FTA-TV Have You Been Paying Attention?

Surely that was Sam Campbell's artwork at the start of the show. Need to get him on this next time he's in the country.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Is Maria doing a bit? She's a little too out there for me.

Yeah, she's a bit of an odd bod to say the least. She got funnier as the show went on and to be fair, the first 5 or so questions were so Australian-centric, she wouldn't have had a clue what everyone was talking about.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

I thought the 300th show this week was the strongest one they've had in ages, even if Glenn's schtick is so recycled now it's basically a carbon offest for Channel Ten. I mean, he makes me laugh, but we've heard all of his jokes thousands of times before. He's the drunk uncle at Christmas.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Also, I've been watching the show a couple of weeks on delay, so haven't updated my ratings for a while, so here ya go (because I know you're ALL so interested in it).

For the love of God, please bring Tom back from early holidays.

Denyer was surprisingly ok I thought.
David Walliams however....deplorable.

Walliams came across as a smug, self-righteous prick.

Denyer was just behaving like a huge fanboi.

I think it's part of Walliams' schtick. He had some funny lines, was good to see an international guest actually get involved, but it did wear out a little by the end. Seeing Ed humiliated, followed by his absolute burn on Walliams was worth it though.

Not sure where the Schtick ends, and the real Walliams begins. There's a lot of unsavoury rumours about him back in the English comedy scene.

Agreed, the jokes about people he met were funny the first few times, but definitely came off as bragging by the end. Also, he did seem bored and wanting it to end late in the show (mind you, having been to a taping of a panel show in the UK, a one-hour show can take up to three hours of filming with lots of stuff left on the cutting room floor).

 

[Elvis]

We miss you Tom. For the love of God, please come back!

 

[HirdyLannister]

I thought Grant Denyer wasn't too bad last week, one of the better guest host in recent years.

Surprised they didn't get Hayley Sproull to guest host since she does the NZ version.

Yeah I thought Grant wasn't too bad either.

 

[JackOutback]

None of the hosts have been terrible because they’ve been sticking close to the script. But it does make you realise how quick-witted and natural Tom is.

 

[Underarm]

It's just weird considering the show is only only 20 weeks of a year. I get Sam taking time off but don't know why Tom is.

Probably tried sneaking into the Emmys.

They made a movie out of Hitler’s book?

Lloyd’s so good, he broke the others with that one.

I thought Irwin did fine, that interview with the kid was mesmerising somehow!

Yeh the Hitler book comment was the best one. Cracked me up.
