We can't get enough of fucking zingers

Brits think tearing people down and collectively wallowing in their humiliation is the height of good sport.

>It's a Jo Brand episode of any panel show
>This is every fucking episode because she's the token woman

Cheaper and easier to make than scripted sitcoms

Its seems Katherine Ryan has taken over that role and dont care because noone is worse than Jo Brand

The only time this show is worthwhile is when Mortimer is on

>I am fat
>I don't like my husband
>Also I am fat

Who seriously watches her?

Cheap to make so the executives can have bigger salaries with all that TV Licence money you're giving them

Because Churchill.

This is the future """Great""" Britain chose.

the BBC literally has panel show diversity quotas and since women are simply not funny, she's the best they can get.

They're fuckin' great spontaneous comedy

Simple format that doesn't take much work.

Have I got news for you and QI are GOAT though.

The ones the BBC don't make too political are actually kinda good. Dave makes quite a few good ones, Taskmaster is hilarious

>Diversity policy
>Mandatory vagina

I just want David Mitchell being pedantic lads

They're cheap to make.

Jesus Christ that's fucked up. How did the manliest, proudest nation on Earth come to disrespect and dishonour their own heritage so much?

So, who makes you want to turn off a panel show?

>Russell Howard
>Sarah Millican
>Sara Pascoe
>Jo Brand
>Michael Mcintyre
>Milton Jones

Yeah she refused to do MtW because the men were in the spotlight, even though it's because they were the draws

>That one super left libtard muslim
>That girl with CP
>That puppet girl
>Most women

Al Murray

The BBC needs to keep its Labour-belt comedians in pocket so they might write a show from them at some point instead of just going to channel 4.

>Puppet Girl

Good god yes, why the fuck?

>it's an episode without Bob Mortimer

INTO THE TRASH IT GOES

Ian Hislop always gets me.

what about panel shows that aren't BBC

Richard Ayoade is GOAT

WILTY is great, so I don't mind the obsession.

What's wrong with Milton Jones?

Probably the same phenomenon that's responsible for all the american talk shows.

they are boring people

They're cheap as fuck to make

>They're cheap
>We've got gr8 bantz

That's literally it.

>How did the manliest, proudest nation on Earth

This thread isn't about the US

His FUCKING. HAIR.

That said hes not worse than
>CNTRL+F
>No Jack Whitehall

Makes irrelevant jokes that aren't even funny.

not funny

I've always seen them as the equivelent of our morning and late-night talk shows. Would I be correct in this assessment?

>rude word!

kek

>puppet girl
every time, fucking hell
lowest form of humour

Yeah, most of them are just shows that tell stupid people what political beliefs they should have.

British comedians are pretty quick on their feet with the bants, so panel shows work well. They're also better when it comes to being heckled.

American comics get red in the face and scream as soon as an audience member calls them fat

Us Brits are obsessed with banter, and it's basically comedians banter distilled. Used to watch them religiously as a young teenager but haven't since. Dont slag them off likes some people who think they're above it.

It's so spot on, you could replace the actual Ian on HIGNFY with him and no one would notice.

Ive stopped watching them.

the UK is basically

>Quips : Islands Edition

there are like 3 funny conservatives, sorry that this triggers you

I can't believe amstell died of aids from being a gay

>Liberals are funny

Fuck off Russel Brand / Eddie Izzard

>projecting THIS much

weeeeeeeeeeew

This is an elf

Nowadays Jo is one of the more tolerable female comics. That's how far we've come.

He really is

I really dislike Sara Pascoe.

They're cheap to make.

British television is fucking kino when they spend some money though.

>say something not funny
>turn and stare at the audience until you get a few pity laughs

That explains the English national team

god I hate this freakish tooth goblin

Do any of you find Jon Richardson funny?
I can't stand him.

I'm almost entirely convinced that they're there solely to keep British comedians employed.
For what reason, I'm not sure.

There's no Hollywood in Britain, and panel games are popular and cheap. It makes sense.
The best panel games are on the radio, though.

Amstell deconstructing Fieldings entire career with one line was GOAT

does QI count as a panel show

>not a single episode of anything where I don't feel burning hate for at least one of the panelists

why

FUN FACT: 1 in every 161,500 Icelanders has scored on England.

Why wouldn't it?

The joke he did about corn is funny though

>that interview

pretty funny, seems kind of genuine and not a persona too

>manliest
For all its achievements, the British Empire has never once been "manly."
