Insight Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Just curious... I get a good response when watching the following UK comedies with my g/f: Father Ted - Lots of silly visual humour Faulty Towers - Easy to relate to Manwell's language barrier The Fast Show - Drawing parallels with Scorchio TV and Thai TV Any suggestions that go down well with you and your other half?

Sexy Beast Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 TV? With my Asian girlfriend slapstick humor is normally at least something I can watch but the rest of the Asian soap operas that she’s addicted to drive me up the wall. Consequently I spend more time drinking with my mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Joe Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 "Funniest Home Videos" was a great hit with the GF. It was the only show she actually knew the schedule for. Unfortunately, a move swithed us from Sophon to Banglamung cable and can't seem to find it. Silly slapstick seems to be her thing. She also likes Mr. Bean. I want to get some "Three Stooges" videos to try out on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Mine watches this Thai Fashion TV- just thai models parading to music videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy Beast Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I showed my students ‘A Knights Tale’ which has romance, sword fighting and is humorous in both a subtle and obvious ways and the classic plot of poor boy becomes champion, defeats oblivious ‘Mr. Evil Villain’ gets the girl and every one lives happily ever after – well they loved it. That kind of classic story has universal appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An origional copy of the old standby Linda Baby in DEEP THROAT should really get her interest. or a copy of "Linda Lovelace For President" was funny.

penzman Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 We buy tons of movies. No cable. When the Thai soaps come on I flee like a yorkie up for the next shout ( ). She likes Bean. I ve got loads of Simpson's and Stooges episodes she has yet to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JemJem Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 When the Thai soaps come on I flee like a yorkie up for the next shout ( ). I am sure most of you have noticed that there is way too much 'exaggeration'/'overacting' in Thai soap operas. Don't the makers of the soaps hire a proper 'acting coach' (I am not sure if this is the correct term in English) ? Regards, Jem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRIPxCORE Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Since we still live in the US, my wife watches more American shows than I do. It took her a while to get used to but now she cant stop talking about how US shows are so much better than Thai shows. She likes Friends, Threes Company, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Nanny, Wheel of Fortune and simply loves The Food Network since shes a chef. I even got her hooked on watching Chicago Cub games with me. HOORAY!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbkudu Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well, I guess if she understands that you like dressing in women's clothes and wearing makeup to get in touch with your feminine side, then everything should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf5370 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 "Mr Bean" goes without saying. The odd "Only Fools and Horses", but not all. She loves "CSI" and "East Enders" when in the UK. "Home Videos". She hates cartoons for no apparant reason - thinks they are just for kids - and moans if I watch "Simpsons" or "Futurama", she has never seen them and will NOT watch them. Any movies with "Steven Segall", "Bruce Willis" or "Jackie Chan" in (Jackie 'cos he's funny, the others 'cos she has a crush on them). She doesn't watch much TV. Usually to relax she will listen to Thai music (and some western heart-string-rock like Aerosmith's "don't want to miss a thing"), watch Thai comedy VCD's or play her Kim.
