Indeed Amy, it is terribly tiresome. But, much to my displeasure, the majority of our members and posters are bitter, failed wannabe writers themselves, so take a negative view of everything on British television, their opinions poisoned with jealousy.

Anyway, welcome to the site.

Hello and thankyou

Yes I guessed so! Perhaps they should put a bit of time and effort into improving their own writing then, rather than constantly criticising everybody elses
 

Indeed. I've tried telling them many a-time, but alas, they refuse to take note!

Sorry... NOT!
 

Got the first four episodes on tape,(missed them 'cos ive been away) and Ive just watched the first two-absolutely brilliant. The first epsidoe especially was, I thought, astoundingly good. Great, great characters, cracking script, and very funny indeed-on with the next two epsiodes then! Oh, and i cant be arsed slogging through this thread, but are there still a load of people slagging this show off? Fools. Its tidy.

My flat's tidy. It's not funny either.
 

I'm with Matthew on this and there's too much to read back through to see what the general consensus is on this.

I think the show is excellent and one of the best modern sitcoms by a long chalk.

There's lovely isn't wasn't it doesn't it? Look you all!

Go on then! Say something funny! Go on!

I may be wrong, and Im reading a lot between the lines here, but I dont think Godot likes this show. And it seems to annoy him for some reason. We cant all like everything.

Sarcasm isn't humour, it's cowardly invective.

It's true, Matt. I dislike many shows - many that you love, including Torchwank, but we both like LOG, I think. Although it's influenced you a tad more than me.


 

Do you like the Mighty Boosh?
I'm sure there's a show I thought you'd hate but you love...

Where are all the good men dead, in the heart or in the head?
 

Oh yeah, we both like the Boosh. Although i'm not sure Matt likes it as much as i do.


Why did you think I'd hate it Zooo? For wit and and invention, it's amazingly sustained. I hate mediocrity and cliché, hence...

Sarcasm can be funny. I do love the league, though Im not really sure how much its actually influenced my own writing, especially not on the limited amount of material ive put up on here. But if it has, im not fussed, its a great show. Better to be influenced by good stuff than bad. Though I sort of take it that you were trying to take the mickey out of my writing for some reason. And I love the Boosh, but if you like it more then good for you.

I'm not sure why!
Just that you tend to come across as quite an intellectual know it all grown up type.
The sort that usually misunderstand and hate the Boosh.
Poor Boosh.
I was glad to be wrong.

I'm not trying to take the mickey out of your writing. I've taken the time to comment on sketches you've put up, which i don't bother to do for many people. I think you write well. I also think that most of your material is highly derivative. This isn't an attempt to damn you with faint praise, it's just you're not a very funny guy. Even your posts are not funny. The best you can do is snide. See above. Funny people are funny all the time. They can't help it. Producers are far more interested in people who are funny than people who can write.

There is probably a future in TV for you - perhaps as a comedy performer. But not as a writer. Your funny stuff is not original and your original stuff is not funny.

I've been drawing comics and smuggling them into cereal packets for years. Tom Paulin does Wheatos, I've seen him.
