in defense of shooting stars, i think the weekly dove joke was one of the funniest moments on tv. it had me in tears every friday. especially when they got more and more elaborate.

Yeah, me too. Am I the only person who actually did find those jokes funny? I wasn't slagging Shooting Stars (well, maybe a bit), but it doesn't compare to moments such as the Lloyd Grossman sketch, which you only get if you let Vic and Bob be themselves, rather than constrain them within one format, ie 'celebrity game show'.

PS- What do doves watch after the news? The feather forecast.

ooohhh, i love really stupid jokes like that. i think more than the joke itself it's the sheer audacity to tell such an ~appaling~ gag.
and of course everyones reactions....
but when theyre let off their leash they are superb. i loved the sketch in bang bang where they couldnt open the car doors. the last one with all those monkeys in the other car. i screamed out loud in laughter.

That thing with the monkeys in the car is really weird actually, cos I also found it laugh-out-loud funny, but then I know at least 5 people who had nightmares about it. Weird...
What's your fave bit, would you say?

i love it when they're advertising their 'Reeves and Mortimer' products (what was that name of that security dog?). when they tell appaling jokes in general too, that's great.
my favourite bit, hmmm, the more basic the better. like farting and hitting each other with stuff. they do that dumb slapstick humour so well.
but it has to be the food and drink bit
"SO SWEET!"

That bit disturbs me, when Bob screams at the end cos his head is boiled. I like the bad pun names in the credits though, like Colin Alloccupantsofinterplanetarycraft and so on. My fave bit has to be the big fight at the end of BNO.

I love disturbing humour though. One of my all time favourite comedies is League of Gentlemen. Wonderful show.

Oh yeah, I like LoG too, it's not that. It's just that I... quite... fancy... Bob! *g*
