Fry had his moments, but mostly came across as a patronising bellend to anyone who didn't know the thing some people had researched and printed off for him. Can't stand the man. I hate you.

Seat68 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Jen Brister, Katherine Ryan, Janey Godley, Suzi Ruffell, these on a bd day are funnier than Michael McIntyre. Thats a small list and funny women do not begin and end with Jo Brand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Turned over a bit early for the footy on BBC1 and Songs Of Praise is on. Takes me back to the horrid Sundays with only four channels to watch and we'd sometimes have to sit through it. Don't really have as much of an issue with hymns but it was one of those abominable full Christian clearing in the woods rock bands playing.

Narcissistic clearing in the woods. A girl on my office has a mouse pad and coaster that are just her face.

Either I've tuned in to her sense of humour, or she's developed and grown in to the roll but I really enjoy her material currently. Pascoe is brilliant. I find her and Katherine Ryan make me laugh more than any other comedians these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Yes I like her more now, happens that way, maybe when comics realise there's more space to develop a set beyond doing what they think is expected, the can develop. I've found shows like Taskmaster a great way of discovering new funny folk - of both genders. The women have largely all been good fun: Aisling Bea, Lolly Adefope, Sally Phillips ( well knew her already ), Ryan, Pascoe, Kerry Godliman and Jess Knappett have all been good. Only Alice Levine was rubbish, but then, she is a radio 1 DJ so that is entirely expected. Edited March 18, 2019 by Rodders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedant alert “Someone’s knockin’ on the door. Somebody’s ringin’ the bell.” I’d hadn’t heard that song before those adverts. In fact I still don’t think I’ve heard it all the way through. Dreadful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll go on holiday somewhere nice and just upload pictures of her face. It's so weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2019 I don't know if this pisses me off... it's more bizarre than anything. Last night I got a message on TripAdvisor from a totally random person. It just said "You're a clearing in the woods" I mean, fair enough. But how did they KNOW I was a clearing in the woods? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for their male counterparts who would never dream of smiling for the camera but have to look moody or scowl as if they're "propa gangsta, blad !"....they're even worse !

Immaturity at it's finest This. Stupid clearings in the woods! My female cousin always did this stupid pouting thing in a picture which gave her the look she had just been thumped in the mouth by someone. Do these morons not realise they look nothing more than totally **** stupid muppets in these pictures!?? - There is a reason I barely speak to her much these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taskmaster in general has had me liking all the comedians on it by the end of the series, even Russell Howard. The only female I've found a bit annoying is Aisling Bea (Alice Levine is hot so gets away with being less funny). Kerry Godliman and Sally Phillips were great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unused Sub Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Its been done many times before: other people having music on their phones when on the train. On loud speaker. Its just a chap talking into a drum machine with a bit of keyboard. I have no desire to listen to it, I'd prefer to travel in silence thank you.

The arrogance of these type of actions is not only infuriating but also mind boggling. These people truly do live in a different world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
