Oh God, I can't stand Comic Relief!! :evil:
Six hours (or whatever it is) of Davina McCall using her full manic range of whiny voices and skull-faced gurning, banging us over the head with a metaphorical rubber hammer going "ISN'T THIS GREAT, ISN'T IT FUN!!"....
Humourless/stupid people like newsreaders, footballers, politicians and the cast of Dragons' Den putting on red noses and showing how "fun" they are, but you can see in their eyes that they're dying inside (apart from the ones who obviously think they have genuine comedic talent... they don't)....
Hastily-written comedy sketches with all our "telly favourites" to soften us up, followed by the devastating body blows of films about orphans and abused children to make us feel guilty for laughing (if by some miracle we have). Oh look, there's Simon Cowell in Africa - it's just like a real life version of an X Factor sob story.....
An all-new Little Britain sketch that's about as funny as drilling holes in your kneecaps (but the same could be said of the last 3 series of Little Britain, so fair enough I suppose)....
Yes, I know it's all for a good cause, it's all for Charidee, but that doesn't excuse it being so second rate. And why does it all have to feel so bloody DESPERATE??!!!! :x
Sorry.
-
I agree.
-
I was going to use watching Comic Relief as my excuse for not practicing for the BKP Meet tomorrow... You've F**ked that now...
I can't bear it either... :shock:
-
If it makes you feel any better...davina is going to be taken over by Claudia winkleman...though Davina does look hot in that dress & David Tennant is a genuis anyway;)

I think Comic Relief is just losing it's novelty like Christmas in July despite it being for a good cause.
-
I heartily disagree!
:D
I have very special and personal reasons for being very attached to Comic Relief. And in days gone by, it HAS been a vehicle for some really great comedy, in my humble opinion.
And I quite fancy Davina.
Mark.

...though Davina does look hot in that dress & David Tennant is a genuis anyway ;)
She does when she's not doing the annoying faces and little-girl voices. Which is all the time.
And Tennant was a fine Dr Who, even better in Takin' Over The Asylum... but he's just as much of an arse as Ross, Norton, Kielty etc in this context.
Hmmm, Claudia's looking hot... although I always think she looks like she's on drugs.
-
Every year, though, we need to be shaken from our comfortable lives and reminded of the pain and horror that exists within Lenny henry's stand-up routines.
-
i can't stand it either. :( what i can never understand is why starving and/or sick people in africa is not a good enough reason to give to charity, but cr@p "comedy" and crazy stunts are valid reasons.
"Will you give me some money to help me eradicate AIDS in Africa?"
"er, i dunno..."
"Did i mention I was biking around the great wall of china on a unicycle wearing a silly chicken outfit [and blowing most of the proceeds in the process paying for a ticket to china] while eating as many donuts as i can?"
"WHERE CAN I SIGN UP?!?!?!?!"
:shock:
-
Anyone gonna bet on a fraud taking place? :lol: :shock:
-
I haven't watched it in years-I cannot bear it either.Fortunately from the charities point of view it doesn't affect my willingness to give...just not tonight when I'd have to sit through that.
-
I'm not a fan either. Something I absolutely detest is the 'charity collectors' that swoop on cars at traffic lights when the lights go red. It really gets my goat, especially when they put on their holier than though faces when it becomes obvious that the window and wallet are not opening.
-
you mean fraud or editorial error.haha?
i work at BBC television centre. im not in work tonight and im not a straight up BBC employee.
i can say that they really do take stuff like that seriously. i think ever since the whole government vs greg dyke affair a few years ago its been open season on the BBC. and again... you dont know what you've got till its gone.
as for Red Nose Day and Children In Need. they've been going along in the same format more or less for so many years now. Its probably funny if your younger and haven't watched it or been through it a bunch of times.
I dont think many people are giving to charity at the moment. ive noticed a massive increase in the number of 'charity muggers' in the streets. so i assume things aint going too well.
-
I'm pissed and about to go out to the pub, yay for me :D
-
Another year of the same stuff as last year and again it won't make any difference. Next year and every year after that, it'll be the same. You would of thought that after so many years of doing this and other charities, there would of been some difference.
-

:lol: Amen to that ...
-
i'm actually more likely to give to a charity which doesn't pull stupid stunts, and waste half the proceeds.

A comment which ( again ) just proves this forum is becoming a fount of wisdom . :)
1) Decide on your own favourite charity(s)
2) Go into that particular shop, website.
3) buy lots of stuff and / or leave a tenner
4) Give us Friday night back ......
:)

Love his Premier Inn adverts though. Best work he's done in years. :wink:

" But we assure you Sir, Lenny is not actually in here now " ... :roll:

No way i'm watching that stuff, if they were so serious about this stuff you'd be being told to give to these causes every day. Not just one day in the year where everyone things 'sh!t! these peoples life really suck, lets do some unfunny things, so that the general public can feel guilty for a day and then forget it all for another year until we put them through this cr@p again?'
Although that Top Ground Gear Force last year was bloody hilarious.
Also we had a casual clothes day at work because of it, and i deplore (is that a word?) any man to find a reason not to where his monkey suit for a day.
-
It must be said, Davina and Carol Voderman are looking rather good tonight.
Too bad they're both more than double my age.
-
Are you looking at the same women as me?
Davina looks like a drunk and makes me want to puke with her ineffectual presenting style.
Claudia Winkelman always looks about 50 years older than she should be.
Carol Vorderman is very much getting beyond the mutton-dressed-as-lamb phase now and dressing up in a lycra jumpsuit covered in velcro is not going to change that.
Then again I'm not into older women.

also, don't give any money to "chuggers" on the street trying to get you to sign up to charities- they get commission. i want my money to go to charity, not some gimp on the street who's pissing me off.

A Recipe for success!

Glad to see so many people on the same wavelength as me- I haven't watched it at all this year (not that i've done in years), and i actually didn't realise today was Red Nose Day. I don't get all these 'comedians' who come out of the woodwork for these occasions- they're just not funny!
Philly: In that advert, Lenny Henry got out-acted by the plastic duck!
-
Kate Moss looked good in that cr@ppy sketch which is unusual IMO due to my being put off by her general oblong-ness.

Hehe. Oblong.

some of us went out tonight and dont have a clue what you mean... yay for a life ;)
it was the second spring burton beer festival. obviously being a brewing town we have had a beer festival for many years but the spring one is new.. the anual one is now called summer and we have had a winter one for a while too. lots of fun but it always makes me glad i am not single, slim pickings at a camra event
-
I went to work.
Yay me.
-
I didn't watch it all.
But still, yay to Comic Relief!!!
-
It's always been shite. I wouldn't give it the steam off my piss but do give money to rattlers sometimes. Lenny Henry is about as funny as burst piles dipped in vinegar.

"Yeah that's what I'm talking about" Yes Lenny its a bath and a standard one at that. Most hotels have them.
-
I hate devina and no she isn't hot..don't get that..winkleman is worse....thought I was the only one who hates it
-
I used to laugh my ass of at it, until the one in 2007 which wasn't funny at all. Some great stuff, especially in the 90s on there, but now it's just cr@p.
-
I was out being a drunk
-
I've always thought that Claudia Winkleman looks well mucky....
Comic Relief - well I did enjoy the James Corden/England footy team bit, but most of the rest, well...
Idea is great but they do drag it out on the telly
-

Who can blame a man for 'donating' mucho cash to his favourite charity ? ... :mrgreen:
-
I can hold no ill against Comic Relief after it was responsible for the GREATESTPOP MUSIC VIDEO OF ALL TIMEthis year.
I mean that, greatest pop video ever. With no exceptions.
-
that's a very good point, actually, if you're thinking about the same thing i am... :lol:

Womens fashion should have ceased to progress in 1950.
-
to be honest... nah. but that video is indeed awesome.
-
I watched it all on sky+ last weekend, by watched I mean fast forwarded a lot
the pacing is awful, I think all the "funny" bits would actually be funny if it wasn't for all the contrast between the serious stuff and comedy, there is a reason why stand up comics need to get the crowd going first... or wait until they are all pissed
and when you've waited an hour for a sketch, it's 30 seconds long and that's it, so the reward for watching an hour of rubbish isn't worth the effort
