Quintessential Comedy | Devoted to British Comedy

I was just on the phone to the hospital to arrange the date for my lobotomy when I stumbled across a Guardian blog article on the grossly overrated and unfunny Gavin and Stacey (henceforth known as “Mong & Bint”)

In it, the insightful Gareth McLean (I’m being sarcastic - but at least he’s had the temerity to say “stop - this is getting silly”) ranks up the competition between Pulling and Mong & Bint. Frankly I’ve been left cold by Pulling on a few occasions - it’s rarely moved me to write - but I’m not asking for 2 hours of my life back from that comedy.

But what was really wonderful was to see the responses to McLean’s article. I estimate that there are upwards of 50 comments on the page, almost all in agreement, incuding comments such as:

“Thank God somebody else out there is making this point!”

“What on earth is Rob Brydon doing wasting his time and talent in this?”

“Who’s letting all these actors write sitcoms anyway? ”

“And your man who plays Gavin just has the one look which he just uses throughout the show.”

So if you’re anti Mong & Bint, get over to the Guardian and leave your own thoughts.
