>kills QI

BBC is so full of retard fart sniffing PC idiots.
>>
>>219928406
BBC PC culture killed the panel show and also their country.

It was inevitable since Fry didn't want to host that show anymore. Plus, it's been on since 2003. It had a good run

>>219928406
>QI
I thought it was pronounced IQ. Any who, I'm a burger and I've just recently discovered 8 out of 10 cats does count down, as well as Would I Lie to you. Of course, I haven't gotten to modern episodes yet as I'm still watching bits from pre covid. Are there any other similar types of British comedy panel shows to look for?

>Are there any other similar types of British comedy panel shows to look for?
Classic Never Mind the Buzzcocks is great but you will be losing out on some cultural context. Plenty of segments will still be funny though.
If you like Bob Mortimer on WiLTY then you could check out Shooting Stars which leans into a lot of absurdity
Big Fat Quiz of the Year if you get the right panels
Alternatively - fuck off the panel shows, fire up Only Connect and pound off to Victoria Coren

I suspect you're right, but I've been having fun with these and would like to find more. You bongs have been hiding Bob Mortimer from us all these years. Just look at that mug, the guy is a comedy genius.

I don't hate her, but she does show just how good Stephen Fry is
>>
>>219934040
Pretty much
>>
>>219934040
The UK used to have a really strong comedic scene and they could shuffle them around to create watchable content pretty cheap. It made more sense when the people on those panels were brilliant. It really got watered down when they enforced DEI quotas and the situation is so awkward now, no one knows how to reverse it.
>>

>>219934040
cheap to produce
>>
>>219934040
They’re very cheap, can be used to fill quotas easily, can be used as a vector for trading favours and can be used to push “talent” into the public eye.
The format makes it very easy for a minority of veterans to do the heavy lifting for people who have absolutely no place being there.
>>
>>219934040
>Why are panel shows so popular in BBC land?

A certain percentage of broadcast TV has to be locally produced, and panel shows are the cheapest way of filling that time.

What did we think of Last One Laughing UK?
>>
>>219928406
They put in a regulation that all panel shows had to have at least one woman and one brownoid on at all times or something.
QI was fine under Fry when it was mixed, all boys, or even the all girls episondes. When they really started enforcing this shit was at the end of Fry's run and this dumb bitch's turn had nothing but unfunny women and equally unfunny dei's.

No idea
It seemed like it was completely unexpected though.
He was supposedly a bit of a drinker, unless that was just a bit of a character exaggeration or something.

Regardless, Sean would regularly prod at Jimmy being some sort of biblical embodiment of evil.
The Rachel moment I'm thinking of was ep 1 s9 I think? Maybe 2, it's in the beginning of one of the episodes, notably Susie Dent looks terribly grim in the background in whichever ep it was,

I'll find it and post her

the british have to pay for their tv and but they have a really high quality of show in general. they need to be inclusive like who fucking cares if the whole town in midsomer murders isn't white anymore. if you walk around in the street everyone isn't white like it was weird when tv didn't actually reflect reality and its kind of toxic to want it to only have people like you on it

>>
>>219948036
She was a good panel member but a weaker host.
>>
>>219949643
I think she's done fine, the whole show had already been declining for years before she took over. If the bbc were determined to pick a woman as host after fry left they could have picked a lot worse.
>>
>>219949643
I watched some clips of her QI on youtube and honestly it felt like the panel just got worse? When the panelists delivered she seemed ok. Ultimately Locke, Vegas and Mortimer were the only comedians that could carry a show on their own.
>>
>>219950510
The decline was already significant when you couldn't get any legendary panels thanks to DEI mandates BBC had, Sandy had to suffer through ever worsening guidelines and a list of panelists.
>>
>>219951182

>watched all original episodes as they aired
>dropped it after Fry left because it wasn't the same
>recently started rewatching the whole series from series A and kept going till the most recent episodes
here is my verdict: Sandi is OK. sometimes she could get overly feminist which is annoying, but the real reason QI sucks now is because of the guests they invite to the panel. it used to be comedians, and now it's just quota-approved left wing friendly retards who have nothing interesting to say
>>
I think it's funny
My only experience with UK game shows is watching the Big Fat Quiz, and very rapidly decreases in humor as the years go by and the panel becomes less white and literal retarded people start being on the show

he's such a dickhead now. he comes across like ricky gervais, just seems like such a smug twat. doing bits about saudi arabia and that you can't criticize him if you've ever driven a car. he should just admit he did it because he likes money, which is obvious the amount of trash shows he's done, instead of acting morally superior. he's also doing decade old 4chan memes about "it's not gay if the balls touch" in his standup, like how gervais did an attack helicopter bit like a decade after it got stale.

WILTY is probably the best the bongs have.
Old QI is great and I didnt mind the dyke host but I only saw a few episodes with her.
With Sean Lock gone dont expect much, the people made these shows good and they cant easily be swapped with niggers, fags, and women and still function like theyve tried.

Joey is the name given to spastics in the UK, after Joey Decan. The impression of him that schoolchildren in Britain would do of his appearance on the children's show Blue Peter became so offensive to spastics that you weren't even able to call them spastics anymore, and the main charity for them literally had to change its name from the Spastic Society to SCOPE.

In the 70s Blue Peter did an article on a man called Joey Decan who was a spastic and had just had a book published by him and his carer about his life, because few people knew about spastics at the time. It was meant to be a heartwarming story of triumph against adversity, but to most of the kids watching it was fucking hilarious because Joey was speaking like the archetypal retard of legend and making involuntary movements akin to Dr Strangelove trying to stifle a Nazi salute. So obviously everyone would be doing impressions of it in the playground the next day, especially when one of their fellow pupils did something dumb, like miss an easy goal in football or accidentally call the teacher mum.

Thing is though, kids were still doing this when I was at school in the 90s, even though by then most kids didn't know where it had come from. Its kind of like when people do a Jimmy Chin or Jimmy Reckon, despite nobody knowing who Jimmy Hill was these days.

She does seriously suck.
QI always had that percentage of "This is just utter horseshit", but since Thundercunt here took over, that proportion has ballooned out of all control.

It's painful to watch now.

Jonathan Creek is well known. I believe he's also a standup but no, it's just those two really. QI alone makes him famous.

That's what's turned me off the modern show the most, more than just the panelists sucking. They waste like 10 minutes of every episode getting bogged down in sex jokes instead of talking about interesting stuff.
