I HATE the corrosive face of Marcus Brigstock Posted Wed Aug 2 20:32:35 BST 2000 by kinder surprise

This man repulses me. Cockey, predictable comedian who is now the face of Cadbury's Chrunchie. He is rancid.

I just hate comedians who shame the rest with advertising. Noel Fielding, Ben Norris, even the adorable Ben Moore! Who is luring them into satanic acts?

Hang on. Marcus Brigstocke Cockney? He's actually quite well spoken. How can a face be corrosive?

"How can a face be corrosive?"

Rub it vigourously against some metalwork, and see the damage caused.

Is he any relation to Dominic Brigstocke at Talkback? It would certainly explain a few things if he was.


Subject: Re: I HATE the corrosive face of Marcus Brigstock [ Previous Message ]
Posted By kinder surprise on Thu Aug 3 15:59:11 BST 2000:

He may be well spoken but he still deserves some diction advice namely 'shut up'. And his face corrodes my happiness.

Yes stuart, he probably was conceived in a Talkback office.

Oh how predictable. what a predictable thing to infer.

Was Michael Keaton Buster's son?

I hardly think so Ellie, seeing as his real name's actually Michael Douglas. Anyway, Brigstocke isn't a very common name and comedy is notoriously incestuous, so I think I asked a fair question, actually.

It was a just question stuart. If Marcus Brigstocke isn't proof of some sort of incest I don't know who is.

This is the thing that mars this forum.More personal abuse towards a perfomer.
Doesnt any body want to celebrate a good comedian they saw last night?
When anyone does say they like someone that might just not be "cool" this year, theyre really tentative on this site.
"Erm I quite like Harry Hill,um Is that all right?"
Pathetic.

Yeah, well some people, such as Marcus Brigstocke, simply do not warrant any praise. As someone who is able to see many Edinburgh shows for free, I have been taking advantage of that position and seen various random things. Marcus B however, will not be one of them. God help anyone who PAYS to see him.
His show is called 'Get a Life' Is that ironic?

Now that's ironic. I was walking past the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh tonight and got handed a free ticket to see Marcus Brigstoke's 'Get A Life' (true).

His performance was better than his script. It passed the hour quite nicely (though if I was paying I'd probably have a different opinion). A lot of it seemed to be based on pleasing talent scouts rather than the audience ie he's almost saying "look, I just did a character with an Irish accent, now I'm playing a Canadian", which grates rather.

You have a very valid point. But I really do hate him.

Whatever one the supermarket's selling at the cheapest price. (In answer to the next question, "whichever supermarket's nearest my flat". Having just moved, I don't know the answer to that yet)

I feel repelled. Marcus 'here I am' Brigstocke managed to get a poxy 4 star review for his show. It was called 'origianl' because he made some references to Feng Shui.

I have a four star hatred for him and I don't care if he is credited for doing 'many accents'.

I saw that Crunchie advert for the first time this week.

It's enough to cure any chocoholics.

Still, I can understand the point about a corrosive face.

lol. It is very apparent isn't it?

And Ewar, no story other than having been exposed to Brigstocke's face without a protective barrier of inert air.

Huh? He actually came up to you and crushed his face against yours? You poor thing...have a cup of sweet tea and a digestive.
