I'm seeing a lot of advertising for "Rude Tube". Is that seriously a prime time C4 program devoted to showing youtube clips? :psyduck:

The words 'epic fail' and 'epic win' were used multiple times throughout this. :stare:

Basically this.

Another thing is that everybody knows what they're in for if they go on the show, I don't know why they all act surprised and indignant they get screamed at for having affairs when he's been through that process on thousands of other shows.

What was the name of that programme in BBC3 with the blonde girl and the gay friend who were trying to be famous even though they lived in some rural place. I take it was mercifully cancelled?

Peter Kay is basically Seinfeld. People forget that he was one of the first people to do that kind of comedy and make it popular, so he gets resented for being boring and unoriginal years down the line because his style of comedy is copied so much.

I think it's a case of this. Seinfeld seems old and boring now because all the good comedies mimic it. For its time, Seinfeld was an incredibly new concept, and without it there'd be no The Office or shows of a similar ilk.

I love how I said this at the top of the last page and then the exact argument I was talking about sprung up in the following pages.

Never watched this His and Hers thing before but it's pretty good and quite weirdly an accurate potrayal of living with a woman you're totally comfortable with, the girl is really pretty too. :allears:

This thread does go in cycles and this has been discussed loads of times but Skins is really good, I didn't see the big deal with the third and fouth series, those two twins are both gorgeous, the filming is pretty nice too.

Oh yeah actually I forgot about them, if you got rid of Freddie and Effy it would be a lot better, but that ending owns, I don't care. Cook is a great character.

Actually no, Coming of Age is/was the worst comedy on TV in the past 5 years.

Also Balls of Steel had some pretty good segments on it, Thaila Zucchi :allears:

I haven't watched Hollyoaks for a while but this writing of the serial killer dude talking to the boyfriend of the girl he murderedis hamfisted as gently caress. People do not talk like this in real life.

I caught a bit where the boyfriend? was talking to the police and when asked how he met her he says "i was swimming and then drowing and then an Angel rescued me. I know it sounds cliched, but that's what happened".


Yeah, the part I caught was him talking the boyfriend in his best Hannibal voice, saying stuff like "I'd bet you'd like 5 minutes alone with her killer," and "if you talked to him maybe you'd find out things you wouldn't like to know." There was basically a solid minute of comical over the top sentences which if happened in real life would point him out as being a killer in 10 seconds.

I do have a strange crush on that massive titted Irish woman though, so all is forgiven.

I keep noticing judges on these reality shows keep saying things like "I have the feeling that you think this is your last chance." Mostly to old people, but who gives a gently caress? Some people get famous, some don't, does it matter?

Also, there used to be a long essay here from someone working with Simon Cowell and Britain's got Talent about how loving staged the entire show is but it's been removed by a copyright claim from Syco, Mr. Cowell's company.

http://justpaste.it/c8g

Apparently, they've been stage managing Ronan for three years to make him camp and "gay" - a novelty.

What are the chances of this being legit? It says in this that he was supposed to win it, but he didn't. That said, singers on BGT should gently caress off, it always turns into X-Factor MK2 by the final shows.

Those meerkat things have dragged on way too long, they were kinda funny for the first few but now they're just getting overused. Kind of like how the stuffed polar bear for the Birdseye stuff was cute but now they're bringing it back again.

The advert I hate the most is the fat prick who says 'Wonga' on one of those cash converter trade in places.
