Lenny Henry "funnier than Lucas n Walliams and Pegg n Frost" shock.
― Dom Passantino, Monday, 21 May 2007 12:20 (sixteen years ago) link
yes, that was odd, him on his own with the camera crew laughing along.
he still chose a lot of stuff that i remember whereas i'd've imagined him as the generation before - he's a good 8 years older than me.
LOTS of dawn french clips as well as clips of his own (were they down to do it together perhaps?).
― koogs, Monday, 21 May 2007 12:42 (sixteen years ago) link
good choice of Love Thy Neighbour clip. "the joke's on EVERYONE" etc.

The "no cohost, no audience, laughs from the production crew" aesthetic I took as a deliberate reference to Kenny Everett?

That Dying Rooms documentary they showed a bit of looked shocking. I missed it at the time. I'd like to see it in its entirety, though I don't know if I could handle it. Shame about the "only Brits can make good documentaries" nonsense that accompanied it.

i watched and kinda enjoyed HIGNFY this week. i skipped out the opening round, which i think is the worst bit and enjoyed ian hislop's sniping at chris tarrant. not exactly satire but good mean fun.

I always associate that kind of thing with Phillip Schofield's broom cupboard.

See, I watched this too and didn't enjoy it much at all and wondered exactly why people prefer the "continually take the piss out of the host/guest" thing to people being witty and scathing about the actual news. Because wasn't it precisely the fear of HIGNFY becoming the former rather than the latter that led to the removal of Deayton?
(also fuck off whoever in the team thinks that crap grainy vids nicked off of YouTube/emailed to them by their mums are the height of humour)

no, deayton was removed 'cos the main producer had dropped the drink 'n drugs and was told to remove any negative influences from his social sphere, this was also why rory mcgrath lost his place on TTIAO... OR SO I HEARD. also see my post from two weeks ago being nasty to minor celebs has always been part of HIGNFY. it was funny cos it made me laugh, the more i think about it the mopre i realize it's not so much the "satire" that used to make me laff but paul merton going on about tigers giving birth to tigers out of their mouths.

remember that dude who used to spam ILE with the government done 9/11 stuff? i'm like him but with british comedy.

Well, it would excuse them from having "lol, our guest host's been a naughty boy" hypocritical ridiculousness every other week, I s'pose.

"Not Going Out"
crummy situation comedy as per the seventies, lame scenarios but oh it's actually got funny lines and stuff! What were the chances?
