Atomic Boo Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 OK so there have all ready been 2 episodes of the series but its worth making the thread because some of the stuff is hilarious. The Jose Mourinho mick take (cant remember the character's name) made me laugh very hard. 'The referee is a tit.' 'The two billionaires' Bill Gates and the leader of Apple exchanging geeky specs of Windows Vista etc. 'dual core processors with 200 MG of RAM' 'oh yeah, give it to me baby!' The U2 band sketches are always good. The clever builders are funny A couple of the sketches are hit and miss but it doesnt matter when you have an obsessive American couple who talk to strangers for ages. Yesterday they saw the Muslim woman with the face mask and they show her the pictures of other Muslims and the man says 'isn't she probably pretty, isnt she probably pretty, what a guuuy! isnt she probably pretty' very good stuff, did anyone else watch it?

welsh_gamer Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Boo! Make a Have I Got News For You thread for Friday night comedy, that's miles better! Didn't watch this last night, but the Laurel and Hardy sketch and the U2 sketches were the only funny things from last week. Some of the stuff was just embarrasing to watch.

Happenstance Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I agree there do seem to be some hit and miss sketches on the show. However I really love the Mourinho one, its creepy how much it is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samdecahedron Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've watched both, and the builders sketch is amazing, really clever. It's not always funny, but it's better than a lot of the stuff like little Britain, which is overrated crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I haven't seen last night's yet, taped it cos I was finally watching the beginning of vanilla sky. My favourite sketches from last week was probably their pet northerner, and the two rather brilliant nelson mandella ones. Nelson Mandella's Alcopops, and Fighting Beer 'Do you want some?'. Just, the accent, and the idea of nelson mandella, spot on and brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked that, you'll love this weeks one, it's actually funnier, and i loved the fighting beer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it for fear of it runining any memorys I have of Harry Enfield and Chums, which was genius. His Sky One show a few years back was awful however. Which is why i'm giving this a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch this last night, but the Laurel and Hardy sketch and the U2 sketches were the only funny things from last week. Some of the stuff was just embarrasing to watch. Yeah, its just Friday night is so packed with good stuff: My Family (its OK) Have I got News For You Harry and Paul Derren Brown Peep Show (sometimes if guests are good) Friday Night with Jonathon Ross QI I could have made a thread for most of these, but because this programme is new and made me laugh very hard i chose this. The ones in italic i watched btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Watched it last week and didn't laugh once, there's just nothing funny there in my opinion. Definitely doesn't come close to being as good as Harry Enfield and Chums. Didn't watch it last night, so maybe the 2nd episode was better but I doubt it.

Rummy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 It was good, but I think I preferred last week's. Nice Nelson Mandella sketch, Let Us All Get Muntered. It doesn't touch chums, but it isn't trying to so that doesn't bother me. I also watched hignfy, which was pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyellowbloke Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 From what I've seen of it, it definately doesn't reach the heights of Harry Enfield and Chums, but is still quite entertaining to watch. - Still the funniest thing I think they've produced.

Monopolyman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Watched it last week, and I have to agree with most people here; I thought it was terrible. With the exception of Jose Mourinho sketch at the beginning, none of it was really funny, and most of it was very clichéd and quite embarrassing TBH (The clever builders, for example). Disappointing, considering Harry and Paul were, at one time, the best comedians in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've seen that clip in years, and it had me in tears. Pure comedy genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I haven't, and will not, watch this. Brings back painful memories of his Sky One show. We shouldn't fault Paul Whitehouse for this show being rubbish, as he created The Fast Show and Help!, which were both class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendohnut Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I saw the first week with Mourhinio at the start and thought it was just awful. I didn't laugh once in the whole thing. Disappointing, I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Talking of Harry Enfield and chums, why hasn't it been released on DVD yet? I really miss it. Back on topic, most of it is crap but I like the U2 bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
