The concept of the Knight Rider sketch was great, but unfortunately the execution was piss poor. It definitely could have done with having a couple of minutes edited out to tighten it up a bit.

Akuma posted:Yeah he just insisted he was an alien and acted all "crazy humans and your emotions I do not understand basic human interaction." it was pretty stupid. Sounds like it's going the way of that American soap that has mermaids and knights templar and visits from the pope.

fuf posted:But yeah it's weird that panel shows don't exist in America. They are probably really cheap to make, and it's a good medium for comedians. I think they're much better than chat shows in a lot of ways, because the focus isn't just on one person so it flows better. I think it has something to do with American audiences being unable to comprehend a quiz where the points don't matter and nobody wins anything at the end. I vaguely recall that being a big problem for the yank version of Whose Line Is It Anyway, but I might be wrong.

Brown Moses posted:I enjoyed the "Confession of a..." sketch, but then it was followed by the Colombian news, which was just lazy writing. All the sketches are lazy writing. They all have a core concept with the potential for hilarity, but they all come across as if they've just filmed the first draft and called it a day. The Loose Women Iran sketch is mentioned often as one that actually works, which is because it's about 30 seconds long and follows the format of setup-buildup-punchline. The Knight Rider sketch as counter-example follows the format setup-buildup-buildup-rambling bollocks-punchline in there somewhere-what the gently caress were we doing?-better end this now. Comes across like a funny joke being told really badly by a pissed bloke in the pub. While I'm happy to see Frankie able to tell the jokes he wants without the BBC cutting anything that might even slightly offend, he still needs a producer that will cut things because they're lovely and don't work. EDIT: To clarify and answer the post above mine, I don't think the slackness is due to laziness. I think it's due to him having free reign, with nobody standing over him and saying "tighten this poo poo up" or "You might love this sketch but it's not funny, cut it". Flatscan fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Dec 20, 2010 |

SeanBeansShako posted:I think Flatscan pretty much stated he could do better, he just needs to swallow some of his ego and let a producer use his professionalism to give him criticism on what is good and what is bollocks. Thanks, that's exactly what I meant. I'm a bit burned out after a marathon three-days-without-sleep essay writing session recently, can't quite make a coherent argument.

I admit watching LoM I had to rewind a LOT to catch some lines, and I found myself wondering if any Brits have the same problem with any regional American accents. Sometimes they really are two totally different languages that just happen to be more or less mutually intelligible. Tonight's Top Gear special.

Kin posted:What's all this drama with Vince Cable and BSkyB about? From what I gather it's because he said he'd do everything he could to stop Murdoch's buying up of the UK media, including blocking the deal for News Corp to buy 100% of BSkyB. If the BBC are throwing a shitfit about it too they're bigger loving idiots than I thought.

Will own up to which one it was after it's aired Is it the Thomas the Tank Engine sketch by any chance?

Yeah, the reduced budget really showed. Absolutely zero interaction between real and CG elements and the ARC set is now a fifth the size it used to be. Not sure why they bothered to bring it back.

Local Group Bus posted:Just saw the trailer for the new series of Being Human and I know it's sort of a "Hey, we're coming back, remember us?" thing but they could have dropped some hints or placed something in there to at least give some indication of what is going to happen. The trailers for Being Human never actually show footage from the episodes. This is last years main one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fgoD8UpfnI, there were other shorter ones too, one for each character. Saying that, I also want to watch it all now. Why do I have to wait
