Personally, I prefer Lamarr because his cynical/bitter nature of the 'only sane man around' felt real, and incredibly natural. Simon seemed to force himself for the camera, to get attention. You can see his enjoyment having his ego massaged each time. Lamarr was someone going through, what he considered, mundane surrounding stupidity, and did what he could to get himself through it. He wasn't acting to get his ego massaged by the media/viewers. He just happened to be fucking hilarious.
I heard Simon Amstell's knowledge of music was actually encylopedic, I suspect he played dumb a lot of the time on the show. He may have been pretending to be clueless in order to play up that nerdy, retiring, awkward yet loveable type of character. Also, let's face it, a lot of those guests were here in an instant - gone in a flash.
im pretty sure No1 Appeared on Would i Lie to you. She was the mystery guest for Mr " I dont Believe it" as his dance partner on a video 'let dance'. Anybody else think its the same person?
@AJwalker99 simon did sometimes take things too far... but preston was a little bitch about it. Even Jermaine Jackson didn't walk out, and Simon took it way too far that time. It was painful to watch that episode.
BrummieAvenger I totally agree, Mark was so wicked quick with his comebacks and had no qualms about calling you on the carpet on certain things. He knew how to stir the pot very well, as well as keeping it quite entertaining which is a feat not easily done.

I would'nt say this is golden age of Buzzcocks at all, Lemarr was good, but not now, watching this clip, his comedy style really has'nt aged well at all! Simon Amstell is always raved by the critics & considered 1 of the best in comedy at the moment! Simon is Ruthless & brilliant, Lemarr was good, but Amstell is in a different league! Things are more fluent & quicker & alot funnier now on Buzzcocks! This is just pub funny, Simon Amstell still has gr8 chemistry with Phil & its still 1 of the best
Simon is funny to watch but when it comes down to it, he is just winding up celebs...
Plus the fact that Mark actually has musical knowledge whereas Simon doesn't really know a lot at all. Given the nature of the show one would expect the host to know a fair bit about music.
Im not slating Amstell but in my opinion Lamarr was far better for the job
Dave Berry is a talentless mockney twat.

This was the golden age of Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Now that Mark and Bill have left it's just a shadow of its former self.
The chemistry they had was fantastic.

What's wrong with being pub funny?
Sorry but Lamarr was 20 times more ruthless than Amstell.
While Amstell is just being bitchy, Lamarr had real venom in his put-downs, he was a merciless, unpredictable, sharp-suited anarchist.
Although I'm still a Buzzcocks fan, it now pales in comparison to newer shows like Mock the Week and Qi.
