Peter Serafinowicz: 6 degrees of.

I Really do love Peter Serafinowicz. I want to talk about him for a bit.

 

Look at That Face!

You may recognise him as the asshole flatmate from Shaun of Dead:

(From EdgarWright's Blog)

Or the Sexy Voiced Ex from Black Books:

(Yes that is what his voice does to people, English Will Arnett ?)

Or from Look Around You:

If you don't know him from these things, or don't know of these things go & buy these things on DVD (See below) & find out about funny. Just that list of stuff should tell you how super-duper he is, but he also passes one of my number one tests of super-duperness, he was great on Never Mind The Buzzcocks (Josh Groban also falls into this category, oh so much more on him later.)

The main reason for me bringing him up, apart from his DVD being out & selling really quickly, (& I mention him in my description.) is how fun he is to play 6 Degrees with. The reason why I'm bringing it up in a blog about making a TV show is I'm writing an episode about playing 6 Degrees.

I decided that I wanted someone with quite a long name & was think about maybe using Zach Galifianakis. Who is easy to connect to American stuff, but not so easy for anything else (If you haven't seen his old VH1 show Late World With Zach. most it is on You Tube, yes the guests on that show are Henry Rollins & Ray Romano, yes that's just fucking super.) Our Peter however has done a number of things that mean 6 Degrees is super fun with him. Also he has the kind of hard to pronounce name that's funny when you say it over & over again.

(See: Brian Boitano from the South Park movie South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut song What Would Brian Boitano Do? in which the name is repeated many times. Although his name is not that hard repetition is funny, but I'll get to that. SO if a name is going to be said over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over, the longer it is, the funnier it is.)

I'm bringing it up now because his DVD is out. The Peter Serafinowicz Show was AMAZING (Did I mention that before? The DVD being out, FINALLY, did I?). 

Here are a number of clips from it:

The DVD has finally been released. BUY IT! 

Now back to 6 Degrees. Originally this was done with Jesus. We are only 6 generations away from Jesus, or my parents were or something. This is no fun to play as IMDB cannot be used to prove you've got it right.

6 Degrees of  Kevin Bacon was the original I belive.If you aren't sure how to play this you are stupid, but the rules are simple:

1. Person A names someone.

2. Person B tries to link them to Kevin Bacon is less than 6 steps. 

3. Each Person counts as a step.

(There are more rules than that in our games, but arguing about them forms most the script, so....no.)

Popular With Gays. Also Doesn't age.

I like this game. I'm good at it. Here is how I connect Kevin Bacon to Peter Serafinowicz:

1. Kevin Bacon was in SLEEPERS with BRAD PITT who was in BURN AFTER READING with GEORGE CLOONEY who was in MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS with EWAN MCGREGOR who is in STAR WARS: EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE which featured Peter Serafinowicz as the voice of Darth Maul.

Yes, he is the James Earl Jones of Ep One. He RULES 

Years ago me & a good friend of mine used to play this game ALL the time, normally when we were drunk & sharing a bed together. Sarah Michelle Gellar was our Kevin Bacon. (Guest voice on the "The Simpsons" Episode: The Wandering Juvie (2004), which stars Hank Azaria, who was in Run Fatboy Run with Simon Pegg, who was in Shaun Of The Dead with Peter Serafinowicz). I only tell you this to put this picture in my post:

 Look, centre side boob! That's just great SMG!
Fanks!

So in conclusion: Peter Serafinowicz: He is as super-duper as Sarah Michelle Gellar's centre side boob.

GO AND BUY EVERYTHING HE HAS EVER BEEN IN NOW!

Just to prove a point: Peter Serafinowicz was in Couples Retreat with Vince Vaughn who was in Wedding Crashers with Bradley Cooper who was in The Hangover with Zach Galifianakis. (I could have gone via Owen WIlson who was in Fantastic Mr Fox as was Jason Schwartzman who is in Bored To Death with the AWESOME Zach Galifianakis.)

"But you mentioned Will Arnett & Josh Groban as well? Bet you can't connect them as well..."
Fuck you. Of Course I can. 
"Bet you can't contact all 3 in some super 6 Degrees...."  
SUPER FUCK YOU! I can.

Josh Groban was in Ally Mcbeal  as was Jane Krakowski who is in 30 Rock with Will Arnett who was in Monsters Vs Aliens with Hugh Laurie who was in Murder Most Horrid as was Peter Serafinowicz.

I rule at this game. RULE. (I'm also a giant NERD)
