"Is it how much I pay my cleaner... not to go to the police?"

Seriously, Mock the Week is quite possibly the most brilliant quiz show in the history of ever and you should all be watching. I have spent the afternoon watching all the really bad bits that the BBC wouldn't broadcast. If you watch the show, you can imagine just how bad these bits had to be. Of course, when I say bad, I mean absolutely brilliant... but even more offensive than usual.

Since I became somewhat obsessed with the show I have fallen slightly in love with Frankie Boyle and it's not just because I have a thing for Scottish boys in glasses and pinstriped suits. If you're unaware of the awesomeness that is Frankie Boyle you can see that here (yeah, you probably shouldn't click that if you're easily offended). Guys, he's so cool, there's even fandomsecrets about him.

Anyway, in honour of my new found love for him (and to cheer myself up because tickets have sold out to go and see him in my local theatre)... Here be a picspam from some of the Mock the Week - Too Hot For TV DVD extras. Not the greatest of quality, but, yeah... I ♥ HIM SO MUCH.

The only thing I know about Mock the Week is that John Oliver used to be on it before he came over here to be on The Daily Show. Is it something I should watch? Or will the jokes go over my American head?

They don't actually stick to topical stuff for very long and it soon turns into general comedy. It sort of reminds me of Whose Line in some ways, too, so I think you'd definitely appreciate it.

Oh, that does sound promising. I'll have to check it out! :)

Fuck yes, Frankie Boyle. He's so consistently awesome on that show that he must be some sort of Snarkrobot 5000. Also, I've found I can't stop saying "Nuts on the road!"

As long as it's said in a Scottish accent that's fine.

Nuts on the road, it is!

FRANKIE. I LOVE the little smile he gets when he knows he's said something WAAAAAY over the line. Which he does, like, a lot. BECAUSE HE IS FRANKIE. <3

YES, THIS. It's almost as good as when the whole audience and the rest of the panel start laughing before he's even reached the mic.

ETA: LOL, can't spell mic.

Where does one find said bits? LOL One of my friends irl posts so often about this show that I thought you were her for a minute LOL I think Frankie is funny, if a little arrogant (although I'm more than sure that's a foil). He was on the Charlotte Church show last week, fyi.

Ah, but that would involve watch the Charlotte Church show. :/
