The TnT Show

I can't really blame this show on channel 4 if I'm honest. Whoever is in charge of giving the OK to new shows wouldn't have thought of saying no when another edgy topical entertainment show landed on his/her desk. Lord knows they've worked in the past with such AMAZING quality programmes as The Friday Night Project and all the others hosted by Charlotte Church, that poncey prat off of Absolute Radio or any other easily forgettable typecast cock. Yes channel 4 must have jumped for joy in fact, when finding two young comedians bursting with obviously original ideas for their own show. After all, these shows all do have one thing in common, and that's their originality!

The show itself is the typical formatted late night talk show. Theres the opening shit jokes about current affairs, then one of the hosts will say something a bit risque making the lemming like audience let out their OOOOOOH noise. Later there will be a sketch about something crap with someone in costume. After, we'll have a segment of one of the hosts interviewing someone who's recently been on another crap show, or talking to various celebrities. In this case you get both. What a bonus! Then there will be the news segment, where the hosts will yet again show how original they are by mocking a news programme in which they'll rattle on about current affairs, but mocking them at the same time! Those wacky guys! As well as all this there will be studio shots of the hosts talking bollocks and introducing the segments, which fills the gaps in between said segments. Think of these bits as the crap you get stuck in your teeth after eating, but in this case, think of the teeth also as crap.

Without already knowing exactly how it's going to run, the show itself is pretty grim. The two hosts resemble a brother and sister trying to impress their relatives on Christmas by reciting jokes from crackers. The brother one, Jack something, enforces this by starting the show with one of the most abysmal stand up routines I've ever seen. Stumbling in and out of predictable jokes, it seems as though hes just been given a list of instructions on how to please an audience written by a box of grapes. Literally he is awful. At and times his camp voice made him sound like Michael McIntyre, something I doubt he was aiming for as Michael McIntyre is also a giant cock. Though in that respect is suppose if he was aiming to duplicate him he pulled it off.
The woman is just as bad. It appears as if she wants to pull off deadpan, but just ends up looking like Ann Widdecombe trying to find the funny side in killing babies. At times, she seems to order the male one around like a brainless lap-dog, bringing him on to do all manner of shit.

There is a point in the show were the woman asks what she has done with her life. A very valid question, one I could answer for myself being that I've just wasted the last half-hour of mine. This really is one of the un-funniest comedy programmes I have seen in a while. So bad in fact that I found the stand-up comedian who appears in the adverts for 3 funnier than everything in the show. You know him, he pops up before and after the ad breaks supporting the shows with his painfully awful jokes. If you're anything like me then he makes the adverts even more frustrating. however while watching TnT, I found him a comfortable relief from the dribbling horse shit I was watching.
I can see why this show or any other show of it's kind will never win any great awards and I can understand how hard it must be to make original content. But here it appears a struggle and some effort were completely avoided in aid of filling some time. I'm not saying they were aiming for a BAFTA because they obviously weren't, but it would be nice to see something which I hadn't already seen before. Now you can get pedantic and say 'Oh but Joe you haven't seen it before because it's a new show, you're a twat for saying that blah blah dhfkdjgnfdkjfd' and so on, but really I have. Most people will tell you TV channels will only put something on that they know will work. It's like a person who makes paper aeroplanes deciding one day that they won't make them out of paper, instead they'll make it from a bowling ball. It doesn't happen, they all stick with paper. Occasionally you'll get the odd channel deciding to make their plane from card, and great maybe it will work, but most will stick with paper because they know it works. That's probably as far as I can take that analogy without loosing my point and undoubtedly your interest. I've seen it before and it was shit then.
