ITV “COMEDY”
A DFS half price sale, which kills 99% of all known germs and spreads straight from the fridge cunting please for ITV who have decreed that in future there will be no more naughty male-only comedy scriptwriters employed by ITV. What a good job the snowflake generation didn’t come along when Frank Muir and Denis Norden, Alan Simpson and Ray Galton or Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais:

I had no idea ITV still produced comedy – their last effort “Bad Move” was unceremoniously dumped last year with ITV motherfucker in chief Kevin Lygo dismissing comedy by telling the proles they could get their comedy from the soap operas (though even Mrs Boggs finds Corrie humour heavy handed and Emmerdale Farm’s non-existent).
Of course the BBC went down this road years ago when they decided that every panel/comedy show had to have at least one ugly overweight dyke on it (the reason Jo Brand still exsists I suppose), who to a woman are as funny as World War 3.
The result of the BBCs edict can be heard each evening on Wireless 4 at 6.30 with ancient quizzes still being spunked out, and *ethnic* comedians in 4 part series, or American iron David Sedaris (not a woman but he talks like one with a high pitched whine), Australian lesbians, American lesbians, – last weekend they even started a serial about a female Parking Stanley detective.
These broadcasting harridans and pansies need to remember one thing: men on the whole are better writers and performers of comedy – there have been exceptions – Hylda Baker, Beryl Read, Joan Sims, Fennella Fielding, Betty Marsden, Hattie Jacques and Eleanor Summerfield but they are a minority, and a very small one.
Most present day comedians are just cheap and repetitive, and fucking ITV need to find some real comedy, performed by men OR women – not just unfunny lezzies that the wimmin commisioners fancied at Oxbridge.

Fine with me.
As long as they let us know which bits are funny.
The old fashioned way just doesn’t work anymore, you know writers submitting scripts and the ones that were funny sometimes got chosen.
Being funny doesn’t actually matter compared to ticking PC boxes.
Call me cynical but a writer can submit a script under an assumed name as Ronnie Barker did most of his career. He wanted to know if he was funny or whether the fact he was Ronnie Barker was the difference.
This exercise ensures women write comedy but puts the comedy value last.
ITV killing comedy.

Comedy is as good as dead in the UK. It’s been killed by the long dominion of so called “ alternative comedy “ which has now become mainstream and therefore no longer “ alternative”. All comedians spout the same obnoxious left wing Libtard garbage, so typical and predictable that’s it’s only funny to Guardian readers who love hearing their prejudices confirmed.
To be fair, early alternative comedy could be funny. If you discount bell ends like Elton and Sayle ( both obnoxious cunts, although Elton is much better as a script writer than a stand up), programs like The Young Ones and French and Saunders were great. But it was all downhill from then on.
David Sedaris is a cunt as well with that reedy feminine voice.
Comedy needs to fuck off and get a sense of humour.
15
Elton was good on Blackadder as he left the politics out of it.
Everything else since though has been politically motivated, the deeply unfunny thin blue line immediately springs to mind.
5
I agree, but Upstart Crow is not bad. Or maybe it’s just because it’s not political and therefore hilarious compared to Libtard comedy.

ITV has only ever made two great comedies anyway…. Granada’s The Dustbinmen and Yorkshire Television’s Rising Damp… And great as its first series was, Auf Wiedersehen Pet was more like a drama series… Others had ace individual characters: like Potter in Please Sir or Blakey in On The Buses, but ITV has produced a lot of crap comedy over the decades…. Only decent thing ITV make at all now is Endeavour… There is nothing else either of note or value… In this climate of PC madness and the Femstapo turning the thumbscrews I expect that the likes of Peter Kay, Pemberton and Shearsmith and others will soon be unemployable… Simply because they are white and English heterosexual men…. The future of television is bleak already, but if all we’ve got to look forward to is ‘feminist comedy’ written by the likes of Phoebe Waller Cunt then things really are fucked…
13
Blimey Norman,
I forgot about the Dustbin men.
Does anyone remember Mickey Dunn with Dinsdale Landen ? It was a Tv comedy loosely based on Alfie ?
2
Dusbinmen was great… Corrie’s Jerry Booth as a psychotic City fan and Bryan Pringle as Cheese and Egg… A total cunt with a quirk of social conscience… Dunn does ring a bell, Fenton.
Adam Faith was good as Budgie too…
4
Their dustcart with Thunderbird 2 painted on the back.

Being a typical miserable northern cunt there’s very little that makes me laugh, certainly nothing on ITV. In fact out of my 250 film collection only about half a dozen could be described as comedies. My idea of a good laugh is Slapshot starring Paul Newman.
3
Oi Allan veering close to copyright infringement there, say maybe, a dour northern cunt! But yeah agree, modern an especially itv comedy is shite!
1
ITV are cunts, you are quite correct. They are responsible for putting tossers like Simon Cowell, Ant and Dec, Phillip Schofield and many more spunk trumpets on the screens of millions on a daily basis.
There was me hoping they’d replace Jeremy Kyle with reruns of Love Thy Neighbour.
Slightly off topic but I hear the there is going to be a Gay Pride Eastenders tonight. Barbara Windsor will be know as Pegging Mitchell for this episode I presume.
7
Not wishing to upset my legions and legions of female fans but I have to say the funny gene belongs to men, whenever I see a female comedian on the Tele I get embarrassed before even hearing the cunt.
Men… black, white, fat, thin, racist or even Gay are genuinely funnier.
Don’t know what it is but it’s the truth. Even the lesbian one’s who think they are male aren’t usually funny in my opinion.
The BBC live at the Appollo shite is terrible as well full of pro feminist male wankers laughing oh so genuinely at the ugly geordie slag with the big tits or some other Islington type cow joking about buying a coffee in Hampstead.
The cunts.
8
There’s no such thing as a funny woman, well not these days that’s for sure.
I sit their pan faced while they bang on about Donald and how silly men are. Wretched cunts one and all.
8
Comedy…
Don’t send a woman in to do a mans job.
6
Too right FF. I actually turn over if I see a woman ‘Comedian’
3
There aren’t even any great individual talents anymore… Yootha Joyce was great in George and Mildred although the show itself was pretty bad… Twats like Miranda Horse and Phoebe Waller Cunt aren’t even actors… They are just more or less themselves in whatever crap they do… Ask them to do a character like Mildred Roper or even Olive Rudge (Anna Karen was a trooper in that part) these feminazi knobheads wouldn’t know where to start…. They are narcissistic middle class gobshites playing narcissistic middle class gobshites and nothing more…. Cunts…
8
Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden ) was very funny and a good actress.
Stanley I’ve bought you some aftershave it’s called ‘ oi! Savage ‘
We are a family of professional cleaners, which puts us higher up in Godliness than some folk I could name.
6
Yeah liked Yootha Joyce! Fancy a early night george? (George shittin it) sorry mildred got to feed the goldfish! Haha. I liked irene handl in steptoe &son as a black sheep auntie with tourettes as well!👍
4
I think Rita Webb was the swearing Aunt in Steptoe… She was good at playing the sandpaper tongued cockney battleaxe… Her turn in To Sir, With Love is also memorable (‘Proper little faggot, ‘e was’)….
5
Rita webb is it? Seen her in few old shows always good! Yeah slightly pissed old ‘bleeding’ cockney, shes in the one where its a steptoe family funeral, statue on mantelpiece that they all want…
4
Rita Webb was hilarious, with a voice like sandpaper on a cheese grater. Eee’re wot you bleedin’ on abahhht?
2
ITV have never really done comedy that is actually funny so no loss.
Female comedians few and far between. Victoria Wood my all time favourite. Joan Rivers good too. Both sadly passed. Hilda Baker was great as an old style British turn. Smack the Pony had it’s moments. (‘I had a right minge on me in that photo’)
The funny bits in radio comedy are when the audience evacuate their bowels over some lame remark. But at least you know where the hilarity is supposed to be.
Cant think of a current female who rates more than a sneer and a yawn.
6
Judy Garland on stage was as funny as any comedienne… When she took out hecklers it was hilarious…. She could easily have made a career out of it…
Rachel Bloom is funny too… Did I say she has a magnificent pair of tits and all?…
3
I enjoyed the dating videos from Smack the Pony. Always thought Doon McKeechan was both the funniest and most attractive. A rare quality in female comedians.
5
I liked the Russian survivalist bird in the dating vid segments – think that was Fiona Allen though.
0
The female comedians behind Australian shows like Fast Forward and Kath & Kim are the only examples of woman I actually find funny.
Julia Louis Dreyfus was funny at times in Seinfeld, but she is a monumental anti-Trump cunt, and this cuntitude somewhat distracts from viewing her these days.
2
Remember her classic embarrassing dance routine?

Talking of ITV comedy… Is the Jeremy Kyle show still on?
6
Excellent cunting W.C Boggs. I would add June Whitfield to your list though. Just been listening to The Unopened Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and she is superb.
I haven’t read the article but I’d assume all female writers are ok? What if one of the writing team chooses to identify as a woman, is that Ok?
5
Whitfield was a legend for over 60 years except where she had to carry the unfunny cunt Terry Scott.
5
June was ace in her guest star slot on Steptoe & Son (Series 3: The Bonds That Bind Us)… Anyone would have thought she and Harry H Corbett were a longstanding double act….
5
Terry Scott what a cunting BLURT…about as funny as finding Treason May naked in yer bed.
4
Agreed. Other tossers of his generation were Harry Worth, Tommy Cooper, Jimmy Tarbuck and Morecombe and Wise. Ken Dodd was a riot.
0
They shouldnt have any products of all male writing partnerships either. That leaves us with The Young Ones (Lise Mayer) and Victoria Wood.
1
And Mayer was only there because Rik Mayall was giving her one at the time…
4
I didnt know that but im not surprised. I mean, he was The Rik Mayall.
1
Only Fools & Horses was great in its 80s prime… But then women came and ruined it… Sue Holderness was good as Marlene, but those other cunts, Cassandra and the horrendous man hating Raquel all but destroyed the show’s reputation….
Corrie in its pomp had some great comedy… Jean Alexander as Hilda and Liz Dawn as Vera come to mind… And the team of Elsie, Gail and Susie too… Rita and Mavis were also a good double act… Now humour on the Street involves that wooly woofter going ‘Oooooh!’ and that’s it…
8
Corrie can still be a fucking good laugh, but only because it is so bloody ridiculous, predictable and…laughable, really.
“If you have an ishoo with anything in tonight’s episode…”
I do, quite frequently. The crappiest script-writing imaginable.
The Maureen Lipman character is best thing they/ve done for ages.
4
There’s a new sitcom airing soon about some HGV drivers.
Looks like it could be good, I’ve seen the trailer….

Only if Tim Healy is involved.

Off topic, but in the news today it was announced that Jaguar Land Rover is investing hundreds of millions of pounds to build a range of electric vehicles at its Castle Bromwich plant in Birmingham!
apparently JLR couldn’t wait for the Brexit outcome, and just got on with the investment plans.
Typically this news will upset the Remainer cunts who are quick enough to jump on job losses due to Brexit; but are very slow to offer any support when a big business invests in Britain despite the so-called Project Fear
12
That’s right, and I couldn’t see anything about it on the Britain hating, Brexit hating BBCunts website. Imagine if this news had been the other way around? How the fuck they are being allowed to get away with their blatantly biased reporting is beyond me, particularly when they have a legal obligation to be impartial.
5
To their credit the BBC do have it, but its buried in their \England\West Midlands\Birmingham subsection, and also their Business section
nevertheless they don’t have it on their news front page, but finds space to tell us Kirsty Young is giving up presenting Desert Island Dicks!

Frankly, why is this even an issue? What comedies have they even produced and aired of late?
The only one that springs to mind from over the past few years is that shite ‘Vicious’ with Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi, which was a typical, PC pandering piece of drivel about an elderly gay couple.
That was clearly a sign of what was to come and what was going on with major channels, that being to lick up the bumhole of all of the bloody libtard snowflakes out there, who cannot possibly be exposed to anything resembling ‘old style’ comedy……i.e. the comedy that was actually FUNNY back in the good old days.
As far as I can see, there is no actual comedy on ITV anymore. It is saturated with mindless, superficial shit such as ‘Love Island’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, ‘I’m a Celebrity’, ‘The Voice’ and anything else that is sheer bollocks.
REAL TV COMEDY IS DEAD.
6
Yeeeeeeaaaah, you bastard, reminding me of that utter cunting DROSS that was “Vicious”
May I add to the list the truly cringe-making “My Family” with Robert Lindsey, the complete WANK that was “Josh” with the completely unfunny Josh Fucking Widdecombe with the normally funny Jack Dee embarrassing himself as “Josh’s” cunt of a landlord
A DIAMOND amongst the politically correct worm-iinfested shite was the very funny Black Books with the pissed as a fart miserable bastard Dylan Moran as Bernard Black, Bill Bailey (yes he was funny in this) and that rare example of a funny female, Tamsin Grieg., fuck all since then.
2
I remember some appalling ‘comedy’ on ITV from my childhood…
‘The Upper Hand’
‘Rich Tea and Sympathy’
‘Conjugal Rights’
‘Birds of a Feather’ (which I in fact cunted last year)
that shite with the Oxo mum and the bloke from the Likely Lads in the 90s
Holy fuck. The commissioning editor who passed any one of these steaming piles of excrement deserves to be covered in pitch, set alight and lobbed off the nearest canyon cliff.
4
And holy dogshit, how could I forget bilge such as ‘Just The Two of Us’ with Rodney from Only Fools… and more recently, that abomination with flouncing woofter-in-chief Ian McKellan living with his bumchum in some kind of bizarre elderly flatshare.
I swear I never watch ITV!!!!
4
Just the two of Us. That was something id forgotten until mentioned with Nicholas Lyndhurst associated. I used to watch Goodnight Sweetheart. I expect to crucified here butvit was actually my favourite Nicholas Lyndhurst comedy. I didnt really find Only Fools and Horse very funny when it was on. Every episode seemed the same.
3
Even when Alf Garnett went over to ITV it went shite… And in the early 80s I wanted to attack that robot cunt Metal Mickey with an axe…. And the worst comedy of all time was made by ITV… The disgusting Girls On Top… Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Tracy Ullman and Ruby Wax all in one show?!! Not even the Nazis had torture devices that effective….
Always thought Kenny Everett was better on Thames though than he was on the BBC… I still remember the ‘Bee Gee Pills’ sketch…. The ladies of Hot Gossip flouncing around in their duds and leather gear helped too…
7
ITV’s new comedy lineup –
Period Pains.
Femmy & Nism.
The ‘Men are pricks’ comedy show.
On the raggedy.
3
I’ve pretty much given up on TV comedy altogether. Only Curb Your Enthusiasm retains my interest. I prefer to laugh at SJW’s getting ‘owned’ on youtube.
3
The Scottish comedy Still Game is brilliant
2
Always found the BBC3 series “Touch me, I’m Karen Taylor” very funny. Haven’t seen her since, but was a great series.
