Captain comedy connections

I’ve always said that the way I feel about the Captain, and the reason he was my instant favourite, is this: it’s like walking into a party and seeing someone you know. The ‘blustering but ineffectual authority figure’ is a really recognisable comedy staple. Just him being there positions Ghosts in a long line of classic British sitcoms. And then they flipped that archetype by giving him a relatable inner conflict and all his funny little idiosyncrasies, all those hints at the real person buried beneath the persona ♡ Anyway, none of these characters are identical to Captain, but I think he certainly shares some of their DNA and I just felt like gathering them together

#a selection of 20th century repressed comedy dads #bbc ghosts #britcom #the captain ghosts #monty python #fawlty towers #dad's army #the fast show #bbc porridge #blackadder goes forth #molesworth #are you being served #Ben says he’s inspired by his own teachers so I included one of Molesworth’s schoolmasters #blackadder is way more cynical about the army than captain #but I don’t think he’s exactly any of the others in that show either #there’s an episode of dads army where cpt mainwaring falls in love with a married woman #and it makes him question all his values and it’s sweet and poignant & that feels very captain to me #ralph isn’t bossy at all but he and ralph are here for the exquisite pining vibes #this is embarrassingly earnest but I’m breezing through it #been in my drafts for ages but felt like posting it today

I haven't had time to post for a while but I couldn't get Ralph and Ted from The Fast Show out of my head. This show broke me. It was the saddest comedy I've ever seen.

So here you have Ted and Ralph chilling (being awkward) together :]

My brain rot for this pair is about to get a whole lot worse.

(that's right this film does not exist anywhere on the internet so I had to pay £20 for a DVD which is nearly unavailable to buy in order to watch this)

Seems like a good time to bring back one of my first ever fan creations; a crossover between Doctor Who and The Fast Show. Don't ask me to explain The Fast Show; it was an odd 90's sketch show that was brought back on YouTube for a bit. More just characters saying catchphrases than jokes (kind of like Little Britain). Just search YouTube for 'The Fast Show Brilliant' and you'll likely find the character being mimicked here.

my (possibly not very) hot take of the day is that Ted and Ralph is to Jeeves and Wooster as Raffles is to Holmes. in both cases i feel that someone looked at a famous piece of media about two dudes often read as queer and went “all right that’s a great piece of media. but consider: what if it was gayer and more sad”

#red randomness #the fast show #ted and ralph #jeeves and wooster #acd holmes #crime and cricket #why yes I *have* been mired in the british blorbos how can you tell? #anyway if you haven’t seen ted and ralph from the fast show. For the love of God please watch it #it’s hilarious and tragic and aching and sweet and if you have ever loved a gay piece of media you will adore it as I do #apparently it is also likely inspired by Maurice which I’ve been meaning to read and watch for AGES #so there’s that to look forward to

Gen X and early Millennials shitting on Zoomers for using memes like we weren't all quoting the bloody Fast Show to each other in school
