In fact, I'm so enraged that i just saw the single from this on tv that i thought i'd post again.

So, the whole thing has been made to create another tony christie for Kay's buldging bank account.

Shame on you all who say you like it, shame on you kay for making it, and shame on me for watching it.

Both the other writers of Phoenix nights think he's a money grabbing unfunny twunt and that's why they didn't appear in 'max and paddy's hilarious you'll do for me adventure in garlicbreadsville'.

or to put it another way....

Good on you Peter, thank the lord for your face, your lovely face.... it was the most poignant television i have ever witnessed, i sat breathless as did my family (as you appeal to everyone) as you dressed up as a girl and did an impression of your mum, just like the one you did on your live dvd, genius.
I have never noticed that the x factor et al play on sob stories... and yes, they do sometimes have wacky acts on, kudos fatty.
If i had one criticism it would be that nobody dropped your immortal 'garlic bread' or 'cheesecake' lines.
Perhaps something we can look forward to in the 3 dvd's you plan on releasing of this each shot from a different angle 12.99 from woolworths.
You're the best Pete ever... Even better than Pete Sutcliffe as he only has one eye now and so is only half as good as he was.
In my eyes anyway Peter.... In my eyes....

Please Please Please do another tour, just 28-31 days a month for 3 or 4 years please pete, same old gags, we love 'em.

we bloody love 'em.

and we bloody love you.

A big pat on the back.

All the Best

Mum

P.S i could actually do with two bungallo's one for me and one for your bloated sense of self esteem.

See, when I see complaints for this show, it's never about the show. It's about 'garlic breadf'' which wasn't even anything to do with this show, and Peter Kay being fat, which is just sad that you complain about.

It wasn't as if the whole thing was Peter Kay as a fat girl dancing. Did you even watch it?

Am I the only person on IMDb to get 'jokes'?

I think half the people posting that they didn't like it didn't even watch it all - they probably just watched a bit or bits on youtube!

I thought it was excellent entertainment - it is very difficult to parody something that has become a parody of itself. I loved everything - from R Wayne's Earthsong performance (how can anyone on the X-Factor proper better that?), to the girls in the wheelchairs singing 'Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls' when they'd been crippled by a tandem jetski at Niagra Falls, through to Cat Deeley yelling *beep* shut up" to the audience.

Peter Kay got this just right. And as for people making comments about adding to Peter Kay's bank account ... I'd rather put money in Peter's pocket than in Simon Cowell's pocket (which I'm sure posters on here have no objection to).

And no you're not alone! Irony to most people on IMDb is something to press your shirties with!

Yes Kathy, you're right.

I don't get irony me. there's none of it in my post.

none at all.

can i ask what "(how can anyone on the X-Factor proper better that?)" actually means?

Sounds like something a man caught writing his name in feces might say.

and I agree, cripples are funny.

[–] Norma_Snockers 16 years ago

How can anyone the x-Factor proper better that? I'll have to explain as you're plainly challenged when it comes to comprehension.

Means (You are the only one to ask you've noticed) how can a genuine contestant on the X-Factor better R Wayne's rendition of Earthsong (not that it matters actually because the song is a pile of poo anyway). In fact - the only funnier performer I've seen of that song is Michael Jackson himself.

I think Peter's next charity single should be for the benefit of the 'Educationally Challenged' - then you'd know some of the profits would be going to you!

If i gets the money i will proper better myself and that.

Psssst, parody

[–] BethH24 15 years ago

I've seen an even funnier version of " earth song " on The x factor,when Onka Judge sang it !.

Even his name doesnt sound real,does it ?!

[–] angelsisms 15 years ago

Arghh so much sarcasm on one page...you must all be very proud that you can say a show is good when you really think its bad for comedic effect.

I personally dislked the show first time I watched it. I felt that it was basically an episode of the X factor or Britains got talent but more frantically produced so as to make it seem like a final where noone has seen the previous shows.

However I saw the repeat and actually quite enjoyed it. There were some intelligent digs and reality TV among the obvious bits.
I thought it was funny how Peter Waterman consistently said thats the greatest talent I've seen in 25 years or how R wayne repeats everything Cat Deeley says.
I like when the voiceover said "the phone lines are open, the lights are rigged" and it showed up on the screen as "the phone lines are rigged".
Foxy doing the whole simon cowell-esque "that wasn't good....it was great" consistently throughout the show was quite fun.
The whole grandma dying and pete waterman rushing in a car made me chuckle.
The wheelchair ladies were more of a testament to the cheap laughs we get out of the show.

I really think if you went into this expecting some full on scathing satire to burn a mark on reality shows forever then yes you were going to be dissapointed. The aim of this was really to give fans of the X factor and other reality TV shows a concentrated programme on all the things they love to see as well as highlight some of the absurdities we are all aware of.

Don't like it? You don't have to. It is a bit low to come on here and start shouting off "fatty" and saying Peter Kay has just sold out. If I'm honest I only find the guy funny in small doses and don't get his really high appeal but it is such an over-used insult when you see comedy from someone that you used to like and just say they sold out.
