Why do people suddenly WANT to watch an incosiderate asshole for an hour or more? All that guy seems to do is just arrive at a situation, and say whatever would be most controversial or rude. That strikes me as being rather boring, unoriginal, and low brow. The most entertaining thing about it (for me) is the fact that people find it funny, like school children laughing at swear words. Some of it has a certain element of wit and cleverness, but the vast majority of it plays out like an episode of itchy and scratchy.
Give me Jack Dee or Paul Merton any day, in my mind they're far more talented, far more entertaining comedians.
