The Dissensus-wide loathing of panel games and "humorous" quiz shows keeps popping up in thread after thread, doesn't it? Modern Toss is on the same wavelength.

It's the discomfort and anxiety of realising we are a panel show

[woops]

It's like restaging one of those radio 4 panel shows you like. Indulgent audience laughter. We could call it "Pointless, but it makes me chuckle to myself"

One of the worst threads in the history of this forum was entitled "Bless"

I'm Ross Noble.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I'm Ross Noble.

Christ.

I shudder to think who I am.

 

[craner]

The one I hate the most of all is the one where Mark Steel goes around to towns and makes shit jokes about them, which all the local Radio 4 listeners come along to chortle at.

 

[craner]

Actually, no the one I hate the most is The News Quiz. In some ways it's worse than Mock the Week because it thinks it's better.

 

[craner]

Actually, that's not even true, the one I hate the most, with a steady, steely, molten, scorching lava-like hatred is The Now Show with fucking Punt and Dennis.

 

[craner]

I've got to stop talking about this, it stresses me out.

 

[luka]

Punt and Dennis are still broadcasting? Wormholes in time.

 

[craner]

Pure grifters. Never contributed anything of any worth to society. Assume the right to unearned superiority. Witless. Tone of leaden sarcasm passed off as satire.

 

[craner]

This is an unexpected thread derail.

 

[luka]

You're developing the fastitidious disdain for the bourgeoisie native to French novelists of the 19th century

 

[craner]

Only two steps away from the aesthetic isolation of Pater or Huysmans and I will have been driven to it by Punt and Dennis.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Christ.

I shudder to think who I am.

N.b. this should not be taken as a claim that I am, in fact, Christ.

 

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

Christ.

I shudder to think who I am.

Why, you're MilesJupp

DoB's a physics graduate and, perhaps, one of the less obnoxious ones, so I'll take that.

Poor Corpsey, though.
