This has to be the funniest commentary I've seen Hugh Dennis do on Mock the Week. His voice over is flawless as he speculates as to what might be going on with the Queen and Jaques Chirac at the famous long table. Dinner, or something more fun?...
Bizarre ad for the down-on-its-luck car manufacturer. I'm sure with all the recalls Toyota has done recently, many Toyota owners will be feeling this has already kind of happened to them. I hope your car is in full working order.
The Scottish comedian Danny Bhoy teels the sydney Operah House what he thinks of the Australian Parliament. Sounds spookily similar to the British one actually...
Guest Johnny Vegas gets a bit familiar with 'Genius' host Dave Gorman, as they try out the coveryor duvet (one that goes all the way round the bed to stop any troublesome cover stealing) in front of it's incredulous inventor. Dave Gorman's live stand up tour, entitled 'SIT DOWN, PEDAL, PEDAL, STOP AND STAND UP' is going on at the monent. He started this tour last year while cycling arund the UK, and is now going to the places he didn't manage to visit by bike. check out Dave's Website for more details. It's a fab show - I was lucky enough to see it last week.
Simon Pegg stars in this BBC comedy, set in the days when hippies didn't wash and revolution was in the air. Here, he makes the point that golf is for the establishment.
Warning - very strong language and controvercial views! This made me chuckle. Doug Stanhope on Charlie Brooker's BBC4 show Newswipe, discussing the problem of over population. It's funny 'cause it's true...
Popular 'Mock the Week' segment, where Hugh Dennis does the voice over to a news clip. This time it's London Mayor Boris Johnson and Conservative Party Leader David Cameron - on the buses!
Clips from Charlie Brooker's BBC4 'Screenwipe' programme, where he reports back on the week's TV, no matter how awful it proves to be - brave, brave man. The song 'I Can't Watch This' by Weird Al Yankovic, is a parody of MC Hammer's eighties hit 'You Can't Touch This.' Cleverly done.
Aussie comedian Adam Hills and atheist hero Robin Ince do a gig in Edinburgh in aid of Amnesty International. Topics include - man with a potato for a brain: George Bush, and the Daily Fail, I mean: The Daily Mail.
Sketch comedy from BBC3's Man Stroke Woman. Daisy Haggard, Nicholas Burns and Amanda Abbington star in this valuable lesson for anyone planning a wedding - don't say it's for a wedding!!!
Hugh Dennis from 'Mock the Week' in the round called Newsreel, where he provides the voice over for a news clip. This time it features Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla as they visit the Royal Family. Just fab.
Stephen K Amos, one of the best comedians in Britain today, chats about the way he is received in Australia and the US. If he plays anywhere near you, I urge you to go and see his show.
The king of rants, Charlie Brooker, takes a look at the nauseating show known as 'My Super Sweet Sixteen.' If you've ever seen it I'm sure you'll be ranting along with him. If you haven't, this a pretty fair summing up. Also, I know what he means about people who use the word 'party' as a verb and the font Comic Sans. Wrong, very wrong. Here's a preview if you're not sure what to expect from Charlie - "Fortunately for whining snotface, the party goes with a bang: she enters looking every inch the cosseted flesh-waste she is, and her and her irritating scumbag friends party on into the night, dancing, shrieking, acting like pillocks, and generally making you feel like getting down on your knees and praying for a nuclear holocaust. " Refreshing, isn't it?
