I'd watch Natasha Lyonne read the phone book.

Russian Doll and Poker Face were both amazing.

And I’d watch Jackie Daytona watch paint dry. That man makes me laugh more than any modern comedian.

The human bartender?

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, same for Matt Berry. If this is just a phonebook reading show I'm 100% in.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I will have to look those up later. I haven't seen anything with her in it yet.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Russian Doll

Oh, it's a series as well. I have only seen Poker Face and that was amazing, at least season 1.

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago

Season 2 is pretty great. There's a hook in the last episode for a 3rd season, but I'm not sure if it's been renewed or not.

I couldn't even read "Force and Majeure" without hearing Matt Berry. Even the title was written for his inflection haha

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

He'll be able to add 3-5 syllables to "Majeure"

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If Matt Berry is in it, I am on it.Even though we don't get sky across the pond, there are always ways of procuring media.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's one of the vampires from What We Do In The Shadows!

That looks like a very promising pair of main characters.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Indeed, he is. He was also a fantastic in Toast of London, his role on the mighty boosh and the IT crowd as well as snuff box. Year of the Rabbit, dark place, if I went much longer, I would just end up covering his whole career. Needless to say, if you like him in what we do in the shadows, you will like him in just about everything he's ever done.

He's that rare actor that seems to play pretty much the same character in everything but it never seems to get old.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's his bravado, brash demeanor, and comedic timing. Kevin Costner is Kevin Costner in everything he's ever been in. But never entertaining. As an actor Matt my stick to the roll. But almost nobody does it like him. And it's always a joy to watch. Not to mention it's far-from his only talent.

[–] teft@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

seems to play pretty much the same character

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm imagining a kind of 'Archer' but with Matt's delivery style.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Now I'm imagining this scene but saying "Mother!" instead

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Force and Manure

[–] turdburglar@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago
