Have I Got News For You News... For You - BBC One

[aTruster]

Press 8 repeatedly

[HackneySack]

O'Reilly bit at the end was beautiful. Not as good as Charlie Brooker's, but still quite beautiful.

[TheBluePianist]

depends on what you define funny as

[stopthechem]

nwo pirates she is the biggest

[gingerintelligence]

"Paul and Ian are unable to appear as they have fallen in love, and gone for a dirty weekend to Paris."

I watch and re-watch that bit just to take in it's sheer surrealism. And to chastise myself for wondering if maybe, JUST MAYBE, Alexander wasn't joking... xD

...

((and 'coz its TEH FUNNI))

[siddistani]

o'reilly!!! Three cheers for anyone who dicks on Bill-O!

[ChrisPatuzzo]

Some of the jokes seem really bad with no audience there to laugh.

[fuzzjohn]

Maybe then you rely on the audience's laughter to tell you when a joke is funny rather than finding it funny yourself. It's like being brainwashed into thinking something is funny.

[Mitothy24]

hah, could've used the live audience laughter of the real show, but the O'Reliely ending sealed it as a side splitter for me.

[proverbs999]

Third "jokes" fucking harsh in my opinion. And i usually hate tinned laughter but that's definitely needed in this shitty comedy sketch. Christ he's wank

[shawridge]

write something better then

[nickdc1]

Tickets for May 14th recording on ebay. Bidding ends Sunday 10th.

[therealkevy]

Is it only me who has noticed that Have I got News For You have stolen about three of four jokes from Charlie Brooker's Newswipe in the last episode and in this?

[comedystopoff]

Must be. Nobody else watches it.

[jus2sik]

i remember they stole one from the graham norton show once

[Frenchdayz]

Could be same writers or HIGNFY writers in the same rooms as Screenwipe writers

[danvinesexgod]

lol. not bad. Alexander Armstrong and the writers have done something good, but it's not up to the standards of the webisodes. Have I Got News For You without Ian Hislop and Paul Merton or a live audience is lifeless.

[Metroid02099]

Bill O'Reilly joke at the end, Hilarious!

[Frenchdayz]

Charlie Brooker does a better one

[pddwatch81]

They should remake this as entertainment.

[StarSupernova]

This doesn't look good enough to watch the whole way through so maybe I'm not qualified to slate this but I don't like it. I didn't think AA would look so fake, I thought he'd be in the studio. And no laughter, no audience or panel make this a no go for me. Sorry.

[DrScrawl]

embarrassing

[dedlos]

Love the show but hated this.

[comradevodka]

Yeah, I give them props for experimenting and Armstrong is always a good host but this format doesn't work. Needs audience+ Hislop's snarky one liners and Merton's motor-mouth.

Still enjoyable though... Good writers & nice delivery by Alexander...

[bigsteve2345]

i would agree wit u there other wise it would nt be the the have i got news 4 u that we love

[megamarsvin]

strangely although normally I hate "forced background laughter" this feels weirdly empty without the audience.

I love the O'Reilly joke at the end tho xD

[Fartsurmonde]

I think the latest is great -showed Brown (the scots git in no.10) in an interview saying after the email scandal "I take full responsibilty for what happened....that is why I sacked the one responsible....."

-You just can't write this thick Government -it really is led by a prat!

[pauljan1988]

what's with the ellipsis in the title?

[shadey4u]

Because It's Have I Got News For You News... For You

How about reading it properly next time dumbass

[pauljan1988]

How about you stop being a single 38 year old :)

[shadey4u]

Ahh the wonders of being able to lie on the internet, you got told by a 14 year old

[pauljan1988]

DENIAL

[shadey4u]

your arguing with a teenager and its not going well, says something really doesn't it

[pauljan1988]

...that was an arguement? Kid, I don't actually care. Wow :S you really must be 14, I take it all back.

[shadey4u]

Thank you

[HotSpicyTasteGreat]

lol bill orilley lol

[hignfy123]

Nice Bill O'Reily parody!

[DirkSchooner]

This show has gone right downhill, is it me or is it just not funny any more, I used to love it. Last series was abit dodgy, but even with the great talent of Frank skinner hosting the latest, it just seems flat, no aptmosphere, such a shame. Can't work out why, its the same format that used to work. maybe its just past its prime and they're contractually obliged to keep churning it out?

[niallswand]

filmed in small studio with green screen

[coruscantplanet]

I love that parody at the end.

[boolooloo1995]

When does the new series start

[callumbrowns]

today it is the best

[DarthJedi2005]

What's happened to the "webisode"?

[leela145]

yeah i loved the webisode!

[mrfunny321]

dam no background laughter :(

[tobylane]

Doesn't work without audience laughter.

[cjcj1989]

Hilarious, loved the Bill O'Reilly reference - I'm not from the US but even in the UK we know hes an arsehole!

[Moncantha]

Yeah, thats so funny.

FUCK IT, FUCK IT!!!

[mark8312theone]

excellent bill orielli impersonation

[NLPexperts]

why spend tv licensing fee's for this crap? yes its funny but it produces no revenue.

Why should the bbc license fee be mandatory, when all 600 other channels in the UK (bskyb) don't get a penny.

The uk is the only country in the world where their is a monthly fee for having a tv.

[RagdollPhysics]

because not all other channels can be relied upon for true non-commercial public service broadcasting, impartial news coverage and to be committed to drama, education and current events programming sourced in the UK. I, like many other people, feel that the BBC could benefit from a limiting of it's present scope and cuts in the executive paychecks - but the UK benefits greatly from having the BBC, not everything has to have the production of capital as it's purpose..

[blizzardfan16]

you are a moron you pay the fee to not have adverts within breaks but obviously you dont know that because all 600 or so other  channels have them and get there funding that way just so you are now informed -_-.

[spinkychan]

Hahaha the end amused me. Loved Newswipe (or Screenwipe whatever you want to call it), really enjoying Charlie Brooker's take on things.

[azrael316]

lol. Me too.

[Terocs]

most people in the UK wont get the reference at the end

[oldskool18]

they will if they saw Charlie Brooker's really rather excellent "Screenwipe".

[Equimanthorn]

newswipe

[eng2k7]

very gd love alexander Armstrong

[FermanaghPort]

Very good. Love the end

[bbbbbb222222]

i want to learn english from UK

[shaunw1988]

wasn't funny at all... damn that show has gone down hill. stick it on bbc 3/4

[oilslug]

its funnier with the audience laughter

[IYANDIY]

somali pirates have been protecting their waters from europeans dumping nuclear waste there, as well as fishing their waters till theyre empty, its called having a backbone and standing up to criminal states like ours, despite the ministry of truth telling us otherwise...

[originaldaw]

You sir, are fu*king stupid if you think that.

[IYANDIY]

Not quite stupid enough to believe everything BBC tells me, unlike, er, you Sir...!

[kinghani]

His Bill O'Reilly moment rivals Charlie Brooker's.

[leejipark]

vanilla face motherfucker!

[fing3rbang]

Haha! The present was supoib.

[longination]

'FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE' was Bill Oreilly's finest moment

[skuppy]

wow, i wish i lived in britain. better tv. great o'reilly impression, too. creepy resemblance.

[TheDarksterZane]

Cant wait for the new series this Friday. there have been times such as the recent Jacqui Smith porno scandal on the news and iv wished Ian and Paul would pop up out of nowhere with a comeback

[xMirax]

love this show

[AlexTheRussianAnt]

Does that mean the origonal Have i got news for you is not returning?

[xMirax]

noooooo, don't say that. Tv would become bosing again. It did for some time after 'Who's line is it anyway?' finished. then this came back hehe

[LearnTruthFindPeace]

i think the new tv series is starting in britain on friday

[ViruneeV]

Xander Armstrong = <3

[ubuibiok]

*****

[crazymurdav]

Doubt they can/will but I hope they somehow got BORIS back as the host. Those eps are the best by far lol

[jantoforeverplox]

It looks like he's doing an impression of Charlie Brooker doing an impression of Bill o Reilly...

[ZoettaPerry]

Best. Host. Ever.

[lucyth2]

1:55 onwards,=. thats not staged at all....

[PlaztE]

its a piss take of bill o reilly freaking out

[prfctday]

Just goes to show how pro some of these guys are when they can do it without the studio audience!... with perfect timing.

[eamonicker]

0:35 pmsl

[xLordIEvilno65x]

meh. Charlie Brooker already did the O'Reily gag on Newswipe...

Armstrong's quite funny though :)

[Retardis]

eerily silent, you can almost see the tumbleweed blowing across the studio floor.

[leon44isdabest]

totally agree, obviously they cant get a whole studio audience for the web episodes but it sounds just wrong.

Exactly the same reason why the new Red Dwarf wasn't funny.

[ECTBWHO]

: )

[mrstilney]

Could do with some canned laughter but not bad.

[himthere32]

lol, the bill o reily thing probably would have been funnier, but i saw charlie brooker do the same gag on Newswipe before XD

[eszettfromhell]

That was awful. If this is how the BBC intends to treat its flagship programs then it should just get the fuck offline.

[lewisjamieson1]

shiiit has anyone actually noticed how much he actually looks like bill o when he leans back 2:13 in

the resemblance is uncanny

[DavidlyMe]

He actually looks like Bill O.

[MaxSafeheaD]

ROFL @ Bill O'  =D

[MaestroEmbassy]

FAIL!!

[davers123]

This shits on Brookers O'Reilley thing - Armstrong's reproduction is note perfect.

More of this please BBC. Lol, etc...

[ChrisTEOCo]

Loving the Bill O'Reilly bit!!

[mackthescout]

This really needs an audience there laughing. I'd never noticed how the odd the silence over the picture on the 'News just in' bit could be without laughter, so, er thanks for that...

[shakapietersen17]

that was good, its misses the laughs and I think charlie brooker did the o'reilly thing better, however really good, can't wait for a new series........

[moggydave]

Bill O'Reilly would get torn to pieces by Paul Merton - so, it'd be great to have him on the show.

[jay13jay13]

lol at bill o'reilly

[jozcoz]

LOVE the Bill O'Reilly bit haha...

[sach3]

lol love the O'Reilly thing

[Gerryhattricks]

PLAY US OUT?

Looks good. Love Armstrong and Miller. Almost as much as I love Bill 'Papa Bear' O'Reilly.

[BobTKaye]

I wonder how many people won't get the O'Reilly reference.

It's eerily quiet without background laughter of any kind.

[DominicJHudson]

material was good, not keen on the host.

he's neither a comedian or angus deaton type person.  i think a different host would improve it.

[llpalm08]

Or maybey there actully being backgoround laughs might help it. They all read it off an autocue anyway.

[madrobot]

That's a good idea — get Bill O'Reilly on the show. But do it live!

[scrumpled]

LMFAO at the Bill O'Reilly spoof. FUCK IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

[barobson]

cool
