BBC2 10PM Could be worth a watch especially if it's as funny as some of the articles on
The Daily Mash.

If it's BBC it will have a strong left-wing bias.

So don't watch it if you're not a Labour supporter.

I was expecting it to just be the "Trump and May are ****s and all Brexit voters are Racists" unfunny and predictable stuff we've had for over a year solid, but when I read it was maybe going to be more like the Daily Mash, I've a bit of hope! I sometimes go on it and it can be pretty funny and kicks out in all directions, so here's hoping.

If it's like what the last leg or sadly 8 out of 10 cats etc have become, snowflake TV, forget it.

[x] Have a go at Boris
[x] Have a go at Brexit, it's a disaster
[x] Having a big go at Trump
[x] Notting at all so far aimed at anyone left of centre
[x] Not funny

All expectations landed. This is from the same BBC that produced inspired stuff like The Day Today and Brass Eye...

Well I was actually hopeful after reading of it's association with the Daily Mash and had an open mind, but that was sadly as bad as initially expected Sad.

BBC just dress their agenda under a different title hoping people will be fooled.

BBC used to make great balanced or neutral tv.

It was a bit like "Mock the Week" aimed at teens and twenties. A few jokes an occasional "daring" use of a "rude" word like c0ck (oo-er missus) and that's about it.
I'm not their target audience.

I don't know what I am, politically, anymore, the terms 'right wing' and 'left wing' are becoming very blurred and lost among all the other major divisions within our society

However, humour, if it's any good, should subvert expectations and never be boring. Repetition of slightly different riffs around central themes are tedious and lazy - and in my case have led to a wholesale switch off of stuff I used to think were a 'must see' each week.

Report moisok • July 21, 2017 11:18 AM BST
I find the comment that the right wing don't like jokes about themselves as enlightening.  If the jokes are mainly about the right wing then it is pure propaganda.

If most of the jokes are about the right wing then it is pure propaganda.  Did they do Junkers, Macron, Abbot, Corbyn, Gina Millar, Labour's PLP, Anti Union ??   etc etc?  Any immigration jokes ie the 30 year old children or any critique around the influx of passengers into our society?  Any anti eu jokes??   I haven't seen it but the 'right wing' remark made me look up.

It is horrendously lib/pc/right on.  One of the few good bits was when rachael parris spent a minute putting down the presenter at 10 mins in (nish).
Then the tory comedian came on at 22 mins with some vicious slants on the elderly. Very funny.
  At the end a piece about the middle class family airlifted to hospital to recover from their enforced coach trip.

The rest was anti tory and a large lump of anti trump.

Anti trump has nothing to do with right wing or left wing. More sane or insane.

45 minutes to the next episode! We could open a sweepstake!

It is of course like every other BBC/C4 "comedy" show in the last year so here we go:

Time to first predictable leftie rant at Trump
Time to first predictable tedious attack on Brexit itself as it is without question (!) a bad thing
Time to first patronising insulting swipe at the majority of the UK who voted for Brexit
Time to first attack on the tories in general
Time to first political attack on Boris or Gove

I'd say turn it into a drinking game but I don't want to see any of you in hospital SadWink

I'd list
Time to first proper attack on the EUs many MANY faults or that marxist tool Corbyn and his mob ..
but why list something that won't happen?
