Accents seem to be one of those PC and/or cringe moments.

I remember when Nik Rabinowitz did his Desmond Tutu and as first the panel and crowd seemed nervous but then I think they remembered he was South African and so it was ok.


I didn't get the same impression of Bremner doing an impersonation of Nelson Mandela.


So I think it takes your brain a couple of words/sentences to work out if this is a decent impression or a piss take etc.



Remember also that Dara has done accents in the past. He jumped onto Flanagan's Romanian with his 'Count' impression.

That's true but The Count is a character, I think he was impresonating the character as much as the accent (One peanut butter and jelly sandwich, ah ah ah! ) so it was OK
When Nik Rabinowitz did the Xhosa African commentary I didnt know what to think at first but he seemed to speak it pretty well for someone taking the piss out of it
Somehow its different when Micky did the Chinese or African teacher accents and Dara told him to tone it down or stop

I dont' really get whats wrong with doing an accent, never been properly explained to me.

nothing wrong with it, if its funny, maybe that was the issue with flanagan hes just not funny at anything he does

Well that's subjective obviously. His huge tours suggest a hell of a lot of people find him funny.

They seem to have a habit of splitting the series nowadays. After tonight's episode, there isn't another episode until 5th September when the rest of the series continues (and finishes October time).

I think this is a dire show and further proof that little boys never grow up.

they have female comedians on it as well.

Great end to the series

First half of the series you mean.

I haven't seen them. Maybe it's a better show on those occasions.

I watched Mock the Week last night and later on a repeat of 8 Out of 10 Cats and Rob Beckett was on both and on both he told the same 'Rupert' joke.

That was a stormer of a show - real nailed it and not much gladitorial stuff either - everyone had space to make gags. The "Scenes we'd like to see" was one of the best I've heard.

Thought Rob Beckett was very good!

I think it's something to do with the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, which runs from the end of July until late August.

A lot of the 'comedians' take part in this and would not be available for filming.

Mock the Week... Again is on tonight.

What is your favorite "Scenes We'd Like to See" across all series?

I liked the one where it was 'Unlikely scenes from a disaster movie' and Hugh Dennis said "You go, and take the the kids with you. Go to your mother's; you'll be safe there. I'll stay here, and shag the nanny." Another favourite was when Greg Davies was on and he kept doing his impersonations of Peter Andre throughout the episode.

greg davies deleted scenes from a fantasy film "alright john"

probably not my all time favourite but its one that sticks out

I particularly liked this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuOVLcw0PDU

"I've had all your mums..." - the delivery of that one makes it hilarious.

It's back on 5th September.

Was it ever really aggressive?

Anyway, can't wait til tomorrow night.

There was one now fomer (thankfully) panellist who favoured using aggression as a substitute for humour.

Read the article. He describes what is stated in the headline.
