So last season dark josie was there for the whole of 2b how many eps will she last for this season? Is this a one episode thing or will she be there for a few eps then dissappear again?
Honestly, it has become very frustrating. They’re promoted like important characters, but rarely have plots. There is no argument her this season has 22 episodes, yet Josie and Kevin barely get plots at all. Kevin i don’t even recall getting anything, besides he’s little sex in the woods scandal, and Josie barely has anything.
I have an issue with this because 1 they’ve wasted time changing the core four personalities 50 times instead of developing the other two characters that they promote with every season poster and promo as if they’re actually going to be important. They seem to only be careful with developing Cheryl. I don’t get me wrong the core four have developed it just happens too fast like a course of half an episode Betty is innocent to a vicious dark betty like what, compared to Cheryl who has actually gradually changed overtime.
Hi all, I've got two tickets for Josie Long at Bath Komedia this Thursday 20th Feb but I'm moving house that day so can't make it now. They're 18 quid each face value but selling for £20 for both. Let me know if you're interested.
I was googling something else and stumbled upon an old Chortle article referring to Richard being upset because Andrew Collins had taken up a Saturday morning show with Josie Long on BBC 6. Apparently Richard and Andrew had used to present that show.
Anyway, it got me thinking about the only time that RHLSTP has left me feeling a bit odd. I'm currently ploughing gamely through all of the RHLSTPs in order and generally really enjoy them, especially ones that I didn't expect to. But his Josie Long show was really off. It felt like he had done almost no research and didn't really want her there. At one point she's excruciatingly begging him to ask her a proper question.
Do you think he set her up for some sort of weird revenge thing? Or booked her but couldn't bring himself to engage properly?
Edit: Andrew Collins, not Adam.
Recently bought the game. Like mentioned, I have been playing since Tekken 2. However, I was more of a button smasher type of player. Now, I am really getting into Tekken 7. Just wondering what are some of good combos to use with these characters. I main Josie, but I still am pretty bad with her and only know one good combo that doesn't really do much. Any tips would be appreciated.
A couple of years ago I saw a commercial on YT (Don't remember how) of about 2-3 commercials about rehab (or something like that).
The only comedian I remember in one of these commercials was Josie Long. I don't know how popular she is in Australia - I'm a Canadian man and obviously don't get Australian TV. I was watching episodes of "Thank God You're Here" (A wonderful improv show) and I think that's where I remember seeing the commercial. (One of those episodes with the commercials in the Youtube video).
It started out with Josie on stage telling a joke about a cousin who had a run in with drugs or alcohol. Suddenly, the laughter stops, the spotlight goes away, and in the background is the cousin in a hospital bed. When you get rid of one of the walls and add an audience, anything can become a joke, but when you look at the reality of a situation - you realize how sad it is.
This commercial to me has always been one that's very rememberable and poignant to me.
I tried to Google it up the wazoo. Searching drinking & drinking, AA, rehab. Nothing. Any Aussies in here can help, maybe?
