Weird TV

[lordb]

Watched the first couple of episodes of The Way on BBC
Absurd, over the top, almost 6tg form surreal drama

I'm sure plenty will think it's wank but I'm enjoying it

Any other shows which on the face of it bobbins but so weird they are good?

Monkey is an obvious one

I liked Death Note , the 2015 live action series. Was an Anime series as well

Any fans of Squid Game should enjoy it

Nothing weird about it. Ahead of its time. Perfect post pub fodder.

Farmer wants a wife. It’s as ludicrous a concept as it sounds. I watched about 3 episodes then couldn’t take it anymore. However, they were fun episodes 😂

Watching the trailers for that is enough.

I watched the first episode. The first 30 minutes were interesting then it totally lapsed into cliched trash.

The Undateables. Can't make my mind up if it's a sensitive examination of the problems faced by people with disabilities or learning difficulties or just offensive exploitation for entertainment purposes.

Edut - with all the crap they repeat or remake this has to be worth a remake

i think it started as exploitation and it became a hit just due to the heartwarming stories and relationships that came out of it

like benefits street on c4 too, it was just poverty porn

Just run the originals.

What was the program called with the midgets, topless darts and the weather in Norwegian?

[Eggybread]

There was also a program "Elvis" something who was black and used to get his todger out but there was a fit woman in the program, for the life of me I cannot think of the name or her name.

Edit Naked Elvis with Tanya Strecker

I remember coming home from an all dayer in my late teens/ early 20s completely pished and ended up watching some weird game show where Keith Chegwin was running about with his tiny pidge out on Channel 5. Woke up wondering if it was a bizarre dream but had taped it for reasons best known to pished me and ended up watching it again with a hangover.

It was like Gladiators but with flabby nude old folk tackling obstacles in a plastic jungle.

Banzai - fucking class

I think that's why he was sacked from Cheggers Plays Pop

Sledgehammer. Found it great after the pub on a Friday in the late 80's. A to ngue in cheek show about an American cop obsessed with weaponry. Sounds pretty normal now.

[Eggybread]

Anyone old enough to remember the Gong show,that was nuts, a USA show?

The Banana Splits show was a bit weird looking back but it was essential Saturday morning viewing for me as a kid.

Strange mix of music, cartoons and studio stuff presented by 4 blokes dressed as bananas.
