be destroyed 😂😅😃
It's Just Comedic Genius 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've seen this a few times over and first time I've noticed the smoke from the typewriters at 12:05 as Bernard is typing. CLassic.
when they start talking about the pressures of fame is the best part..lol where have I left my designer trousers? oh no, there in my kong hung house"
Hahaha😂😂😂 I know right? SUCH a great rant on why they shouldn’t be famous, the slurs & mistakes like you mentioned just kill me everytime😅
Designer underpants
Manny falling over in the worm costume is still one of the funniest sight gags I have ever seen / will ever see.
“You haven’t 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥, Worm! What happened to the rabbit?”
“He-starved to death. The End.”
This episode is comedic genius. I discovered the show years ago (I was a teenager fascinated with all things english) and it introduced me to many other british comedy series which I wouldn't have known otherwise. This episode is legendary and brings me back to so many fun memories. Thanks Black Books.
What all British you liked ?
Have you watched Green Wing? If not, do!
Defend Auntie Millicent and her two freaks in the book shop. To the end.
This preformance got Olivia Colman her Oscar
She got Oscar in 2018, what are you smoking? Anyway, her best role by far was in Peep Show. She played annoying bitch so good I wanted to choke her character Sophie.
Who the hell is that
@@Quicksilver_Cookie I smoked from the same juices: Skillful says _preformance_ aka performance before the performance. Without this performance, no hilarious Oscar speech and no queen and not necessarily in that order I might be a bit late and a bit up and a bit smoked and salmon and not necessarily in that order. Anyway, I think you sound nice and I harm no mean nor any nice :)
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 wut
@@veggiemetal7812 I honestly have no idea. This was two years ago and the comment I replied to is gone xD I think I referenced Olivia Colman's acceptance speech at the Oscars in 2019 and the OC "skillful" wrote "preformance" instead of "performance", which made sense to me since the claim was that it was this performance that Olivia Colman the Oscar, which is obviously untrue. But I thought the argument made more sense if "preformance" was a deliberate spelling to indicate that this performance lead up to the one that would eventually get Oliva Colman an Oscar.
I hope this makes sense.
God this episode is comedy gold.
PERFECTION 🤣
I agree, God.
3:53 In a couple of months that woman will be up for an Oscar.
And she got it :D :D :D
Poor Manny can play piano and draw pictures but still lives in squalid conditions with Bernard..
And Bernard who can write great Russian novels in one night
He's a masochist
Dylan Moran needs to write that novel about the lens grinder in Omsk and publish it under the name Bernard Black.
Whew....The last bit with the kid was a cliffhanger. Almost lost the Bernard we love there......😂
It’s weird how many of these people ended up in Shaun of the dead
Pretty much all of the English actors in Black Books were in a Cornetto trilogy movie lmao
@@maximillianford9301 isn’t Dylan Moran Irish?
@@theinsufferablebutthole8923 yea he is. Obviously he was in the trilogy too, I was just categorising all the English actors who appeared in black books and the trilogy cos there are so fucking many of them
Like Simon Pegg 😊
i want a copy of manny and bernards book
black books - spaced- peep show- the office (uk) - it crowd: masterpieces
Forgot The Mighty Boosh and That Mitchell and Webb look.
Give me more shows
Limmy’s show
and garth marengi's Dark Place
Father Ted
Here in Australia you couldn't play with an old breeze block because there was already a nasty spider living in it.
Best episode of Black Books (in my opinion). 👏🏻
Quite a few are joined in 2nd place (like when Manny and Bernard create their own wine, or the one where they open up their own restaurant or where Manny plays the piano or... damn, I could keep going haha)
^_^
I completely agree
those r now my favourite too!!
Such a great show. One of the few that I love to re-watch. 😊
Yes! Yes! Yes!
BACK IN THE WORM
I thought for a minute that Bernard would give the kid 50 pounds and he'd run of with it but they had a better punchline
It's Seinfeld writing. No hugs, no lessons. Hilarious
I wasn't fooled. Bernard would NEVER do anything remotely altruistic or compassionate. Haha
"It’s brilliant. I just have 2 teeny weeny suggestions for changes. Instead of the academic & the journalist & daughter, perhaps it could be about…an…elephant. And instead of the Stalin's purges and all that...it could be about...well...losing a balloon."
This is one of the best episodes in this series 😁, so funny
I'm 23, I started watching this show when I was like 11 I still binge the whole series every few days with a nice glass of wine...... There's more here somewhere
This isn't the AA, bud.
8:26 Bamanarahmra! Oscar-winning drunk acting.
Strange how the ladies believe Fran is destined to be a spinster, while she is easily the most attractive and interesting out of these 4 characters.
As all good spinsters ought to be
Nah Lucy Davis is way more attractive. Fran does have more personality tho
Fran can fucken get it tho
She is NOT the most attractive lmao.
I think the dark-haired skinny one is pretty hot. Fran does have the personality though.
Games! Cake! BOOZE! *TRUTH!*
I'm going to confess that my Games folder on my phone is called Games! Cake! Booze! :)
"I very much doubt that since your night begins with the word 'hen', the prefix of doom."
Or this; weirdrussia.com/2015/08/20/dont-try-to-leave-the-city-of-omsk/
Ron Pogue I swear it doesn’t make sense. I thought that years ago and still today I can’t make sense of it. Hen being a prefix would only mean it’s the beginning title of the word ‘doom’. Hen Doom.
@@123raggett1 I think what Bernard means here is that 'hen' denotes 'doom' when used as a prefix, as opposed to literally being its prefix. Ergo Fran's night is doomed due to her using 'hen' to describe it. In the end that in fact is the case as she and her friends all leave alone.
Lens grinder in Omsk
i still want to read the novel.
Olivia Colman: 'Banamamarnamra'... Best line of the episode
this episode is gold
Love Lucy Davis in this. She was brilliant in The Office too.
They all drink lemonadeeee
I always forget Olivia Colman is in this one
You'll notice that the lollipop stand behind Bernard's desk disappears between the scene ending at 7:35 and the scene beginning at 8:41.
That's because there was a deleted scene in which a demonic schoolgirl steals it!
Is that Olivia Colman??
It's hot in the worm.
I had chatGPT generate a children based on their prompts. here's the mouse:
Once upon a time, in a small town not far away, there lived a mouse named Milo. Milo was not like any other mouse in his town. He lived in a bottle bank, and he loved to play the trombone.
Milo was very passionate about his music, and he would practice all day long. Sometimes the sound was so loud that the bottles in the bank would shake and rattle. But Milo didn't mind, he was in his own world, playing his trombone.
Milo was also very picky about his food. He only ate one thing - licorice. His friends would offer him cheese, bread, and other treats, but he would always turn them down. "No thanks," he would say, "I only eat licorice."
One day, Milo's town was having a big parade. All the kids were going to be in it, and they wanted Milo to play his trombone. Milo was nervous, but he knew he couldn't say no. He practiced and practiced, making sure he would be ready.
The day of the parade came, and Milo was ready. He stood on the back of a small truck and started playing his trombone. The sound was beautiful, and everyone in the town stopped to listen.
As Milo played, he saw his friends in the crowd. They were holding signs that said "Go Milo!" and "You're the best, Milo!" Milo felt proud, and he knew he was doing something he loved.
After the parade, Milo's friends came to see him. "Wow, Milo, you were amazing!" they said. "We didn't know you were such a great musician."
Milo smiled and thanked his friends. "I love playing my trombone," he said. "And I'm glad I could share it with all of you today."
And from that day on, Milo continued to play his trombone and eat his licorice, knowing that he was doing what he loved, and that his friends would always support him.
*B A L A N A R A M A L A*
She is such a witch. Lol. Priceless.
Auntie Millicent…….😆
i just want to live in my normal mansion, with my normal helicopter, and my normal yacht
one of my favorite episodes. the other one being mu-ma and mu-pa
17:41 this part always has me in stitches 😂
Evan really foretold Manny being the worm that he is
"I've never said this to anyone before....you're going to have to get a job."
Excellent episode. BTW, this is the 2nd time on this tv show that a woman ate a chocolate cake from the side...picking up a chunk of the cake. Is this a woman's thing or a British woman's thing? I have 4 sisters and several female cousins, I have never seen ANYONE eat cake this way.
It's because chocolate cake is typically seen as forbidden fruit for a lot of British women, who feel they should be 'watching their figure' or whatever. Thus, the biting into it with wild abandon.
Thank you Anja for telling me that this exists- its the only thing that lets me forget the Corona insanity at the moment.
It sounds like Jimmy Carr laughing in the background at 17:55
05:21 looks like my students when I give them a writing prompt.
NO GIGGLIN
G
Why do the ladies look like they're camping out for a week😂 I mean all those suitcases they'd taken .
Back in the worm!
i have just realized that i am Bernard Black... LOL
Hello Bernard Black 😊
This is the greatest episode of any tv show anywhere in the universe
"I'm so happy and any more would be bad!"
Who cares what our disgusting public think.
first thing, m happy Fran had other plans n friends then Manny n Bernard,
અને બાળસાહિત્ય રચવું ગાઠીયા ખાવાના ખેલ નથી, એ ખૂબ સરસ રીતે ચિત્રણ કર્યું,
અને ફ્રેન ની પાર્ટી ના હાલ એકદમ વાસ્તવિક હતા,
i loved the final drafting of elephant's story.
Bernard was real him at the end.
British comedy is the best
Great funny show!
If Bernard was German he could have called his shop: Bernd Black Books.
Couldn't he call it that anyway?
Bernhards schwarze Bücher
Or Bernds' Black Burnt Books
Becky is Aunt Hilda on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Games, cake, booze, TRUTH!
Timeless comedy.
Bernand and manny wrote the elephant man
Great !
8:27 Bloody hell! I just realized that it's Olivia Colman! Before she became Queen, that is. 😁😄
Omg how many todays big stars were in this show.
Bernard is the best villain in the History of TV.
best episode.
Oh, go on!
Bernard & Manny are my writing my thesis
As a girl, girl nights suck cause you end up hating each other lol
Who else came here while procrastinating on a book writing 🙋🏻♀️
HE DOESNT HAVE IT!
bingo. the best thing that you kept was self respect. the abusive dynamic works at undermining that. you had a lucky escape girl. 👍👍👍
Get a job kid, get a job. 😂😂😂
The set-up.
And another character from Shaun of the Dead!
I thought the first series was the best and the second series the second best
This is where I 1st saw & fell in L❤VE with Olivia Coleman 😍🥰😘
Olivia Coleman and that woman from The Office! Forgot.
It's amazing that there is a future Oscar winner in this episode. Olivia Colman has had quite the career, always present in British television and films, tons of stuff! I liked it every time she popped up in something.
I’ll take forged book tokens
Good night for now guys... 😃
Kids go for any old rubbish.
Love Olivia Colman
4:45
"paparizzi"
Is Jimmy Carr in the audience? 17.54
"...makes me cringe"
Ahead of its time.
(2:45) "you and me" the English disjunctive pronoun.
What ist name of the song from 17:16?
Richandrius i think it’s Andrea True Connection - More, More, More
Actually no. It would be the Bananarama version. Thats who they’re playing for the holiday
