God bless PFG and TPN. You guys make me laugh. The British have a talent for the painfully absurd. Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, The Office, Alan Partridge, the list goes on.

YEAH BABY

Love AbFab and this episode. The true spiritual successor to AbFab I would say is Pulling which is absolutely black hearted and has no sympathy for anyone.

Yesssss

When Jack shares this still from AbFab on the Twitter TL, you already know the accompanying tweet is going to be fire. Look forward to diving into this installment of TPN.

Yes it's true about British comedies, our best are about losers if not outright grotesqueries. One outstanding example is the work of Julia Davis (Human Remains and Nighty Night), which Jack and like-minded people might get a kick out of.

The Band is my favorite band in the whole world but that was a cool ass version of This Wheel’s on Fire. Damn.

Melly

I’m lovin heating and American perspective on this!! Watched Ab Fab from age 7 with my fam when it came out and it was just seen as a totally mainstream comedy show so yes, I guess we are messed up lol

I suggest French & Saunders reads a Madonna interview as an appendix to this

Always saw Withnail & I as a brother piece to AbFab…

I really enjoyed this. I dig the perceptions of British comedy from both of you, I think they're pretty accurate. Not to bore you but back in 92 I was a very green temp at HBO, my gay best friend who also worked there- we basically stole the videotape from the HBO library. (HBO turned down acquiring AbFab, It turned up on Comedy Central like, 4 years later.) The tape had clearly been duped/copied at least 6 times. Murky as hell to watch! Pre-digital degradation of fucking flimsy videotape. BUT we enjoyed the hell out of it in 1992-1994. Thanks again for a great discussion, both of you.

Another thing- Edwina's strange occupation on the edge of fashion and media and PR was so niche in 1992. I was an art school grad famous for fashion (Parsons) so I knew that world a bit. Edwina was meant to be a strange outlier trying to be inner circle and always cool. (Failing.) But fashion (outside truly big names) was a much smaller world then in 1992. Gay men being its aficionados. Models like Linda, Christy, Naomi were our pop stars. Not mainstream yet. Then the models blew up, fashion blew up, luxury consumerism blew up worldwide. Everyone's a PR person and influencer and Instagram star now. Edwina Monsoon basically conquered the whole fucking world since AbFab debuted. How do you parody the Kardashians even? They do it themselves.

You are totally right about it inspiring bad behavior. I was watching it on Comedy Central at 13 and I got to the point where I HAD to try swigging alcohol out of the bottle like Patsy, it just looked so cool. I went down to my parent's liquor closet and swigged a bunch of Jack Daniels. I've never been able to drink whiskey again after that.

Just started watching Ad Fab because of this! Loving every second!

I still laugh uproariously just thinking about the "Death " episode. "You're not Jesus Christ! You're not even INTERESTING!"

I watched the 2016 movie after listening to this and hilarious as advertised. Thanks! I always loved the show. The American cousin is definitely Girls.

It's weird to listen to cool people of today talking about stuff that we just naively laughed at aeons ago. Toast of London was good. I can't imagine how woke 2022's Toast of Tinseltown must be like if BBC2 is showing it.
