Mock the Week

Mock the week is amazinggg....its so entertaining that through a life that throws so much 'crap' at us this is the little thing that makes my week bearable!!! it never fails to deliver a smile on my lips and each comedian has their own flavour to add to the show making it a unique and superb show! Russell, Andy, Frankie and Hugh are the obvious faves but Gina and Ed are pretty cool too.

This is a show that i desperately want all on DVD and one that i never miss, keeps me smiling, lightens up my week and one i miss when it is between seasons!

The comedians don't get half the praise they should do for the entertainment they provide!!

so sit back, relax and laugh your freaking ass off!!! i certainly do!

Mock the week started back in 2005 and gave us a panel show that was more about the comedy and talent of great comedian's like Frankie Boyle and Russell Howard getting together and Mocking the weeks news instead of analysing it and depressing us they made us laugh and relax instead of worry. The show still continues today and if you see it on TV give it a watch a enjoy.

Personally, I find Mock the Week to be a very funny, clever show. Some of the comedians are funny all of the time, all of them are funny some of the time. Russel Howard and Frankie Boyle in particular are consistently brilliant. I live in the US and so don't get every one of the cultural references, but I still love the show. They're so talented that I don't even have to be familiar with the politician being lampooned to have a good laugh. The jokes range from insightful wit to sexual pun, but they always keep me laughing.

Be sure to look for the scenes which were not included during the regular season, they often consist of some of the best material of all.

Rarely do you find a topical series in the united kingdom that is this funny. initially there was "have i got news for you", a series with similar ideas yet less improvisation and with fewer "laugh out loud" gags.

This series is not a afraid to push the boundaries and explore taboos that might perhaps be overlooked in other programs - Rory Bremner's impersonations are outstanding and stand out above the rest, and the special guests add an extra ingredient that make this satirical series utterly compelling, i look forward to the next instalment even as the credits roll.

Recommended for those who are and are not interested in politics

This BBC panel game is mostly based on the week's events and media coverage. It's very funny most of the time.

It varies in quality, depending on who is taking part during that episode. Whilst most are good, there are some episodes which are mediocre.
