January 2013 Media Thread

RobertLumley

This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.

Rules:

Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don't personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person's recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.
If you want to post something that (you know) has been recommended before, but have another recommendation to add, please link to the original, so that the reader has both recommendations.
Please use the comment trees for genres. There is a meta thread for comments about future threads.
If you think there should be a thread for a particular genre of media, please post it to the Other Media thread for now, and add a poll to the Meta thread asking if it should be a thread every month.

I think the comment you're replying to was just a reflectivity fail on my part

Story time: my girlfriend asked me "why is British humour funnier?" and I wondered for two seconds and forgot about it. Then I saw shminux's comment and it reminded me so I just asked, and the assumption that British humour IS better was smuggled into my brain because it was embedded in the question I was asked. I probably meant something more like "why do I tend to like British humour better", and now it seems like a stupid thing to ask here. So I'm probably going to lean towards hypothesis 4 unless I learn something new about their culture or television networks.

Heh. I'm not really sure if all of that was worth sharing but I felt like I'd caught myself being silly so I felt an impulse to publicly admit it.
