I liked this thread better when soapboxing about how you don't think something is funny was probatable. Too bad humour's not subjective or anything like that. Would save us all a lot of bickering.

Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive is a pretty good panel show/comedy show 'about' panel shows - "it concerns the making of a comedy panel game show called Annually Retentive, themed around historical events, and hosted by Welsh comedian Rob Brydon. The show is deliberately parodic, as Brydon plays a hyper-realised version of himself, while the game show blatantly steals ideas from other, similar shows such as Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock The Week and QI." I think as a parody it really is spot on and a lot of the guests on their fake panel show are people who regularly show up on actual UK panel shows. I don't know how much of the humour would come across if you weren't already familiar with UK panel show conventions though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cviMfxfZcXg a clip that might not play outside the uk

Sessions only goes on so he can see himself in the monitor.

Now I'm curious to know who this person is. I am thinking Carr. Sessions isn't a regular and Carr gives the impression of everything being carefully prepared beforehand (yes, I know he is great with hecklers, but they can be canned responses)

RIP mug 2013-2013 Phone posting so i can't find a picture but a dude threw a hissy fit (and a mug) and they just rolled the credits over a live shot of the mug and pit that at the end. drat brilliant the show that was the least deserving of the 'we want to try something different' axe it got because it was already the least panelly panel show out there.

What's his beef with Fearne Cotton? I mean, I've seen Keith Lemon give her enormous amounts of poo poo on Celebrity Juice, but is it just him and Bailey, or is this a national pastime?

She isn't that unpopular, just seen to represent a kind of shift towards American style "Presenters who are pretty and don't really do much else" style of thing. I think Bill just really disliked buzzcocks by the end. Which is weird because he always seems like the chillest of the British Comedians. The whole bit with him and Rachel Riley (from Countdown) and her "stalking" him was hilarious.

minato posted:I went to a live taping of NMTB in the Mark Lamarr days and I can say that it's about 20% scripted jokes, 30% funny off the cuff wit, and 50% hilarious but unbroadcastable slander and libel. Mark Lamarr is a complete arsehole and brutally funny. But he seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. I really wanna binge through Lamarr era buzzcocks but between his accent, the extremely nasal voice, and youtube audio compression it's just straight up impossible to understand him
