Lady Galaga posted:That Derren Brown thing was pretty crazy, but how can that dude sign up for TV Show and go to interviews but cant do the same for switching to a career in the Police? Derren Brown annoys me because so much of what he does is completely batshit and beyond the realm of an illusionist and yet I'm compelled to believe it's true for no real reason other than wishful thinking. "There's no way that guy on the plane and his family were all actors because that would be so lame." "Oh man, that would totally suck if his Lottery prediction was just a camera trick." This kind of bullshit logic must be how cults and MLMs and poo poo get popular.

TV Burp is getting worse. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad which is bad because it used to be all good, all the time. I think there's too much reliance on callbacks and poo poo like that. Yes, Heather from EastEnders is an unattractive woman but I don't need to see some fat gently caress dressed up like her acting like a moron every time something vaguely food-related happens.

WNN! was poo poo and Holiday Hotspots was kind of lame. Mitchell's debate around the table with the ex-banker and the other folk was far, far too short considering the number of people actually involved. The highlight for me was definitely Brooker's Newswipe style spiel about Tunisia (line flubbing aside). Everything else was pretty decent. Hopefully they'll be able to distill it down to just the things that worked over the next fifteen weeks, but I could see a lack of willingness to drop pre-recorded material loving that up a bit. Oh, and the audience needs to shut the gently caress up. Laughing is fine, but going WOOOOOOOO in the middle of a Serious Conversation is not only kind of retarded but actually wastes a fair bit of time, which they already have precious little of. luvd posted:Not getting the Carr hate.

Episodes has it's own thread but it is not a particularly active one. I think it's decent, but the network executive guy is far too two-dimensional and basically just a plot device to get people mad at each other. Matt LeBlanc is definitely the strongest part of it, as far as I'm concerned. e: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:Geordie Shore Won't you people ever learn?

Mitchell at the roundtable coming up a funny thing about Alastair Campbell. Should have said it at the time, silly! Oh, and am I just imagining it, or does the pace seem slower and calmer this week than the franticness of last week? edit: I'm liking the Carr interview a lot better than the Mitchell one!

SeanBeansShako posted:I just wish they'd drop the live studio audience at the start when they were introducing themselves they were louder than the presenters. Also the other thing that's bugging me about 10 O'Clock Live is how Jimmy seems to be using the "look towards crowd then make a bewildered face to the camera" thing after at least half the jokes in his monologue bit. I mean, it's kind of funny, but it probably won't stay funny.

Lord Dekks posted:Beckham [...] of Peckham I know exactly what you mean though. "2012 countdown ready to go" was one that caught my attention. The article was not about the Apocalypse but instead about Olympic tickets going on sale. The meltdown stuff in particular is... well, not exactly annoying me but certainly raising a couple of my eyebrows. It'll be mentioned in the article that a meltdown "like Chernobyl" is highly unlikely whilst vaguely implying elsewhere that Hey! This is kind of like Chernobyl you guys! The Tokyo situation comes on the International Nuclear Events Scale at around a four but some guy said it might be a five or six oh btw Chernobyl was a seven THAT'S KIND OF CLOSE OH NO Get your jet black hair dye and razorblades at the ready because HERE COMES THE FALLOUT, BOY.
