nationalista posted:The whole notion of 'selling out' is pathetic and childish anyway. Not really, the term's used far too often in cases where it doesn't come close to applying, that's all. Like by Boyle here. I never liked the guy, but this whole episode makes him look like an utter oval office.

My favourite thing about Derren Brown is how he'd introduce a trick, like mediumship for example, by explaining all about cold reading and exactly how these frauds do it, and then go on to do the best, head-scratching reading I've seen, that puts all those Living TV creeps to shame. The ghost special was similar (can't remember its name) where he began by telling everyone there that ghosts definitely do not exist and that everything that's about to happen to them is a trick, but still manages to scare the poo poo out of the participants anyway. It's why The Events pissed me off so much, especially the lottery one which basically went completely against what he did in The System. I kept waiting for some massive twist at the end of them all, but it never came.

Did anyone catch The Great Outdoors? Never heard of it, but caught a minute towards the end and it looked like it might possibly be not terrible. Any opinions? Stars Brian off of Spaced. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00t6z51/The_Great_Outdoors_Episode_1/

Trin Tragula posted:Just watched 10 O'Clock Live. More actual satire than last week is good, and then you have that thoroughly appalling Campbell interview, which was like watching the curb-stomping scene from American History X on a loop. I don't get why anyone involved thinks that anyone on that show can hang with the likes of Campbell or Willetts in a straight interview. Exactly how I feel. A big improvement on last week (as we all suspected would happen), but Jesus Christ, who thought it would be a good idea for David Mitchell to interview Alistair loving Campbell for his second ever (?) interview? I know it's been said in this thread already, but loving hell.....

keep punching joe posted:Red Dwarf was never really that great anyway, I loved it as a kid but re watched it recently and a lot of it was quite cringe inducing. Yup. For a nerdy teenager in the 90's, it was great, but I've caught a few episodes on Dave recently, and if it wasn't for the nostalgia factor, I would consider most of it pretty loving dire. The new episodes could be as good as the very best of the old series, and they would still be pretty embarrassing by today's standards.

You say that, but I think every time I've seen either of them, there's always at least one section where they talk to themselves using the other's Lee and Herring persona. Fist of Fun is coming out on DVD!

I've said it before but pretty much every time I've seen Stewart Lee or Richard Herring they've both done a section where they're essentially having a conversation with themselves using the other's persona. They're both really great (but different) stand-ups now, and I think if they did some kind of reunion (the TMWRNJ one doesn't count), it could be fantastic.

Gram-O-Phone posted:Also, there's something about Evan Davies' pointless interjections to tell us about something we've already seen or ask us about something which has yet to happen (i.e. "The mood in the Den has soured considerably with the revelation that Boris McFuckwit has no idea how much money his company has lost or even what he makes or sells or where he is or how he got there. Will Scary Grandma counter Easily Offended Scotsman's offer of FIVE POUNDS for an 80% stake of Willy's Willy Warmers Inc...?") which just pisses me off so much. I know what just happened, I saw it, it was on the telly just this very second! And I expect we'd find out what's going to happen if you'd just shut the gently caress up already! He's STILL using that loving 'about to show his hand' phrase too. He said it at least twice in this week's episode. metrication posted:Friends was loving terrible. S******* on the other hand, if they showed that back to back I would definitely watch that. Christ, don't use that word in here!

boner meter posted:Another even more important one was the best children's game show ever made; The premise was that the contestants were inside some kind of futuristic tower block, with different challenges on each floor. If they failed they ended up in the laundry room in these horrid cages and the team had to go and rescue them. One of the final challenges involved playing checkers against these guys in black robes. Also to move between challenges there was a lift that had a computer inside that was basically a kid friendly version of Holly from red dwarf, but was a man in a red mask (I think). Incredible Games? Think it was past my time, but it seems to come up in his thread all the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPUpwSSU15o
