what the Smeg in hell was that welcome
to watchmojo.com field hologram crammed
into Galactica's ODEs from the brilliant
TV series but is Red Dwarf before we
begin if you enjoyed this video be sure
to subscribe for more great content a
series spanning 30 years and Counting is
become one of the most loved sci-fi
shows around with cult characters just
as ludicrous as its plot lines are
ridiculous but which episodes reign
supreme
starbug start your engines number 10
backwards
wormholes black holes and even white
holes are a common sight in Red Dwarf so
the guys should be used to a quick time
jump that is quite obviously a blue
giant about to go supernova that is a
time but something in this episode isn't
quite right mainly the 1993 they've
troubled back to his backwoods boxes
fall onto trucks guns sock bullets out
of people deodorant keeps you sweaty and
when you go the toilet well
an excellent example of the crew
interacting with a shape-shifting
environments backwards is packed full of
memorable quotes and physical comedy
including a particularly satisfying
barber also acts as a clean up montage
tidy number nine marooned in what is
essentially a glorified bottle episode
marooned sees Rimmer and Lister stranded
on an icy planet with only each other
and the bitter cold for company still
snowing is it unlike many other crazed
and varied episodes in the series
marooned focuses more on the
relationship between the two unlikely
friends as they reminisce over a banning
barrel and fight for survival those
things you always remember of course
unforgettable witty dialogue is
sprinkled throughout for the sheer
stripped-back nature of it reminds us
that it's the great writing and
razor-sharp characters that make this
series so epic and not necessarily it's
deep space setting you've made a supreme
sacrifice you know that a supreme
sacrifice number eight the Inquisitor on
the surface this episode looks a little
heavy religious and well downright
intense for something typical Red Dwarf
the famed Inquisitor a simulant with a
god complex
visits Red Dwarf and acts as judge jury
and executioner to those who have led
worthless lives so our crew a sitting
ducks forcing them to reflect on their
own existence we get to see them try and
worm their way out of seth and death
with the most impressive candidate
undoubtedly being Rimmer it's the
Archangel Gabriel well that's me
converted I'm a new man hallelujah and
even though as the inquisitors case
builds we see he's got a point we can't
help but love the guys in all of their
dysfunctional ways sir I am programmed
to relinquish my life that's why the
mechanoid 4000 series was voted android
of the year 5
years running number seven queeg
ever had a computer virus run our key
school teacher or an annoying older
brother this is kind of like that with
long serving Red Dwarf computer Holly on
the blink the dwarf has turns a backup
system queeg 500 to help from the ship
unknowing of the system's rigorous ways
of keeping crew members in check he's
got an IQ of 6,000 yeah right is that
what he told you well what is it then it
has a six in it but it's not 6,000 what
is it played brilliantly by an
intimidating Charles organs the guys do
everything from cleaning floors to
running lamps which makes life on board
agony god help us queeg has got to go
look what he's done to my cuticles the
man is Amelia in comparison the ditzy
Holly starts to look better than ever
and we get to watch a grueling chess
game as the loveable computer fights his
way back to the top spots but Holly
knows what he's doing
don't worry Queen to rook a checkmate
about an illegal move oh sorry Queens
don't move like that I was thinking of
poker number six better than life with
virtual reality creeping into our lives
more and more never has this episode
being so on points amiss outing the crew
delve into the virtual reality program
better than life to live out their
deepest fantasies be a beautiful women
or in Lister's case a caviar vindaloo
and rare wine in a pint glass I always
do this when someone gives me food of
course Rimmer and his neurotic
personality ruins it for the rest of
them has he conjured up an emotionally
aggressive manraja of his dad a mortgage
and deadly ants that are about to ESA's
face my brains rebelled he just won't
accept nice things happening to me this
episode is littered with loads of little
gems and one-liners Davin viewers tuning
into repeats for years
number five white hole time loops are a
recurring theme in Red Dwarf we see in
the episode future echoes but never
quite as hilariously executed as in
Whitehall so where does this leave us
leaves us floating aimlessly in space
with no navigation and a rapidly
diminishing emergency power supply with
time spewing back into the universe and
resulting in multiple time loops at
seemingly random intervals we are
treated to comical and attempts
frustrating conversations between the
crew this episode also sees the birth of
a stubborn talking toaster and cats
unforgettable so what is it line so what
is it only joking
a dwarf classic that will have you
frantically sketching timelines in a
notepad you can't help but think about
it when you get deja vu
wait what has happened I should like to
take this opportunity of saying that you
are the most obnoxious trumped-up dirty
little smeghead to encounter number four
polymorph ah yes
polymorph alien meets the thing meets
red dwarf how do you stop a
shape-shifting mutant that can turn into
anything with great difficulty
whether it's morphing into a snake giant
monster or Lister's andhis the polymorph
makes for interesting TV well I can't
say I'm totally shocked feeling on
negative emotions the creature changes
the personalities of our crew members
making Crichton a Defiance teenager and
cat a scruffy bomb one of the most
memorable monsters in the series it
reminds us that in space you can never
really trust anyone or anything
number three gunman of the apocalypse
who doesn't love a Western on a mission
secure Crichton of a computer virus
Lister Rimmer and cat and said the
mechanoids subconscious which just so
happens to look like the ruthless
streets of a spaghetti western
apocalypse boys is here
he's asking for you Sheriff
I'll be right out brimming with film
references and colorful characters
including Brett riverboats knife
extraordinaire and dangerous Dan McGrew
who just wants some ginger ale we get to
watch the red dwarf comedy formula play
out in one of cinema's most memorable
settings the man beans up in the head of
fair strangler McGee is how the mighty
brave or merry stupid which are you boy
sorry what were the choices again sci-fi
mixed with a Western mixed with comedy
what could be better number two
quarantine just when you thought Rimmer
couldn't get any more irritating he
contracts the hollow virus puts on a
checkered dress and starts terrorizing
the crew after returning from a trip in
starbug the guys are sent a quarantine
by Rimmer who seems to be acting a
little odd I'm sitting here wearing a
red and white checked gingham dress and
army boots
you think that son of this as the virus
eats away at Remus sanity he defers to
his assistant in crime mr flibble to
make life even harder for his crewmates
cutting off their oxygen and trying to
zap him with his hex vision it's a good
job Lister had access to the lock virus
to get them out of the tight spot we
can't possibly do that would clear up
the mess before we reveal our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions you
have a connoisseur chip just because I
look like Herman Munster stunt man
doesn't appreciate art sir I shall
return with the feast tonight schedule
feature has been canceled and replaced
by a special live pay-per-view event
brought to you courtesy of Karate TV how
long was I in stasis well I couldn't
release you until the radiation reached
a safe background level how long three
million years three million years number
one back to reality
what if Bret dwarf was all a virtual
reality computer game and Lister Rimmer
cat and Kryten with the players cue back
to reality during a dangerous
investigation of a wreckage the guys
suddenly wake up in a simulator where
they've apparently spent the last four
years playing the game Red Dwarf I'm not
a hologram I'm half human now back to
their real lives they have to come to
terms with who they are
beer a fascist police chief flight
listener homeless Rimmer or goofball cat
it's yet another example of writers rock
grunts and dog nail accreting another
compelling stage for great characters to
perform on and it reminds us that it
doesn't matter where they are what
timeline they are in the dwarfish will
always be our favorite space comedy crew
hello for the three thousandth time
you're hallucinating could anyone hear
me
