Fantastic picture! That is possibly my favourite ever Red Dwarf episode!
"I'd like to let you out, but the King of the Potato People won't let me."
"Can we speak to him?"
"Do you have a Magic Carpet?"
"Uh...yeah! A four-seater!"
"So you're telling me you want to fly on a Four Seater Magic Carpet to talk to the King of the Potato People, to beg for your freedom? And you expect me to believe you're sane?"

I presuming you know the basics of Red Dwarf...um, how to explain this?
Right, Rimmer (the hologram) catches a virus via radio waves from another hologram, who tries to kill the rest of the group. Rimmer is onboard Red Dwarf at the time, with the rest of the group out exploring a crashed vessel.
When they try to return to Red Dwarf, he places them in quarantine (hence the name of the episode) and appears on the video screen dressed in army boots and a gingham...dress. After tormenting them with various mad speeches, they escape quarantine, at which point Rimmer's Telepathy kicks in and he starts stalking them through RD attempting to kill them in a variety of fun ways.
The quote in question (huzzah! he's thinking! at last!) comes at some point towards the end, with Rimmer wandering down a corridor with a dreamy look on his face. Mr Flibble is the hand puppet he keeps talking to.
The other great quote from this episode is this:
"What shall we do with them, Mr Flibble?" *Mr Flibble whispers in Rimmers ear*
"We can't do THAT. Who would clear up the mess?"

Or, like me, he saw images like these elsewhere. Of course, where I saw this used at, it was at a non-grandmother-compatible location. Very cool effect, making pictures like that.

Further, when Rimmer gets his psychic powers, he manifested them through his hand puppet, Mr. Flibble, as "hex rays" that he blasted the rest of the crew with.
I put up this avatar in a fit vieled mockery when a long time regular of these boards proceeded to "blast" me with their "sock puppet" ID. (Darkness knows who...)
Plus I love Red Dwarf.

Really? How can any D&D player's favorite NOT be the despair squid episode?

I just loved Flibble! And Kryten gets a lot of very funny lines in that episode...

Did you ever get to see the two out takes videos they did?

I don't get Psionicist's avatar. Is it one of those pictures that you can see in two different ways? I can see neither.

I saw these large elephants tethered to a small stake. I asked him, 'How can you keep such a large elephant tied to such a small stake?' He said, 'When the elephants are small, they try to pull out the stake, and they fail. When they grow large, they never try to pull out the stake again.' That parable reminds me that we have to go for what we think we're fully capable of, not limit ourselves by what we've been in the past." -Vivek Paul

Nope.
I recorded the whole series when they did the marathon on BBCA, but I think I missed the smeg-ups (which they also ran.)
