Just getting round to watching the latest 'Big Fat Quiz' and my god, Noel Fielding's 'LOLrandom purple monkey dishwasher' schtick is so tired and annoying, moreso than ever. I think it's possibly the laziest comedy out there, I can't believe I was ever a fan. Pretty weak panel all round really.

^^I wish he'd gently caress off of Buzzcocks so they could have someone better as the other team captain.Quanta posted:So I've noticed the BBC finally dumped CJ from the Eggheads, something that was several years overdue. They've however missed an opportunity by not kicking out that dour blobfish Chris with him. He was on it last week wasn't he? Don't they have so many Eggheads now that they've got to rotate them? lets go swimming fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Oct 3, 2012 |

I've just encountered Celebrity Juice for the first time. How and why is this poo poo on television? There is nothing of value to this at all. The host seems to be a poor man's Justin Lee Collins and I didn't think that was possible. I'm confused.

Celebrity juice, its fans tell me, is self aware and a parody of whatever it is supposed to be parodying. Sometimes I watch it and laugh, sometimes I watch it and weep. It's pretty much the most confusing show on TV. I can never tell for sure if it's serious and when I think it's a joke I have no idea what it's taking the piss of. Itself?

Celebrity Juice seems to be huge with teenagers. Not saying you have to be a teenager to enjoy it, but it seems to help.

If this drivel is satire then it makes Buzzcocks look like... loving Aesop.

The one thing I've seen from Celebrity Juice I've seen that actually made me laugh was Keith Lemon breaking character to tell Jedward to shut up and stop talking over him when he's trying to introduce the other guests.

Celebrity juice is the apex of the often bizarre ITV2 schedule it is both the alpha and the omega, both the katie price and the Peter andre, if you will. ITV2 owns though just because it adds to the sheer amount of jeremy kyle you can watch in a single day, i love it.

Celebrity Juice isn't a parody of anything it's just fun, stupid rubbish to watch while intoxicated. I think it's popular because it takes no mental power to watch. It's the entertainment equivalent of spoon-feeding.

Last summer, I worked out a method of channel hopping that meant I could watch 6 straight hours of Jeremy Kyle as a hangover cure. I could be wrong, but I think they've changed their schedule so that's impossible now.

Yeah its something ludicrous like that even more when you consider it airs again at like 2 or 3 am, its an oddly effective hangover cure though. I dont think the USA version is as good, you just don't get the local connection and the incredible accents.

I really liked the Boosh, and I used to find him funny. The shine's really come off since he bullied that woman into attempting suicide though.

They've not done anything new in years, too. Also, Series 3 now seems sort of shite and mean spirited compared to the other two now I own the DVDs.

I'm fairly certain now that all the good things about Boosh were down to Julian Barratt and season 3 turning to crap was down to Fielding's increasingly swollen head.

goatface posted:My dad likes it. He is 60. Funny, that. My uncle loves it and he's getting on for 70. I think he thinks the Keith Lemon character is for real though, and he really loves the bits where Jedward get tortured in some way because he's had a grudge against them ever since he got trapped in an HMV they were visiting for half an hour because of the huge uncontrolled crowd outside that was blocking the building's exit in an attempt to... see them? Talk to them? Or whatever those screaming girls who flap their hands in front of their face have in mind to do when they actually get close to these people they're infatuated with. I don't really care for the show, but I don't find it unpleasant to watch. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Leigh Francis, but I will always, always love the "Mel B" character. sex pervert fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Oct 3, 2012 |

I don't go to HMVs, is there really a Jedwardmania happening? Also, is Julian Barrat active anymore, or has he embarrassedly sidled out of existence?

Last I heard of him was the Government Inspector, I was wondering if there was a cache of Barret stuff I'd missed. And the "embarrassed sidle" was a comment on his public persona, not an implied criticism, in case anyone thought otherwise.

I heard a rumour that Noel Fielding is almost completely bald and that's why he's always wearings wigs and hats. By the way, can I just say well done for no-one discussing Hotel GB. Let's keep it that way.
