Simple but highly effective. S1 of Black Books is pretty much Sitcom Heaven as far as I'm concerned - and full of Quotable Quotes ('I've swallowed the Little Book Of Calm!') but this is one of my favourites, for the sheer nuttiness factor. One of my laziest icons - just a favourite quote on a block colour background - no frills.



Done by the Forever Fab Missy C, this is one of an Emo!Colin batch, and a very pretty one too. Depressed Colin is a rare and vulnerable thing, and terribly nice looking. From the ultimate ColAngst episode 'Something Terrible Part 2', the boy broods on the School Stairs with his 90s Curtains, horrible shirt and sovvies. *sigh*. The way Miss C has made this icon makes it look like he's being plagued by a flying Rubik's cube!



Can't remember off the top of my head who made this one - I'd have to check on my Userpics page. But I was delighted to have discovered some Big Train icons, not to mention, animated ones. 'Evil Hypnotist' is a great sketch, almost exclusively because of The Actor Kevin Eldon's typically manic performance... although Mark Heap's spinny bow-tie made me laugh a lot too. This icon's good for when I'm Scheming.



Another really simple one from a slice of Sitcom Heaven - the 'My Lovely Horse' dream sequence from Father Ted. Just took a cap off Youtube, cropped it and badabing - an iconic image of culty weirdness. 'It was a Spiderbaby, Ted!'



Argh! Again, can't recall off the top of my head who made this one, but I'm sure it would be from the dr_beckett community. Al was always my favourite on Quantum Leap - I loved that cigar chomping, tree-hugging, womanising hologram big time. This icon's good for when I'm stressing out. I use it rather a lot.



I found myself in possession of a collection of penguin pictures (I was making icons for seal_girl at the time) so I decided to make one into an icon celebrating one of my fave H2G2 quotes ever. Simon Jones' delivery of the line in the radio version (the definitive medium, as far as I'm concerned) is just perfect, and it's a great response to general weirdness. Bit of a lazy icon in itself, but there you go.
