Garth Marenghi's "Darkplace"

[Mr Sparkle]

Who's seen the single best parody of awful 80's horror series I have seen in a while?
the lines, they are priceless "so, dim the lights, or.....turn them off if you don't have dimmers" the egomaniac character of Garth Marenghi (author, dreamweaver plus actor!) is sooo bad it's good (yes such a thing can be accomplished).

How many dumb threads for this show must we have.

 

[Mr Sparkle]

as many as are needed....what exactly makes this thread dumb you freak? it was pretty much mensa quality untill you came in and retarted it all up!
did you see me going into your threads when you made 2 different ones for animaniacs and pinky and the brain?

NO! so ****.

 

[deathshead2]

I had no idea I made more than one thread for pinky and the brain.But really im just saying there been many threads on this 2 last month now this. But im sorry and I will not ****.Also is the show supposed to bad. Cus then I might dislike it less I might be taking it way to seriouesly.

 

[Mr Sparkle]

It's supossed to make fun of bad shows, it's intentionally bad. that's what makes it funny, it makes mistakes that you used to see on these shows, but exagerates them, also, exagerates the drame they tried to inject into them.

for instance, when Dr. Rick Dagless (sic) MD.'s closest friend explodes, nothing but his talking head is left, and he looks up at "DAg"and says's "PLease Kill Me" Dagless reels back in horror and the head says "Please Dag.....it hurts" ahahahahahahaha i nearly spit out my coffee.

 

[deathshead2]

I did laugh at that its really weird and when the girl touchs him he just start yelling it is really werid I will give it that.
