Rio Ferdinand was replaced by his puppet when he missed the drugs test - The real Rio has not been seen since

[Earl Hafler]

OM's ma again?

[Guest Budo]

It was infantile sh!te!

 

Satire for the sake of satire.

[Scally the Wag]

Sort of agree with Budo a bit there like you know what I mean.

 

Some good gags, but overworked...

 

Needed a rest, a long one. Could be a good time to come back now though - perhaps for a limited run to maintain quality.

His stand-in Snoop Dog, also failed the drug test...

[fyds]

Infantile shoite maybe - certainly at times - other times it was cutting edge - the election night special one with Thatcher and her government in the bier garten singing 'Tomorrow Belongs to me' was truly creepy.

 

One of my all time faves was the Bond comparison sketch as they were casting around for a new Bond, showing Roger Moore and Sean Connery debating who was the best:

 

'When I wash Bond 'slurs Connery 'We had the mosht beautiful girlsh - I had Pussy Galore...' he smiles knowingly

'...and I had Beaver Mc Fanny' adds Moore raining a quizzical eyebrow.

[Nebraska Red]

just watch The Daily Show on Comedy Central. You get enough political satire every day.

 

Today's special was on "Portscenter."

there's nowhere near enough satire on TV nowadays. and if anyone claims that little britain is satirical, they can f*** off.

When Rory Bremner's the only vaguely satirical voice on mainstream telly, you know you're in trouble.
