In the eighties, Richard Curtis was responsible for many classic comedies shown on British television. He was a writer for the fast-paced Not The Nine O’Clock News, the very first Comic Relief, a few episodes of Spitting Image, not to mention Black Adder and even Mr. Bean (when […]
Natasha Leggero, a poor blind man’s Mia Kirshner, has always been a mediocre and forgettable comedian. A couple of years back, this wannabe-funny and wannabe-pretty, stain of stand-up was busy doing her “I don’t like Hip-Hop music” act to bored audiences in empty rooms. When I first heard […]
Celebrity worship and Reality Television are diseases of this century for which we have yet to find a cure. Since the turn of the millennium, becoming a star has become as straight forward as heating a microwave meal, and like a TV dinner; Reality TV is a tasteless […]
Just as we thought all the racial and ethnic stereotypes shown on TV during the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s were dead and buried, in the late-’90s and early ’00s a lanky rat-looking twat gave xenophobia a televisual resurgence. From the first time we saw him on the 11 […]
Following the Boston Marathon Bombings on the 15th April 2013, a so-called “Lockdown” was issued citywide. People were ordered to stay indoors while a rag tag bunch of power-mad Security Officers occupied an entire town. To anybody with a clear head and sane mind; this looked extremely harsh […]
Channel 4 has sold out; plain and simple. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s, Channel 4 was synonymous with alternative perspectives and subversive ideas. It was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant line-up of outdated variety shows, dull soaps, and clichéd sitcoms. While other […]
Film and television is a white-dominated industry, not only in your country, but across the globe. For many years now, we have been entertained by Caucasian actors playing Caucasian characters. Most lead roles in most popular films are white, but this is hardly a surprise since the major […]
Russell Brand started off life looking like an East End version of the character “Buzz” from Home Alone. Then with the help of illegal narcotics and their associated contrived aesthetics, he then became a superficial Goth-wannabe, complete with all the clichéd piercings and tattoos. This pseudo-70s throwback then […]
Alex Zane has been fluking his way through television for quite some time now. This 33 year old, ex-E4, ex-T4 twat seems to be suffering from a premature mid-life crisis with his faux-hipster clothing and fucked-up comb-over which resembles a mutant spider-plant (Chlorophytum Cuntcomosum). For some unknown reason […]
Judd Apatow: a producer of lacklustre humdrum comedies which for some unfathomable reason are hugely successful. His portfolio includes scripts which, in an attempt to portray real life speech, are filled with staccato lines and awkward moments between awkward people. The result is not-that-comedic comedies and not-that-entertaining entertainment […]
Simon Cowell has become the bane of contemporary television and music. This socialite’s offspring has left a decade of god-awful television and pop music in his wake, and like most descendants of wealth, he was given his first job by his father, regardless of suitability. From this position […]
If you aren’t familiar with this wannabe documentary maker then you are one of the lucky ones. Those subjected to her pointless documentaries in the UK find themselves cringing at her aimless and downright amateurish handling of serious subjects. Stacey Dooley’s documentaries appear sporadically on BBC Three; a […]
