Strom Cuzewon posted:"Jonathan Ross there, the man with more telescopes than sense" You've listened to Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4 right? Brian Cox pairs with Robin Ince there, and they get some good guests on. Doesn't seem to be any on iPlayer right now, but they podcast it so you can just add it to your RSS feed or iTunes.

Richard Ayoade had a really good role in the Might Boosh radio show, which anyone who liked the first series of the TV show should listen to. I think you can also find YouTube videos of him playing Dixon Banebridge before Matt Berry did it.

For people interested in such things, Frankie Boyle just bitched out Mark Watson on Twitter for being a sellout "selling cider to his teenage fans" because of comments Watson made on his blog in April or so. Frankie Boyle cashes cheques from Rupert Murdoch. Yeah, don't think I like him any more.

FelixMeOneMoreTime posted:http://www.markwatsonthecomedian.com/web/2010/04/11/a-light-hearted-look-at-downs-syndrome/ is the blog post in question if people are interested. Frankie Boyle posted a comment on the blog today, quoted below. I also don't think he read the next one, where Watson stresses that he doesn't take issue with Boyle, he was very even-handed. What on earth does Boyle think he's doing digging this up after so long? In more positive news, because we do get awfully negative in here, and I didn't help bring up that Boyle nonsense, Richard Herring won the Pod Delusion's Comedian of the Year award, there's a nice interview with him at the beginning of the show.

Akuma posted:I don't really get the "selling cider to teenagers" thing... Is it selling to teenagers just by virtue of being cider? It's hardly youth-centred, is it? Maybe Boyle is generalizing Watson's fans as all teenagers? Maybe it's some kneejerk reaction based on his previous alcoholism? Anyway, there is a Penn and Teller special on at 9 tonight if anyone feels like braving ITV. BizarroAzrael fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Jan 7, 2011 |

hookerbot 5000 posted:I think it depends on the person and what they are advertising. Carol Vorderman advertising dodgy loan companies annoyed me because she is heralded as some kind of mathematical mastermind and a lot of the target audience of Countdown would see her as a trustable expert due to the nature of the show. But Stephen Fry advertising tea doesn't bother me at all and doesn't make me feel like he is selling out or anything. That's at least partly because the Twinnings product isn't loving deplorable

thehustler posted: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. That's what I thought, but he wasn't credited as far as I could see (David Mitchell and the DJ guy, who evidently was really a DJ, were). Don't think it sounded like Rob Brydon's. I think Brooker and Serafinowicz move in the same circles though so that seems most likely.

Question about TV licensing, just found ours is coming up, but we're moving out soon after so I don't really want to pay all the money. I have a TV but only really use it as a monitor and for my 360, and don't have an aerial plugged into it (and I'm in Cambridge where indoor aerials are useless anyway) do I even need a licence?

The Perfect Element posted:I don't think so, no. You need some kind of receiving equipment in order to be obliged to get a license. OK, though I do own an indoor aerial and have it in a box here, it is, as I say, useless, and there is an aerial on the room with an outlet in the living room, thought I've obviously not run a lead from there, still good?

Is everyone listening to So Wrong It's Right? I know there's a lot of Brooker love here but maybe you aren't looking for it since it's radio. Not done with the episode yet but it's worth it for David Schneider's rant about the Orange ads in cinemas.

keep punching joe posted:Red Dwarf was never really that great anyway, I loved it as a kid but re watched it recently and a lot of it was quite cringe inducing. Pretty much this, a lot of it was pretty one-note. I think there was a period around series 3-4 that it was strong, then it just dived and dived. It's like the Simpsons sped up.

Lurchibles posted:It's expected I guess. I do feel bad for comics because they can play the same show every night at a theatre/comedy club, but the moment they make a joke on TV it's dead and can't be used again! Well for a specific instance Jimmy Carr on HIGNFY last series I think, said "People with Tourette's; what makes them tic?" which I knew was previosuly in one of his routines since I had it on DVD, so the joke was already "done with" since he'd finished the tour and committed it to DVD, he just got a little extra mileage from it.

It has the right amount of silly accents, men in dresses and innuendo for anyone not to find sone of it funny. And recurring gags and catchphrases that it absolutely hammers into the molten core of the earth. And an ambiguously gay chap.

birmingha posted:All the more reason for him to be there. Stew is on good terms with him as well as Jimmy Carr, Al Murray and Frank Skinner (saw him at the 'At Last! The 1981 Show' last Monday) and he's ripped the piss out of all them at some point. Not seen what he said about Skinner or Watson, but in Carr's case he said if you're writing jokes Jim Davidson can steal you're doing something wrong, before acknowledging that Carr was saying something misogynistic ironically ("which Davidson could then misappropriate at face value") and with Murray he was mocking a subset of his fan-base, who's existence is acknowledged by Murray whilst out of character, who don't take what The Pub Landlord says with a sense of irony, and see that he's critiquing what they think he's celebrating. And after Boyle shot his mouth last year, I just don't think Watson holds grudges anyway.

Gorn Myson posted:The producers of QI seem quite content with their format of just having the same comedians rotating around on it every week. I miss the charm of the earlier series where every week they'd have someone whos intelligent enough to answer several of the questions correctly. I don't think there's any danger of real panellist stagnation, Ross Noble had never been on before last series, and this next one we are getting Brian Blessed and Ben Goldacre for the first times, that I know of.
