Goodness me! I do seem to have incurred your wrath, but I assure you I was most certainly not trying to depict you as an ignoramus, my good fellow, and due (perhaps) to the ambiguities of the email system, the nuanaces of my message have caused unintenional offence, leading not to a discussion of the aesthetics of humour, but instead, a fully-fledged 19th duel at dawn replete with pantaloons... Should I proffer the excuse that I don't like arguments, regarding them as always vulgar and often convincing? Or should I try, otherwise, to defuse this controversial and somewhat heated debate with a sweet honey of gentle humour? Upon my word, dear fellow, I regret the bilious fury that my misdirected words have wrought in the furnace of thy heart, and that my apology has, it seems, not been accepted grieves me like a sickness unto death... Peace, only peace is what we need to make the world go round.

And I'm sure that you're aware that the Oscar Mayer commercial jingle was adapted from the bawdy song "I Wish That I Were Oscar Wilde's Weiner". ADMIT that YOU, Fred, are indeed the reincarnation of Oscar's most private part & that will be step one on your road to redemption!!! Step 2, proceed to the FOURTH Renault Brother thread & make a worthy contribution, Mr. Weiner...

1. Annie and John Justice -my friends and I were throwing things at the screen 17 years ago. Nothing against Heather or Billy, just we hated their inclusion out of the blue to overcome the Cooper/Audrey arc being jetisoned. 3. Little Nicky -more of the plot than anything else. 4. Evelyn -a whole plot that didn't work or should have been included at all 5. Donna -it was fine in the beginning with the whole sort of wholesome Nancy Drew element, but I couldn't stomach her in the second season -"Evelyn! Please don't let him die!!!!" "You're my daddy!! You're my daddy!!!"

Okay, I think it's to the point now where,if you want to further contribute to this thread, you must make it into a Seinfeld-like routine. (eg. "What's the deal with Toad? Is his pal Badger waiting in the car? Will he turn into a prince if the right woman kisses him? I mean, really?!")

Mr Pinkle appeared in the beauty pagent and the pine weasel benefit. Malcolm was Evelyn's "brother". Having watched TP again in full for the first time since 1991, i can give a revised list. I had forgotten huge sections: I forgot Leo woke up, Jean Renault, all the chess stuff, Denise etc. In other words: most of S2. 1) Little Nicky (for the storyline) 2) Evelyn (as above) 3) JJ Wheeler (least glorious scene in TP is when Audrey loses her virginity) 4) Nadine (for S2 episodes) 5) James (honourable demotion to no. 5, still irritating but not so much) BTW, I think we should disqualify really minor characters like Pinkle, Heidi etc.

Bobby's manhandling of him is pretty funny stuff.

I could do with out Battis and Blacky a whole lot sooner, they could have died sooner. Doc Hayward is a little cheesy as well. Josie is equal to Ernie total irritation. I like Malcolm now, he is funny, but I still loath Evelyn and James is no better

besides the obvious (evelyn, little nicky), MALCOLM
"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this." -Dale Cooper

Actually though I quoted that because it seems to be the only gripe with the character. I remember someone posted on IMDb I believe it was: "He looks like he has Twin Peaks on TV in another room!" Couldn't have been said better.

Perhaps Harold is watching Invitation to Love in another room...

1) James, so dull and so sweet, pretty much the reason why Laura got bored of him so quickly. 2) Evelyn, just a pointless part of the story, James' character just didnt need to be in it anymore, nevermind have such a major storyline with her. 3) Dick - I know he's supposed to be annoying, and he really is. 4) Josie - It pains me that Harry loved her, he could have had someone so much better! (i.e. me! ) 5) Annie - I just didnt like her. She wasnt 'right'.

1. NADINE!!! (a ballbreaker, completely) 2. Harold Smith (If he didn't kill himself, I thought to enter in the screen ad do it by myself. Stupid a-social, put your orchids up in the *** and let us read Laura's secret diary!) 3. Dick Tremain (Absolutely viscid. Maybe gay. Impossible for him to be the father of Lucy's baby.) 4. James Hurley (a Priapus cross-dressed like a Romeo, totally out of control. At least, he almost had more sexual relationships than Ben Horne, not considering the ones that Be had in the Black Eyed Jack's!) 5. The Elderly and Senile Room Service Waiter (well, you enter in a hotel room and see a man who is lying on the floor almost dead, CALL A DOCTOR INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT A CUP OF MILK! STUPID FOOLISH GRANNY!)

How can you not like the room service waiter? He might be my favourite character of the entire series.

Come on.. Everyone knew that Coop wasn't gonna die in the ninth episode... especially not in a scene like that... and what about Bob then? He possesses Cooper...
That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

I was jocking, of course....I think that the old room waiter bores me for his DELAY in movements!...Isn't enough? I can't suffer wasting my time seeing and old parkinson that says OK with his ankylosed thumb from time to time talking very slowly about milk while Dale is in need....If you think about it, the whole scene is MADE to irritate spectators...

Lana. she was so vacuous. and the way the fellas fell for her vapid behavior killed me. audry was a femme fatale, too, but she was savvy and intelligent. as well as funny as hell. lana's clothing choices were the worst of 80's fashion; she needed fashion policing big time. ' Evelyn, just a pointless part of the story, James' character just didnt need to be in it anymore, nevermind have such a major storyline with her.' agreed. lol, i did like dick tremain. his personality struck me so funny.

it's pileated, isn't it?

I've always felt bad for Ed and Norma because of that annoying superhuman Nadine. I used to roll my eyes everytime she came onscreen during TP's first run.

I am suprised that many people don't like James, I thought that I was the one:). Yes, he is really irritating with his foolish mistakes with the women, especially Eveline. I don't like Josie too with her "Ooooh, Harry" snivel; Eveline (I don't know why);Lana with her oldman's fever and I don't like Leo.
Faster and faster. For a long time you wouldn't feel anything. Than you would burst in the fair... forever. And the angels wouldn't help you. Because they've all gone away...

| QUOTE: Ben?! How can someone find Ben irritating? He's the *MAN*... Ok, he can get on your nerves sometimes, but that's the secret of his charm, isn't it? 1. Louise, Great Northern employee (I hate that woman so much) 2. Little Nicky (what can I say, when I see him I only hope he goes funny boom-boom into some dark pit and never come back) 3. Evelyn Marsh (those Diane Keaton close-ups, those cigarette smoke rings, OMG!) 4. Gwen Moran (I guess that's the point of the character) 5. Mr. Pinkle (he's so unfunny sometimes it's hell to just watch him) |
I have to disagree with you on Mr. Pinkle. I actually think that he is pretty funny. In these two scenes anyway:
1. When he tries the harness meant for Leo and it is freaking out. "Bobby, I have a problem here..." 2. On stage with Tremayne when he is talking about the pine weasel. "How is everybody doing!"... dead silence... "That's good." "...beaueautiful fur!"

OK, here's where I admit that I only liked the Annie character because I'm hot for Coop. That aside, my least fave characters are: 1. Evelyn Marsh 2. "Little Nicky" 3. Lana Milford 4. Ernie Niles 5. Josie Packard
