Sorry boys but I reckon Worst week of my life is total rip off crap...! It's a Frank Spencer reinvented at best, though his wife is much hotter than Betty. It's funny how they put it on after extras which is basically taking the piss outa shows like "Worst week of my life". Bring back the IT crowd & Teachers.

AB...



Rip off or not Big Al, it's still fkn hilarious

All in the mind mate........ Good Slapstick is good slapstick, it is a legitimate comedy genre', not limited to the earlier practitioners of it

and re "havin a laugh"......Isn't that part of the parody though that while the artists and intellectuals feel that it's the lowest form of humour there are lot's of people that love it..... like the boy the other night.... And at some level those that love it, are portayed as less superficial and more real, they come across as more likeable human beings, than the pretentious mob who put "Havin a Laugh" down......... Scary............ Not that I'm saying your pretentious and an intellectual snob Al Coz I know you're a top bloke........ But I dare to challenge you on your provocative opinions

Awesome point Hardthinker....!
You must see the entire series of this seasons Extras as there is one episode that is dedicated to your exact point regarding people perception. Basically Andy (Ricky G) is hassled in the pub by a few fans wanting to hear "The catchphrase" which he instantly dislikes, he then goes to an uptown swanky bar where all the stars go & gets ridiculed by David Bowie. He of course slinks away back to the original bar to surround himself with adulation from is "real people". Truly awesome.
The BAFTA award's show is also pure gold.

I watched extra's,
the poo in the eye episode.
didn't do it for me..... oh well
i do like Earle though, why? dunno.
don't like chasers (and will anderson.) They tend to over do vicious piss taking and not enough original light/enjoyable humour.
Can't say i favour any particular channel, do other people really take notice of what channel they are watching?? i thought remotes eliminated that.

Yeah but Frank Spencer and Betty are a rip off of a radio show ... and the name escapes me. That made me cringe as a young boy just as Frank made me cringe as an older boy.

Like you colinwill I like Earle. I can just go with it free and laughin. Also I find the Chaser crew only funny sometimes. Too much of the time they are try-hard n unfunny. Although I do like Will Anderson.

Love Spicks and Specs. Weird Al on Sunrise?!! HAaaa ha they'd just so fk that up.

Cant stand Biggest Loser but I would like it if it involved ritual suicide. I can see them at the weigh in, Blue team next, "Yeah, go Adro" n tense moments pass as the digital scales inexplicably oscillate up and down for 50 seconds to the sounds of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" thinkin music, and then, he whips out a knife and cuts off 10 kilos of porterhouse and stands there more and more limply and less and less weighty as the blood pools at his feet. N the crowd ROARS their approval. "GO ADROOOOO" and they all gather round his dyin body yelling paeons of praise and adulation to his corpse. And the voice over comes sedate and cool "This is totally unexpected. The question for the judges now is, does the blue team lose the entire weight of the demised and win the competition, or will they be disqualified for being one team member short?"
