Just watching HIGNFY on Dave and Dave Mitchells on there doing a pretty decent job

Every time he says something funny and the camera pans to this little dwarf he's pulling the most unimpressed obnoxious face imaginable.

mertons worse, never ever hardly laughs at any other jokes bar his own
Report Guitarist • January 12, 2010 10:03 PM GMT
agree Yorky. The presenters and writing make that show

I actually think it couldve been even better if two other people had been picked. Some of the things Merton says are backwardly unfunny 'oh look a seagulls popping out of that mans head' etc

guitarist was shocked when heared 21 writers on the show

About a decade past its sell-by date, unfortunately.

Look up Brian Blessed and HIGNFY on you tube, if you want to fall off your chair laughing.

Yes, still love just not the two comedians. They started to stink the minute Deayton left

It was funny 20 years ago. Haven't watched it for years. At least its football clone "they think it's all over" had the good grace to bow out when it ran out of puff.

Guitarist, the faces that are shown are NOT responses to the gag. The expression is put in when editing
Report Sir Denis Eton-Hogg • January 13, 2010 10:12 PM GMT
in that case they cant even find a pic of merton laughing to edit in!

The best hignfy was one with clement freud. Superb wit, even had Merton laughing.
Report 718 • January 13, 2010 10:14 PM GMT
That's why I know it!

On a programme a few years ago (not HIGNFY) someone said something to him and he started guffawing. He then said something like "That's the first time I've laughed in 6 years)

hislop is a legend, best on the show by a mile. yorky is spot on about merton though. pretty unfunny and never laughs at anyone elses jokes which are almost always funnier.
