Walliams Bitch Slaps Boy George on The Big Fat Quiz of The Year
Goggles
I was watching The Big Fat Quiz of the Year and it was fairly amusing.
David Walliams was on one team with Rob Brydon. Walliams was his usual
entertaining self, as were Russel Brand and Noel from The Mighty Boosh.
Throughout the show several celeb guests came on to ask questions
(either live in the studio or on video). At one point Boy George came
into the studio to ask a question. He smugly (as usual) sidled on and
said hello to everyone, then bitchily asked Walliams "How was Matt's
wedding?" to which Walliams retorted, in utter seriousness "All the
better that you weren't there".
Ouch. The description doesn't do it justice really. Boy George seemed
completely shell shocked by it and was decidedly un-smug by the time he
left (followed by some booing). Walliams should be knighted for such
valour, defending his friend and most importantly smacking down Boy
George who does nothing but whine about people more successful than
himself (i.e. everybody).
I know that Boy George had previously slagged off Matt Lucas, as he
slags off every gay person more talented that himself (i.e. every gay
person). Also, you may have gathered I can't stand Boy George for the
reasons already mentioned. The reason Elton John is forgiven for similar
behaviour is because he is (or was, depends who you ask) talented, and
that he has actually done stuff in the last 25 years, other than whine
about other gay people and bitch about everyone.
I would be very surprised if this doesn't cause a bit of a tabloid
furore or end up in some 101 greatest TV moments show. I do hope so.
Walliams, Little Britain may be looking a bit tired but that was a
belter. God bless yer!

Your actual point aside, that was probably the best show of the whole
year. I don't recall laughing that hard to anything. Perfect ending as
well.
Did anyone else spot who just happened to be the producer?

Funnily enough it was his wife I was referring to but having just

I missed the Steven Fry slap down, unfortunately. I usually watch QI as
well. Fry is one of those people who I really want to dislike because
he's so posh and clever and knows everything, but I just can't. He's too
likeable and talented, dammit. Also, Lucas comes across very well off
stage, unlike Boy George who comes across as a miserable bastard. Clary
I don't mind, though his endless double entendres get pretty tiresome.
He's been usurped by newer gay comedians that are much more imaginative,
but in his time he was not bad. Probably because there was no real
competition.

That's a fair point, unfortunately it didn't dawn on me that it was
probably recorded a while ago until ages after I posted. I never read
the tabloids so even if there was something about it I would've missed
it, looks like I have.

Your initial reaction is to hate people who are posh and are
intelligent? Do you know what an inferiority complex is?

I think it was where Julian Clary was recounting a story about farting
at a Royal Variety Performance(?) and accidentally 'following through'.
Stephen Fry chimed in with a comment along the lines of "getting a
little slack down there, are we?". To me it wasn't as bitchy as the Boy

Ah, I did actually see that. Yes, it was. I agree, it was certainly a
good put down, but seemed in fairly good humour. Whereas it was obvious
that Walliams was deadly serious. I can't really imagine Fry doing
anything like Walliams did.

I thought the one last year was so good that I kept the recording I'd
made of it at the time and still have it. I watched it again a few
months ago even though in theory all the 'topicality' of it had gone,
it was still as funny as I'd remembered it to be. Somehow I managed to
forget to watch this year's one, but I will watch it on E/M4 tonight,
and I'm glad that it sounds like it was as good this year too.
I have to say though, that when it comes to David Walliams and Boy
George, I'm not sure who I dislike the most.

Didnt see that 'slapping', but I wouldn't call it a slapping. It was
quite a smart whitty put down which can be interpreted several ways.
Walliams on the other hand, just directly went for BG. To the point
where there was a 'moment' where the audience and the panel were sort
of looking for the laugh and it needed the goff(sp?) dude to break the
ice. Walliams maintained a very straight face. BG didnt know where to
look. Bloody hillarious. What Im impressed about is the fact that it
wasnt cut.
Personally, I'd like to see those two do a celeb boxing thing. :)

That's not really true. There is loads of terrific TV at the moment, Big
Fat Quiz of the Year being one of them, but there are certain people in
this place who think it's big and clever to slag off every TV show.
It's important to treat their comments with a pinch of salt and enjoy what
you enjoy. For example, it's a long time since I've seen a funnier and
more professional piece of television than the first Vicar of Dibley Xmas
special and I can't wait for the second - now just wait for the naysayers
to call it 'shit', 'crap' and several other expletives...

Nope, I remember it well. I always thought when watching it: "That lad
will go a long way." Only this Xmas I found out that he went to
America recently and swam the channel, so it looks like I was right.
Although I've been to Australia, so technically I've been further.

You described it much better than me. I loved the fact that BG was being
snide and got it thrown back unexpectedly. Walliams could have taken the
easy way out and been diplomatic about it, but he stood his ground.
Superb. I'm sure Walliams would batter BG, unless BG sat on him or
something, the fat bastard.

That's what I was going to say. I think now there's just more of
everything. More crap, yes, but more good stuff as well. For example,
the amount of good British comedy on the TV at the moment is impressive.
I'm not sure why this came about, possibly to fill the new Freeview
channels.
I like Greenwing, which is brilliant, Tittybangbang which gets better
the more you watch it, Webb and Mitchell, Extras, Man to Man with Dean
Learner (brilliant and terribly underrated, much like Garth Marenghi's
Dark Place). There's loads more, I just can't remember them.
And then there's dramas like Torchwood, Dr. Who, The State Within etc.

Yes, I have to say that the vicar of dibley is funny and get's a bad
reputation. I suspect half of that is to do with people being vain, they
don't want to like something that might make them look uncool. The other
is that some people think to be funny it has to be edgy and clever.
There's room for everything, it's just that you can't expect one from
the other. And that reminded me of Jam and Jerusalem which I should have
added to my list.

This wikipedia article is a little bit inaccurate though. There was another
unbeatable videator called Aunt something or other, who always won the
puzzle games with ease. I suspected she was Theresa Maughan (T'zer - you
need to be between 30 and 40 to know who she is I suspect) in disguise. The
Executioner came second behind the undefeated Big Boy Barry in series 1
IIRC. It was on every day with Tuesdays and Thursday being reviews plus
Gamesmistress and David Wallaims' sheer nonsense! It was a shame that it
was on in the days of the Megadrive/SNES: the dark ages of originality in
games.

I enjoyed the Vicar of Dibley when it first started, but they've just
been repeating the same jokes endlessly for the last five years or more.
What's the point? It's not funny any more.

programme. Both of which would've been fine at 90 mins, not just over 2 hours.
VoD is one weak joke after another, but then I haven't found Dawn French funny
since the '80s ended as she just plays the same role of thinking "fat equals
funny". Any time I've happened to see French and Saunders during that time it
hasn't made me laugh either.
The other thing that I'm sure has killed VoD over the years is just
crowbarring well-known names into the cast for no apparent reason, so wehen
I've seen those clips they don't appear to add anything to it, it's just, eg.
"Hey, I'm Fergie" and then it carries on.
Doctor Who's Xmas show was another example of why RTD shouldn't write the
scripts and I tried Sarah Jane Adventures tonight but that was crap too.
I'm not a fan of This Life or Green Wing so I don't care about those finales,
and I've mentioned before that Worst Week... Xmas is just lazy farce, compared
to something like Some Mothers Do Ave Em where the lead character actually had
some heart in what he was trying to achieve.
As for what I did enjoy, Charlie Brooker's two shows were the best thing, as
were Buzzcocks and the Mock the Week outtakes, and Grumpy Old New Year was
good but even that went on about 15-20 mins too long.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's The Thick of It and the Mark Lawson
Talks to Armando Iannucci on BBC4 that preceeds it, but did they need to be
held back until after the New Year?

I happened to see the show being recorded and it was very interesting
how they edited that sequence for transmission. What actually happened
was that Walliams gave his retort and the audience drew in its breath.
It then became clear that Boy George hadn't actually heard what
Walliams had said and he kept asking "What did you say? I didn't hear
you.", but Walliams just sat stony-faced. It was at this point that
Noel and Russell started making jokes about the tension and hiding
under their desk. It was very uncomfortable for a few moments, but the
way it was edited made it look much more of a joke than it actually
was.

Bit late to the party...
Yes, I remember him. He was Big Boy Barry's simpleton sidekick, Lesley,
in a sort of sitcom thing called Big Boy Barry's Gamepad. I think it
aired on The Computer Channel (later to become [.tv]), but I could be
wrong on that.
Speaking of which, had high hopes for Kate Russell, for those who
remember her. Such a shame mainstream TV didn't snap her up. She was
(is) lovely. :)

She's on Click every week doing the Webscape section (each Saturday on
News 24 at 8.30pm, with repeats at 4.30am, then 4.30pm on Sunday and
then again at 12.30am later that night)
She reviews the best websites :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEWLleN91Bs
Agreed on the mainstream TV thing though, even for the show as a whole.
Although each programme only runs for about 24 minutes, I suggested to
the BBC that they could easily make room for it each week on a weekday
BBC1 slot at about 7.30pm so it'd be opposite Corrie (usuallly) and so
wouldn't be something that would have to worry about ratings so they
could at least give it a try and it'd make a far more interesting
broadcast than yet another repeat of Open All Hours(!)
However, for a channel that broadcasts the same karaoke contest each
night, yet claims it isn't dumbing down, quality is clearly something
they're not interested in.
