Basically, yes. The BBC has a bazillion panel shows that are just a set-up for clever, witty people to say clever, witty things. Most of the panelists are technically comedians or other entertainers, but they seem to spend most of their time skipping from one show to another rather than actually performing anywhere.

It's not just the Beeb, panel shows are cheap and generally pretty entertaining so all the channels have them. The reason why you see the same people over and over again on them is they all have the same agent who happens to be a part-owner of Talkback and Endemol, the two companies that make most of those shows (there's a similar situation with stand-up television shows and Avalon, who have their own agency too).

I don't mind it so much because if it weren't for OTK desperately trying to get a new star some exposure, Simon Amstell would have never become host of NMTB and so we'd have never got this moment:

As an AB+ individual who has faced constant ostracization over my toxic blood, I was really hoping this was a real website.

As an O- my blood is continually siphoned away by others and when time comes for me to need some none's available because it's all been used up by the likes of you, but your oh-so-special blood can only be used to keep you and your filthy kind alive.

The only use for your blood is to wash the streets come the glorious day of the revolution, as the O- proletariat rises up to smash the haemobourgeoisie.

yeah it was a time of mass immigration and racial tensions were high, and these sitcoms seem to have been made with the intention of reducing that (the bigoted white guy always gets his comeuppance in these things), but they backfired and became beacons for racists. the actor who played alf garnett regretted it later in life and hated being a hero for arseholes.

Well, Warren Mitchell's attitude to Alf Garnett changed depending on how big his tax bill was that year, because he bought the character out of retirement a couple of times, albeit with the racism pointed mostly towards more acceptable targets. Basically exactly the same trajectory as Al Murray's Pub Landlord character.

However if you want to talk out-there British sitcoms...

Walther. Wally is also a mild insult! :eng101:

i.e "You Wally! Why would you do that?"

:eng101: It's one of the many English swearwords that used to be way, way worse, referring at various times to a prostitute (of either gender, but at different times), a promiscuous man, a gay man, a syphilitic penis, and a penis regardless of disease. It also means a pickled gherkin in bits of London and Manchester, and I don't even want to speculate which of those uses turned into that one.

If they'd told us about this sort of thing I might have paid more attention in English class.

The man behind and to the right of him is the official toupee-wrangler. Follows him everywhere where there might be high winds, negative g, or anything else that might detach Sir Elton's crowning glory from his bonce. See the way he's there, ready to slam it back into position? Even sitting on a rollercoaster next to a haggis that has somehow come to life doesn't distract him. Professionalism, that's what that is.

Fun fact - since the knighthood, the toupee-wrangler is paid for out of the royal protection budget. That man's ex-SAS. One day he's slotting terrorists in the 'Stan, the next he's keeping a hairpiece from escaping the head of the United Kingdom's most important homosexual. All the same to him - a dirty job that he does for Queen and Country (and queen), when nobody else even wants to know such a job is needed, let alone done.

I've had them and sex while driving and done ok.

My friend on the other hand got into a bad wreck hitting something head on at speed. His GF wasn't happy and had to stay in the hospital for a bit.

I didn't ask if his wiener was ok.

It's like people have never read The World According to Garp.

What's great about this is that this photo is the product of a professional sports photographer, taken during a super important race with a ridiculously expensive camera and lens, in which the competitors are running in a straight line down an established and demarcated 100 metre stretch at an agreed time... and it's STILL blurred to poo poo.

That's a deliberate stylistic choice though. It's a bit like saying "Heh, look at those idiot camera operators on 24, can't even hold their cameras steady! Ever heard of a tripod, idiots?"

First part is from The Chase, the question setters deliberately put at least one double entendre question in there a week just to see Bradley Walsh lose it. That's not even the worst/best one:
