And the prize for the most crap 'comedy' catchphrase ever goes to... Posted Thu May 4 18:23:44 BST 2000 by Steven

And the prize for the most crap 'comedy' catchphrase goes to Danny Baker for the amazing work he does as Chris Evan's behind the scenes monkey boy on TFI Friday.
You really thought Chris came up with all those hilarious and original jokes and off the cuff ad-libs himself?? No it was Danny Bakers amazing writing techniques that went on behind the scenes that basically makes Chris the top comedy star he is today! Danny Baker has had a long distinguished career, with classic shows such as 'Pets win Prizes', 'Win Lose or Draw' and 'The Daz Commercials'?! They were live the Daz adverts you know? They said recorded live in the bottom corner, which could also mean they were only live when they were recorded but probably doesnt, that would be lying, even though when they were broadcast at 11pm at night they were still in broad daylight in some scummy council estate in Peckham. Who can forget the cheery balding twat? Who can forget all the amazing things hes done for TFI Friday? Remember Will? Wasnt THAT FUNNY?! He was called Will and would just sit there grinning inanely while everyone pointed at him saying "Wiiiiill!" in a funny voice.. hilarious. And what about the U2 biiiiig heeead dancers eh? Werent they hilarious! Another product of Danny Bakers amazing work im sure. But Will obviously got too big for his boots, and left TFI Friday to persue a career in public lavatory sanitisation, cue the even more funny and talented Werthers!!
And this is where Danny Baker wins his prize for the most crap catchphrase ever, he came up with the classic HI-LARIOUS catchphrase for Werthers... Werthers holds a tray with a kettle and some teacups on it and says "Anymore tea in that pot Mrs. Borneo?". Oh my god its so outrageously surreal and hilarious i think my incontinence just got the better of my Y-fronts. I can just imagine Danny Baker writing that in the TFI Friday staff room with baked beans running down his chin, and Chris Evans sucking on his foot. Its so outrageously crap, pretentiously trying oh so hard to be surreal and funny and Chris Evans would point out Werthers to the camera and Werthers would say this catchphrase and everyone in the studio *swollows vomit back down* would cheer and clap! Werthers appears as incredible as it seems to be someone with even less talent than Will, at least Will sat there and kept quiet and looked like in his blank grinning expression that deep down inside he knew he was basically a prostitute or more accuratley a prop. Werthers seems to think he's hilarious, but of course he's brimming with talent compared to Danny Baker, who is also brimming with talent compared to Chris Evans. Ill never forget the episode of TWMRNJ when they were talking about Chris Evans selling his own frozen bodily fluids to the happy faces of children from an ice cream truck and Will just standing there saying "I dunno Chris!" and thinking of the money.. classic.
Hand Danny his feces shaped comedy award please, then maybe he will retire!

Wow - I'm sure that Ginger Productions and Channel 4 will be absolutely relieved that someone's still watching TFI. Quite honestly, I don't think I've seen it in about three years - and I'll continue to not watch it while Simpsons reruns continue. (Even though newer ones would be nice.)

What was it that Dale Winton said at the end of Studentmarket Sweep?Some bollox about beep beep rhyming with the word Sweep. That was fairly crap because you could see the slight shame behind Dales eyes as he uttered this vebal squit.

Dale says:
And remember, next time you're in the supermarket, and you hear the beep,
Think of the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweep.

Must have taken weeks to write, something that rhymed with Sweep.

How about:
And remember, next time you see a battery hen's chick go "cheep-cheep",
You could be buying it's rotting carcass on Supermarket Sweep.

I was disgusted by the previous message:

"You could be buying it's rotting carcass on Supermarket Sweep"

should be:

"You could be buying its rotting carcass on Supermarket Sweep"

NO POSSESSIVE APOSTROPHE!
