Funny is as Funny does…or not.

 

 

How the Tories can avoid ridicule:

Typical BBC bias, always knocking the Tories with their jokes about Brexit and Boris.

Well Nish Kumar, host of the Mash Report, has a solution to that: “People always say why don’t you do jokes about Labour,” he tells the Red Box podcast. “But Labour are not really doing much at the moment. We feed off the news.

“The reality is the Conservatives are in power. If you want people us to stop making jokes about you, I would advise losing more elections. Being in opposition is a really good way to avoid being made fun of.”

Labour aren’t in the news because the BBC censors the news.  Simple.

Corbyn a paid up commie spy [who’d a guessed?]…Cox alleged to have committed sexual assaults….Labour’s massive misogynist streak…Labour’s massive anti-Semitism problem….Labour’s refusal to say what it wants from Brexit….Labour’s Momentum thuggery….Labour led by a group that champion terrorism and hardline Marxism?

Nothing to see here at all…no jokes, no satire, no fun to be made of.

That’s what we pay the licence tax for….however if you want jokes lampooning Trump, Brexit and JRM….here’s the place….spreading fake news and subversion of people and ideas they don’t like by the BBC’s usual method under cover of a ‘satire’ show….

The Mash Report has quietly become the first successful effort by one of the main channels to copy the hugely successful American fake news satirical shows such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. (Matt Forde’s Unspun on Dave has been flying the flag for some time.)

It has all the same elements: monologues from behind a desk, fake news headlines, correspondents and a live studio audience. In the past couple of weeks it has really found its voice, and a confidence that previous shows have lacked.

Did laugh at this from the Daily Mash [where the Mash Report gets its writers from]….they think it’s satire and they’re being clever but…people will read it and say yeah, true…coz in essence it is…white skin is better in northern climes, nature not racism…and paler women were seen as more healthy and fertile…say the scientists….so satire and yet…..in every joke there is an element of truth…

RACISTS have argued that the black Britons from the Mesolithic period changed to be white because it is better, and more should follow their example.

Bill McKay, from Swindon, insisted the DNA analysis that Cheddar Man had dark skin and blue eyes only proves that today’s immigrants need to try harder to fit in. 

He said: “What this proves is that 10,000 years ago man moved here, had a look about, realised that being black wasn’t suitable and made a bit of an effort.

“A few generations of grey skies and potato-based diets and they were proper pasty like Britons have been since time immemorial, which now means about 9,975 years.

“They realised that being white looks good in clothes, more respectable and means it’s easier to see your tattoos.

“Also around this period I imagine they invented darts.”

McKay added: “You thought this ‘black indigenous Briton’ stuff would throw me? My racism’s smarter than that.”

    Never seen it never will. Not with some one called Nish in charge as well as the reports here – the cartoon of piers Morgan doing something to President Trump was pretty off colour although I do believe of freedom of speech .

    As for the reference about ‘the daily show’ – seen it wasn’t up to much – very often Jon Oliver was as funny as a cup of sick – pretty smug Metropolitan bubble stuff too.

    Simon Evans, an alternative to mashed Nish, at Conservative Woman.

    Evans entertainingly disparaged the socialist preaching by many of his ‘petit bourgeois’ comedy brethren: ‘They live like socialists only in the sense that they are poor.’

    Lesson for the BBC: for genuinely subversive comedy, less of the Kumar Rogue and more of what Simon Says.

    JimS,

    I haven’t watched or listened to any bBbc output for a fortnight, including therir news programmes, and feel all the better for it.

    While flicking through Netflix tonight I came across Simon Evans in a Michael McIntyre show from Sunderland that was highlighted in TCW. I know it’s made by the bBbc but with Netflix you can manage filler like McIntyre. You can pick an episode and skip through bBbcs chosen ones such as Jack Whitehall, John Bishop and Sarah Millican to find some less indulged comedians like Evans, who I’d sort of forgotten about.

    No faux outrage or groupthink posturing, he extracted the urine from the audience and himself without any malice or aggressive sneering and was both clever and funny. I can see why he’s not on the bBbc half as much as he should be.

    The article by Nick Booth about the Pish Report that is referenced by TCW is basically what I have been saying to my friends and family about bBbc comedy for a few years now, endless bloody hyperbole, wordy shite without end.
