With the revolution of alternative comedy, you'd think that this sordid
collection of a mainstream master-race would be extinct, by now. Afterall, we
are in the 21st century now. Mankind should've evolved enough, by now, not to
celebrate Butterflies, with a documentary on the BBC, written by one of the
dickheads duped by comedy hero, Chris Morris. But, we'll never learn, will we!
Unless these corperate slimeballs are accidently get caught up in a nasty car
accident, all of us bored, imaginative people are going to have our souls
destroyed by all the Fred Barrons of the world. When The Royle Family came
along, crushing the middle class, rose tinted image of family life, I
kind of had a premenition that this would be the future for family sitcoms. God!

a sitcom, written by some idiotic trendies, about a trendy, middle class family.
Now if My Family, doesn't make you thrash around, violently vommiting blood,
Oh mercy! My illness got worse, when the lovely, hilarious, wacky
"genius", won best newcomer at the British Comedy Awards. Luckily, his dignity
was chainsawed by Saint Johny Vegas. The toffee-nosed void, who looks no
stranger to a fox hunt, tried to be funny by saying, and I cringe: "Thanks for
the BBC, for paying me", after Vegas said to the toff "You'll never be me!".
After that, I felt better.
Things start to become clear: Zoe Wannamaker should just go back to
voice-over work, there should be more Early Doors and less Keeping up
Appearences, imaginative comedians and writers should mark the end of this
joyful occasion of ITV giving up on comedy production, by burning Nigel
Lythgoe and maybe as one human race, we can dream and explore the universe,
without comedy charachters who are rich!
