I paused the TV and checked the QR code before he explained it and got a bit worried about the lawnmower sale. I got even more jittery when the code came up with the girl's house when I carried on watching the episode. I was like WTF? I didn't get mine or anyone's house!! I got charged for a lawnmower!!
It was only when I did the "click here" thing and got "charged" for a second mower that I started laughing, then thankfully Dave explained it. Bloody sod.
Very good show last night I thought, one of my favourites
Whole thing was basically a wind up though! I was thinking the QR code could have somehow read some data of your sim card in order to display your house from Google Maps, seemed possible to me

I checked it and then thought he must have been in on it when it went to the obviously fake ad page.
I didn't go through the next bit to get my 99p cookies
I was thinking though that it is possible. On my phone i've turned off the geolocation and other location apps and also don't have facebook but I could imagine some people having all their personal details inputted into sites or apps and a QR code could possibly take that info and redirect to personal info/pics etc.
got to say im a little lost with this episode, all the jokes are ones he made up.
The QR code he invinted, but yeah its not beyond the realms of possiblity, the average smart phone will contain your address somewhere, and you can then put that address in google maps, and bamm pictures of your house.
More to the point, Dave (Gorman not the channel) spends the entire last segment laughing at the websites he himself made up, that isnt really comedy in my book.

yes make up jokes about real life, not jokes about something they created
Its a bit like someone complaining that there are always cars coming against them at traffic lights, but at the end of complaining about it, them saying that they ignore the traffic lights and go on red all the time.
Neil Sean's said he has had homophobic abuse DM'd to him, despite the 32 people he follows are only his friends, gay rights accounts, his employers and Joan Rivers
I was a bit disappointed that the QR code wasn't real. I was hoping that it would be genuine and the comedy would come from a rant from Dave about the invasion of privacy (or something like that) of the company doing it.
When the woman saw her house, I imagined an estate agent being behind it and after seeing your house, you'd be redirected to images of houses that might be of interest.
I thought the QR thing was genius, I fell for it till the second lawnmower,. Both my wife and I were laughing out loud throughout. Looking forward to seeing him live next month. Hopefully it's not just material seen on this series though.

Were you also disappointed that the powerball wasnt really a smartie as well?
Good episode tonight Think he missed a trick by not calling himself 'Capuccino Two Sugars' in the Metro section
Though it does make me wonder if I should try the Rush Hour Crush thing just to see what would happen (I dont travel into London very often)
going to give it another shot tonight, TBH I thought it first aired on Wednesday, back to back with another Dave orginal Crackanory, also Wednesday is a quiet night for me, so both those shows fill the time.

I thought this was hysterical...sadly I very nearly fell for it
