Funnily enough that's where I get my packets of pasta. I should probably have pointed that out for morons like you but I stupidly thought that that would be obvious. Jist goes to show eh.
Alexander Armstrong on Pointless. Although I argue that my detestation of this oxygen thief who should have been euthanized at birth actually does make sense, and I will go to the pains of explaining why. The twat is incapable of ad libbing, as a good game show host should be able to. He just reads the same old crap off the autocue on every episode then asks the same bloody questions to the contestants, even repeating them when they come back for their second show. "Tell us what you like to do in your spare time" "Why? Because you didn't listen the first time, you twat..? I told you on yesterdays show that I'm into masturbating, strangling kittens and setting fire to useless retards who don't have the wit to ask something different. Just get on with the show you boring arsehole." Then he has to carry out a complete run down of the rules of the show. Why..? Jeremy Paxman doesn't do that on University Challenge, he just says "You know the rules, let's get on with it". Try treating contestants and viewers like sentient beings with memory retention longer than that of an amoeba. Not only does he repeat the same lifestyle questions he asked each contestant yesterday, he then repeats every quiz question at least twice. As if we can't see what's on the screen for ourselves or we've got the attention span of a gnat and can't remember what he said not ten seconds ago. And THEN.... there's the issue of telling us what today's jackpot is. "So, you're going to play for today's jackpot of 2000 pounds. To win today's jackpot of 2000 pounds all you have to do is get a pointless answer. If you do that you'll walk away with today's jackpot of 2000 pounds. So, let's play pointless for today's jackpot of £2000" Aaaarrrrrrggghhhhhhh....!! Get a life, you ****ing moron. Learn to ad lib. Stop repeating yourself. We don't need to have the rules read out relentlessly as if they're some sort of sadistic dystopian brainwashing project. We can take the question in the first time and we don't give a flying **** what the jackpot is. Just get on with the quiz you ****. Now, I'm not a violent man. I'm not usually obsessive about anything. I am usually at peace with my fellow man, and actually I like Pointless. I like the quiz and I feel chuffed when I personally get an answer that turns out to score 0. But if I could be moved to hate, loathe and despise any other human being on the planet, that person would be Alexander ****ing Armstrong. My thanks to Rorschach for starting this thread. Rant over.
I really ****ing hate this tedious ****. Out of all the tedious ****s in here this tedious **** is by far the most tedious and ****ish.
Pointless is pish. As BlackKeith Redcoat says above, AA does explain every single rule, but not because he can't ad-lib. It's because the show is so mind-numbingly boring that they need to fill up 40 mins or so of a show which is effectively, 10 questions which should take no more than 10 mins. Same with Deal or No Deal, that show should last 10 seconds tops. "So you've picked box 11" "yes" Open the box - go home with your £1.
Pointless has become boring cause it's on all the f**ing time. Plus the 'banter' between Armstrong and the Jolly Green Giant is painful to watch. Caught an episode of the new 15 to 1 show the other day - a half hour show stretched out to an hour with some ugly boot waffling s**te. Bring back William G Stewart!
The "G" stands for Gladstone, as he is a direct relative of Gladstone the ex Prime Minister, so I was told many moons ago. Could be ****e though.
Yep - another example of the Beeb hitting on a winning format and flogging it to death. Still, I do watch it whenver i get the chance purely to try and get a 0 answer - I'm sure most people who watch it do exactly the same. The Chase is another one - good concept but on too much
