Another thing about t...I like that - Cynicalese...<br /><br />Another thing about the BBC I really dislike is that sometimes they allow "right wing" comedians on to their programmes like the Mash Report, so they can claim "balance". But these RW comedians are just stooges, not really challenging any assumptions, but just being a bit "edgy" within the limits set by PC ideology. They are about as funny as a bout of the flu - which serves the BBC's purpose very well.. <br /><br /><br /><br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-34341019866569557622019-10-12T16:19:17.383+01:002019-10-12T16:19:17.383+01:00I feel I have to justify watching it (the remote w...I feel I have to justify watching it (the remote was out of reach and I was too tired to move) but I too sat in front of HIGNFY last night. It was excruciating. Dull, unfunny and relentlessly anti-Trump/ anti-Boris in their superficial and unoriginal way. <br /><br />They have a particular HIGNFY way of speaking, a supercilious sneering in a dialect I’ll call cynical-ese. Hislop’s team-mate, Leyla Moran MP settled in and parroted it as if she’d been doing it all her life, and exchanging knowing looks with Ian. Her status as an MP and a Palestinian has rocketed her to <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-47686844" rel="nofollow">premature minor </a>celebrity-dom. <br />You already described Paul. A waxwork so stale that it has developed hyphae; it occasionally comes to life with a bout of faux ‘startled’ blinking.<br /><br />Believe me when I say that I almost felt sorry for Sara Pascoe. Not my favourite comedian, but on that occasion she seemed to have given up trying to be funny and looked quite cheesed off. She tentatively ventured some serious (non-comedic) observations before succumbing to the default cynical-ese. suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693686958796849316noreply@blogger.com
