Any good Hi Fi cartoons?

Audiophool: Oh wow that's amazing ... you're right compared to the other one 11 sounds so much better!

Another, from the mid-80s (Alas, Smith & Jones):

Both sketches brilliant.  I'd forgotten how good Smith & Jones were.

Always loved the comedy from this pair.  The World According to Smith & Jones series had me in stitches many years ago.  One line I've always cherished from the show this clip belongs to is 'Dolby is a very advanced system that allows you to listen to your cassette with the little green light on or off'.  

Maybe a little too poignant for this forum? And yes, there's a coil in one of the speaker cables

Thanks Joe/Everyone

I'm really enjoying this oasis of a thread after all the depressing Trump, Labour, and Brexit posts.

Well Winky, I could draw you a verbal map but that's likely to get moderated.

There's no real need to explain humor. You get it or you don't. You didn't, so we'll move on. Thanks for your reply.

I suspect not getting it shows you in a better light than people who do get it... :-)

Are you familiar with the ZZ Top track "Tube steak boogie" ?

Oh, I understand the double meaning all right. What I don't get is why anyone would think it was funny.

Supporting Winky's comments... lovely* to see that misogyny is alive and well in the Naim forums!

*no; really it's not lovely to see! I'm not a prude... just wrong place!

Sorry, but I fail to see what is misogynistic about it. It is a crude and rather dated cartoon.

It could be criticised as being not funny or even in poor taste, but it is not really misogynistic, is it? Neither is the person who posted it necessarily a misogynist (unless you know something the rest of us don't).

Examples of misogyny: FGM, what happens in places like Saudi Arabia, most religions, etc. Serious stuff, that destroys lives and stunts human development.

Hysterical overuse  of terms like 'fascism' and 'misogyny' merely devalues them and robs them of their meaning.

Misogyny? Wrong place?  Jesus Christ, it's the padded cell.

I took your response to my posting of an obviously dated cartoon as misandry. I am a prude, and furthermore find your avatar belittling to canine intelligence .

Anyhow, back to hi-fi cartoons.
