I will NEVER again claim... (1 Viewer)

That X Factor, Big Brother, dancing with the stars is low brow, dumbed down tv. Last night I had the misfortune of catching the first ten mins of a prog called ' Rude Tube'. This programme is a series of clips that demonstrate the lengths and deep dark depths people from all over the World will go to in performing stunts and dares for putting on you tube. Some are jaw droppingly dangerous such as snowboarding over a moving train, some are eye watering such as the guy removing his tattoo with what looked like a mini angle grinder and some quite simply make you question humanity and the meaning of life. The stunt that finally made me move the Cat and fetch the remote control to free myself from this televisual lobotomy involved a young man from the states I believe who was at some sort of large outdoor event. He went into the makeshift mens toilets got down on his hands and knees and drank straight from the overflowing mens urinal. I am not, as I'm sure you know, often lost for words, but it took me some considerable time to form any sort of coherent sound by way of a response . I simply could not believe what my eyes were telling me. My question is formed of two points... WHY?????? and WHO ON GODS GOOD EARTH thought this was good tv?!!!!!!!!!{eek3}

Sounds like a good show mate (Not) hope it doesn't find its way here..............{eek3}{eek3}

 

[Scott]

It's CHEAP TV. The producers only have to gather someone else's "home videos."

 

[Grognard]

As long as people will watch these, this will produce more (remember the goal is for you to watch the commercials; the content quality (a.k.a. show) doesn't matter as long it keeps people glued to their tv set). Just stop watching :rolleyes2:

My Dear Wife watches the multiple batchelors, batchelorettes, babies, and little people shows.
Ugly people looking for houses.
Brides looking for ugly dresses.
Creeps and criminals dancing.


At least the "cake boss" is life affirming. Good thing there is Netflix and an extra TV in the house.

Don't forget the ghost shows. Kids, animals, ghost hunters. They all see ghosts.

Oh Rob:

You English are so proper. Who hasnt gotten drunk and mistaken a urinal for a drinking fountain? Yeah dude we have shows that do nothing but make fun of Utube videos like Tosh.0 and what not. Not sure if they are viewed over there on that side of the lake.

The world is a strange place Rob. Even stranger when you surf the web too much.

Keep It Silly

Chris dude ,When totally hoovered I've been chased by Policewomen, found myself in a tent in France
that was owned by perfect strangers and some distance from the tent I was meant to be in and been confronted by irate Chinese waiters after a liason with the waitress in the restaurant Kitchen , but I've yet to drink from ' The fountain of many donors ' as it were, I guess we Brits just need to chill. Kind of puts our warm beer into perspective though mate, although as I'm a spirit drinker the beer and the urinal sound as appealing as each other!!^&grin:wink2:

Cheers dude

Luckily my wife doesn't watch them. I actually work with a local "ghost buster." Sad that two management types here including an engineer wear "power bracelets" but that's another subject.

Proud to say that besides being suckered into watching the second half of the first season of 'Survivor' (which cured me), I have never watched another reality/dance/singing/shore show of any sort, nor will I ever. I will stick to my stupid police shows and sit/coms, thank you. -- Al

I once tried watching Big Brother and I thought I may well expire out of sheer boredom.

[Mitch]

Can't watch them at all. I just have zero interest in any of the reality programmes, dancing shows, or those chat shows where you spill out all your problems and everyone applauds.

Don't like soaps either.... Rather be put in for a bout of water boarding!!!!

Mind, I suppose many don't like Top Gear, HIGNFY and the like. but, I will take them over someone pretending to eat a bug when, we know the catering van is about fifteen feet away or, watching some has been sleeping or,dancing like a....stop !!!

Deadliest catch...........

Deadliest catch...........

That should be filmed in Gloucester where I am. The Perfect Storm event happened to fishermen from here.

I tried watching 19 and Counting with My Dear Wife. I was banned from the room for making too many comments.

I love HIGNFY, very funny , as is Would I lie to you. I must confess I do enjoy 'Strictly come Dancing' but thats mainly because of Ola and Flavia:wink2::wink2: As for the Jungle programme I think some of them have gone full circle in their evolutionary cycle and found themselves back in the Jungle to be honest. And why on gods earth would I want to spend a precious second of the life I have left to me watching some Chef or has been pop star arguing about who is going to clean the toilet that day. It defies reason or rational explanation.

No doubt an experience shared across the world!

Based on Rob's statement below which highlights some very strange situations - all seeming to involve alcohol, Rob wishes to amend his statement to "I've yet to KNOWINGLY drink from The fountain of many donors " {sm2} And we wish to state that Rob's comment "Yet To" in no way implies there are plans to do so in the future {sm3}{sm4}{sm4}

Rob should remember that the UK Treefroggers have taken a vow of silence over his more extreme extrovert acts at the London shows. Even we have certain standards. let it rest with his sequin obsession. Trooper

Alan, firstly my sequin obsession is ' strictly' confined to when they are adorning various areas upon
Ola Jordon and secondly when we have in our ranks Simon, James and Jeff the idea of standards of
behaviour is foolish wimsy! They are drunken braggards who terrorise barmaids and threaten law and order, I constantly have to comfort and very much support these poor ladies in their distress. Thanks
Lads!!!:wink2:
