TV Series


If you ever listen to his xfm shows you’ll get onto the fact he’s been doing it for 20 years.
I had to turn it off after ten minutes.

I got 15 mins in, and he’d rehashed a joke from the office about not being able to think of any funny black British comedians, rehashed to being about any funny women.

He did 5 or 10 mins on Trans stuff which had a few mildly amusing, well delivered punchlines, but if your act is saying things comedically that Piers Morgan said seriously 12 months ago, it maybe time get a new act.

What annoyed me to turn it off, was a bit that started about Louis CK being cancelled (he hasn’t been, he’s just won a Grammy, and is selling out Wembley Arena at £65 a ticket), but it then fed into a bit about Kevin Hart being cancelled for decade old tweets being surfaced.

The bleeding together of those very different things as if they were the same actions that led to the ‘cancellation’, felt like a cynical and dishonest bait and switch, and got my back up, so it went off. Will watch the rest at some point maybe.
 
Watched the new Ricky Gervais standup thing on Netflix, got a few chuckles but he sure does rehash old jokes nowadays
Never could like Gervais. Always seems like he was thinking he’s funnier than he is.

Stewart Lee has a joke that goes something along the lines of ‘if Ricky gervais calls a tree an offensive name in the woods and no Americans are there to hear it and tell him he’s a genius, is he still a genius?’
