Shit title, probably a shit topic, I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Gary Strang must be fuming at the intellectual property theft.

Donald Trump becoming president of the united states is a pretty obvious one.

A British Prime Minister fucking a pig. Although technically that was already a reality before Brooker came up with the idea for Black Mirror, but he wasn't to know that. I remember him being absolutely delighted when the story broke, understandably so.

I was annoyed to discover that no one has started up a World Stare-Out Championship. Did come across this which almost fulfils the remit:

Lucky too. If I remember correctly from the behind-the-scenes book, they were very close to it being a goat. Possibly a gibbon, though I may have dreamt that.

Also how Altavista named its translator function "Babelfish".

Or I guess spam being called "spam"

Heads or Tails

Heads or Tails

was thinking of that show yesterday when I glimpsed that ITV were showing a "Best Ever Finals" for the equally baffling show Tipping Point (I guess Coronavirus meant they had no new shows filmed).

2010. Heads Or Tails. The Beige had finally succumbed. The cud chomping audience, you can hear them audibly inheriting the dead eyed rictus grin and automaton clapping of their 1980s forefathers and mothers. At least in the 1980s, there was a certain "buy in" to the capitalist entertainment they were mainlining.

On the Hour ends with a half hour news broadcast becoming a 24 hour station. That's was 1992 or so, how old is all-day news as a concept? I know Anchorman 2 also deals with the advent of permanews but that's set much earlier isn't it?

Some of Alan Partridge's TV programmes got made. Gordon Ramsay did Cooking in Prison for example.

Ned Sherrin used that title for his BITING SATIRES series in 1965.Kenneth Tynan said " fuck" on it.
As has already been pointed out, Paul Kaye can no longer use that title to make Jeff Goldblum look like a cunt.

SNL had that sketch about the 3 blade razor back in 1975 or something.  Didn't they later go up to 5 or 6 blades as well?

Comedy quotes that you associate more with their CAB username than their original context is another thread entirely... Trenter Percenter, Shoulders? Stomach!, etc.

Chris Morris did something in Brass eye involving guns in a church.
This year I think a gun-man was taken down by someone in the Church audience with a gun.

I love the Australian PM took a vacuous slogan from Veep and used it in his successful election campaign, because my country is a bunch of apathetic drunkards
