Batman Posted 13 March, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 13 March, 2015 Share 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 19 March, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 19 March, 2017 Share 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.

CB Fry Posted 19 March, 2017 Share 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.

hypochondriac Posted 20 March, 2017 Share Posted 20 March, 2017 Entertainment doesn't necessarily involve laughter. Well it's called "Comic" relief so the clue is in the title really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 20 March, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 21 March, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, so you send money in depending on how funny you think it is. Is that how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
