You Have Been Watching (2009–2010)
5/10
An Injokey, Twitterati Party To Which You Are Not Really Invited.
19 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Being part of a clique of humour-riffing chums in a bar is invariably a good thing. Look at you, part of the cool set for one night at least, telling and hearing the best jokes, gossip, quaffing from a seemingly unending supply of beer and scampi fries, throwing your head back and giggling at every golden droplet of wit. Anyone watching, sitting alone or with their partner in a strained and jaded romantic relationship, cannot see the humour, moreover, begins imagining ways the smug, chortling set might be slaughtered to the most satisfyingly entertaining end. The latter sensation is experienced when watching 'You Have Been Watching' What we have been watching are overtly self-aware polemicists whose wit dried out long ago and an endless array of 'Off the Kerb' agency comedians peddling the jokes culled from their bank of gag writers. No fun at all, pass me the Inquisition's 'Death Catalogue.'

A recent episode had the "panel" shooting fish in a barrel, or rather laughing at Christian broadcasting. Easy to do, and I'm no Christian, but their mob mentality, consisting of a blind acceptance of Dawkinsian atheism showed them up for the sheeple fashionistas they are.
