how the frick did that happen? the only thing that comes close I can think of is jon hamm being in that episode of toast of london out of nowhere. it's so strange seeing such high profile people in zero budget shows.
I wouldn't put life's too short in that bracket, gervais was famous at that point, warwick is the biggest (lol) midge on the planet, and had a few big names in it.
I still don't even get it. Like I have gone and tried to watch the show and usually I can at least understand why something was supposed to be funny, even if I don't find it funny myself, but here I'm just utterly baffled by the entire production.
>2022 >We can all apologise when on the back foot. Has he reached out to any of the people he did on his show? He hasn't reached out to me. Has he gone to communities to talk about bullying? Racism? And to be educated? You can only ask him. >um why isn't he going around talking about bullying and roicism for this character he did on this show over a decade ago now
I do feel bad for Bongs it really does feel like not enough people rightfully call this dude and people like him in the country a moron
To be fair to Craig his career basically ended because of these skits. He couldn't get anymore work because he'd become a joke. I mean you would be a little salty.
If you're so bland that >CRAAAAAAAAIG DAAAAAAAAVID
is enough to upstage you and end your career, that's on you. Not like it did Lorraine Kelly or Ozzy any harm
He was a flash in the pan artist who had about two songs anyone knew. If anything, the show kept him relevant.
People still know who Craig David is. Try saying that for a lot of 90's musicians.
It was funny because it took a bunch of “celebrities” then proceeded to turn them into crass over the top Northerners. That was the joke. The mask thing always felt
Inspired by the puppets on Spitting Image.
He still seethes about it to this very day
He’s so fricking pretentious and even the dude on the chair next to him cant pretend to care
i'm trying to think of a modern comedy that isn't 02 arena bigglaff standup or haha aren't we being ironic using this formerly serious afternoon gameshow you saw as a student but now it's got all the people from the 02 arena bigglaff program in it.
No, it really went to shit. It used to be the main channel for decent sitcoms, at some point it became the endless panel show feed your senile granny watches for 12 hours a day
I think TV comedy got hit the hardest by the popularisation of internet video content. You still need skilled performers to do prestige drama but any kid with a phone has the ability to make a funny video.
Half of bong shows are panels. They have a state apparatus producing content, what do you expect. Nothing creative comes from the state, only the private sector.
Bo Selecta is basically anti-comedy. It's a lot cleverer than people give it credit for.
The whole running gag is that it's an impersonation show with no impersonations. Craig David doesn't talk like he's from Yorkshire or own a Kestrel. Michael Jackson doesn't say "Shamon motherfricker". That's why it's funny.
Either you get it, or you don't get it.
i think it's impressive that i've seen that guy be himself for about 5 minutes in 20 years. he's been in character as keiith lemon full time for years now, and was always the neckbrace guy before that.
Jumping on a bandwagon because "blackface" has become a trendy thing to complain about again, and "blackface" now means white actors playing benign black characters in cartoons, as opposed to explicitly derogatory shit directed at black people as a whole.
We all know it's not the same, and no one at the time thought Lee Francis was doing "blackface" (or Seth MacFarlane playing Cleveland for that matter), but Craig David's seething can't be contained.
I used to really like British comedy. Stuff like Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. Over the years I see the weakness in the English people for letting their country get to this bad of a state, so I avoid British media all together so as not to taint myself with the same weakness that comes from their mentality.
based moron, that image is from a glasgow train, because of sectarian violence between scottish football fans, those are a list of scottish prisons, it has nothing to do with england and whatever /misc/ moronation you're imagining.
The way /misc/ got convinced in 2014 that an independent Scotland would be some sort of based freedom loving small government white ethnostate based entirely on half-remembered Braveheart lines on will never not be hilarious to me.
I never want to hear how people don't get their opinions wholesale from Hollywood movies after that.
That's like saying it was the "weakness" of America that lead to endless wars in the middle east, or an endless influx of Mexicans, or the destruction of every old thing people used to like. No one was ever actually asked if they wanted this stuff, or given much of a choice.
they are though, they were on glasgow to edinburgh trains about ten years ago, as part of a racism/sectarianism generally don't be a c**t on public transport campaign, I saw them every day going to work.
I live right next to my local stadium and honestly I think anyone that has to live next to the hooligans that turn up to games will share the same opinion as you. It just turns into violence every Saturday. Met plenty of fans who just have enjoy the banter but there's never a time a match is on and c**ts don't turn up.
still is, craig davis never recovered.
Don’t be such a gossip
Bongs have shit taste in

go prep your bull
Truth
Why is it thirdie gets trampled in a bull stampede day again?
It was proper bo I tell thee

god dammit, you beat me to it
Catchphrase comedy was insanely popular back then.
Are you having a laff?
Scorchio!
I dun get it
aren't catchphrases brilliant?

Depp did this shit for awhile. I think he even had a cameo in vicar of dibley.
Depp has a habit of doing cameos in British sitcoms. Vicar of Dibley, Fast Show, Life's Too Short
i guess he saw them when he was shooting movies. i can't see how else he would even know they exist in the 90s.
I wouldn't put life's too short in that bracket, gervais was famous at that point, warwick is the biggest (lol) midge on the planet, and had a few big names in it.
>says paul whitehouse is one of the best actors he's ever worked with

Watch and learn, sonny jim
Him and Bob Mortimer come across as genuinely nice blokes
I would love to go fishing with them, being reassured all the time that hey, life is pretty damn good, all things considered
It's such a relaxing, nice show
I wish we had more like that, sincerely
It's such a shame that we don't
for me it's Ted. the way they both impersonate his imaginary voice is exactly what my dad did when I was a kid.
I still don't even get it. Like I have gone and tried to watch the show and usually I can at least understand why something was supposed to be funny, even if I don't find it funny myself, but here I'm just utterly baffled by the entire production.
it made the guy fricking seethe and it was hilarious that they milked it for so long. proper bo

because someone had an opinion and no one cared? not really following your point tbqh.
>no one cared
Isn't this show not being shown anymore? I think that's evidence enough.
it's 20 years old who would be broadcasting a pisstake of craig david?
Mad how Mel B was a better sport about it all than Craaaaaig Daviiiiiid
>Me minge is kicking up a right pong!
Most of Bo Selecta hasn't aged well now I'm 33 and not 12, but the Mel B bits will never not be funny to me
Mel seems like a reeet laff

This is literally it, British comedy fell off unbelievably hard some time around the early 2010's. Channel 4 in particular.
I'm not sure if Channel 4 got bad or if I just grew up and realised it always was
No, it really went to shit. It used to be the main channel for decent sitcoms, at some point it became the endless panel show feed your senile granny watches for 12 hours a day
I think TV comedy got hit the hardest by the popularisation of internet video content. You still need skilled performers to do prestige drama but any kid with a phone has the ability to make a funny video.
There'll never be another Chris Morris-type working in British TV
Damn, that's some extreme bogging.
Half of bong shows are panels. They have a state apparatus producing content, what do you expect. Nothing creative comes from the state, only the private sector.
bongs thought this was hilarious
but one of them is a burger
it was proper bo i tell thee
Americans will never understand the humour that lies in the tragedy and despair of the ironically overtly wacky.
It is.
Bo Selecta is basically anti-comedy. It's a lot cleverer than people give it credit for.
The whole running gag is that it's an impersonation show with no impersonations. Craig David doesn't talk like he's from Yorkshire or own a Kestrel. Michael Jackson doesn't say "Shamon motherfricker". That's why it's funny.
Either you get it, or you don't get it.
I dunno m8, the mel b impression was pretty accurate.
I thought the opening narration to “Michael Jackson Doin’ Porridge” was funny.
i think it's impressive that i've seen that guy be himself for about 5 minutes in 20 years. he's been in character as keiith lemon full time for years now, and was always the neckbrace guy before that.
He still seethes about it to this very day
which is hilarious because he was literally on the show, guess it was fine when the show was popular and he got paid to go on it.
Literally the "gay fish" shit from South Park.
Bo Selecta was just supposed to be absurd and stupid. It wasn't attacking him personally. the fact he doesn't get that is hilarious.
>racism
what was racist about it
Jumping on a bandwagon because "blackface" has become a trendy thing to complain about again, and "blackface" now means white actors playing benign black characters in cartoons, as opposed to explicitly derogatory shit directed at black people as a whole.

Name one german comedy. Name one french comedy. Name one russian comedy. Name one italian comedy.
Etc...
Is Asterix French?
Never mind. That's Swedish or something, isn't it.

'Allo 'Allo.
Like Bo’ Selecta.

The frick is sectarian language? Like Iraqi calling an Iranian a non-believer?
the two biggest football teams in scotland are celtic, historically catholic community fanbase, and rangers, protestant, they hate eachother.
I will never fricking understand British football rivalries.
>I’m going to put you in the hospital because your team kicked a ball better than my team
And you'll never understand that the poster that gay posted wasn't even real in the first place.
they are though, they were on glasgow to edinburgh trains about ten years ago, as part of a racism/sectarianism generally don't be a c**t on public transport campaign, I saw them every day going to work.

Poor people stuff, innit? They basically want to kill each other all the time anyway. This is their outlet.
>Edinburgh
>Greenock
That'd be Celtic (Catholic) and Rangers (Protestant) supporters kicking the shit out of each other after a match
?t=34
>Peep Show
peak soi
Plus, who even knew Craig David was black?
I mean, he's a bit brown. If you told me he was Spanish, I'd believe you.
I just found out he's a tribesman
Bumblesquat!
>repeats the same jokes all the time
>was the highest rated comedy airing
It did fall off heavily, the last series was a disaster in the ratings
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Walliams#Controversies
what is with that guy and molesting kids on stage
it was/is. of course, this pussy had to apologize twenty years later for some reason,
craig david has said in interviews that he didn't even want to leave his house after these.
CRAAAIIIG DAAAAAVID
is that sam hyde?
Why is he dressed as George Floyd?
