badgerx16 Posted 30 January, 2020 Posted 30 January, 2020 Mrs Browns Boys winning best comedy at the NTS awards this week. Better than Fleabag? Really? No presenter/s in the last 19 years have been better than Ant & Dec ?
Batman Posted 30 January, 2020 Posted 30 January, 2020 Mrs Browns Boys winning best comedy at the NTS awards this week. Better than Fleabag? Really? Mrs Browns boys is one of the most tragic acts of comedy I have ever seen.
Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2020 Posted 30 January, 2020 The NTAs are a public vote, aren't they? Basically just comes down to lowest common denominator stuff, so long as we don't run out of dinner ladies called Carol, Ant and Dec and MBB will continue to win awards. Having said that, I'm glad to see Chernobyl getting recognition, both here and at the Golden Globes. Possibly the best TV drama I've ever seen and all the more gripping because it's 99% true.

rallyboy Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Let's not deny democracy - our fellow citizens love Mrs Brown's Boys, they think it's hilarious, subtle, and awash with beautifully-crafted characters delivering complex scripts that work on several levels. And that tells you everything you need to know about the general public.

rallyboy Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Now, if a bloke dressed as an old woman had shouted that in a fake Irish accent on prime-time BBC, it would be hilarious!
sadoldgit Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Pompous self-righteous people who believe their taste in comedy, music, etc, is superior to anyone who has different "less sophisticated" tastes to them... I don’t think that my taste is superior. I just don’t find the programme in the least bit funny. It is rehash of something from the 70’s and not a particularly good one. It’s not a question of being less sophistated. It is just so damned awful.

The thing is, a lot of people when expressing their opinion on comedy, music, etc, don't stop at articulating what they like and don't like, they then go on to sneer and look down the nose at others who happen to like what they don't like. (Not accusing you of such shallow judgemental behaviour though, sir ) Edited 31 January, 2020 by trousers

However it keeps winning awards and I can’t get my head around it’s popularity. Not only that, it is on the B.B.C. so I am paying for it!

I'd much prefer my licence fee to go towards programmes that annoy certain people, as their disdain at things as trivial a television programme keeps me amused... #firstworldproblems

whelk Posted 8 February, 2020 Author Posted 8 February, 2020 Everything in the last leg is hideously unfunny. Yes embarrassing how it’s such a miss with such format and material to work with. Potential to be great if they had better writers and better ad lib comedians

sadoldgit Posted 24 February, 2020 Posted 24 February, 2020 Plasters are now apparently being provided in different skin tone colours. Now as much as I take some effort in co-ordinating my wardrobe, I really don’t give a stuff about the colour something is that I stick on my skin to stop blood seeping out. I suppose I should be happy, at least I will be able to get something to match my skin tone when I get a sun tan.
hypochondriac Posted 25 February, 2020 Posted 25 February, 2020 Yes embarrassing how it’s such a miss with such format and material to work with. Potential to be great if they had better writers and better ad lib comedians Yep but it's stupefyingly unfunny.

norwaysaint Posted 4 March, 2020 Posted 4 March, 2020 Anyone who uses the words "end of" as if it adds extra weight to their argument marks themselves as a bit of a cock, as does anyone who ever uses the word "methinks".
sadoldgit Posted 4 March, 2020 Posted 4 March, 2020 Anyone who uses the words "end of" as if it adds extra weight to their argument marks themselves as a bit of a cock, as does anyone who ever uses the word "methinks". You could have added people who add “fact” at the end of a sentence in order to shut down any argument.

You could have added people who add “fact” at the end of a sentence in order to shut down any argument. I'll add to that people who ask a question and then say "yes?" or "no?" at the end. It's a moronic way of trying to put an uncomplicated answer to a situation that is always going to be a little more complicated than yes or no.
the saint in winchester Posted 4 March, 2020 Posted 4 March, 2020 People at baggage reclaim carousels who stand right up against the belt thus preventing anyone else from seeing or getting at their own cases. Yes, very true. The yellow line is there for a reason. I tend to go to the furthest point where no-one else is, on the grounds the bag must be mine if no-one has claimed it. Trouble is my case is somewhat generic and a dozen hands have picked it up and put it back by then.
norwaysaint Posted 4 March, 2020 Posted 4 March, 2020 People who say "very true". True is an absolute. If you add a quantifier to it, it becomes less absolute, not more.
