He likes the echo.

So he had that sketch taking the piss out of lowest common denominator sitcoms, what do they show right after it? Coming of Age.

Well done.

Who's the lady in the cheetah blouse?

[StarberryPlacemats]

[StarberryPlacemats]

I wish I could think of reactions as insanely funny as this.

[MayOceansClaimMe]

0:22 it looks like that could be our lovely Mister Brooker's father to me.

[schnorschrajaxx]

lol 10:03 larynges is the longest word you can make from that my life is sad =/

[JustAboutCrazy]

"Ah, now that's what I call ageing" lol

On a side note, why is Countdown's Carol Voldemort's apprentice dressed like a tea bag?

[Soundfrequency]

If that host lady-thing from 10 Years Younger approached me on the beach I'd run screaming under the assumption that I was being attacked by one of those rocket-zombies from Doom.

[Soundfrequency]

That woman on 10 Years Younger looked a hell of a lot better before they took the knife to her face.

S'only a shame she let herself be talked into this :<

[Teeg32]

I don't like Charlie's new look; he looks noticeably less like the love child of Laurence Fishburne and a walrus.

The background song throughout most of this part was freaking me out. At first I only knew i recognized it, but not what it was. Then when I realized it was a muzak version of: "river deep, mountain high". And that didn't help.

[JONNOG88]

Oh my lord how I love Thalia Zucci.

[ShaggyShan]

"I'd watch it but I wouldn't want it on my hard drive".  Ha!

[tokando69]

LONG LIVE THE MOTHERFUCKING RESISTANCE

42 persons liked the echo.

[QullVideo]

i didn't realise Bumming Off was a sketch for this show until the interveiw with the star ¬_¬.

[TheSilhouette]

Mickey Rourke child scarecrow = genius.

[JustAboutCrazy]

Thank God that's not a real show!

[JoeChinsChains]

With Bumming Off I'm definitely seeing more Coming of Age than Two Pints. The latter, while often unfunny I don't feel it panders quite as shamefully. It also doesn't have a central idiot to spew endless cock jokes, while the former of course has DK - practically a mirror image of Tyrone here.

[mrchoochoohead]

I get that Bumming off was supposed to be unfunny... That's the joke. Try watching it with your gran in the room!

I just looked at the floor. I thought it would never end :#

@1977RiSK The 2nd one

[1977RiSK]

@JonathanBloggs I was making a comment towards the people who thought it was a rip off 'coming of age' , i was merely stating that it was closer to 'Two Pints' than 'Coming Of Age'

Did you really think i didnt know it was a parody or did you not really have anything to say and instead just decided to try and put someone down for your own smug amusement?
