A more accurate statement would be "Sounds like all Comedy Unit shows except Still Game since the dawn of time"

Limmy's Show might be a bit hit and miss, as all sketch shows are, but I've found that nobody can agree on what the hits and the misses are. Also, even when I don't think a sketch is particularly funny, it's almost always interesting to watch and he's such an interesting and engaging person that it kind of tips it above other hit and miss sketch shows

I seem to remember this being posted the last time this thread had this discussion about sketch shows so I may as well get it out of the way so we can move on to greener pastures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmYC7r4dViI

If Limmy made a Falconhoof show I'd spend a far too much money ringing it. "Kill jester"

Didn't Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill have a big falling out, which is why we've not had any more Still Game?

It's cool, they have like 40 years to patch things up before they are too old to play Jack and Victor.

For me there's too many people that count DeeDee & the close-to-convetional sketch characters as funny & the rest of it just sorta there - which is missing the point.

What's the thread consensus on Pointless? It seems like the best one of shows like that, and Alexander Armstrong isn't too insufferable on it; it manages to do the "semi-obscure facts" without being quite as annoying as QI. Is that about right?

Is that about right? I am embarrassingly fond of Pointless. Even the famous person edition of it is tolerable, mainly because they gave it the marvellous title of "Pointless Celebrities". It's best watched with a family member, I find. There's nothing like repeatedly screaming "Central African Republic!" (always a low-scoring answer) at the TV to bring you and your dad closer together.

PriorMarcus posted:How are people getting AdBlock to stop the 4OD ads? It used to work but they changed something to break it a while back. There is still another way of avoiding the adverts though. Channel 4 host all their 4od content on their youtube channel ('4od') in the same quality. Adblock still works to block youtube adverts, so just do your channel 4 viewing there. edit: talking about the firefox extension here, don't know about any others Captain Mediocre fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Dec 4, 2012 |

When'd Amazon buy out LoveFilm? I guess it has come full circle for those people who abused the honour system with it and sold their DVDs to Amazon 2nd hand retailers!

I think the one today is the first one in months that I've seen where the chaser wasn't either Anne or Mark Labbett. I'd have thought with four of them there'd be more variety, but that's pretty much my only qualm with it from what I've seen.

Has anybody ever won the Chase? It seems more elusive than a winner on Takeshi's Castle.

VogeGandire posted:Yesterday's episode was 1 woman in the final round for £35k. drat. I normally watch it at work but yesterday ITV wasn't working. I swear The Chaser will sometimes get really easy questions during the final chase. An example being 'in which country is the Siberian Mammoth Museum' aka 'in which country is Siberia'. Also on countdown a few days ago, on the maths round the total you had to get to was 106. Numbers you could use included 100 and 6. Has this happened before?

Pointless was better when it was just straight forward questions, none of this fill in the blanks or picture round nonsense.

I like those, as it's fun to try and work out the answer without using the obvious route. I saw the 106 on my friends Facebook feed and think I managed to do it without using the 100 at all (typically he's deleted the status so I can't double check). It took me a fair chunk longer than the 30 seconds they give them though. Good excuse to post this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mCgiaAFCu8
