Phil Mitchell’s recent foray into the exciting realms of crack cocaine seem to have taken its toll on him. Look at him, he’s so far beyond parody now, this clip seems almost plausible. It may well be, that given the fact that script writers have to constantly update their outlandishness, added to Phil’s increasing erratic nature, the BBC have combined one tyrannical East End thug, with a classic psychopath.
I welcome this suggestion with an open mind. I’ll certainly start tuning in if Phil continues with these ways. Maybe he’s just really angry with all the exciting TV work his brother Grant is getting. ‘Grant on Gangs’, ‘Grant on Terrorists’ etc. Ah, not to worry Phil, stick to what you know.

Chris Morris has always had a talent for ruffling the feathers of anyone he comes across for his inimitable TV and radio shows. Here, we have a classic interview with Jerry Springer. Using false sychophancy and clever wordplay he can once again manouevre himself into a situation of authority whereby he can well and truly take the piss out of the poor old presenter.
Not only does he list bizarre and increasingly ridiculous possible titles for Springer’s…bizarre and ridiculous show, but he also gets him a little angry and gulls him into believing made-up diseases. The atmospheric music over the top just heightens the whole experience and adds a little of Morris’s well-known editing mischief. This is utterly unmatched comedy.

Who knew there were so many different ways to snap your fingers ey? The first guy sets the tone with an almost angry passion for the ’snap diva’. And who’s the guy in the tie? He seems to be like a celebrity in that realm, interviewed for his age-old knowledge of the finger click.
The demonsatration is interesting as well. Calm, collected and thought-out…like Capoeira but standing up. Timing is excellent, precision elegant. But come on, what is all this…some kind of cult? Who actually does this? And the voiceover is even more disturbing; it’s as if it is trying to inculcate you into the strange world the video is trying to promote. 5 minutes watching this stuff and you’ll only be able to communicate via the medium of clicking your fingers. I think I’lll stick to speech.

You know what they say…it’s a funny old game. And this is testament to that – down right hilarious. Not only does he let a ball trickle past him at about 1MPH, but he has the stupidity to celebrate this event. Look at him, punching his chest like a triumphant Gorilla.
The first rule of goalkeeping is never take your eye off the ball. Perhaps this chap skipped the first lesson at ‘Keeper school – he knows how to save things, but the more basic ideas are a bit hazy. Anyway, the one saving grace is that the stand behind him looks pretty empty. Tis a pity, though, that Youtube is quite popular these days.

Some offices go on team-building weekends to the Lakes where you have to go camping in a tent with Mike from accounts who’s the most boring blob of flesh in the world. Others go for post-work drinks to unwind.
Here we have an example of another stress-busting technique. And see what happens when you try and change things? People kick off. Trade unions aren’t there for fun, you know, workers have rights!

We have a snapshot of the future here. First, humans will become obsolete in the workplace as robots materialize as a far cheaper, more efficient option. Machines don’t need a fag break or have to go on facebook. They don’t bicker and whine. It just makes sense.
Then, creative things will be taken over. You won’t get writers or musicians or poets – lyrics and prose will be created from a meticulous word generating machine and pumped methodically from speakers. So. You better get used to this. Listen up and enjoy, cos the Bowies and the Pete Dohertys of this world are to destined to be replaced by nuts and bolts.

Since it’s been touted as some of the best drama ever made, I guess The Wire is now trying to conquer the comedy market. Probably due to low funds or laziness, however, producers have clearly resorted to regurgitating old scenes, with a cheap laughter track added.
You’d think with all that success they’d be able to re-shoot the whole series and make it into a sitcom. This is what happens in a recession – unemployment and poor television. I think I’ll stick to the original.

No matter how bad a day or life you’re having, this video is sure to turn things around. Like a puppy, or someone tripping up in front of you, it’s nature’s visual Prozac. Try as you might, you simply cannnot help but be tickled by the sight of dozens of babies pulling the ’sour lemon face’.
I love how some of them think they have it covered, like, “What, sour? This is fine. This isn’t sour, this is…’ Only for them to suddenly recoil in a juddering fit. It’s a knee-jerk reaction that no-one can tame. Hang on, what’s that, did I hear someone say “Child cruelty”? Nonsense. They don’t HAVE to eat the fruit, do they?
