Oh yeah I understand that, it just annoyed me because I knew half the jokes before they were told. I’m a bit geeky like that with Reeves And Mortimer

i never saw it growing up so i’v only seen it as an adult so i think its not that good. that might be down to Reeves being annoying in the last few years.

i like amstell on buzzcocks, lemar seemed a bit jaded by the end of his stint on it. i used to hate the heres the jokes we didn’t have time to use on the show bit at the end, pointless, but people would still laugh.

Yeah, I agree with you on the Matt Lucas thing. So much better seeing him play Georgie Doors, than the only gay in the village of shitty sketches.

Have you got a bit of a chip on your shoulder, Kill_Hill?

Just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean it’s not funny! :p
