10′O Clock Live: Revisited (because there was nothing else on)

The Lord of Leisure | March 9, 2011

Oh, who wants to hear about the Oscars, or the funny sh*t that Gaddafi’s been saying now? Yeah, well get with the now, it’s all Charlie Sheen we want now! (Seriously why? But that’s for another time)

While telling jokes probably.

The thing was, the programme didn’t get off to a flying start with various comments made by those with various devices attached to the interweb, mainly about how bad it was with the over the top audience, bad set comic set pieces, and not living up to the standards set by the American Import, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Jon must have called the controller of Channel 4 a rude name as he have been removed from More 4′s schedules (Oh yes, real prime time TV scheduling here) and then put back it seems, which unless you had watched it on a late night after having your arse waxed for a bet while drunk, lived in America long enough in order to have heard of it or googled it as what I had to do the first time it was mentioned, would you even care?

Brooker kicking off for the home team, it's a strong start...

Given that the 10 O’Clock Show has been fighting on, weighing 700 stone and wheezing while smoking 12 cigarettes at once given the lashing it had from the first week, the production team will have had chance to iron out some of the “niggles” as it were, instead of doing something more interesting like seeing what objects we can hold in our folds of fat on our bodies, let’s see what’s changed between then and now.

There is no god.

Who’s on Piers Morgan tonight? I don’t even want to go there, and I’ve watched midget porn.
