Is anyone going to be watching that new Phone Shop that's been advertised loads on Channel 4 when it's on? Anyone? No thought not. What scares me most about it is they may have put the best jokes on the advert, I'm cringing at the thought of the lesser material on it.

DaWolfey posted:I loved that but my friends found it bewildering. It was on UKPlay. The best gameshow where the winner lost... If you're ever in Edinburgh for the fringe try and catch his AGM. About an hour of FutrTV/Attention Scum stand up and poetry, then off to an art gallery (which seemed a lot more like just one of his mates houses), for wine and a nice game of Chess-Pool. reality_groove posted:The internet is no doubt chock full of hilarity as most of us are aware, however it seems that every comedy show now uses youtube clips and website comments to replace actual content. I'm looking at you Russell Howard's Good News and [b]Have I Got News for You.[b] The worst part is it used to be quite good rather than just 'Oh look at this funny youtube clip'. Good news is a format built on lazy, HIGNFY is one that slowly descended. reflir posted:David Mitchell has never been on Never mind the buzzcocks. Paul Foot probably came closest. Stephen Fry was a guest team captain once... He looked rather out of place, but it was a very good show, though if he was on all the time it may have started to grate (or just become increasingly fantastic).

marktheando posted:They should either cancel HIGNFY or get a new permanent host and new team captains. As great as Hislop and Merton have been in the past I'm just really fed up with them doing the same old poo poo every week. If I remember rightly didn't Merton leave for a series or 2? Mind this was probably 15ish years ago. Was he focusing on stand up, then decided HIGNFY was easier?

The Hawaii bits are awful, because of that woman host. Have you noticed she keeps saying stuff is fantastic, brilliant or amazing in the most uninterested voice often while changing the subject.

I'm forever getting Josie Long and Josie D'Arby mixed up, listened to about 10 minutes thinking that it was the ex CBBC presenter. It made sense in my mind because she's done some comedy things like the second series of Look Around You. I'll try not to make this mistake again. What makes it worse is that Josie Long has a really distinct voice.

Though it does feel like they have done this to spite me as I'm off for 2 weeks, and I have to leave the house about 10 past 8 to get to work so I never catch a full episode.

The Perfect Element posted:Mid Morning Matters is one of the densest pieces of comedy I think I've ever seen. There are just SO many funny moments crammed into the like 8 minutes that it's impossible to savour every single one. It's got the same sort of pace as Arrested Development, in a way. 11 Minutes according to places. I'm liking Alan's quote on the return of the series. Star of the show Alan Partridge said: "I've always been more than comfortable in my association with this warmly regarded mid-range lager. I am quietly flabbergasted that the good people at Foster's think that, by associating themselves with my webcast, people will consume more of their product. "I don't drink it myself but I'm familiar with it and firmly believe that the 20-30 age demographic should have access to affordable lager. Going forward, I look forward to moving forward with Foster's in an atmosphere of bland co-operation. It's a good fit. It feels right. I like it."

Kojiro posted:Dang, that must've been a shock. He was aces on the show, my favourite part of it, easily. Shame he went out like he did, that was a little lame. I thought they would have done more with the Hal being an Old One angle. Everyone just seemed to accept it rather too quickly rather than being extra weary of him, or shouting at him more than usual. Maybe they'll bring back the Mark Gatiss character with an 'old ones can't die easily' or just saying that he didn't get staked like they bought Herrick back with That said I did really enjoy the last 3 episodes.

My old boss at work missed the last episode of this, so he asked his mate what happened. It turns out the 3 main characters were bank robbers that fled Ireland after a huge heist and assumed the identity of priests so they could live a quite life with no bother on Craggy Island. No one would suspect a priest robbing a bank. The last episode was about the cops twigging on and surrounding the island to recapture the dangerous criminals. I think it ended in a big shoot out, possibly with Mrs Doyle as a hostage. It was a few years before he managed to catch the real last episode, he was very disappointing when he saw it.

Buml0r posted:It is bothering me enormously that I don't know this, because it means my one true skill is flagging. I can sing you songs from Chips' Comic for flip's sake, I should be on top of this. s it the days of the week song, "Turn around it's Monday again"? Because that gets stuck in my head periodically. I was going to guess Henry's Cat for the music but after flicking through an episode on YouTube it has no incidental music. Though the style of music on the theme tune kinda fits. Also thanks to my brother I've sat through an entire episode of Penny Crayon.. I don't think the music was from that now.

Ok, strange request, but did anyone have Sky back in the early nineties? Early as in before The Children's Channel was TCC? The thing is with my Dad's sky box you could turn the audio channels over to French, German etc. and somehow one day I found that turning over to a certain audio channel gave English Audio, but the ad breaks were odd. Every advert had the exact same tune, but depending on the advert the tune was a different length (as in made especially for that length of advert) or in a different key. I used to love that song, but I got banned from switching to that audio channel because it done my families head in. In case it jogs anyone's memory (or if people want to get inside the head of someone who had a crazy dream and believes it), here is my approximation of that tune for a very short advert.

sex pervert posted:I've seen ads for two different shows in which Olivia Colman (Sophie off Peepshow) was doing a "devastated face" and walking towards the camera. One of them was shown a lot. I guess that's her specialty. Voice of McVities chocolate digestives too! It's starting to feel like every consumer item I can think of has had an ad voiced by a Peepshow actor. I always think of her as Carrie from the car insurance advert. "Carrie??" "Barry?" "Barry???" "Carrie????"

Junkenstein posted:There's definitely something up with The Big Bang Theory audience laughter. A lot of the time it's just completely disproportionate to the joke. I haven't seen many epiosdes but it occasionaly has a clever little line that's worth a knowing nod and a chuckle, but the 'audience' will be howling with laughter. It really takes you out of it. I've never noticed that with older stuff like Friends, Seinfeld or whatever, or modern multi-cam US sitcoms like How I met your mother. I think the worst was later series of Married with Children. Whenever someone came through a door there was around a minute of cheering/applause.

I still think it's there to try and make you sound like a liar when talk to Americans 'OK, so there is a show on over here, where instead of going to the doctors you just go to a TV studio. And they show this at 8 in the evening. And every episode they show boobs. And penis. And vaginas. Full frontal, in huge detail. Yes, I said at 8 ion the evening, no it's not a joke'

So has anyone watched Storyville: The Great Hip Hop Hoax yet? It's an iPlayer exclusive at the moment. The basic Premise is 2 Scottish blokes hear there is an open audition down London to get a record deal to become the next Eminem/Usher, and they get laughed out the office for being Scottish. They then decide to put on American accents and pretend they are from California to try and get some gigs down London, and it goes surprisingly well, so they embrace the characters they've created. Not the best documentary (a little muddled in places), but the idea, and how far they get with it is pretty outstanding. Totally worth a watch.
