ADAM & JOE ON 100 GREATEST FUNNY MOMENTS
CHANNEL 4, SUNDAY 26th, FEBRUARY 2006
I didn’t mention this show before it went out because I was ashamed I was a part of it. I think the best thing to do is post a bit of us talking about it on November 19th, 2005 on Xfm, which sort of explains my reservations. Basically, as funny as a lot of the clips in the list were those shows are fucking shit and I should have learned my lesson about appearing on them by now.
To add insult to ignominy, I saw that Time Out referred to us as being ‘among the talking heads who pretend their memory is crystal clear when really they’ve seen all the clips the night before on a specially prepared DVD’. Well that’s exactly the reason we only spoke about our own clips so put it in your sarcastic hole Time Out. Mind you, Time Out were nice about my performance in The IT Crowd so they can take it out of their hole again but if I see any more ill informed sniping, they’ll be putting it right back in their hole with no chance of a hole reprieve.
As far as list shows go, I hereby swear that I will never give an interview to another list show again, even if it’s 100 Greatest Adam Buxton Moments hosted by David Bowie. OK, if they got Bowie to host it I would do a short interview.
As an unnecessary addendum to this whole topic, here’s myself and Joe having one last moan on Xfm (March 4th, 2006).
