Guest Stoppit Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Anyone else see this? New program on BBC2; Mostly stand-up, with a few sketches. This week the topic was books. Just watched it, and it was nice to see a comedy program on the BBC that actually credited its audience with some intelligence. It was also good to see Stewart Lee on television again. By contrast, earlier today I watched Horne and Corden (BBC3 sketchshow) which was unremittingly shite.

There isnt that much you say about british comedy talent but there isnt that much talent, but those fucking twats are below talentless. The fat ones only answer to comedy is really poorly thought out gay innuendo, thats it, nothing else. And the other one, well he's just there to look ugly. I cant believe theyve got a film out.

Guest grinningcat Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 it was good, but really found him repeating himself on a lot of things I know it was part of the gag but hearing him say 'the rapping singers on the top of the pops' for the 50th time gave me a headache Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43655-stewart-lees-comedy-vehicle/#findComment-981048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stoppit Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I quite liked the rapper bit, although it was obviously very repetitive. I liked the bit about the rappers sliding on the handrail, by the coin exchange.... Also, I will not be buying Chris Moyles' autobiography. Not even as a toilet book.

Guest inteeliguntdesign Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) also, just looking at that god awful poster for lesbian blar blar blar film informed me that those two were probably awful. the only decent comedy tv i know of is brooker's screenwipe and i have i got news for you -- and they are both off air at the moment :( saw stewart lee in a jazz cafe in london once. he was looking frightened and quite fat at the time.

Guest Stoppit Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I love screenwipe. A couple of months ago I went to the BBC as an audience member to see a new program Brooker was filming, called 'You Have Been Watching'. It's a sort of discussion about television, with quiz elements. It was pretty funny, but I think it was just a pilot show, and I don't know if it'll be airing. It was filmed for channel 4, although they used the studios at the BBC anyway, you heard it here first.

mcbpete Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just watched this, and 'twas real enjoyable so thanks for the heads up. My favourite section was the cut away (post the So Solid Crew segment) where he was in the clown car and some young kid turns up in a huge HUMV and the Grange Hill sausage kicks in. Horne and Corden however doesn't even deserve any words of opinion thrown towards it, it's a non-comedy. Stoppit said: anyway, you heard it here first. Well I actually heard it on cookd and bombd first, but congrats on seeing it anyway. I'm looking forward to that and his Newswipe series.

Guest Iain C Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I thought this was mostly hilarious, I think at least one joke was nicked from Simon Munnery but that's OK, and the rappers bit was slightly over-long. But mostly, laugh out loud funny. He has got fat though.

Guest rufus Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Great to see himself back on TV - check out his stand up dvds / CDs as well. They're awesome. I hope this makes him more famous so we might get some more smart comedy on TV.

BCM Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 just popped in to agree with anything bad anyone has to say about horne and fucking corden. most unfunny, talentless, wannabe simon pegg and nick frost, wastes of space I've ever seen. fuck horne and corden.

Guest Dirty Protest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Went to see Richard Herring a couple of weeks ago. Hes interesting and engaging, but just forgets to add punchlines. Worth going to, if you enjoy listening to middle aged neurotic men rambling. My friend and I have 'whos funnier Lee or Herring' arguements quite often. He says Herring. Hes wrong.

Ah, didn't notice him in the sketch - definitely recognised those jokes from Attention Scum though! I assumed Munners gave permission as they're mates... Plus it's not like anyone ever saw Attention Scum anyway.
