I don't think Merton is bored with doing the show. His blank, confused expression is just him rather than not wanting to be there, I think. He's been like it for years, so he'd have left by now if he felt like that.

Did anyone watch that Merton in India show?

Not much of it, but I watched most of ...In China which I thought was alright if completely regular.

Yeah, I might have meant China come to think of it.

:oops:

He did a serires in each.
And although he's the first to admit that he is a reluctant traveller, I thought it worked quite well with him playing the unassuming, bumbling, classic englishman abroad. He even wore a dodgy hat to complete the image.

Has he ever told a joke that doesn't involve the phrase 'black people'?

So true

He always throws in several very well pronounced 'Ummms'

Merton's been acting like that since the days of Angus Deayton. It's just his sense of humour.

He smiles afterwards as if to say; 'yeah I know it was rubbish but I'm here to say these surreal things'. If another guest on the other team makes a joke the camera will cut to Merton who is always non-plussed and looking in the other direction/blankly into the crowd, which always gives me the impression he doesn't like them or approve of them joining in the fun of it. The odd joke from the guest host that isn't as popular with the crowd in terms of big laughs will be met with a single loud ha ha from Merton several seconds after it's told. Which gives me the impression that he isn't following the current conversation and isn't into it.

If that all seems a bit analytical, basically what i mean is I can enjoy everyone else enjoying themselves but because he appears to not want to be there, it gives it a snide atmosphere. It's weird because he seems to always be like that on there. In that India travel problem, he was miserable and unwilling, and on Room 101, brilliant, attentive, and funny.

So, I am now watching an episode of the show from 1990.

That Reginald whatshisname is always hilarious though.

Anddd...2003. I think it's just a recent thing, like, last few years-recent.

It was a running gag that Paul keeps winning week in week out even though he seems to know nothing about the news while Ian runs a paper.

Did anyone see the one a couple of weeks ago where the audience in front of the camera at the end of the show did there usual retard 'look at me mum', but one guy was a mega dick and actually stood up to put his coat on :fp:

Merton ripped it out of him and then on the second take stood up and started running around the studio, very funny :lol:

Mandleson's little melodic sailing comment was a much better bit to make fun of.

BORING BORING BORING, even my boy Brooker can't save this show

PostRe: HIGNFY by **Cuttooth** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 2:33 am

You know it's in trouble when half the jokes these days are basically outtakes.

It's so tired and can't hold my attention, Merton is a cock and I like Hislop but both if them have just been saying the same thing over and over for 15, 20 odd years? It needs guns, explosions and tits.

It needs sweets and go-karts.
