I have to question the voting options and the motives behind them.
"Genius or Tosser"?
It sounds exactly like a SUN newspaper poll.
Why can't we try to be more constructive than a, generally offensive, Chav-rag like the SUN?
I like Harry Hill, I don't think he's a comic genius neither do I think he's a tosser.
Can I have a "I think he's funny" option?
Can I have a "I don't think he's funny" option?
Comedy is subjective.
He IS funny because people find him funny
Ricky Gervais IS funny because people find him funny.
Viewing figures, DVD sales and download statistics suggest popularity and therefore funniness.
"Harry Hill gets a Bafta" means that someone out there likes him. If he didn't win it then Ant & Dec may have won it and upset a different set of grouches.
Harry Hill has won 3 Baftas, Ricky Gervais has won all the comedy awards available several times over and holds the record for most downloaded radio show.
They are both talented and funny so it must be you.
Maybe, just maybe, the best TV shows DID win the Baftas.
His over enthusiastic applause for the mediocre entertainment on offer was more amusing (as was his oversized shirt collar) than anything else which happened on stage that night.
Jurek, don't you see even the slightest pinch of snobbery and elitism in that statement?
