swampster Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 And by that, i mean in comedies and dramas rather than HSP or Late Night Poker. Been working on this for work, but if anyone has more suggestions, post em here. 1. Deadwood Great Wild Bill Hickok scene in a great series. Great use of the word 'cnut' too. tinyurl.com/dlt87j 2. Star Trek: Next Generation The greatest minds in physics ante up for a little poker action, including a guest-starring Stephen Hawking. tinyurl.com/cn6k5r 3. Family Guy “That’s some poker face you got, Peter.” How could we NOT have a Family Guy clip in here? tinyurl.com/y9wwuld 4. Only Fools and Horses “I’ve got two pairs - a pair of aces, and another pair of aces.” Del Boy and Boycie go head to head and show that live poker is most definitely rigged. tinyurl.com/ydgvc9o 5. Friends “I fold like a cheap hooker who got hit in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face.” Where in Friends-land, hands are won by fluttering your eyelashes and asking for the cards you need. tinyurl.com/yzwn4o4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galronix Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Re: Greatest TV Poker Scenes Yeah,. i had Big Deal on my original list but i dont remember the programme originally. Sure it involves him getting the shit kicked out of him for winning a poker game tho. SO MANY poker games in Eastenders. Where do you start ?! A scene that sticks in my mind from Big Deal is where Robbie is in a card game and is clearing up. He realises that he's gonna get a kicking but decides on going to the toilet and leaves his cash on the table. Whilst in the toilet he see's he can get out of the toilet window. He then finds an empty toilet roll, squashes it then wraps a £20 around it. He goes back to the table and plays a couple of hands and announces he needs the toilet again as he has a dodgy stomach. What they didn't see was Robbie swap his cash for the "toilet roll". He goes back to the toilet, climbs out the window and legs it. :lol You can get series 1 on DVD but the BBC have no plans to distribute series 2. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
