I'm loving sick of that kinda comment. There is AWESOME music everywhere - you just have to make a loving effort to look for it instead of waiting for it to be spoonfed to you. It was the same 40 years ago, and it's the same now.

The reason that comedy and satire is more left wingers taking the piss out of right wingers is because they do more stupid poo poo, it seems. They're worth taking the piss out of. And they get so uptight about it that it's fun to do. Also, "left wing bias" seems to be code for "doing your job properly" - especially when used as a criticism against news organisations. Getting too close to something people don't want you to know? You're left wing biased!

How TV Ruined Your Life was excellent last night. My favourite bit from Screenwipe maxed out to 30 minutes of awesome social commentary. Sadly lacking the brilliant "self es-steam engine" line, though. But yeah, easily the best so far.

Jekub posted:A while back I linked a short programme by Tom Wriggleworth on radio 4 regarding his experience with Virgin rail, I seem to remember a few people liked it. Anyway, it obviously went down well as he's got a series now, it's much the same sort of content but dealing with different organisations each show. it's on the second episode (sorry, forgot to link it last week) which is about power suppliers. Worth a listen in you have 30 minutes spare. I remember this. It was great. Thanks for the link.

Tempo 119 posted:Someone needs to talk bankers into the ground until no one cares anymore because no one can do much about it but the government, and politicians are only concerned with things that are old and retarded. The problem is basic human greed. We're all guilty of it, we're all selfish. So, governments and bankers and lobbyists and think-tanks are all in it for each other, trading favours and poo poo behind closed doors with people in the same social groups as them, without any scrutiny (although this started to change with FOIA laws). We can't really do anything about it other than educate people into making better decisions when they vote, and spreading the news about what goes on. And even then, whoever gets in will probably get drunk on power. Luckily in this day and age with so many methods of communication, when something does happen, people find out about it. It's becoming harder and harder to get away with poo poo. Edit: And I meant to say, 10Oclock Live was amazing this week. I really think they've got it nailed now. Listen to Mitchell was amazing, as was his interview with Simon Hughes. Who, by the way, did very very well under a lot of pressure to explain himself as a senior Lib Dem, and I think that he did a pretty decent job. Too many people criticise them without really understanding how things actually work (which is irritating, to say the least). I firmly believe that without them we'd be much worse off, but people don't seem to realise how coalitions work and what compromise is. And was David's round-table discussion longer this week? And the interview, come to think about it. I realise things are timed in the show, but I wonder if somebody was telling him in his ear that he had more time. He really was on fire. thehustler fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Feb 12, 2011 |

Satire is usually left wing because of the type of people that make it and consume it. Arty, clever, witty people. When right wingers try it, its too forced. See: The half hour news hour on Fox news. I do realise this is HEAVILY generalising, but meh. Look around you.

Adrianics posted:Wo-Gan had me absolutely spluttering with laughter (who did the voice, by the way? Kind of sounded like Rob Brydon's impression), and it was great to see Brooker tackle the news again. Is that the last one? As far as I could tell, the voice of Wo-Gan was done by Peter Serafinowicz. He's known for doing a VERY good impression of him, and has done it on panel shows and the like.

Best review of 2012 from the guardian I think said its obviously not very biting satire because seb coe wanted to be in it, and I don't recall politicians lining up to be in the thick of it.

netally posted:I don't get why people watch stand up on TV. I love seeing a good comic live, but so much of the experience depends on the atmosphere and the audience. Maybe my attention span is ridiculously low. For this reason, even though I like Ross noble, his stand up dvds are hard to watch. You need to be there to see why he's gone off on a mad tangent.

Kin posted:Yes because both Noel Edmonds and Jim Davidson and their shows were more entertaining than Sharron Osborne, Simon Cowel and the rest of these pathetic "judges" and D list celebrities that fill up the saturday night screens. This is a perfect post that anybody between the ages of about 25-40 could agree with. Things were so much more fun then, lighthearted entertainment to watch with the family. These days it's all too engineered, and the celebrity culture has ruined everything, with its aspirations and fakeness.

ScipioAfro posted:Who want to be a millionaire was the first time I remember this, (i'm 21, so i guess there might be an obvious first show that did this for older people), but I swear I remember a really knowing 'ohoh look how silly it is to stretch out the answer like this' that the show has. The loving ridiculousness of it seems to go over a lot of people's heads these days. Ever see the footage of WWTBAM without the tension-building music? Nothing like the actual show, it was some electronic thing instead on the pilot. I think it was on some documentary.
