Hilarious clip show
Posted Mon Oct 23 21:06:04 BST 2000 by Justin
It's on Channel 4, BBC2 and Sky 1 all at the same time on Saturday 6th November 2000: "Top 100 Hilarious Old Things"! Just look at this old rubbish:0)
1 That Renault advert that came out in 1996, oh you know the one.
2 Ribena, but when it was being made 20 years ago! Haaaaa!
3 Maurice Ravel (the producers try and remix "Tzigane" in a funny way. How horrified he would have been.)
4 Tatty copy of "Brighton Rock". (Why look!, chuckles Jamie Theakston, 'it looks really old'.)
5 A bit of old film of Tony Hart, that hasn't even got any ironic music on top of it.
6 A tape someone's dad made of Steely Dan songs in 1974. (The logo on the tape looks really odd, and therefore funny.)
7 Pair of child's trousers that a grown man can't get into...because they're really old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 Coronation Street (it's miles better now, because it's now!)
9 Clip of The Ladykillers (the pundits chuckle about how it's so naive, and black and white, and there isn't even a cameo appearance from someone like The Wurzels, and certainly not a single joke about mistaking spunk for gel!!!!)
10 The murder of Sharon Tate ("Tragedy + Time = Comedy" twats someone who can't even remember that it was Woody Allen who said it, and pretends they thought it up instead)11 1995, when Radio 1 believed that Andrew Collins and Stuart Maconie's brand of mediocre pub chat would be worth broadcasting. The twats.
etc.
Join Jamie Theakston, and pundits like Stuart Maconie, that fashion bloke whose name I've already forgotten, a few chancing comics who are hoping for Jupitus-like crossover recognition after this, and Phill Jupitus. (There was going to be some Noam Chomsky, Raymond Williams or Dennis Potter clips, but what do they know? They haven't got any vehicle with Ginger Productions, after all!!!)
The grisly death of Sharon Tate!

I'm with you 100% on the sentiments behind this diatribe against the recent trend towards lazy archival programming, but I should point out that The Ladykillers was made in colour.

Drat. Louis got there before me about *The Ladykillers* being in colour.
Does this mean that we'll have an eight-rate performer saying about The Ladykillers:
"Oh, yeah, there was those blokes from those Clouseau films, and him from Star Wars".
Or am I over-estimating their intelligence?

I forgot to mention that, as I clearly don't know what I'm talking about half the time, I shall be making that brain-damaged gaffe once again on C4 this Saturday in Top Ten: 1977. Please feel free to throw rancid food at me whenever you see me in the street.

That's what I thought when I got the name of the author of "Mrs Slocombe's Pussy" wrong in the thread of the same name. Like me, you'll learn to live with the shame - eventually.
