Be Excellent To Each Other

To the extent where I want to phone up and get them to pay me for having watched it.

I've mentioned before that I love spin offs and cross overs. Less in practise and more in concept. Astute BEEXians will remember me going on about if I was in charge of the BBC I would have every show exist in the same universe so cross overs would happen all the time.

I was wrong.

Why? Because the FUCKJOBS responsible for The Triforce of Tremendous Twattery Tailored Towards BBC THREE have produced the ultimate in cross over awfulness.

The cast of Grown Ups (poor man's coupling) and the cast of Coming of Age (poor man's skins) visit the cast of Two Pints of Larger and a Packet of Crisps to celebrate Red Nose day.

I genuinely believe that it is the worst piece of television produced of all time. No hyperbole.

The same people are behind all three shows and I think they think this is their equivalent of the big Dr Who cross over final. The sent of smugness is unavoidable.

I mean I find it hard to criticise people doing something FA CHARIDY - but I propse to you that this is a war crime.

Here's the URL - I really recommend you watch it. Not because 'it's so bad it's good' not because it's 'postmodern' but just because it is truly, truly terrible that you should see it to calibrate your understanding of how bad things can be. For some reason I feel knowing that something this bad exists is important.

Watch it. Join me in suffering.

Well, I laughed a fair bit.
I suspect I need a more mature sense of humour.

The song was rubbish, though (except for the biscuit rap, obv),

I don't. Cos it ain't FA CHARIDDY.

Well I thought that was quite good considering Three Pints jumped the shark long ago.

Yeah, shortly after the opening credits on S01E01. And don't you mean 'Two Pints'?

No, thanks.

Yeah, I caught about 5 minutes of this while eating my dinner that night. My reaction was complete and utter dumbfounded, jaw open-wide disbelief at how incredibly terrible it was. All the jokes I heard sounded like the product of 15 year old school-boy conversations. Fucking atrocious.

Yeah but I can't think in terms of less than three.

Also I love all three shows even though they are pointless humour based on smut and innuendo. I also love Lily Allen.

I quite like 2 Pints. It grew on me.

Like a cock wart?

except the one with the kids. I've not seen that.

Get back in your box!!

I'll confess, this one time only, that Lily Allen is my secret guilty crush. I'm not saying I'd want the whole relationship bit with her, the dinner, flowers and conversation, I think she'd drive me mad but, well... I would. Would. Definitely.

Two Pints though? For shame!

I like two pints. There, I've said it. But the laughter track on that - thing - is terrible. Terrible.

ARGHH ARRRGGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

*backs away*

People here "quite liked it"?

FUCK. ME.

This just in: Different people find different things funny!

Yeah sure.

But when you catch them laughing at the Holocaust your bound to, I dunno, worry a little.

Nurse! He's out of bed again!

you clearly haven't met the belgian children's tv empire that is studio 100

I enjoy the amount of "Plop"s used in their title there Rick.

Thought that was quite a progressive thing to do.

I'm with you, mate.

I only saw about a minute, and heard the song from the next room, but what I saw was quite possibly the second worst thing in the world. I once saw one of the 'other' shows featured in it, and it was the one thing worse than the crossover. It wasn't just terrible, it was terrible AND INACCURATE!!!!! Having a geek celebrate that he just completed level 14 on Final Fantasy... for shame! The previous minute had literally been two idiots saying the word 'shag' over and over.

Quite!

Glad you agree.

That's... disturbing. Dimrill's is a bit odd, too.

Quiet you. I has given to charidee and stuff.

Doesn't Comic Relief (is it not called that any more?) have one of the worst conversion rates their donations going, or have I made it up? I seem to recall that only something like 35% of donations went to the actual end 'user', as it were.

Of course. I forgot that giving to charidee makes you above criticism. See also, Two Pints.

Whew, bringing this thread back on-topic was like turning a barge in a canal.

I thought they abolished Comic Relief a few years ago and brought in Sport Relief instead.

Complicated. Well, whatever it's called.

87p of the pond I've just given will go straight to helping and shit. According to the blurb while you pay.

Well, that's much better then. Hurrah for them.

I want my 13p back then.

I though sport and comic relief was the same thing. One being sport one being comedy...

as long as someone's getting relief, I'm happy.

I don't know where to begin with this.

well you did seem confused that comic relief was no more

Thats a good point, maybe The Two Pints Special was filmed for Sports Relief. That would explain why it didn't have any jokes.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I DID!!?

No I wasn't. I said that they'd got rid of Comic Relief and replaced it with Sport Relief. Where is the confusion?

but they haven't

Right, so the years they did Sport Relief, where was Comic Relief then? On holiday?

maybe they got rid of Sport Relief and replaced it with comic relief. Then, in a few years they'll get rid of sport relief and replace it with comic relief. Then, they'll get rid of comic relief and replace it with sport relief.

Or maybe they rotate them. Y'know?

No sports relief and comic relief are the same thing. Ie they support the same causes.

Comic relief is every two years. I think sports relief is the alternate year.

Don't forget about the charity set up by the deaf sign language school.

Is there a centre for kids who don't read good?

Made me smile

Or maybe it was for Rape Culture Relief.

Get sponsored to burn books FA CHARIDY - 10p per book!
Deface a painting FA CHARIDY - £60 for drawing a moustache on the mona lisa!
Burn down a historic building and claim on the insurance FA CHARIDY!

Then watch Rape Culture Relief live this friday, where James Corden will be pushin Baldric down a trench in order to smash some old pots or some shit that he was looking at. Ben Elton will be having tea with That Thatcher and the Racist Carol one too. The presenters of T4 will be hosting and so be continuing to pretend that filling the airwaves with really shit shows is 'ironic' and the cast of Two Pints will be trying to destroy the very concept of the sitcom.

I like Wullie's furry tunnel.

Right, good. We got there in the end.
