Batman Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 (edited) Everyone gone a bit 'wacky' yet and raised money for good causes? Just watched a bit of Dermot O'Leary's 'dance-a-thon' on the BBC site. Thrilling stuff Edited 13 March, 2015 by Batman
trousers Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 (edited) At least it gives those banging on about Clarkson something different to moan about Edited 13 March, 2015 by trousers
hypochondriac Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 Just walked past someone outside Ripleys believe it or not museum in London, sat in a small car with a sign saying "I am sitting here for ten hours for Comic Relief." sitting down for ten hours isn't exactly a major hardship.
sadoldgit Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 At least it gives those banging on about Clarkson on something different to moan about So what is Clarkson doing for Comic Relief?
Lighthouse Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 So what is Clarkson doing for Comic Relief? Giving someone a red nose. Allegedly.
whelk Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 At least it gives those banging on about Clarkson on something different to moan about Aren't you a banger onner?
trousers Posted 13 March, 2015 Posted 13 March, 2015 Aren't you a banger onner? Yes. And a stark raving hypocrite.
Batman Posted 19 March, 2017 Author Posted 19 March, 2017 absolutely shyte again this year nothing funny what so ever going on. just seen a clip for the 'whacky' James Corden doing a Comic Relief episode of his car pool karaoke thing amazing!!!
sadoldgit Posted 19 March, 2017 Posted 19 March, 2017 I think you are missing the point of Red Nose Day. It is supposed to raise money for charitable causes, not give you a laugh.
CB Fry Posted 19 March, 2017 Posted 19 March, 2017 I think you are missing the point of Red Nose Day. It is supposed to raise money for charitable causes, not give you a laugh. The Comic Relief mission statement is: To drive positive change through the power of entertainment. So giving you a laugh is very much the point.
Jonnyboy Posted 19 March, 2017 Posted 19 March, 2017 The Comic Relief mission statement is: To drive positive change through the power of entertainment. So giving you a laugh is very much the point. Entertainment doesn't necessarily involve laughter.
CB Fry Posted 19 March, 2017 Posted 19 March, 2017 Entertainment doesn't necessarily involve laughter. I must have missed all those telethons that Comic Relief have put on over the years that involve high-octane thrillers, kitchen-sink drama and contemporary dance.
Jonnyboy Posted 19 March, 2017 Posted 19 March, 2017 I must have missed all those telethons that Comic Relief have put on over the years that involve high-octane thrillers, kitchen-sink drama and contemporary dance. More funny than Lenny Henry.
hypochondriac Posted 20 March, 2017 Posted 20 March, 2017 Entertainment doesn't necessarily involve laughter. Well it's called "Comic" relief so the clue is in the title really.
whelk Posted 20 March, 2017 Posted 20 March, 2017 I think it is a bit the same and novelty of seeing celebs in comedic situations has long passed and so natural interest will wane but I'd have a long list of things to get wound up about before this. Dele Alli for one.

Different people laugh at different things. If the point is to make Batman laugh rather than provide money for good causes then I think there is something wrong here. Also if the amount raised is dependent on the amount of laughs provided, we are missing the point big time.
Ohio Saint Posted 21 March, 2017 Posted 21 March, 2017 I'm quite proud of comic relief. It's not something you see elsewhere, and it is a sincere attempt not only to raise money, but increase charity awareness. It's awesome, even if it's not always funny!

With your track record I suppose it isn't surprising that you can't actually understand how Comic Relief works.
sadoldgit Posted 22 March, 2017 Posted 22 March, 2017 With your track record I suppose it isn't surprising that you can't actually understand how Comic Relief works. I see, so you send money in depending on how funny you think it is. Is that how it works?

Thrilling stuff They have raised £71m so far and over £1 billion since Comic Relief started. They must be laughing all the way to the bank. Thrilling stuff eh?

Special K Posted 27 March, 2017 Posted 27 March, 2017 Comic Relief - Giving joyless ***** the opportunity to whinge about not being able to laugh every two years.
