Red Dwarf is a British science fiction sitcom that first aired on BBC Two in 1988, created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. Dave Lister, a low-ranking technician stranded three million years in the future, is defined in part by his obsession with curry, lager and vindaloo, which became one of the show's longest running gags. Short Lister curry lines were later clipped from episodes and shared on soundboards and in edits, where this rude one-liner survives as a compact reminder of the show's laddish, food-obsessed humour.
