It was obvious that was the best moment of the series, so why was Davina telling Kate when she interviewed her that the viewers favourite moment of the whole sereis was when she was trying to put her trousers on drunk and falling over. ”
Was it that funny?
Was it staged?
Actually, maybe it was natural because all the other allegedly funny jonyjate moments were actually repaeted ad nauseam.
The one legged dance was interesting the first time - but the spontenaity wore thin by the 100th time.
Remembering - and possible explaining why I like a certain type of humour - Alex's moment that won (and nearly all his other memorable moments) were conducted ONCE each and once only. That is what gives the impression of NOT acting most.
Catch-phrases (including rehearsed skits like the dance) are a trick used by performers to endear themselves to the audience. It is a "shared experience", being in on the in joke.
Comedians like Paul Merton who I find much funnier than that, tend to keep you guessing: almost never repeating the same material ...
Sigh
Time to spntasniously malaprop I think
