Kin posted:I was under the impression that Larry King was a highly intelligent individual as well as a hard hitting to the point kind of interviewer? I'd just like to point out that this is incredibly wrong. King is known for brown nosing celebrities and giving interviewees an easy time, especially when they have a sensitive topic in the news. Which would probably explain why Morgan got the job.

Sion posted:Oh come on it's mostly inoffensive comedy that actually gives a few decent laughs. There are a few good lines, a few decent physical gags in each episode and it's not actually that bad. It's also given a rather duff spot late in the evening on a monday on BBC 1. It knows its market is people that think that the BBC's comedy output has become crude and needlessly mean (it has) about a lot of things. I remember a while ago in this very thread someone saying "Why hasn't that The Thick of It but with the NHS show been given more prominence?" I think you're looking too much into it. It's just poo poo.

I dunno, I kinda liked Tramadol Nights. The Knight Rider sketch was pretty good. I certainly see all of your points though, most of the sketches miss the mark, there is far too much repetition of old material and a lot of the edgier jokes are quite tiresome. It entertained me for half an hour anyway. Lasted about four seconds into The Morgana Show though. Christ.

Cabbit posted:It feels good to read someone else saying this, as opposed to simply hearing myself think it as I'm binging on Mock the Week episodes on YouTube. Always makes me feel slightly racist for some reason, which is pretty stupid of me but there you go. Ain't nothing racist about it man, bad jokes in a Nigerian accent are still bad jokes. And almost all of her humour is centred around being Nigerian. I get it, that's a big part of her identity, that's cool. But come on woman, there are other avenues of comedy to explore. I think that might be why I don't really find Julian Clarey all that funny. He's gay and he can celebrate that fact and that's a beautiful thing. But dude, is there nothing else to you? It's so one dimensional.

pisshead posted:From what I can gather, he hates Little Britain because it's made by people from the same class as most other British comedians, and that it makes fun of people that the left-wing media dedicate their lives to pretending to care about. His point is mainly bolstered by a quote from a random poster on an internet forum. I'm one of the biggest lefties I know, but I just cannot stand Johann Hari. Everything offends him! And my God, he is one of the whiniest, most insufferable pricks to be given media space. I'm pretty sure he's the reason why right wingers hate the left.

Well I've just had an absolutely lovely day courtesy of the BBC and The Applause Store. I was offered priority tickets to go see QI being filmed if I went along to see Alexander Armstrong's Pointless. After sitting through two of the dullest hours of my life the audience was offered the chance to have a stretch and maybe take a dump. Eager to get away from all the forced laughter and awkwardness I went to go take a leak while I had the chance. While I was queuing I noticed people leaving. I thought I'd get in on this, but having heard bad things about The Applause Store, I thought I'd best ask somebody if it was OK to leave. There was an older and very bored looking lady who was guarding the exit. I asked her if it was OK and whether I'd lose my QI tickets if I did leave. "No, that's fine, we can't keep you here forcefully." she told me. "Result." I thought to myself, and quickly hightailed it out of there. I jumped on the next train and decided to ring The Applause Store to claim my tickets. The first question they asked was "Did you leave early?" so I told them I had and was promptly informed that I forfeited my tickets because of this. "We got what we needed, gently caress you lol bye!" was pretty much the response I got. Fuckers.

It isn't very exciting or dramatic, do they really need an audience in there so we can hear an "ohhhh" when that stupid answers barometer gets close to zero? That was pretty much it. The only remotely entertaining part of the afternoon was seeing Alexander Armstrong dwarfed when his gigantic co-host stood next to him.

Forgive me for this really mundane request, but on Friday I'm going on a long journey with some friends and everybody gets an hour on the radio to listen to whatever they want and I'd like to take this opportunity to finally introduce my friends to Adam & Joe. I've got both of all the XFM and 6 Music podcasts on my phone. What episode numbers would you recommend to sucker them in?

Love Like Blood posted:Every time I see him I only think of this. I dunno. I don't think you can discredit his entire body of work just because of his religious views. Frank Skinner's always amused me in a relatively clean way. I read the whole interview out of curiosity and I didn't think he came off as that smug. Just as someone who wants his views to be more widely accepted. He definitely didn't come off as smug as Dawkins does in his interviews. And I say that as an atheist.

On the contrary, I find him to be the most engaging character. There's a kind of honesty in his stiffness that really appeals to me. I think it's one of the best things on TV at the moment.

I usually find Lee Mack's humour a bit too old school, but the chemistry between him, Rob Brydon and David Mitchell is just perfect. Nothing amuses me more than over the top digs about David Mitchell's posh up bringing.

He really is good at this kind of thing I caught the one about the south a while ago and happened to catch this one with my girlfriend a few days ago. Both were excellent. Although me and the missus both noticed that he was guilty of quite a few of the things he was criticising. Namely having a lot of the Native Americans playing second fiddle to himself. But then again I probably wouldn't have given it the time of day if his name wasn't attached to it. So maybe I'm the problem...

Well this is frustrating. I'm trying to watch the new Utopia on 4OD, but every time it gets to an ad break, it'll show the adverts and then jump to a seemingly random Channel 4 show when part two resumes. I tried watching it on 4OD's YouTube channel, but I get a black screen whenever I watch it in full screen mode. I could watch it in a smaller frame, but it's shot so well that I don't want to. EDIT: Ugh. I had to resort to... Explorer to watch it. It was worth it though. I'm hooked. 7seven7 fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jan 25, 2013 |
