After an excellent night's ranting in the pub with Gareth about how television comedy seems to be aspiring to the lowest common denominator, I wombled home and completely forgot to watch 'Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle', thus proving myself to be as much a part of the problem as those who watch, and give every evidence of genuinely enjoying that '2 Pints of Lager' thing.
Or that would have been the case, if the BBC iPlayer thing wasn't the shining example of brilliance that it is. Go thusly, o readers of my blog, and watch Episode One for it is good.
UPDATE: of course, those living outside the UK will just have to imagine it, sorry. Ooh, did anyone notice a mister Christopher Morris as script editor? Interesting.
FOR NOT REAL REASON (other than I saw the video this is taking the piss out of the other day, thought 'someone should really take this piss out of this', then found out someone had done just that some time ago):
I'M ON A BOAT (not terribly safe for work)

Gah, non-UK viewers can't!
Great stuff. Loved the rambling rap singers monologue. Do I win a bonus point for spotting the legendary Simon Munnery in one of the office scenes?
I think he got a "two jokes stolen from" in the credit as well. And it's lovely seeing Kevin Eldon back doing silly sketches on the telly again.
Maybe this is a betterer link for young Gareth.
Hmm, seem to have mended the first one now. I think.
Yes indeed - as you were, sorry about that.
Stewart Lee was very good. I especially liked the idea that someone (living now) who'd read all the books written in their lifetime would be stupider than someone who'd never read any books.
One of my daughter's friends sent her a link to that video, prefixed with the words 'don't let your folks watch this' - a warning which she duly read out to me...
Teenagers. Will they never learn?!
Re.: Stewart Lee for foreigners

Rap singers is my new favourite phrase.
For some reason I think that music video is hilarious. May have something to do with it being 7:20 in the morning. What was the original one it's mocking?
The original is called 'I'm So Paid', by some fellow calling himself Akon.
