Harry Hill has been good vfm recently. His stint on junior bake off doing dad jokes and the non-reaction of the kids, and his little compare bits on club night.

the long hignfy had 3 or 4 other nazi jokes on top of the Holocaust denial one, all of which fell flat (albeit not as much).

Well done there, Ricky.
Ricky Gervaisâ golden globe joke is quickly taken out of context across Chinese social media. Heâs now a viral hero among ppl championing âartists should stay out of politicsâ. (HK & Xinjiang of course is brought up). Itâs a joke that Gervais canât write himself. H/t @xuxibai. pic.twitter.com/8TGYXUdJAY— Toni (but whatâs your *real* name?) (@tony_zy) January 6, 2020
Except even with context it's the same shit.

Taskmaster is moving to ch4.
went looking for news of a new series only to find that they've skipped channel and they are quoting late 2020 for the next series. part of me thinks that they are running out of contestants after 9 series and maybe this will attract a different kind of participant and part of me thinks this will be bad, anne wiidicombe on celeb crystal maze bad.

there's a never-ending supply of young comedians just bubbling under - surely they can keep on like that?

Tim Key, Katy Wix, Rhod Gilbert my top three of the top of my head.
Joey Essex would kill the show stone dead.
― ailsa, Friday, 17 January 2020 15:37 (four years ago) link
Bob Mortimer the best contestant that's been on, nobody else comes close.
Rhod Gilbert, Tim Key, Paul Chowdhry, Joe Lycett, Asim Chaudry and Katy Wix all great. Special *entertainment* points for Ian Stirling for being the most horribly competitive.
Series 9 probably had the best all-round casting?

God, yeah, Ian Stirling was really watchable, see also Ed Gamble and James Acaster.

James Acaster and his three-month hula-hoop odyssey was a real highlight.

I like the characters and actors in This Country but the writing's somewhat patchy.

i thought they'd wrapped that up forever? still, no complaints here.
frankie boyle's tour of scotland has a bunch of great throwaway lines. and nice scenery.
i think susan calman's doing something similar on ch5

How have I slept on Stath Lets Flats for so long? It walks a precarious tightrope between pure silliness and quite shrewdly observed character stuff and does it wonderfully. Can't think of anything else with quite the same tone.

New series of hignfy. Wonder how they are going to do this given the regs. Or is it as simple as having new, longer desks?

Geoff Norcott: Hates Being Told What To Do
"The return of the award-winning comedian Geoff Norcott - this time to explain the origins of his right-leaning political ideology.
Geoff hates being told what to do - especially when he considers it's the state interfering with his and everyone else's lifestyle."
Of course he fucking does.

The Spencer Jones series that started this week was pretty old-school but also pretty dreadful.

(xp) Good timing. One hopes, no doubt in vain, that the current crisis would kill off the pointless careers of unfunny cunts like Geoff Norcott.

in a "Old time actors and directors that you were surprised to find out were married to each other once upon a time" style, this pandemic has thrown up a couple of things i didn't know about. the Comedians At Home thing on BBC2 last night had marcus brigstock and rachel parris doing a piece together. show wasn't life-changing in terms of comedy, but their bit was impressive for what it was (lip syncing).
(the other one being non-comedians, lara lewington and martin-money-saving-expert are both doing their shows from the same building)

New Diane Morgan thing, Mandy, was ok last week. I liked the one with the spiders in the banana factory. Odd format though, like 15 minutes long, each.
(On again tonight)
Paul Sinha's radio show is the epitome of fun fact.

I like the 15-minute format! Russian one was lol

the socially-distanced roundtable version of frankie boyle was funnier, i thought - the other comedians chipping in more and making each other laugh (especially useful due to lack of audience)
Yesterday is also showing dinnerladies on a sunday afternoon, something i actively disliked when it was originally on, but it's sharp and dense and full of language.
― koogs, Monday, 7 September 2020 22:03 (three years ago) link
The first series of Dinnerladies is superb, but it falls off very badly in the second series, I think. I watched it again just last year.
Our household thought Frankie Boyle was very funny, but not as funny as Harry Hill talking about medical dramas, which made me cry laughing at one point. (Although I may have had a drink.)

She's got a hell of a lot of credit in my household, but 'Mandy' was dogshit. Painfully unfunny.

HH has always been great at spotting TV stuff. It's gone a bit Look Around You, which I approve of. It's genuinely my ~TV highlight of the week~ rn
― kinder, Tuesday, 8 September 2020 09:16 (three years ago) link
xp Noo! I thought Mandy got better. A bit '15 Storeys High'. Just daft. The 'Bulger boys' line had me laughing a bit too hard.
― kinder, Tuesday, 8 September 2020 09:17 (three years ago) link
Really?! I bowed out after two episodes. I'll give you the Bulger boys line, that was funny :) But the whole 'I need to wee, let's piss in our wine bottle when my date's in the loo, empty it in his aquarium causing his fish to die, put it back on the table to have a sip of... wait for it... wee not wine!1!' was eyeroll for me. But I can see the slapstick element is funny for other people.
