    You can't knock the success of his shows, but everything he does is so unbelievably calculated and inoffensive that it puts me off him.

    EDIT: lol, we both went inoffensive.

    Osman was okay until everyone kept telling him how funny he is and now he's fucking well annoying. Especially when the zany riffing with "xander" stays in the edit cus the head to head doesn't go a third question and they need to kill time.

    His philosophy as a tv producer/commissioner is fucking wack too. He had some sorta round table discussion with Frankie Boyle, where Boyle was saying you can make challenging, intellectually demanding tv and ppl will like it, nd Osman was basically, in as many words, saying you should just make mindless shit for the plebs. If the discussion was behind closed doors and Osman trying to diplomatically tell Frankie that tramadol nights was shit fair play, but you can tell he means it.

    This was also the worst tweet in existence, and why i respect weird one nation tories like jim and fascists like lewis far more than deranged blairite lib dem freaks like him:

    If you didn't know who he was you could tell his sense of humour and his politics from that avatar. He just wants the Grown-Ups™ back in charge. How many kids has Boris Johnson even got? He should drive to Bernard Cast... Barnard Castle, sorry. He should drive to Bernard Castle so he can check!

    Huge respect for Greg Davies (although maybe not cos he probably had a part in getting Osman on the show) for when Richard Osman was on Taskmaster, often referring to the panel as "four comedians and Richard Osman."

    He's clearly quite a smug twat but he does have a knack of coming up with inoffensive quiz formats that don't cost much to make so get used to him being on telly forever.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Osman has never tried to con people with a box that cures cancer or actually thought anyone would give him enough money to buy the BBC.

    All part of the show. Sure, Steve and Sue have only been standing next to each other for an hour but 'over the course of this week they've really got no know each other'.

    The only good thing about Deal or No Deal is when some smug cretin allowed themselves to be convinced it was anything more than a guessing game, thought they were the bee's knees and then went home with a tenner.

    Pointless would be whole lot less Pointless if they stopped talking to the contestants about their lives. There's fucking 8 of them. I don't care what their names are, what they do for work, what they'd spend the money on or what their hobbies are. Fuck off.

    If they lost that and the 'xander' bants they could knock an episode out in 12 minutes.

    This is why 15-1 remains the best quiz show (the proper one not the shit new one they tried to do), they barely even mentioned who the people were.

    The only time a contestants life / personality matters is in a show like Golden Balls. Who they are will actually effect what they do (and what you think they will do) at the end.

    I don't even think there was money involved in it. I'm sure they killed it because one bloke turned up, won every day and always came back for about 12 months.

    Noted murderer CJ De Mooi was a titan on 100% at one point.

    Osman is a good follow on Twitter, not so much for the content he barfs out, but as a means of understanding how these people think. You will often see him go out of his way to heap praise on TV shows that he clearly doesn't personally like, but which he nonetheless considers 'great TV' for their success in accessing pleb eyeballs. On the other hand, on the rare occasion he actually reveals his personal tastes which are in any way esoteric (liking the music of Sufjan Stevens, for example) he'll do so with a tone of great hesitancy and reluctance, as if he's pitching a TV show and a bad public reaction will mean cancellation.

    In other words, his entire life is an attempt to be in step with broad public opinion, rather than to make anything that is good for its own sake, or to be relaxed about liking what he likes.

    Yeah exactly Jim.

    There is the cliche of being a hipster who only likes wholemeal fairtrade bands with 500 listens on spotify and pretentiously eating spaghetti instead of normal pasta shapes which I've deffo been guilty of at times in my life, but Osman is a good example of why trying too hard to NOT be that is just as bad.

    You shouldn't be mocked for listening to ABBA but you shouldn't have to apologise for listening to Captain Beefheart.

    Indeed - I often think about this passage from Stewart Lee which I read in an interview with him years ago and which on its own turned me away from being the 'inoffensive centrism is good' guy:

    He especially regrets the disappearance of the old “support networks”, such as the unemployment and housing benefits, that enabled artists to live cheaply and find their way. “It’s all over. There’ll come a point when somebody will suddenly realise – there’s loads and loads of Coldplay but there isn’t a Radiohead, there’s loads and loads of ITV1 sitcoms, and things with Robert Lindsay in a house, but there isn’t a League of Gentlemen. Someone will be reading an embossed novel about a missing artefact, and they will suddenly think, ‘Didn’t there use to be books that were not just a list of events?’ ” (Lee’s well-known parody of a typical Dan Brown sentence goes: “The famous man looked at the red cup.”) In 40 years, he reckons, people will be saying, “Where’s all that stuff gone that was … good?”
    Now obviously there is lots of 'good' stuff out there at the moment but one can very much envisage this world where most people's greatest cultural stimulation is the idea that Bill Bailey is good at dancing and not shit.

    That Senegal side may well have been the last great team of genuine unknowns at a World Cup. I don't think anyone in the English-speaking world had heard of any of them before the tournament, apart from freaks who had watched the preceding Afcon. Bunch of mid table and second/third tier French jobbers, donned their way into a quarter-final and were pretty well robbed by Turkey.

    North Korea 2014, I guess, but they were shit so it wasn't the same.

    Maradona - dead
    Papa Bouba Diop - dead
    Georgi Ivanov - dead

    It's only Roger Milla who stands between us and the total extinction of World Cup history.
