Is it just me? Blush Not especially funny or clever. Is it unbritish to not love them?

Very aware 'unbritish' is not a word Grin

It was all downhill after Let's Get ready to Rumble.

I certainly don't think someone who's got a drink driving conviction should be held up as the God of Lighy Entertainment.

They are shit, I find it difficult to respect anyone that likes them.

WormYourHonour · 23/09/2021 20:59

£60 million quid they're worth... Each..
Why? 😂

I love them! I just really enjoy watching their shows, especially Saturday night take away.

BiscuitLover09876 · 23/09/2021 21:00

They always win that NTA award (or at least used to). It's all so strange!

I still know the theme song to Biker Grove so there's that.

MissyB1 · 23/09/2021 21:01

Cringeworthy is the word I would use. I can’t watch them.
Having said that, I don’t begrudge them their success.

userxx · 23/09/2021 21:01

They make my teeth itch. I just don't get the hype, it's like they've been stuck in a time warp for 20 + years.

IWanderedLonely · 23/09/2021 21:01

Never watch them. Couldn't tell you which is which.

Gilead · 23/09/2021 21:43

I don’t understand the love either, they get turned over the second they appear on my telly.

RainbowBriteUk · 23/09/2021 21:45

I agree. They grate on me. Their jokes and banter is dire. I reckon Dec is a lovely person though but still...

Mariell · 23/09/2021 21:46

About as funny and entertaining as watching my house burn down.

FurrySlipperBoots · 23/09/2021 21:52

I always liked them but since the drink driving episode I'm disgusted Ant has been allowed to carry on as if nothing happened. He shouldn't have been on the screen again IMO.

Fetchthevet · 23/09/2021 21:54

I've never got them either. The Saturday evening show is just embarrassing.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 23/09/2021 21:55

I agree. I don’t hate them but I don’t watch any light entertainment so I don’t really give a shit. They make absolutely no difference to my life.

I don’t like them at all but I can see why others would. They are both naturals in front of the camera

the80sweregreat · 23/09/2021 22:09

I've never been a fan of theirs, but they always win lots of awards so they are popular with some people. It is a mystery

marmaladehound · 23/09/2021 22:28

Yeah have never understood their appeal either. Not sure what I am missing?

CRIKEY. That's a surprise. I'm with the pp who said their careers peaked with Let's Get Ready to Rhumble.

It doesn't do to overthink them.

fantasmasgoria1 · 23/09/2021 22:35

I don't think they are particularly talented either op. I turn the television over if they Come on.

alligatorpeardrop · 23/09/2021 22:47

They've always made me laugh I'm afraid! Smile

Endlesscleaning · 23/09/2021 22:54

Always be PJ and Duncan to me (but agree they should have stayed at Bikergrove).
