I'm curious to know what people think of this.

The bloke who does it is a friend of a friend.

It started as a fanzine and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to TV......Let's see.

    Modern Toss seems like an apt title so far.......

    Hard to say from my point of view. .....It's just the fanzine with actors reading the words.

    The actors aren't helping it but the fanzine was very funny.

    Looks like cheaply produced student-made films strung together.

    Its sort of funny, but really, its one of those things that was incredibly funny in book/cartoon form, that theyve tried to exploit to get more money out of it. The modern toss cartoons and books were hillarious, but they just dont translate to tv, it doesnt work as well.

    Just finished watching this, I found it hillarious. I remember seeing a lot of the sketches a while ago on C4's animation showcase late at night. I thought the abusive passer-by was genius.

    I always find cockney swearing a hoot.

    Can't wait for next week

    Well that's how I feared it would go.

    I liked the farmer but the actors kind of sucked the soul out of the rest of it.

    Still, I'm sure John's happy with his big suitcase of cash. .....I'm happy for him, really. ....No really.

    I loved this when I saw the Comedy Lab one-off, and I think most of tonight's was much better (some of the more boring stuff was dropped). However, the Lab's "Customer services" sketch had much more mileage, and was much funnier, than the "emergency department" one today.

    Mr. Tourettes should probably be dropped, and Mr. Sneeze is funnier than the concept should be

    I quite enjoyed it. But I don't know why.

    The woman doing the dead-pan voice-overs was the best aspect of the programme. Is she one of Smack the Pony? Sounded similar.

    I liked the one off show last year and think the mags are funny but this was piss poor by comparison

    I just tuned in to see a little of it - it had French cartoon drawings cutting down a forest and building a massive sign saying C*NT and then Pete Doherty turned up and asked if they had and heroin and spewed pink stuff outta his limousine.

    I dont know why but it did make me laugh out loud - it was surreal - but for some reason really funny!:confused:

    This wasn't good:(

    Just felt like some student project where they have no real humour so need to try to use words like 'piss', and 'c*nt' to try to be controversial.

    There'll be some idiot in some student union bar going on about how 'genius' it is though.
