Posted January 21, 200718 yr :puke2: :huh: Personally i was watching this last night and i found it as funny as ShÃt and i thought that he isn't even funny. but apparently Jean cristoff novelli (or whqatever his name is, sorry if i got it wrong :() was wetting himself if he said a word he was laughing his head off, once he breathed and laughed (joke:p) I really don't find it funny and a waste of Saturday night :angry: It could be replaced with Parkinson (far better :yahoo:)
January 21, 200718 yr He's not funny at all. ITV1's Saturday line up is usually pretty good, he wrecks it though. :arrr:
January 21, 200718 yr His stand-up shows and his old radio show are excellent. He certainly isn't a chat show host though...
February 1, 200718 yr Author i thought they peplayed 2 eaxctly the same episidodes the other week. He is so c**p, no guests will come on and had to replay it :puke2: to you Mr. Murray
February 1, 200718 yr I saw a bit of this, he's not chat show host that's for sure but then I knew that as soon as I heard about this show! :lol: Shame the ITV bosses didn't! He is a brilliant stand-up though.
February 1, 200718 yr I think I've only ever watched it once. It's watchable if nothing else is on, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.
February 2, 200718 yr Author He is so rubbish why anyone likes him i duno, i like some poepel when they are pissed but not him :P :D
February 3, 200718 yr I don't know why people are saying he isn't funny. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he's not funny!
February 3, 200718 yr Looking at some of the posts in this thread, then the joke is on you for failing to realise that he is supposed to be ironic & rubbish. Al Murray the pub landlord is suppose to be lampooning right-wing extremism (his act may be seen as a fresh take on the Alf Garnett idea) that can be read on a daily basis in The Sun, the Dail Mail & the Express, while his TV chat show is deliberately bad (a fresh take on Alan Partridge's Knowing Me, Knowing You show meets moronic late Friday night shows from the 1990s hosted by right-wing "entertainers" Jim Davidson & Garry Bushell). It is a testament to his skill as a comedian that he is the object of satire and ultimately the Pub Landlord is a deliberately pathetic creature. The comedian behind the character is a highly intelligent individual who studied Philosophy & History at Oxford University. He was also the presenter of Al Murray's Road to Berlin on the Discovery Channel. This was a very serious series about the last phase of World War II, taking him from the beaches of Normandy, through Arnhem and up the Rhine, ending in Berlin. In the series he drove around in a restored Willys Jeep, and interviewed survivors from both sides of the war. In the episode about operation Market Garden he parachuted, together with veterans, from a plane, to commemorate the battle.
