Advent Calendar Day Fifteen

Hello? What's this? I smell someone familiar.

Day Fifteen

Russell Howard

'Aaaarroooooold! Yep, the person I had the most feedback about from anonymous trolls on last year's Dystopian Advent Calendar is stinking up this year's. Nothing's changed; he's still an over-rated, unfunny, puerile blight on the TV schedules, a conduit for his team of writers and researchers' inane theft of other people's work on YouTube. The format of his show follows this pattern:

"Did you see [person X] on [TV programme Y] the other night?"

[Insert short clip taken out of context]

[Smug grin at camera]

[Audience piss themselves]

[Joke about wanking monkeys in a stupid voice]

[Or cocks]

Television comedy is in a very poor state of affairs right now; despite a vicious right-wing government in power (though how long that will last is another matter), satire's a bit thin on the ground. Channel 4's 10 O'Clock Live was tarnished by whatsherface from Kenickie, for example. Howard's presence on TV is not helping matters, dumbing humour down to anaemic levels.

Oh, and he came third in this year's Shit Britons (applauds). If you missed it, here's the propaganda video I made to bump his votes up:

Please sod off, Mr Howard.

You dirty old man.
