Was all of the League of Gentlemen Christmas special as crap as the last bit? Posted Wed Jan 3 08:42:15 GMT 2001 by 'Stocky'

I only caught the last story of the LoG special, but it seemed pretty crap to me. They seemed to prove a SOTCAA's point by taking the character Papa Lazarou out of context, simply because a load of magazines said it was 'dark', but it simply wasn't funny.
(only just got back so couldn't post this earlier, sorry)

There's a mild conversation about all this on the SOTCAA forum.

The 'Last night's League of Gentleman, especially the ending' thread.

No. I like the fact that I don't have to read all their pretentious rubbish when I'm here. Anyway Joe is staying right here aren't you? <Darling>

Actually I pretty much agreed with their choice of programmes I just thought a lot of their reasoning came down to the fact they thought they were funnier.
Also I don't think they are achieving much by making fun of other people, imitation is a very low form of humour. I'm not saying I'm any funnier, I'm saying I don't like their point of view. This is odd since individually I like a lot of the corpses' other work.

I hate typing.

Don't panic - I had a merry bunch of adventures trying to do a netsearch for a certain Boothby song title. It led me to certain RHC-patronised guestbooks and (by a process of elimination) to a certain little homepage from about four years ago... (Awwww - cute.)

And, I live in your sock drawer.
