Do you prefer Mark Lamarr or Simon Amstell?

at all these people saying Simon is 'lovely', want to take him home etc...

He is vicious! (V. funny though)

I still can't make up my mind, I think they are both as good as each other really.

Vicious lol, he is reading an autocue. He just gets away with it better than Mark because he is sweet.
Though wasn't him that made Britney cry?? on popworld.

He is vicious off-autocue...

But does get very precisely to the point. Did you see him with Amy Winehouse?

I just cannot see him as sweet, sorry!

Ha, yes, when he was telling her 'this is no longer a quiz show, it is an intervention'
Probably one of my favourite buzzcocks I think.

Yes, precisely the line I was thinking of!

He is spot-on, you have to say.

Definitely not auto-cued though, and not sweet... concerned, maybe?

I kind of like people who get to the point
THough if you ever meet one in rl who knows instinctively how to go for the jugular and gets away with it by being attractive, oh boy, it is not nice
I imagine he is hard work in rl

I didnt actually like her til that show.
Simon was great though, wonderful infact. I miss Noel Fielding but I can't do without bill bailey if only we could have three team captains!

Noel has grown on me hugely since being on Buzzcocks

Hard work and high-maintenance, I'd say. I think to be the sort of person that has no fear in going for the jugular, one must possess bucket-loads of arrogance, too.

Ever since I saw noel with russell brand on the big fat quiz of the year last year I have loved him. I'm not too keen on the mighty boosh but as a personality I really like him.

I do like Mark Lamarr but he had clearly got really fed up with it, cross and irritated by the end. Like a schoolkid who had been kept in for detention or something.

Amstell has grown on me - I like the way he gets away with saying such outrageous things because he looks so cherubic.

Bill Bailey is lovely, hugely talented. My claim to fame is that I used to work with him years and years ago, in fringe theatre. He always stole the show. Quite rightly!

Oh, I saw Lamarr in Edinburgh once, he actually kept some irritating sozzled hecklers in detention during the interval. I thought he was joking but when we came back from the bar he was still ranting at them. Enjoyed that as they had been at the same shows as us all day and ruined every one.
