Thanks for that. It's not even the hair, although that's not helping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me, NOBODY's worse than Corden, but your sentiment is 100% valid and the cinch/sky bingo cretin epitomises everything that is wrong with anyone who has ever appeared on any type of tv programme, particularly "reality/talent" ones, as being a "celebrity". God, i feel dirty after even typing that word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Probably done already but Matt Lucas. Talentless waste of space. Grrrrrrr.......... 99% of his "comedy" was racist nonsense. Little Britain was by far the worst thing on TV at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a period from the mid-90s onwards where repeated catchphrases replaced jokes as alleged comedy. The Fast Show was a prime example - characters saying the same thing over and over again was apparently funny. Little Britain the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Henry - sign of my age but I remember when he broke through on New Faces with a routine that was pretty similar to fellow winner Jim Davidson, I also remember when Billy Connolly was a Partick Thistle fan. Oh and was Dawn French ever funny? Edited October 28, 2021 by btb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fast Show was a prime example - characters saying the same thing over and over again was apparently funny. Little Britain the same. It's a trend that comes around every few decades. I remember John Cleese saying that the main thing the Pythons agreed on was that they didn't want to make the style of comedy that had been huge for most of their lives up 'til then - people wandering into scenes and repeating catchphrases over and over again. It seems like the old music hall shows were basically that and people's trousers falling down. The Fast Show even had the cheek to have an unfunny music hall character who repeated catchphrases constantly, like they knew it was shite and wanted to claim irony. Spoiler I did love The Fast Show, and probably still would if I saw it again, but I'd be buggered if I could explain why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Interesting discussion. I thought I was the only one who didn't get The Fast Show. Even though I like Paul Whitehouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
