Horne + Cordon = Shit

It saddens me this it really does and I'm sorry to be banging on about it but as expected Horne & Cordon's sketch show on BBC3 was an absolute affront to comedy. If anyone off the street had submitted any of the sketches from that show to the Comedy Department they would not get past the first read. It was a fucking embarrassment to all concerned. Go watch on iPlayer then vomit out your eyes. Apparently 817,000 viewers tuned in to episode one. That should drop off to 817 next week.

We know James Corden is fat but doesn't mind taking his top off so let's have 3 or 4 fat related sketches. How about a gay war reporter? How stereotypical can we make it. Let's watch some old Dick Emery shows shall we. What about a sketch about kids drawing cocks. OK but let's make sure it has no punchline though.

To think of the wit and invention shown in other comedy from the US and even in some shows here and yet this utter shit is served up. There are plenty people out there writing comedy who will never catch a break because of the short-sightedness of throwing money at someone who's had a hit doing something else. We shouldn't expect anything less from the channel that has spunked up Two Pints Of Lager And A Wank In Yer Mooth. What makes it worse is the amount of advertising that has supported this show.

In summary - fucking cunts.

That feels a little better.
