Some People…

“Some People!” I say to myself sometimes, usually after someone has jostled me. Those people are total Dweebs. The ‘Some People’ people that is, not ’some’ people but people who by their abnormal social behaviour (perhaps they’re rude or have deliberately made something more difficult than it had to be) have been classed as their own group of ‘Some People’. Who are these ‘Some People’ and why are they such absolute nut bustin’ Nerds!?

Sometimes I put the word “Well…” in front of this phrase which makes me feel even more annoyed and make the ‘Some People’ probably feel even more ashamed (I hope :O)

New Future Wheel Sketch

There is also a new future wheel sketch which has tumbled it’s way onto the interweb. This one is apecial however as it is one of the sketches from our award winning Best Friends That Love Each Other.

As usual  if you enjoy it don’t hesitate to fumble for that ‘funny’ vote.

You can watch it by clicking here. It has also been updated on the Future Wheel area of this blog.

The Winners!

In an astonishing turn of events we managed to win the RTS awards! This has not only made me feel very warm inside and have an award to look at but it has also given us an entry into the National RTS awards to be held in the Spring of 2010. I am excited! It was a brilliant evening

RTS approaching…

The Royal Television Society award night is fast approaching and I’ve been trying to plan for the best by working on an acceptance speech. I feel like it should be incredibly witty and clever so that in the unbelievably amazing situation that we did win I would come across as a charismatic ‘cool-guy’ and then someone may give me some money. Whilst I was thinking I remembered that I would be wearing a tux, which means I should take influence from James Bond and say an absolutely belting one liner! What follows are some ideas for what to say as I approach the mic:

- “Well this certainly has been an ‘awarding’ experience”
- “I guess you could say that I’m ‘awardingly’ pleased”
- “What a great award!”

As you can see I’m focussing heavily on a pun to do with awards. It’s important to imagine me raising an eyebrow at the end of each one, otherwise it’d just sound stupid. If anyone has any suggestions for other one liners let them at me.

Some facts….

You’re more likely to die putting your trousers on in the morning than you are in an aeroplane crash. That sounds fantastic and really sticks it to all those neigh sayers with their ‘oh I’m scared of flying because it’s dangerous’ nonsense.

Except when you think about it I put trouser on pretty much every day. In fact saying ‘pretty much’ is severely under exaggerating the frequency with which I put on trousers, I can’t even remember a day in the past 5 years where I wasn’t wearing trousers (/shorts) at some point. So it makes sense that as I spend 99% of my days putting trousers on that the chances of an accident happening during that time are far higher than the <1% of time that I spend on or near and aeroplane.

In summary planes are dangerous, trousers are un-dangerous but win through a higher frequency of trouser related events.

New Sketch On-Line!

There is a new sketch from Future Wheel up on Funny or Die UK. Go and have a look at it, I can guarantee that you may or may not like it but that it will not exceed 2minutes 15seconds of your time.

Move it or Prove it!

It’s the name of another new game show I’ve come up with and I think I’ve outdone myself this time (ooh modest!!! Haha yeah well…)

There are 18 competitors! 4 of them have to be barristers for reasons which will become clearer later. They’ll probably have to do a mandatory couple of days watching a court case or something (we’ll set up a video diary for them so they can say things like “bloody mental today I don’t know how I’m going to do it later on Move it or Prove it”) . Then two of them become judges (again have to check out a real court for a bit) and 12 are defendants.

Now the point of the show is to try and [PROVE]  that you shouldn’t [MOVE] a certain item. Each defendant is allocated a different item which they then become the [OWNER] of. The item is then hurled into the centre of the court (a bicycle for example) and the Judge has to act really shocked and appalled that said item is clogging up their usually clutter free court room. Now each Barrister is allocated 3 defendants each and they have 10 minutes per defendant to construct a good defence as to why the defendant should not move the offending item from the middle of the court. They have to [PROVE] that they shouldn’t [MOVE] the item by presenting the case to the judge who delivers a verdict at the end.

I host the show and at the end I give out some points.

Insane News!!

For my final year at university my single camera group and I made a half hour sketch show pilot called Best Friends That Love Each Other for our final project. We bagged ourselves a first and it made our friends and family laugh so we felt it was a massive success. However we have just recently been informed that it has been nominated for an RTS (google it) student award in entertainment!

This is absolutely monumental news because it means, apart from anything else, that I get to go to an awards night and wear a tux  (tuxedo).  However it is also incredibly honouring that we have been nominated, I would never have imagined it. We were pleased enough that anyone found it funny but I am ecstatic that we’ve been considered good enough to get nominated.

Hoping that good things will come from this.

New Programme Idea: Pigtrocity!

It’s a panel show with celebrity contestants and what happens is a load of piglets are let loose in the centre of the stage with questions stapled to them. The object is for the contestants to grab a pig, rip off the question and declare “I am pig!” Then the other contestants have to chase them around and try and get the question off of them. After half an hour the gong is sounded and the person holding the question has to answer it.

They’ll probably be general knowledge or history questions I’ll nick a couple from Trivial Pursuit.

Alex’s Opinions: Shadeglasses

Sometimes people wear dark glasses in order to stop the sun from getting into their eyes and hurting them. Sure why the hell not!? But also they sometimes forget to take them off and then they have them on indoors and you have to say to them “Hey you’ve still got your shadeacles on!” And then they laugh and take them off. In even other times people keep them on intentionally because they are linked to being cool/awesome and increases how many girls kiss you.

These people are referred to as ‘Ice Eyes’ or ‘Ocular Hounds’ and are probably dangerous.

The same applies to scarves.
