Be Excellent To Each Other

Real size fix.

You could say the same about Ali G, too, unfortunately.

Must add


He is like Alf Garnett though - a lot of his fans don't realise he's taking the piss out of them.

OH NO, did anyone see the news that fonejacker has been cancelled for the same kind of abusive purile irresponsible phone calls!





No? That's cause it hasn't. Perhaps Daily Mail readers don't watch it...

EDIT: Al Murray is rubbish: See his hopelessly 'out of his depth' appearance on Mock The Week.

Didn't see that. I've seen him being very good on it, though.

I see what you did there! Oh the subjective nature of comedy.

Mock the Week makes me want to headbutt a trayful of drawing pins.

That's true actually.

Bollocks

Most people just content themselves with a chortle, but, you know, all sorts for all sorts.

Charlie Brooker recently wrote some words about this. I think they can be found here.




Sorry, I meant here

Not overly fond of Al Murray on TV (where he seems to be toned down somewhat - as you would expect), but his live shows are superb.

I've got all the live dvds and I saw him in Manchester a couple of years ago and he was excellent.
When we left, he was in the foyer, happily chatting to fans, signing autographs etc. Top bloke.

Obviously, everyone has different tastes in humour but I think he does what he does (live, at least) very well indeed.

The more professional and mature comedians appreciate the fact that you have to tone your stuff down for transmission on public TV. Ah...



I'd go even further and say it's time sensitive in it's subjectivity, for me at least. A lot of the more pratfall based comedy I have to be in the right mood for, as well as the more clever character led stuff. Even so, there are some comedians I simply don't find funny, but shall wisely withhold names as I haven't seen any of them live, and it does make a massive difference.

I think Al Murray is very funny, as he's a composite of a bunch of characters from my local.

Now they seem to be going after Clarkson, because of his 'lorry drivers kill prostitutes' line.

But... but... they do.

Someone needs to go through every copy of the Mail and drag out anything offensive they've ever said and go YOU'RE SO OFFENSIVE WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAH.

Christ, what a job that'd be.

Nah, they just kill pedestrians and families after falling asleep at the wheel or texting

Although perhaps some of those people were prostitutes. Who knows?

Cough Ipswich cough.

Oh, was he a trucker was he? I didn't know that.

I think the Yorkshire Ripper was, too.

Indeed. It's fact based. Although, as Brandgate proved, facts don't matter.

If they touch Harry Hill I'll go fucking mad

That's men with beards you are thinking of.

Just publicise the fact that the owner's father was a Nazi sympathiser and that he has an illegitimate child with a high class call girl. Or is that acceptable to their readers nowadays.

No no, that's fine. Apparently.

At least the Nazis were polite and didn't make phone calls to Jewish grandparents telling them they'd shagged their grandchildren before incinerating them all.

Honestly, you liberals need to get your priorities striaght. It's people like you that are causing this country to go to the dogs.

A mate has set this up. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=51997652072. Spread the word.

HA! Brilliant. I will get on it this afternoon.

On it.

And me

I'll spread the word to my lot

Dad and brother emailed the PCC too

Done.

Just sent it to 250 of my facebookee's so hopefully most will join
It's a bloody good idea-tell yah if I get anything back

They're going after Clarkson now http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... tutes.html

FFS don't send the form letter, though.

Looks like the BBC are going to stand firm with this. The Trust told them they had to keep taking risks, after all.

The PCC won't do anything anyway, this is purely to make a point.

Next for the chop: Top Gear.

I live right near their offices. Anyone got any petrol?

The clocks are wrong.

How many more people are going to say this? Or are we back on the 'ignore' joke?

Anyone found reading a thread before posting will be pelted with rotten vegetables for being dangerously sensible.

I'm surprised Grim... hasn't piped up about everyone repeating the Top Gear thing yet. Mr Chris hasn't even chipped in with one of his terminally unfunny jokes, either.

There's something not right about the forum today.

Far too obvious.

Are you angling to be the testee* of my new ban hammer, Myps?


*Snigger.

I'm surprised Grim... hasn't mentioned the fact that I'm making another obvious 'joke' about something. I hope he's all right.

Also, Chris hasn't threatened to ban me in his drunk-on-power-giddy-new-mod-status for calling him unfunny yet.

Strange times.

Has anyone ever had experience of buying a house without a dropped kerb? I think there should be one.

Also - ERKKKK *sounds of a scuffle*
