>That's it, Lister! Your'e on report me laddo.
That crew of incels, especially Rimmer, is one of us. Based show, at least when Rob Grant was still there.
>crew of incels
Fuck off tranny, they were LADS!
>BOYS FROM THE DWARF.
sneeeeeeeed feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
It's pathetic how much I identify with Rimmer. A miserable sexual and career failure, forever unloved and never respected.
>A man so petty and small minded, he would while away his evenings sewing name labels onto his ship issue condoms. A man of such awesome stupidity... ... This man is not guilty of manslaughter, he is only guilty of being Arnold J. Rimmer. That is his crime; it is also his punishment.
you can always become ace rimmer
When I was young I had friend who was really into Red Dwarf. I would only catch passing bits of it when I came over.
I literally thought the plot of the show was the they kept trying to go back in time to prevent the accident that killed everyone, but in actuality my friend was watching the same episode over and over again because it was his favorite episode.
Smoke me a kipper skipper I'll be back for breakfast!
Everyone are dead lister.
What? Cpt. Hollister?
>The episode where the crew goes into a VR game designed to be the player's perfect life
>Rimmer ruins it because he hates himself so much that he literally cannot conceive of anything good happening for him
what a guy

Dat pathos.
The real tragedy of Rimmer is that deep down he could be a hero ('Out of Time'), if only he could have gotten laid on a regular basis ('Holoship'). Ace Rimmer was proof of what he could have been.
op here
that scene is one of my favorites! thanks for reminding me.
bump for the only rational thread on the board. the looneys have taken over the asylum.
woss happenin'... *uncomfortable pause* ... dudes?
Okay RedDwarfAnons...please help me out. I tried watching it from the beginning, but was bored a few episodes in. What is the point of this show? It's been running for decades, and obviously there are fans of it. Why do you like it? I just want to know so I can try to see what you see in it...because to be honest I find it really boring.
Is there are season where things 'pick up'? Is it a show that is more about inside humour or callbacks which only a fan would understand? Please help...I feel like I'm missing something here...
the original point was Lister and Rimmer being stuck together forever, and hating each other. same push as in "The Odd Couple", but with low-budget SF trimmings.
Thanks....god, I thought there was more to it. I am disappoint.
>but in actuality my friend was watching the same episode over and over again because it was his favorite episode.
based
it's a cosy sitcom that explores different scifi ideas, it's just fun.
What doctor who is this?
>mfw posting have sex might actually turn someone into a hero
And here I thought it was just shitposting
It's a sitcom... in SPAAAAAAAAAACE.
The first two series/seasons are mainly Lister and Rimmer in their quarters arguing and bantering, with Cat stopping by for a funny line here and there. In S3 Kryten becomes a main cast member and they start doing more sci-fi with the interpersonal comedy into S6, when they lose Red Dwarf and are constantly on Starbug, looting ships for resources. Then Rob Grant leaves and the show jumps the shark.
S7, Rimmer becomes the new Ace Rimmer and is replaced with an alternate Kochansky which fucks up the whole 'Boys from the Dwarf' thing. Red Dwarf is reconstituted with a resurrected crew (including a live Rimmer) and that becomes the main focus of S8, where they are put in the ship's prison. Some reality shit happens and it ends on a cliff-hanger for TEN FUCKING YEARS, while they tried and failed to get a movie made and then the faggot BBC refuse to make more episodes.
They make a comeback on the Dave channel with Back to Earth, which was meh (Hologram Rimmer has returned, having mentioned the despair squid from S5), then after a few years they've finally started to make more regular series again. S10 I liked, but I never caught up with the couple after that. Seems they have gotten back to the S5-6 feeling, even though Doug Naylor is not the funny one of the Grant-Naylor partnership.
There's going to be an S13, but I do think they should wrap it up soon, with Lister and the gang somehow getting back to Earth 30 years after Red Dwarf had the accident and went into deep space and have his happy ending with Kochanski. It's kinda sad to see them get so middle aged, considering the show started 31 years ago.
it stops becoming about that at season 3 onwards
The book version of better than life was pretty horrifying
Is Lister white in UK?
No.
Craig Charles has commented in the past that despite making a series with a black and mixed race guy as main characters, nobody gave a single shit and nobody tried using it as some sort of message.
No. He's a half-nigger. Grant/Naylor showed him the pilot script just to ask him if the characterization of Cat would be considered racist. Charles liked it so much, he wanted to audition for Lister. Before this, he was just a Scoúse street poet who got some TV time.
How british do I have to be to understand Red Dwarf?
