Jmothecat2 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Reading a quick article about the 10 craziest things to happen in Scottish football this year it's astounding OAE couldn't come up with anything other than the same old tired jokes. McGhee at Pittodrie, Rod Stewart's cup draw, Pedro in a bush, this year was ripe for comedy. Twitter accounts like Simpsons SPFL and OF Facts have managed all year and Only an Excuse basically came out with one joke relevant to this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this is the only reason it's still on tv, it's been dire for years . Loads of people still watch it purely out of habit. Ridiculous how many people watched it knowing how shite it was going to be, and continuing to just put themselves through it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Not watched for 10 years and turned over to it briefly to see Frank fucking McAvennie still loitering like a bad smell. WTF?!?!? The only way they could have made that any good was to involve the #metoo thing, but the extent of their political satire is to have Nicola Sturgeon releasing a perfume (for no reason whatsoever) and a lazy joke about Salmond doing a Russian dance. But they've just discovered Eminem so maybe in 20 years time they will cover something that actually happened this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naegoodinthedark Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Switched on for the first time in years. Truly awful. Had to explain to my kids who Frank McAvennie was. Get this to f**k please BBC Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter accounts like Simpsons SPFL and OF Facts have managed all year and Only an Excuse basically came out with one joke relevant to this season. I'll bet that will be too 'football related' for the show. The vast majority of viewers will not get most of these. So instead they keep it vague, and utterly shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 8 hours ago, 8MileBU said: Can anyone explain the Eminem, Connor McGregor & Kim Jong Un bits? Also, get Frank McAvennie to f**k. Awful. At least Conor and Kim Jong Un have been high profile this year, Eminem seemed totally left field and the actor looked nothing like Eminem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 He did release an album this year. They helpfully had him singing a song from one he released 17 years ago though. I still don't really get the joke, a Scottish shopkeeper wouldn't be allowing Eminem to rap in his shop? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Rancid pish once again. Need to stop watching it, just make me cringe now. Not even a slight smirk this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Did not watch this last night, it has got worse and worse over the years, Watson and the BBC need to stop. Long gone are the days of Chick Young and Jim Farry at their secret location down by the clyde. It was funny 20 years ago but the comedy died in it. They are like a band living off their debut album that breaks boundaries however the rest of the stuff is utter dog shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 My first instinct last night after watching was that OAE should never be seen again. However, it would be a shame to lose a show about Scottish football/comedy, particularly one with a good history until recent years - it has to be the writers/producers that are the issue here. With all the Rangers stuff that has gone in the last few years alone they should have been able to make some hilarious stuff, plus if they want to continue to go down the current affairs/politics route they have an unbelievable amount of significant stuff (No Vote, Trump, Brexit) to use, yet all they have served up is some cringeworthy nonsense. Surely somewhere in Scottish media there is enough skill and ability to resurrect this show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
