Kin posted:No-one, it needs to be killed off ASAP. It's tired and stale and you can tell that even Phil doesnt give a gently caress anymore. He's probably only still there for the regular paycheck. Why do goons have this problem whereby as soon as a programme changes they have to harp on about how it was in the old days or how the show needs to be cancelled now because it is different. Buzzcocks is still funnier than most things on telly, and is a prefectly good waste of half an hour. Rose-tinted autists ITT.

Kin posted:Because it's devolved into a show where they bring guests on simply to take the piss out of them. A good number of the guests don't know the answers to the questions or are there to blatantly plug their latest lovely album and barely contribute anything to an episode short of being the punching bag for whatever the regular guest/hosts throw at them. It was like this even before the unfunny Irish one left.

You know what ? Frankie Boyle is poo poo. He has a narrow range of 'lolol edgy as gently caress' jokes which work on a shock basis the first time round, but beyond that he has nothing but a snide attitude. He probably left Mock The Week because he ran out of ideas. Boyle is one of those comedians who use the same material every time they appear on something, and quickly get stale, but because he says "oval office" a lot and does rape jokes idiots like him.

Aatrek posted:Skins is entertaining and all, but it feels like there's a lot that I can't really relate to as a middle-of-the-road American, like hanging around and drinking at bars at age 16, or taking school trips to Russia for a history class. As has been mentioned, Skins is a fantasy of being a British teenager, watch the simply amazing Inbetweeners for a much more realistic version which you will probably be able to relate to more easily. It really is an excellent and very well observed comedy.

Blunt really does come across as a genuinely decent, funny person, who gets poo poo on by TV personalities because he has a posh voice.* After his last two panel show performances I'd take him over most of the regular circuit guests. *And his name rhymes with oval office.

FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:Peter Kay is basically Seinfeld. People forget that he was one of the first people to do that kind of comedy and make it popular, so he gets resented for being boring and unoriginal years down the line because his style of comedy is copied so much. While I will agree that Peter Kay is good at reminding you of things you thought you had forgotten but hadn't really, for money. I cannot agree that people resent him for being original, rather people think he's a oval office because his behaviour is that of a oval office and his routine(s ?) are not funny.

Seinfeld is poo poo with annoying music. And Curb Your Enthusiasm is the flagship of that agressively unfunny wave of super cheap looking US sitcoms that are objectively worse than the holocaust. I am the strongman of taste and I have spoken.

(SGU is my one vice in this regard) That is a bizarre behavioural quirk a lot of American posters do seem to have. That and calling for a programme they still enjoy and watch every week to be cancelled just in case it stops being enjoyable. It is baffling.

Blackadder owes a lot to Seinfeld. Without Seinfeld we would have never had the glorious satire of the scene where Baldrick reveals his poetry based on the booming of the guns. Then again we would have been spared Tony Robinson running around a stately garden during Time Team Live pointing at Mick the Dig and shouting "he's a friend of the family !" Shame about that really, who'd have thought he had it in him. He hasn't worked since.

feedmyleg posted:Quick question that I've asked before, but I'd love to hear more opinions: I'm an American who loves QI and likes 8 Out of 10 Cats and also really likes listening to The Unbelievable Truth. Are there any panel shows of similar quality? Radio or TV. Have I got News For You, it is nominally a topical news quiz but don't let a lack of familiarity with our news put you off. It's good. Never Mind The Buzzcocks is a music flavoured panel show, and is often sublime. The first few seasons are pretty ropey though. Many, many episodes from both can be found on youtube.

John Charity Spring posted:I don't know if 'literally his stand up with sketches in' is really grounds for complaint. It's a pretty common format for comedians, even Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle was the same. It is if he releases the standup DVD at the same time and plugs it during the show. I used to like Boyle, but everything he's said in the papers, and his first stand up DVD have really put me off him. He just comes across as having an ego that massively outweighs his ability. He likes to act like the old man on the mountain dispensing wisdom about when other comedians aren't funny, turns out he's a poo poo one trick pony who gave up his golden ticket.

Roidweiser posted:If I remember rightly didn't Merton leave for a series or 2? Mind this was probably 15ish years ago. Was he focusing on stand up, then decided HIGNFY was easier? He left for one series (replaced by Eddie Izzard long before he turned poo poo) because he was getting bored. He was a successful comedian before doing TV work, so I don't know what you mean by deciding HIGNFY was easier. It's not like it was a fallback after failing as a standup.
