Image of the Week #51
The world of the situation comedy is a welcome retreat for us busy bees and eager beavers, almost as welcome as a quick evening-tide gaming session. Sitcoms are the Angel Delight of television scheduling, so many flavours, all delightful, but too much and you'll get fucking sick of them. The challenge this week was to come up with some games loosely tied to Sitcoms. See what images our merry band of wrong ‘uns have exorcised from their diseased minds…
Bloid
Storming ahead with the Gold medal this week is Bloid's superb effort. Laugh like a duck with emphysema whilst keeping those pesky necromancers in their place with ‘Bless This Splatterhouse.' Luckily Sid James was handy with his fists! (Nyuk nyuk nyuk!) (This is pretty much the best thing I've ever seen, and I'm including Jamie Lee Curtis's tits in Trading Places - Ko.)
Sickboy
Pinching the silver medal is this Faulty Towers meets Pikmin confessional is our own Sickboy. As Manuel leaves the employment of the ever-troubled Basil Fawlty, a new batch of imported workers arrive to help out around the hotel. Chuckle as these useless little runts with no minds of their own are expected to do the most menial of tasks, but fuck up due to inadequate leadership. After seeing this entry to the compo, NTL are currently looking to outsource their telephone operations to these little plant-derived blighters.
Sir LANS-a-Lot:
I will not have poofs in my army! This week, the bronze medal goes to Sir LANS-a-lot. In this game you play the irascible Windsor Davis in a farce-filled romp as only the British could conceive. Just don't do any jokes about rusty bullet-holes. But didn't Don Estelle have a lovely singing voice? No. You just felt sorry for him because he was deformed.
The winner's circle filled, which now leaves us with the other magnificent triumphs of photoshoppery tomfoolery. They are all winners, as no-one gets a prize anyway.
Thalamus:
Click this if you dare. Yes it's an actual audio clip from the show.
Koworld
Moderately more attractive than Alex Parks, and infinitely more likely to remain a household name for more than a year. (Koworld actually voted for Luke.)
Spirit
If only Ben Elton knew, one day something about this weak comedy would actually make someone laugh.
PVB:
The frustration of a lifetime's chastity finally made Rigsby snap. I'm coming for you, Miss Jones!
Teamonkey:
If only they were silent.
Dio:
Tomorrow's acts, yesterday's prices… TODAY!
Player One
It's only a matter of time…
JC: 
Of course, the good life was completely unrealistic. Briers could never pull a hottie like Felicity Kendal.
Thalamus
Cryptic uncle Thalamus suggests there maybe something faulty afoot…
JC
A five year stretch, the assumption of a patriarchal role and no mention of prison sex. Good old Fletcher.
Sir LANS-a-Lot
You dirty old man.
Ahchay
A smile, a song and a severed limb.
Bloid
I'd play it!
failrate 
I certainly don't.
JC
They may be old, but imagine the moves they've picked up along the way, eh? Phwoar!
BetaKarraTine 
Counter-terrorism strike force jollity with Dick Cheney. If only it wasn't so true.
So that's that for this week, there were many more entries that we simply didn't have time to take from the various forum threads and bang-in here. These links should see you straight if you want to examine the others (and some of them are great by the way) … http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?t=25121
