On the British Panel shows

These posts are going to be short, reminder that I've got a lot of catching up to do because of the laziness and everything. I just need to write goddamit, it's just words, fingers need to move and tap tap tap tap the keyboard, it's not like something I need to think or wonder about. Just churn out the crap. Barf out the words.

Just put in the words, just put in the words.

Back to regular programming.

Here's a good list of the British panel shows I've been watching.

The panel shows are like basically Whose Line Is it Anyway: they invite a group or 'panel' of comedians and make them complete various tasks or competitions. The points mostly don't matter, it's all about the conversation in the name of the competition. So goddamn funny, they are. It's all the same ten dozens comedians going around hosting and participating in each other's shows.

Taskmaster: Lovely show the first panel show I watched. Eight months ago. So goddamn funny. The eleventh season is starting in two weeks, so freakin' pumped for this.

Eight out of ten cats does countdown: It's a redo of the classic panel show, except there's a countdown. Every show has a couple of word problems and a math adding problem. Again, the 'problems' aren't themselves the bigdeal, it's the fact that people are pretending to care for the scored. Just watched clips here and there on youtube, should watch the full episodes.

Would I lie to you: David Mitchell and Lee Mack are two team captains whose teams are supposed to tell two lies and a truth and the opposite team guesses which of the stories is true. It's perfect for a certain kind of comedian who lives an exciting life, Bob Mortimer is amazing on this show. I should be watching more of this. Just watched clips here and there on youtube.
