True story this; I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia by a doctor and prescribed powerful anti-epileptic drugs to combat its symptoms, which I took for about a week. The medicine I was taking had known side effects of depression, increasing the tendency for suicidal thoughts and various other neurological side effects. Trigeminal neuralgia, for those of you who don’t know, is known as the suicide disease because it is supposed to be the most painful disease ever discovered. It is known to present itself with symptoms akin to a dental infection and develop from there into an escalating series of painful attacks that can literally blind the victim with pain. As there is no known long term way of arresting its development, people often kill themselves simply to put themselves out of their misery. It turned out after a week that it was a dental infection after all and I was alright. I want this man to make the biopic of my life!

The half sneezing representing impotent, commitless military action on french-german border, the stalling of the meeting while waiting for a missing man representing a fruitless diplomatic policy towards hitlers demends. The best part is the crude metaphor with the man leaving to, literally, take a piss. Finally, the scene ends with a brilliant stoped sneeze by lead council man and a grimace of pain, being a prevue of the suffering that their lack of decisive response will bring europe in coming years.

A little too slapstick, which then seemed uninspired compared to the frantic and disconnected and most certainly overplayed by now comedy style that's seem to still dominate today. Combined with the old bbc equipment and infrastructure lagging behind prevailing American productions that were then just entering the media market worldwide this played against the newness of US media and internet! The raving over pixls and hd compatibility really threw the established industry into question as all of their expensive equipment and bloated hierarchy became meaningless these shows seemed to operated the same nonetheless. I agree though, this show is suburb much like most 2000's British productions. They have that oldtimey feel and inspire an odd nostalgia because I technically never experienced these vibes personally. Its a relaxed mediocrity, a comfortable malaise, a perfect representation of a simpler time.

I heard that the sequel of "The Man Who Has A Cough And It's Just A Cough And He's Fine" is in production! This time, it's a publicly funded movie and it no longer takes place in Victorian times but in UK 2020. The sequel to "Sometimes Fires Go Out" is said to have been picked up by an Australian production firm. The filming starts in 2021.

My lab technician friend woke in the night to find the socket on fire. He grabbed a fire extinguisher, put out the flames and went back to sleep. Later, my physicist friend was woken by the same thing. He saw the extinguisher, reasoned that fire requires oxygen to burn, woke the lab technician and explained at length how a CO2 extinguisher would quench the flames. The lab technician put out the fire and they both went back to sleep. Similarly, I was later woken by fire. I saw the fire, looked at the extinguisher and of course went back to sleep, having established that a solution existed.

Sad part is that these fake film clips have more tension and buildup and narrative finesse than most movies I usually watch.

I think they read my mind about Lost in Translation.

This is so brilliant!

I've coughed at work for the past 3 years, but with covid "oh no!". I've become quite the piriaha.

Wonderful stuff.

Holy crap these guys are hilarious

this was amazing

Quite. I think for film, those sort of "background" actions can really add to the illusion of realism but for a book, the extra chore of having to read the unnecessary details would just annoy the reader. I would have overdone it. My poor primary school teacher.

Since I was a young kid I always imagined that sneezing thing happening to important figures of history at significant points. Like a bunch of Zulus about to fight the english and shit. Something about it is just really funny

"Like a bunch of Zulus about to fight the english and shit." Wouldn't shitting take too long?

PRO TIP: If you feel you are about to sneeze, but don't, and then your are left with the painfully annoying feeling you might still sneeze, just blow your nose anyway. It will clear that pre-sneeze feeling right up.

Zero Ninety professional implies I am paid for it. I would say avoiding sneezes is one of my many hobbies though.

I wouldn't do that - because I actually like the relief of actually sneezing.

11 years later now I get recommended

It's an interesting idea, I could just see some people going over board with it though. The right amount of it can work but too much of it just ends up making it dull. Heath Ledger's Joker interpretation had quite a few mannerisms that mimicked life, like when he clears his throat. I guess that's the difference between a well rehearsed scene and a good actor who won't let a little tiny detail ruin a whole scene.

I saw his student film, "Study Group Where They Go Off Topic To Talk About That Episode Of Emergency 999."

Pardon me if it seems like this is a crass question, but from your personal experience, what is the horniest bra size on a woman? "WHAT?" By which I mean, what if anything is the message of your films? I'm glad he clarified that..

I fell asleep during it too, but then I did watch it on a long haul flight from L.A. to London, it was the third movie I had watched on the plane and I had been awake for around 30 hours before hand so I don't think I can really make a valid complaint.

@Conway79 I saw that in the cinema with my dad when it came out; he fell asleep through it (but he does fall asleep during movies quite often). It is really slow-paced though; I felt as if 3 days had actually passed while I was in the cinema. -_-

3:21 - Someone had to say it.

I think that David Mitchell would agree with me when I say that damp is not literally the worst thing.

The cough scene is just hilarious

Reminds me of a quote from *The Last Puritan* "Thunderation!" said my father, "There's a man in his shirtsleeves on that step!" We moved the same week.

Other people who always die in films are those who have "Always wanted to see the ocean/mountains/Montana."

Well, I mean it's not as though someone's last wish would be to have seen Slough, or a quarry in Afghanistan 😏

i actually want more of this

oh dear me. I love this show.

For, you see, the entire film is a metaphor for the banality of existance and the pointlessness of life. Which, of course, epitomizes and in fact embodies the very essence of Paul Valery's most famous statement, "The universe is a flaw in the purity of non-being." This film is a veritable tour deforce of the directors' art and can easily withstand comparison to master Felini's finest works, Man Scratching Himself At Bus Stop, and Still Life Of Wino In Gutter. Bravo! Che fin!

You gonna admit, these clips are more realisitic

That girl in the outtakes kept saying eggs instead of looking up aww

the Lost in Translation bit got me

this is almost perfect

lol "I thought it was a massive flashback!"

David Mitchell looks like my Crime Fiction tutor in this sketch lol.

she was during the filming of That Mitchell and Webb Look series 2

This is so true, they never show characters needing the toilet or eating in almost every adventure movie.

We always refer to this sort of coughing as "Costume Drama Cough" . It is always, repeat ALWAYS fatal!

Unless it's just a cough and he's fine.

I really wish people would make short films THAT good.

All I've learnt from this is that someone needs to make a "The Death of Stalin"-style film about Neville Chamberlain.

also kind of reminds me of chris morris interviewing people on brass eye

He’s right, in Lost in Translation NOTHING happens at all!

Ironically the one film you'd think would MOST resemble his take on "realistic" film styles is the one he critiques for nothing happening. Haha!

Reminds me of the Late Show Parody they did, which had the From Here to Just over There film with the word ass used everywhere.

I want the hole film now

*gasp* aliens! 😄😂😂😂 Too bad i missed that episode.
