Over the past few months we’ve created a wide variety of photoshopped backgrounds, to be projected behind those individuals sordidly talented enough to perform at Marshmallow Ladyboy Jesus. Here are a few of those grotesques.
Nowadays people talk about alternative comedians, political comedians, stand up comedians, sketch comedians and sitcom writers. Back in the late nineteen seventies, when the Pythons were inventing surreal sketch comedy and Peter Cook reigned over British entertainment like a lush laughter genius, there were only humorists. Actually this paragraph is built from lies, or at [...]
Recently we’ve posted about right-wing nutters, bad rappers and The Beast The Daily Beast correspondent Max Blumenthal. So when I spotted this gem over on the ever brilliant Jesus’s General blog (a parody of the classic wingnut) I was unbelievable “stoked”, as it happily contains all three.
I’ve been going back over some old emails, and spotted this gem from last year. I’m sure plenty of you will have seen it, but if you haven’t it’s well worth a gander.
We’ve eulogized Armando Iannucci before, but here is his new project. Made for the Observer newspaper, Iannucci has gathered a gaggle of young British comedians together for a series of parody video’s. He’s targeting the same crowd Morris aimed at with Nathan Barley, with the same results- momentary humour, overpowered by how alienating and odious [...]

Folks like Steve Coogan, Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci revolutionised British comedy; fusing the surrealism, verbal [...]
Deep in the misty vales of late night television lurk odd, orange stained little men, with bright white teeth and entries on the sex offender’s registry. The greatest is this man, Andy Hodgson, whose appearance and demeanour shares elements of Steve Coogan’s Alan Partridge and Austrian sex man Joesph Fritzl. This video compilation of his [...]
Chris(topher) Morris, the terrible child of British televisionradio comedy, began his careen into famelebrity with the oft acclaimed Bee Bee, see? Radio For pretend comedy news show ‘On the Hour’. Warp Records, the British indie label associated with caravan living acid casualty Aphex Twat, has had a long association with morris. Possibly including fucking. They’ve [...]
A heavily medicated Spader and Shatner recline on leather chez lounge, the air heavy with their talk, their faces thick with manly ointments. Cameras, glorious high definition models, whiz and dart on computer programmed tracks, capturing the wags as they sip their single malt scotchs with ‘sculpted, moon-polished lips’ and toke from fat brown Cubans.
