Thought it was fantastic and I'm delighted Chris Morris is still in the 'interviewing' role. Anything that gets him on TV is fine by me.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
Yeah, that was my view too. Great to see Morris back, but the stand up segments weren't his best. But as you say, I could listen to him read the phone book...complete with awkward pausing and audience berating.Didn't think it was one of the better Comedy Vehicle episodes but I enjoyed it none the less.
Saying that, I could listen to him for hours without really laughing and still come out of it happy.
Yeah, it's a bit annoying, especially given that most people who like him will probably have seen the material before. Then again, maybe he's reaching a wider audience and it's new for lot of viewers. Some of the stuff I haven't seen before is still brilliantI'm not enjoying this series as much so far. Possibly due to the recycling of old material. There's been chunks of the first 2 episodes cut and pasted in from previous full length live shows.
Yeah it was a shame because the episode started pretty well but the Rod Liddle bit took up 20 minutes, chewing being the last 5 or so, without even having Chris Morris interlude to break it up a bit.Weakest one for me tonight. He seems to be almost consciously trying to jump his own shark with the Rod Liddle & (earlier) Jeremy Corbyn bits this season.
Yeah, I feel exactly the same.Thought his previous series was a bit disappointing (though got better as it went on). This one's dire, so far. I would say that if I hadn't seen the first two series I'd wonder why the BBC were commissioning it but the truth is the problem is I have seen the first two series and he's doing the same jokes that were in them.
It didn't have any sections where I was waiting for him to move on
I will watch it. I enjoyed most episodes of this series. The Jeremy Corbyn cat piece and his food on Rod Liddle piece last week were painful though. I just think he really labours his routines sometimes.A friends review of the latest episode, which I agree with
He does, and I think he does it on purpose and knows that people don't like it. I think that's part of the fun for him - doing something weird and dragging and repetitive because he can. It's funnier in theory than in practice though - I'm not saying I particularly enjoy it, though I did like the Corbyn bit much more than the Liddle bit.I will watch it.
