What's the deal with Brits and panel shows?

probably just some sort of cancer evolved from "mid-upper class lad banter from uni".

>Brits and panel shows
Welcome to what passes as news on CNN, MSNBC and FOX in the USA.

>>80864356
I'm pretty sure it's some kind of scam by the BBC to keep British comedians employed.

I can't stand them myself. It's the typical British attempt to one up each other with their own perceived "cleverness", it's never in service of a joke just to satisfy their own ego and demonstrate that they went to Uni at St.Andrews, or Oxbridge or whatever other faggoty institution.

Inb4 muh precious banter

Brits aren't even the best at it, they were usurped by their own convicts. These panel shows only demonstrate how insecure Brits are about their own image.

>>80864356
they love the bantz. it's what drives them

>>80867224
Only if you're retarded.

I know most americans are retarded.

>>80867349
>These panel shows only demonstrate how insecure Brits are about their own image.
I've noticed this as well, brits seem desperate to prove they are their idealized image.

>>80864356

Emma Watson is hosting shows now?

What show is this?

They should do one but instead of Steven Fry or whoever they have sit in on these horrible things they use Spitting Image puppets. BBC just forward me the royalties.

>>80864356
The LaMarr era of Buzzcocks was god-tier

>>80864356

Government run television (ie. the BBC) operates on the condition a certain percentage of content is locally produced.

Live to tape panel shows are the cheapest way of producing local content.

>>80868148
what do you mean localled produced? like in the UK?

Cheap to make, so if you have a good enough idea and a good house comedian/host, it was almost always be good. It's sort of why the US has so many 'reality' shows - they're cheap to make, and if they have a good enough idea and an entertaining main cast, it almost always will get a lot of viewers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2z-AdzgKjY

They are cheap as shit and the comedians don't even have to write new jokes for it.

Brit panel and talk shows are 100% pure excuses for bants.

Which is why the questions are designed to get the guests to start chatting random shit instead of a straightforward answer.

We love banter. QI is probably the best example of this, but there are plenty of others.

The UK is separated into Regions, much like the USA has atates.

Each region not only has national news, weather and programmes they also have regional news, weather etc.

It's weird because we're such a small country, but it's possible to go 50 miles in any direction and get differing tv broadcasts.

MOST channels are the same no matter where you go, but regional tv programmes are part of the BBC's license fee mandate and so you can make a tv show specifically about Cornwall for example, only to be shown in Cornwall and the BBC would fund it.

>>80868845
QI is the best. Trivial facts, curious comedians, and bants? True comfort.

>>80867898

No it's not. At the most you can get a different BBC shouwing you different news for a half hour. Every single channel will show the same shit for everyone else.

America's tv is totally different and completely regional. New York alone has six channels only dedicated to showing things on New York, original content too. The UK has only one channel like that, London Live, and it's pure shit and still full of reruns.

>>80869725
As a Brit, "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" was acceptable.

It's a shame the guests on this are usually shit tier. The combination of Lee and David is usually fucking hilarious.

Shooting Stars wasn't a panel show. It was Vic and Bob sketches dressed up as one presumably because the BBC wouldn't fund another series.

Saying that, there's something amazing about watching some egotistical celebrity be exposed to Vic and Bob and ypu can clearly see that they have no idea whats going on as they sit bemused and unable to use their star power to command respect and they get insults they're too thick to understand thrown at them.

People seem to be ganging up on Morgan for the wrong reasons. I applaud him for doing it. Rizzle Kicks are about as funny as a knife in the ear and the entire show is a pathetic imitation of what it once was. Morgan is a long time guest and probably remembers when the show was ACTUALLY FUNNY. He probably thought that smashing a cup would inject some excitement. I remember when this happened and it was in the papers...pretty much everyone reacted the same: "Buzzcocks is still on the air?"

Lee is a working class northerner and david is upper middle class southerner so they play off each other really well.

Big Bang Theory is pretty famous for is sugar-charged audience. It's at the point now, like the later seasons of Friends, where the audience is so packed with superfans and psychotic retards who fall to pieces just from seeing the actors in person. If anything, editing TBBT to remove the laugh track proves that it's a live audience, as they just pause to stare at each other after lines.

Community is a lot better than Curb. Even Parks and Rec is better than some Curb.

The big point here is that your criticism is outdated. The use of the laugh track peaked in the 90s, with Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond, etc. The three camera sitcom was dominant on 90s television, and as three camera sitcoms are supposed to be filmed in front of a live camera audience, laugh tracks were all over TV. As the three camera sitcom declined in popularity, the laugh track went with it, and now the majority of shows are single camera, with a lot of the mockumentary style. Now that How I Met Your Mother is gone, it's really just down to Big Bang Theory as far as the three camera laugh track sitcom. It's not like we rebooted the Office with a laugh track.

Don't feed the wild animals, m8. If they stopped giving them jobs, they wouldn't have so many 4th and 5th tier comedians. In America, the only place for failed comedians to ply their trade on television are Comedy Central Roasts and VH1 "I Love the 90s" kind of shows, thus they get real jobs.

It was a format invented for radio: have a bunch of comedians play a parlour game in front of an audience for half an hour. Simple. Then when TV came around, they just did exactly the same thing except had better sets and wore better clothes. It's cheap and popular, great for filling up the schedules.

He knew damn well what he was doing.

Anyone notice how in American talk shows the host is always backhandedly mocking the guest and the guest is like a deer in the headlights.

Watch Kimmel with any guest and tell me the host and audience aren't sociopathic while they tear away at the guest?

This is like sadistic porn.

>>80864356
that's the exact kind of shit that I think killed buzzcocks
Fielding shouldn't have been given such a major role in the show, or they shouldn't have entertained his bullshit so much
fucking hell by the time it got to the mini sketches I was so pissed off
why couldn't they just try to emulate Lamarr, it'd be a disrespectful rip off but it'd be better than what we got
Amstell was a good fit

also panel shows are entertaining enough
I kind of see it as the 'new wave' of entertainment, all this youtube reviewer, gogglebox bullshit, trying to recreate the classic whole-family-watching-tv banter and goodtimes

>8 out of 10 cats (especially does countdown)
>mock the week w/ Frankie
>QI
>have I got news for you
>big fat quiz
>a league of their own
>would I lie to you
would I lie to you is my favourite concept for a panel show but they don't do so many episodes
I feel like it's one of the few that could (and should) be done to fucking death in the same way buzzcocks was, even if they had to switch up Mitchell and Mack with guest hosts it'd be fine

also it's interesting when there's an American guest on for the first time, you get a weird kind of view in to the basic difference in humour and communication styles
same for Brits on American tv, there's a definite difference in the rhythm or style of joke
love that shit

Would I Lie To You is the only consistently great one now. Seems Sean Lock and Jon Richardson have given up on vanilla 8 Out of 10 Cats, and I'm pretty tired of the Countdown shit now.

>>80886403
It's besides the point but how the fuck is '2 seasons and a battered horse' Community and 'diabetic from its own feel good' Parks and Rec are better than the consistently funny Curb. I know it's just your opinion but fucking hell.

I remember watching an impressionist (kinda looks like Adrian Brody) on mock the week and the only time he chipped in was when he did two maybe three impressions followed my awkward laughter from the panelists because they were just so out of place.

It's a shame because I love impressionists, I don't know why but they just crack me up, but this guy was so out of his element, you could tell he didn't have any comedic talent what so ever and he just threw in a few impressions to justify even being there.
