However much material he has, his endings are often 💩.
You can hear his tone of voice shift as he 'builds up' to what he thinks is going to be a brilliant denouement, leaving people rolling in the aisles, but his delivery is poor (he often repeats the punchline, rarely a good idea) and you can tell he is nervous because he lacks real conviction in the delivery. His really good stuff is usually disposed off somewhere at mid-point. Really odd how he seems to have such a poor feel for a good denouement given how long he has been doing this stuff. |

Does your constant bashing of Dave Gorman have a proper ending?
You should probably read things properly before you comment. Funnily enough, you can like someone and still provide constructive criticism and analysis of their work. |

I like Dave.
And he is a bit odd as a character and he can't do endings. |

I hadn't noticed it till you mentioned it. And once you had mentioned I still don't notice it.

I thought that he would feature a table tennis net/table at the end
![]() I liked the part about uneccesary notices and companies being "chatty"/friendly/weird to you with their packaging

Another really weak ending from Dave against this week.
I wonder if it's a weakness he is conscious of and works hard at or whether he just doesn't realise that his endings are often 💩. |

Why have a strong ending?
It's not a whodunnit mystery! If he had a strong ending then that implies there's a weaker build-up which is not what I want. I like it just the way it is, except I would scrap the Found Poem bit, don't like it at all, boring. |

I always did from when he used to do them on the radio. Besides, if you drop them, the shows won't have anything to name them after!

He made some good points about social "rules" on signs and packaging this week which I mostly agree with, but felt he was being unfairly prissy with the chap who swapped the salt/pepper shakers around. They're his to do with as he pleases, who cares?

Who in their right mind puts salt and pepper in the 'wrong' receptacles; unless doing it as a practical joke?!!

The only bit that was off for me this week was the forcing of the cerials into the order. Its like how magicians get you to pick the right option for a trick but obviously not as slick as a magician would do it. He kept saying you have put them in this order but the audiance hadent he had.

And besides, everyone knows Coco the Monkey is much friendlier than a giant blimmin' Tiger!
![]() I have to be honest, I thought his clickbait/Alan Sugar explanation this week seemed to drag on for ages. |

Spot on. It was a feeble attempt really - and pretty pointless.
Also his Found Poem was rubbish this week. Starting to think he's running out of material.

I do think it was his weakest episode this week, some of his points seem to fizzle out for me
