Nev Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Glad this is back. Brooker completely and utterly wins, all the time."temperatures across the land plunged to hollyoaks iq levels, and nick griffin finally got his dream of an all-white britain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have rather enjoyable dreams involving Brooker frequently... I'm glad this has made its triumphant return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I don't like him on any panel show and even that channel 4 show he did was a bit rubbish. Screenwipe and Newswipe are brilliant though, he should stick to that, and his column.Old skool Brooker... TV Go Home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltz Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Second episode of the series was significantly better than the first. There's an opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsten Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 So glad Doug Stanhope's been involved in this series. He's terrifying, but oddly endearing. And occasionally laugh-out-loud (LOL) hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 tried watching that new The Bubble show but was actually too boring to bother with and especially Frank Skinner.It was dire wasn't it. I managed about 10 minutes. Try as I might, I just can't bring myself to like that Reginald D Hunter. I generally admire American comedians who really integrate themselves and their jokes into British culture (Rich Hall for example) but I just find him utterly unfunny and I can't understand why people seem to roll around laughing when he's on things like this and HIGNFY.Stanhope is a funny man. His 'bit' about pedophilia is classic and pretty brave. He's one of these comedians who never plays safe or dumbs anything down in case of causing offence. I like that.

I'm not slagging him for that because I lived in America and I honestly had no fucking clue about the actual American culture and felt like a fish outta water but why would you try to make a comedy career focused on culture you have zero experience of!!*PS that clip hilarious.
