The Tumbleweed awards

Are the boarders of Cook'd and Bomb'd bigger wankers than the boarders of Barbelith? Who'd win in a fight. Despite that their comedy awards make briefly interesting reading.

Most Unintentionally Hilarious Programme:
Ultimate Force

I'm happy to saythat the Atlantic Ocean seems to have insulated me against most of those shows, though for a bit my folks recorded Shirley Ghostman and sent it to me and I found it pretty awful.

they're dead wrong about The Mighty Boosh though...

Rob Spalding · 15 December, 2005, 01:00:10 AM

I like Ultimate Force.
Cheesy - YES
MAcho Posturing - YES
Big Explosions - YES

Perfect Friday Night with Beers in Viewing

They're spot on about Ghostman on Ross. I don't think I've ever sat through such a painfully poor appearance. He managed to alienate the audience, embarass Ross, and offend David Schwimmer in just a few minutes that felt like hours.

If you don't like Ultimate Force you are either a girl, a homosexual, French or dead.

Ah, what!? How is Buzzcocks a runner up for worst panel show? It's genius! The only thing I look forward too on TV these days...

Or if you're Joan of Arc, you're all of the above.
That's the editorial direction I'm taking with her life story, at any rate...

Byron Virgo · 15 December, 2005, 06:11:56 AM

That story hasn't seen much progress in the last year though, has it?

Carlsborg Expert · 15 December, 2005, 06:21:03 AM

What did they say;Arch Nemesis, about the Mighty Boioosh?

Worst Animal Whimsy Mention:
The Mighty Boosh

Ah, animal whimsy. The pride and joy of comedians with nothing to say about anything. Cutesy, cuddly, drippy, trippy, studenty dross, all of it. 'I don't care if they have anything to say, all that matters is that it's funny' goes the truism. Yeah, but animal whimsy is like a curry with no spice - what's the point? 'Aw no, it looks like a big monkey, with the eyes of a giraffe... quick, let's confuse him with jazz dancing!'. SHUT UP FIELDING AND SEE ME AFTER CLASS.

I agree with everything, except for 8 out of 10 Cats, okay it had Jimmy Carr, but it was OK, nowt amazing.

The fact that I was on Balls of Steel, and that I watched every Friday to see if they were showing my bit, is something that will haunt me for the rest of my days.

On the plus side, I did almost completely fuck up an item on the Friday Night Project earlier this year.

Eric Plumrose · 16 December, 2005, 04:00:38 PM

>> I like Ultimate Force . . . Perfect Friday Night with Beers in Viewing.

Except ITV inflicted it 'pon us mid-week, iirc.

Being an undead, pre-pubescent lesbian, my thoughts on Ultimate Arse can be summed up thus:

C'est merde.

The Amstor Computer · 16 December, 2005, 04:15:52 PM

Krust --

You were on Balls of Steel? Oh, the humanity!

Still, I'm sure they'll be using your bit on the next series - such a great show must get recommissioned, surely?

;-)

Roger Godpleton · 16 December, 2005, 07:57:14 PM

Apparently they only showed my bit on E4. I was coming out of Forbidden Planet, and one of "the gang" held a sign reading "Lives with Mum".

Mr C · 16 December, 2005, 08:05:32 PM

"Lives with Mum"

BWAHAHAHA p0wnd!

Oh, wait... damn I'm 22 and still live with the parentals!

Not for much longer though, hopefully should get a place of my own in the new year.
