that reality TV shows like Big Brother get all the big ratings and budgets, and genuinely original and funny shows like fonejacker barely get noticed these days.

It saddens me that crap comedy like Fonejacker does better than genuinely original and funny shows like Garth Marenghi's Darkplace these days.

Really? Worst film you ever saw? Well, my next one will be better. Hello? Hello?

What cyber-turnip said. A prank phonecall is hardly enough to carry one sketch, let alone an entire episode, let alone TWO entire series! Such is the near collapse of modern comedy I guess.

But it's FUNNY! have you seen how many people LOVE this show?

I agree a prank call is not funny.
But the action and reactions of those recieving the call is.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.

i loved it at first, but now its getting boring tbh...

most of the sketches are lame, but i still watch it cos usually theres a couple good ones in each episode...

This is considered original? It's much like Game for a Laugh, only with a much smaller budget - prank TV

maybe if they tried putting it on Channel 4 more often it would get better ratings!

I agree i hate Big Brother i liked it for about three series but after that it just got old. I think Fonejacker is underrated to be honist.
