Meet the Vindaloovians | Red Dwarf | BBC Comedy Greats

[@paulkerrigan9857]

When "Tarka Dal" pokes his tongue out at the end, that's when I just lost it.

[@WinLoveCry]

🤣

[@AzguardMike]

saw thumbnail and came to say "the alien is just a mouth upside down" but seeing the clip i realise THATS THE JOKE and its great!!!

[@williamcrowe2576]

Took me a long time to find out that "Tarker Dal" and "Bindi Baji" were the names of Indian cuisine dishes, hence the name Vindaloovians.

[@massimookissed1023]

Tesco sells tarka dal. I think of this scene every time I see it in the aisles.

[@faithlesszealot5032]

​@@massimookissed1023Tarka Dal actually slaps it's a really good dish which I get regularly

[@minicle426]

0:57 I love how it takes a brief moment to dawn on the audience just what they're looking at. XD

[@oxmys]

I just wish the Vindaloovian gag had gone on for longer.

[@borgduck]

+oxmys What?! You mean it didn't?!

[@Arbiter1414]

Feel like that might have possibly killed the joke, like if ace rimmer showed up every other episode

[@WalkerRileyMC]

@@Arbiter1414 I dunno....they keep beating the dead horse that is the space corps directives joke over and again.....focusing on something else for awhile would have livened it up a bit.

[@Arbiter1414]

@@WalkerRileyMC yeah, but I think the difference is the space core directive was a running joke, while that is just not fit for a similar purpose

[@foreignfat6009]

@@Arbiter1414 Twice was more than enough....

[@AndrewChapman]

Love watching the smeg ups of this scene where the eyeballs fell off their chins. Or when they're trying to pass them back to Kryten, who kept dropping them while acting blind.

[@mrk45]

The funniest part is Kryten's reaction when he puts his eyes back in and sees the Simulants.

[@rustkarl]

This is why I love Red Dwarf. My first episode

[@Negamare1]

Terrorform was my first episode.

[@twilightjester5672]

as for me, it was Quarantine

[@neilgerace355]

0:02 I love the use of those old motherboards.

[@Halinspark]

I cant get over how the Simulant looks like an evil Luigi.

[@AndrewChapman]

"Mamma mia! I'ma Rogue Simulant!"

[@ennbee2051]

That 'Luigi' looky like is 'Big' Dennis Lil.

[@izzy_izzy_izzybelle]

so waluigi then lol

[@zephyr8072]

No, Waluigi is Stupid Pointless Luigi.

[@domswinchin4832]

Classic red dwarf... Best comedy show EVER!!!

[@MrKaywyn]

Probably my all time favourite scene from series VI.

[@MikeyMUnited]

Hilarious, is this not right, Bindi Baji?

[@TheLashDog]

you bet

[@ETH5626]

I love Rimmer's Space Corp Directive gag in this situation. 2:08

[@AndrewChapman]

In the Series VI The Starbuggers DVD documentary, Robert Llewellyn jokes how Tarker Dal and Bindi Baji could've had their own series. Would've been so funny and fan-smegging-tastic if they'd done a series of mini sketches lol

[@scottiegirl2041]

Vindaloovians, eh? Wonder if they're related to the Curry Monster from "D.N.A"?

[@domswinchin4832]

Maybe

[@drxshock6957]

probably XD

[@nickmitsialis]

For a while I was addicted to the catch phrase: "Humans?! BAH! Vermin of the Universe!".

[@andrewomahony9260]

All they had to do was restrain Lister in cuffs, turn Rimmer off, and have Kryten run the ship with Cat, saying that they imprisoned Lister 🤣

[@zephyr8072]

They specifically say they hate any humanoid life so that would include Cat. They also hate mechanoids for having served humans.

[@biggusd8813]

@@zephyr8072 That's what I don't get. Surely they're 'humanoid' themselves?

[@OfficalFaint]

Bloody Cassandra's Dad is a Cyborg!

[@leephcom]

Well they're trying to convince the Simulants they're not human... by prentending to be Vindaloovians.

[@BenWillock]

Whoever uploaded it clearly didn't watch it

[@Yamibakurakitty4]

God I love this show

[@SyzygyNoon]

I’m glad he said “no offense “ because....wait...what were we talking about again?

[@ReverendSyn]

Wait, aren't there no actual aliens in Red Dwarf and every single species theyencounter is some offshoot of humanity. Byu their logic THEY should be an object of their own wrath

[@ramonsilvia6576]

About Hitler... that wasn't irony, it was a plan

@@Amadeus-ms9lt Here you are humiliating the xenophobic, genocidal maniac..

[@julianaylor4351]

Trust Dave Lister to call his alien fakes after his favourite food.

[@Olebull93]

Vindaloovians - Identified by having almost no upper cranial structure, one giant eye and a big giant mouth. The Vindaloovians despises all humans! But are happy to try out any hot sauce you might be carrying aboard. Glory to the Vindaloovian Empire! All taste buds must die!

[@DeathReviews]

Here we are in mortal danger, and you're worried about the Chinese delegate bringing TWO cars!

[@Nobody-471]

Can't you let just ONE go? I was talking about POWs and the right to non violent constraint!

[@GuestOfGregoryHouse]

Isn't that Cassandra's dad from Only Fools and Horses?

[@iantubeyou12321]

BEST EPISODE EVER!

[@spyrofan9681]

A running joke... theme... thing in Red Dwarf is that there is no alien life in space, just humans, robots and genetically engineered life. But if aliens ever do show up in Dwarf it should turn out the Vindaloonians are actually real.

[@ZoeMalDoran]

I read somewhere they actually do show up in some supplementary material (possibly the RPG) and do indeed look like what Lister and Cat were faking

[@SnackToxin]

Classic.

[@leeball4585]

I'm only here for the cute little black number with peach trim and gold spangles...

[@lydiajulianprower8356]

Sussie from Gumball is a Vindaloovian?

[@millionsmusthavefun92]

The Daleks if Doctor Who's special effects could get any worse

[@madhattergamer3567]

Writers would still find a way to make them better then anything Chris Chibnal could write though aye?

[@danielwilliamson6180]

1:16 LOL

[@georgeowain]

Would this gag be too much even for The Orville?

[@eviltaylor1]

Try "hyperdrive", way underated UK sci-fi with Nick Frost, they're all on dailymotion for free.

[@themedip]

It's funny how the simulants are the very thing they despise.

[@mistress9sama]

I told my children that Sussie from The Amazing World of Gumball might be a descendant of the Vandaloovians.

[@twilightjester5672]

"Gumball! (spit) the Vindaloo empire despise the show, they are the vermin of the universe, is this not right, Bindi Baji?"

[@rlinders9972]

Sussie, is that you?

[@jaxnean2663]

I love this

[@tehf00n]

Hates humanoids. Are humanoids. Nothing changed there then.

[@Amadeus-ms9lt]

They certainly like Indian food.

[@twilightjester5672]

well, one of them does.

[@BYERE]

Y'know, it just now occurs to me that if the rogue Simulants hate all forms of humanoid life, shouldn't they hate themselves for being humanoid in appearance?

[@zephyr8072]

Yes, but they’re also completely insane so logic doesn’t factor into their behaviour.

[@BYERE]

@@zephyr8072 That's a fair point...

[@anonb4632]

Bit of a mistake here - Lister is actually the only human on board Starbug...

[@lewisnorth1188]

Anon B they hate humanoids too

[@JzanderN]

It's a joke about how, despite being the only live human there, he looks the least like one.

[@Davidk9292]

The dude explains it in the clip; "a human, a humanoid, a hologramatical human and a mechanoid who is a slave to humans."

[@GideonGleeful95]

I always found this ironic since they are also humanoid robots

[@twilightjester5672]

@K Harper his more Human then Rimmer, for starter, he has a spine.

[@sminkycorp]

why you would present to a race of hunter killers as 2 vegetarian dishes i will never know

[@tomasmilne7346]

:P

It was a great show until they put women in it, then it wasn't worth watching as they aint funny.
