Kinda OT: Glasvegas on the buzzcocks

Recommended Posts

I was watching never mind the buzzcocks the other week and the singer from glasvegas was on. The presenter started asking him about this song - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSdQxKaBfU

 

I aint watched never mind the buzzcocks after that night. I don't want to anymore. The presenter is just a F**kin prat. If you where presenting a show would you pick away at some one and kinda....be a pest if they told you it was none of your buisness??

Okay I got my hair cut! Its now this short *shows how short using hand*

 

Lets get down to business gentlemen! I want that bagel now!...Don't forget the lettuce!

Karl, they know what they're in for when they go on the show. almost all of them enjoy the jokes - having jokes at your expense at that kind of show at least indicates you have something worth knocking.

 

I wish they were taking the p**** out of my music on the show - at least that'd been I was high-profile.

 

I think the presenter is very funny personally, he mocks himself as much or more than the guests.

 

I didn't see that episode though so maybe he was out of order.

Some may say he aint out of order. I did say to my mum and she found it funny. Some of my brothers mates, a few of my mates and I just didnt seem to find it funny. Mocking there music fair enough but going personal to the life I think is usually a bit to far.

That was funny. I find Simon Amstell very funny. I used to watch Popworld when he was on and he used to make subtly sarcastic comments about and often to the really underwhelming pop artists of the day - especially boy bands.

 

Simon quotes:

 

 

# Simon: Cynicism is just some sort of endless sadness about life. I think I'm more realistic than cynical. There are things that are sh*t in life, and pointing them out is important. Well, not important, because everything's nonsense really.

 

# Simon: (Asked if he misses his career in the radio field) I miss not having to care if I look respectable.

 

# Simon: (About quitting from Popworld) We knew exactly how it worked and we thought people will start to see our tricks. It's the same with Buzzcocks. I'll stop doing it when I know how to do it properly.

 

 

# Simon: What I realised during Popworld was that I wasn't cool. Miquita was cool, her aunt was Neneh Cherry, mine was married to an accountant. I realised I could be funny about not being cool.

 

# Simon: Discussing personal things in front of an audience creates a release; people recognise something from their own lives. Humour is the optimism, the release. There's a smuttiness in talking about personal things in print.

 

# Simon: (About his insulting jokes for the guests on Nevermind the Buzzcocks): It's about my love of television, the silliness of showbiz - not "how can I stick the knife in?"

 

The episode in question is on Youtube but I don't have time to watch the whole thing.
