Given the recent discussion about Monty Python, I expect some of you might enjoy the current Monty Python-athon at shirt.woot.com.

Also, you have to be rich/posh to go to boarding schools.

I'm neither if those , tables is a northerner to my knowledge so is unlikely to have done so either. And well Tinas is clearly a chav!

Innit blud.

OK, League of Legends had one of the best April Fools pranks ever yesterday.  They created a game mode with 80% CDR and no mana costs.  They've actually released it on their client (apparently available for a week) and they got several pro teams to play each other in exhibition matches with shoutcasters and everything.  Spectacular.

Basically copying a mode that has been in DotA forever doesn't sound particularily creative to me.

I have always found LoL has more humour

I feel like there is at least a certain amount of integrity when the laugh track comes from a live studio audience.

Yep. I loathe pre-recorded laugh tracks, but I like live studio audience laughter. It makes a huge difference that people are laughing at what actually is funny rather than what the show creators want to be funny. That said, I've been in a live studio audience once, and I vaguely recall some laughter being added in post-production for jokes that fell flat with the live audience.

Red Dwarf is another UK show that used a live studio audience for laughter, though I haven't seen it since I was a kid so I don't know whether I'd like it today.

I loved Red Dwarf!  It was, like, pinnacle of intentionally cheesy sci-fi.  I really liked the theme song too.

I also read something about How I Met Your Mother getting their laugh track by showing their episodes to test viewers and recording them laughing.

Well they did announce it as an official change and had a big production around it.

Ohmygod SportsNight didn't originally have a laugh track? I need to give it another shot. I apparently unintentionally watched that version and didn't know it wasn't the original.

Most underrated show ever.

1) My name is a name, it has a capital letter in it
2) Nope, southern. My hometown is south of Cambridge even. That said I didn't go to a boarding school.

I know its real. It was also released on April 1st. It is a joke, despite being serious.

I was trying to make a joke, but I guess on the internet it's hard to get what people mean sometimes. Whatever.

I stumbled upon this website today: http://www.kleinbottle.com/index.htm

If you want to buy a real Klein Bottle (immersed into three dimensions) made from glass, check this website out! If you don't, but want a good laugh, also check it out.

Cliff Stoll is pure awesome.  We've purchased from him before.

Their kickstarter claims it's satire. After watching the videos there, I think they don't know what satire is.

This just came onto my radar on YT, and I think this just about sums it up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=18b0XYf05tA#t=914
From there for about 40 seconds. Yeah...

This is still the part I find most hilarious/scary.

Oh, yeah, that as well.

Really this game, I can't tell if it's meant to be a serious, but humourous, game (think e.g. Galaxy Trucker or maybe more Munchkin), or if it's just meant to be a parody of Monopoly and terrible board gaming mechanics. I just... wow... I really can't (or maybe don't want to) believe someone made this as a genuine attempt to be a legitimate game.
