The 11O'Clock Show

Hey. Did you like Brass Eye? So did we. Clearly.


(This copy was written in one day. Be impressed. The jokes are written like that too.)

it's topical mayhem all the way as the gang focus their razor-sharp satire on the day's events.

Is that what you intend doing, or were you just quoting the entire script from next Tuesday's show?

Just my latest suggestion for 11OCS advertising copy.

Works on a couple of levels - as a quote from the show, drawing in those members of the audience who find swearing intrinsically funny and also what everyone else says as soon as they see the opening titles.

Perhaps FCUK should ensure they book the advetising slots during every show, just to keep the theme going?

I have been catching up on this site, and I couldn't help but notice that the newer contributors, Nik, Jeanette and James are about as funny as a fucking embolism in a day old puppy.

Are they by any chance related?

Are you an 11ocs writer, 'Topol' (dunno why you just don't give your real name, chances are we still won't have heard of you)?

If so:

1) The three contributors you mention are not getting paid for their (spontaneous) contributions to this forum. You (presumably) are getting paid for your contributions to 11ocs.

2) Your above response wasn't funny either. Not even when you put "fuck" in the middle of that sentence.

3) You want inarticulate, unfunny rubbish? - go to the C4 forum where people can barely spell or even make sense.

4) You've got a show tomorrow. Panic! Bond - those four birds with violins! Diego Maradona did use his hand after all! (There you go - material! I'm not doing the work for you, though - it's up to you and the other 68 writers to hone it into hilarity by tomorrow night.)

5) What would you rather be doing?

If you're not an 11ocs writer, why the defensiveness?

True. There are some real nutters in there, the sort of reader's messages that even the Daily Telegraph wouldn't print.

Precisely. And if the little fella was going to croak so early on in the game, a 'fucking embolism' would probably be one of the more amusing ways to go.

I'm guessing here a little.
