A bit hit and miss but the John Barrowman musical spoof was hilarious and, as a one-off, the Jane Austen spoof was OK. And I wouldn't climb over Ingrid Oliver to get to Rikkor. For a much funnier two-woman comedy sketch duo, though, check out Shirley &amp; Shirley. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=39313#post-115459 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:47:04 +0000 button 115459@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Has anyone wathced the Vic &amp; Bob Afternoon Delights on the Fosters Funny YouTube channel? Very good stuff if you like Vic &amp; Bob (if you don't you'll probably think its shit). Parts of the new Fast Show shorts on there are also very good. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=39313#post-115350 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 08:00:24 +0000 dvo4fun 115350@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Caught the last few minutes last night. First thought was it looked like 'school entertainments' all those decades ago when I was a spotty 15 year old. Then I wondered whether in fact it might be extremely funny but that, because of my age or something, I just don't get it. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=39313#post-115331 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 05:07:20 +0000 Golgo13 115331@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Is anyone else sticking with Watson &amp; Oliver? Either it's getting better, or I'm just starting to get used to the running characters. </p> <p>My 10 year old saw it and we now go around calling things "Nice" "Really Nice" or "Really Not Nice" etc. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=39313#post-112978 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 09:52:18 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 112978@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I saw a little bit of it, and I didn't find it especially funny, but I've seen worse things on TV.</p> <p>I'm a miserable sod though, and the last thing on TV that really made me laugh was a documentary about Tourette's, which somebody claimed means I'm a bad person. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=39313#post-112959 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 06:45:27 +0000 Golgo13 112959@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm going to go out on a limb and say I have enjoyed parts of Watson &amp; Oliver. Not a lot of it. But some. </p> <p>And since I'm shinning along this limb, I enjoyed Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy too.

These two - who the feckarthey? If you don't like em don't watch em. Mind you I like the idea of someone deep frying their own head. So something good has come out of all this. For me, anyway. Otherwise not much sense in carping.
