Ddraig posted:I don't know about that. David Mitchell seems to like doing panel shows, and Robert Webb likes getting money for old rope. Webb is probably the funnier in all honestly i loathe David mitchell's routine that he does on every single loving panel show which is say nothing for 25 minutes of the 30 then make some rant about, footballers or musicians that he doesnt "get" and then cheekily looks to the camera and calls them "...fuckers" or something like that. Tee hee he is old fashioned and likes to get on his soapbox, its ok i guess but the 5 minutes of forced audience applause he gets makes me want to turn the channel right away that sit through it. he should stick to peep show.

Coppers is surprisingly good for a documentary about rozzers. The cops themselves seem pretty decent, and it's fun watching drunken arseholes getting lairy in Leeds.

He's usually pretty drat good on QI. Contributes a LOT of obscure knowledge, points out amusing logical flaws in things and, while definitely still a "ranty" persona, doesn't come across badly at all.

When he is doing that its fine, its just when he gets into soapbox mode. Its usually on stuff like 8 out of ten cats or never mind the buzzcocks where he looks woefully out of place. I swear he was once, still doesn't change what im saying, you know what i mean. \/\/\/ Ponce de Le0n fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Nov 26, 2010 |

I've just seen Robert's Web and Graham Norton make fun of the same Yahoo Answers 'Is there such a thing as gay hips' question. I'm so loving sick and tired of comedy shows plundering the internet for cheap laughs. 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 Have I Got News for You.

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.

Russell Howard is like that friend you had in college who was mildly amusing but not hilarious and if anyone was ever asked their opinion of him, would think for a minute before always replying 'Yeah he's a nice guy'. I don't think hes particularly funny but I don't hate him, and if it was a choice between Russell Howards Good News, or another re-run of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, then let poor well meaning Russell have the timeslot.

Have I missed everyone talking about The Trip? It's got the three things I love the most in telly: Great food, great impressions, and two talented comic actors just having fun. Thank god for series catch-up.

I really like The Trip, but the general consensus here I think is that it's not as good as it "should" be. I think it comes down to "do you like impressions?" or not. Also: Meltdown321 posted:Did anyone watch an odd little show on CITV called Roger and the Rottentrolls? It was a bit past my time on children`s TV but a friend had it on once and it`s a work of genius. Nobody else said anything but yes, I loved that show, it's brilliant. Glad someone else out there likes it!

Got The Hunger Ted posted:I think it comes down to "do you like impressions?" or not. Definitely. But they're not impressions in the terrible Alistair Mcgowan sense, and I actually find it really interesting when they talk about the logic behind the voices. I thought the "Gentlemen to bed" scene from the latest episode was absolutely hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYxx2-lw4VY I mean it's not an actual impression of anyone in particular, but I love how they just perfectly capture the essence of all those historical dramas.

After The Trip watching films like Night At The Museum and whatever films Coogan has appeared in, it's kinda depressing. Probably just me though.

Watched the Trigger Happy TV christmas special after a few drinks the other day after not seeing it for many years, I haven't laughed so hard in ages (although some sketches are just too repetitive). Also wish Gervais would just shut up for two seconds, caught a glimpse of him and Karl on the one show and he kelt talking over Karl and grabbing every bit of airtime from the poor Manc.

By assuming the audience don't actually like rock music and being as close to pop as they can get away with, probably.
