QI might not be cutting edge but at least it's funny...

is this a reserve league version of uk comedy panel shows?

HIGfY aside, it's all reserve league.

i'd submit QI, off the top off my head. maybe they're the 'squad members' somewhere in between.

cos i hate to break it to you, but i've seen this cunt brigstocke on HIGNFY at least once.
― What are the benefits of dating a younger guy, better erections? (darraghmac), Monday, 28 September 2009 10:36 (sixteen years ago)
I've enjoyed QI, having learned to ignore the existence of Alan Davies. HIGNfY more than most of these shows manages to be good even with bad guests. Most panel shows bring the odd lol tho, even Mock the Week.

― What are the benefits of dating a younger guy, better erections? (darraghmac), Monday, 28 September 2009 10:43 (sixteen years ago)
I think I'm a sucker for panel shows like nothing else, I can enjoy Mock the Week even though I know that it's really utter shit. Couple of cheap laughs and I'm good. Although it's always annoying to be watching with friends and make a hilarious quip that's then repeated by one of the panelists you hate.
HIGNfY is one of the few I think is actually good, although only if you accept that is has nothing to do with satire any more. Very much not looking forward to the revolving cunt door that will be the Never Mind the Buzzcocks guest host spot.

weirdest thing about russell howard is that you never see him laugh at the other guys jokes when they're doing the 'spin the wheel' bit, like he's actually terrified inside but then switches on when its his turn
― modescalator (blueski), Monday, 28 September 2009 10:51 (sixteen years ago)
presumably they're all just standing there trying to remember which bit of which of their stand-up routines is relevant to that particular category?

weirdest thing about Hugh Dennis is that he gets work as a comedian

Do we have an opinion on Frankie Boyle?
― pow! right in the kisser (suzy), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:01 (sixteen years ago)
I'm sure we have many opinions on Frankie Boyle, not sure which will turn out to be the right one.
(I like him.)
― Michael Jones, Monday, 28 September 2009 11:02 (sixteen years ago)
very sharp; doesn't know where his boundaries lie (I mean in terms of being funny, not in terms of taste); awful, awful stand-up
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 28 September 2009 11:04 (sixteen years ago)
He's the only person on this show that's ever funny, right?
There's also related funny from watching the runt G-list guest comedians try and get a word in edgeways when Boyle has half a standup set's worth of jokes queued up.
― MPx4A, Monday, 28 September 2009 11:04 (sixteen years ago)
Xpost, wasn't responding to the awful stand-up bit.
― MPx4A, Monday, 28 September 2009 11:05 (sixteen years ago)
Boyle was off the boil (...) on the last one i saw, it was v noticeable.
― modescalator (blueski), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:05 (sixteen years ago)
i like stewart francis' corny oldskool one-liners and the way he tells them
its a shame they make hugh dennis do the stupid voiceover bit - does he actually score points for this?
― modescalator (blueski), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:08 (sixteen years ago)
always assumed hugh dennis was just a pitied unacknowledged mcgann bastard child.
― What are the benefits of dating a younger guy, better erections? (darraghmac), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:09 (sixteen years ago)
Didn't Boyle recently get pissed off that someone called him a drunk when he's actually an alcoholic and dry for ten years?
David Mitchell, anyone?
― Lovely and tender, like velvet. (Upt0eleven), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:09 (sixteen years ago)
Mitchell wasn't so good on this, don't think the format suits his style
― modescalator (blueski), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:10 (sixteen years ago)
xpost Yeah, he's a teetotal vegetarian who went to uni at Sussex, whoever said he was drunk gets a gold star for stereotyping.

― pow! right in the kisser (suzy), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:16 (sixteen years ago)
Did not know he had gone to Sussex despite their shoving the illustrious alumni list down our throat the whole time I was there.
I kinda like Mitchell's rants - they at least seem vaguely genuine and less scripted than some of the shite spouted by the rest.
― Lovely and tender, like velvet. (Upt0eleven), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:24 (sixteen years ago)
I love Boyle and think his stand-up is pretty great actually. I had no idea he was a teetotal vegetarian!

tbf Boyle does more 'Scots always drunk' zings than anyone
― modescalator (blueski), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:33 (sixteen years ago)
maybe the cranky ex-alco is just a stereotype he's mining for material.
― What are the benefits of dating a younger guy, better erections? (darraghmac), Monday, 28 September 2009 11:38 (sixteen years ago)
don't know why mitchell turns up on this show, he's way above it. or maybe just different.
Blueski, you're allowed to tell jokes about your own demographic.
I'll be rifling the index to see what he says about Sussex. Although I never met him there, he was legendarily funny as an undergrad, according to three friends of mine on his course: my ex who lived with a certain music writer and was in a game of RUN AWAY from one J D0llim0re, one gorgeous Italian-Swiss burlesque performer and one flapper-esque riot grrrl writer.

more Frankie Boyle facts: he doesn't fly and i walked passed him on Ingram Street in Glasgow a couple of months ago.

you've got to have some admiration for someone bold enough to become a comedian despite not being funny and having the greatest lack of comic timing possible, no? No.
― Akon/Family (Merdeyeux), Monday, 28 September 2009 14:39 (sixteen years ago)
you guys are making this show sound fascinating, am kicking myself for not watching it more than about 0.6 times.

i watch this show and laugh at some of the things that are said

because it's so rubbish, or what? i laugh at eastenders, for instance.
