Harry Hills TV Burp

[carlton23]

He took the `proverbial` out of `Pop Star to Opera Star` on Saturday evening which I thought was in extremely poor taste and would like to see if he could do better. He, being in show business should realise this. Until now I found him fairly amusing ,but no longer.

[andy-hughes]

The 'Can you do any better?' response to criticism is, and has always been meaningless.

In this instance, Harry Hill satirises current TV and he does it very well, as hi viewing figures and Bafta Award concur.

I fail to see why what he said was in poor taste. PSTOA is an entertinment show, and therfore fair game for Mr Hill's attention. To criticise, or in this case to gently lampoon, never makes any suggstion that the critic can do better - and Mr Hill would not suggest that he can sing at all. But no critic is suggesting that they have a superior talent for that on which they opine - so I am sorry to read that you are offended - but taste - like comedy - or singing, is a moveable feast. You will have to find something esle to watch instead.

I agree with every thing andy hughes has said, TV Burp is a lighthearted p!sstake of the weeks TV and nothing more

[mrs.chappie]

I love TV Burp. Unfortunately I nodded off and missed it this week. [:o(

[4getmenot]

Thats what TV burp is about so Harry Hill is the best at doing that So you liked him takiing the pee out of other programmes like emmerdale and eastenders but not when its something you like?

[Davethedog]

I cannot see what you took offence at. I am sure that not even Jimmy Osmond would have been upset.

I just want to know how healthy or not was the "Osmond tears" drink. :-)

[redcrx]

whats better............osmond tears or water.

only one way to find out.......................

[4getmenot]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!

[Davethedog]

Yep Andy's right but Redcrx & 4getmenot have the best answer. :-D

Well im going to agree with carlton, if only because I find Harry Hill to be one of the least funny people on TV at the moment and each time he pulls of his many 'funny' faces I have a compelling urge to smack it- really hard.

[4getmenot]

but carlton found him amusing for a while. You just dont like harry hill. carlton is just offended he took pee out of pop star to opera star

[cazzz1975]

surely that is double standards carlton, you cannot like his take on eastenders then dislike his take on pop star to opera star because you feel its in poor taste?, he treats each programme equally. you have to take it for what it is as a whole, a tongue in cheek look at the weeks telly.

[B00]

Stop being all sensible you too!

Carlton is saying that HH should be put in the stocks and pelted with rotton vegetables and I for one am advocating this.

(What do you mean he didn't say that? I'm pretending he did- ok?)

[B00]

you two*

[dothawkes31]

He himself is not funny, it is the way he uses the clips and we laugh at the clips because he (or his researchers) have noticed that out of context the particular clip can have other conotations or be mis interpreted or just appear stupid, and we laugh at that take on a programme we had previously taken seriously. His research team must watch alot of tele, but then again, he does usually choose the more popular shoiws that his audience can easily identify with,

[carlton23]

Thankyou 4getmenot, I`m glad you see my point as I am a fan of Harry normally, but being a opera lover and used to be a amateur singer in opera, I know how hard these celebs have to work to achieve a passable opera voice. It ain`t as easy as it looks. In this case he just touched a nerve.

[B00]

No it's no good Vibra, ive sat through this programme several times, as Mr Boo likes him (he's a weirdo too) and I just don't get him at all.

[snags]

Burp.

[redcrx]

B00, do you like youve been framed?

i couldnt stand TV Burp til he took over on YBF.
