To not be interested In David Walliams and Matt Lucas new offering?

[PassingStranger]

The BBC had Matt Lucas on TV this morning. He said him and Walliams are getting together again.

Nada was trying to guess what it might be, but he said he couldn't say?
Does anyone really care?

It’ll need to be different to their older offerings. The world view has changed a lot since then and a lot of their characters and skits will not go down well if repeated today!

they get away with their old stuff because it’s old and we watch it with a lens of this was made then not now.

its not just them, a lot of older comedic and tv and musical etc works are the same

I think the opposite. People might find a comedy show unafraid to be offensive as refreshing.

It wasn't particularly my thing, but I've heard a lot of people complaining that comedy feels dead now, far too sanitised.

If you find it offensive, don't watch it.

I'm torn. I can't bear DW, but I'm very fond of Matt Lucas.

Matt Lucas would find most of us offensive as we believe in biology. Walliams is a bit creepy? Perhaps there's a market for that though.

I put those two in the same category as Mrs Brown's Boys.
"Shouldn't be on the BBC"

This, you said it before I could.

It's ok, you don't need to be interested.

I think they are a couple of plonkas.
Into the Gender woo (surprisingly after Little Britain) and both creep me out.

neither are my cup of tea tbh and agree with @jeaux90 they "both creep me out"!!

The people complaining about comedy feeling dead and sanitised are the kind of people who'll hear a new rock band on the radio once and say rock and roll is dead. What they actually mean is 'mainstream television prefers not to feature comedians who make punching down jokes anymore' those comedians still exist, and comedians who didn't make those kinds of jokes existed back in the days when television featured a lot of punching down comedy, it's just that the balance has now swapped over. It's like complaining I don't hear hair metal on the radio and then saying music is dead because of it - it's just not as popular now as it once was, I can easily go and find hair metal bands online or in person!

Neither of them are funny and Matt Lucas was absolutely dreadful as a presenter on Bake Off so whatever it is I won't be watching it.

Walliams is creepy as.
Lucas I used to like, but no longer.
Performative men who think they know better than women about everything

Is there anything laugh out loud on TV now? The only thing I ca find is Goggle Box

walliams and Lucas no thank you.

Comedy is very subjective though isn’t it. Panel shows are dated in my opinion and I’m very selective on stand up but I’ve enjoyed ami Wong, Amy Schumer and fern Brady.
I thought ‘Alma’s Not Normal’, ‘Daddy Issues’ and ‘Black Ops’ on the BBC were hilarious. Also, Fisk dick Turpin, beef, my lady Jane,

I think they have long since had their day.

I don’t find anything creepy about Matt Lucas. David Walliams, absolutely.

This

Those people that think comedy is dead and/or sanitised, can you give an example of this please? Can you give a specific joke, or an example of a specific skit that is from Little Britain (or something else) that that would be found offensive now but you don’t think it should be?

All of this.

Exactly this.
Little Britian was basically 5 sketches of repeated storylines show after show.
Hated every single character, but particularly loathed Walliams from the outset. 🤢

Little Britain was indeed repetitive and also misogynistic, trying to be edgy.
I watched about the first two programmes for the shock value, I guess, but quickly became put off and bored.
I imagine it will just be more of the same, only perhaps with added TRA stuff. If people liked it once, they will watch it all over again, after all, people like Mrs Brown's Boys and sundry other comedy that I think is shit.

Oh what fresh hell is this? Let's hope it goes the way of the Fawlty Towers reboot, and they see that some things are best left in the past.

Do we know when it's starting?

So I can avoid it/go out/watch something else instead

DW makes me feel physically unwell, no interest in watching anything with him in it

Oh but carrot cake carrot cake have ye any nuts was brilliant
