Anyone who’s anyone who’s anyone knows the importance that Watchmen had on the history of sequential art (which is a cockended way of saying ‘comics’).
It had boobies and swearing and violence, as well as a final twist that is consistently ranked as one of the greatest twists in fictional history; ranked after the Hungry Caterpillar eating an apple and not the eyes of a sleeping gentleman nearby but before O’Shaughnessy’s antics in The Maltese Falcon.
We all love Watchmen, but what would you say if you found out that a sequel was in the works?

You know how people sit around talking? They sit around and talk about all manner of things. Sometimes they know what they’re talking about. Sometimes not. Sometimes, people say really appalling things that would make someone sound like a monster, if taken out of context. Some people are just dull.
Well, comedians are no different. Not that they care. They’re hired to make people laugh in any way possible. Some tread an offensive line. Some are right-on. Some are aware that they’ll never make anyone laugh as hard as someone accidentally doing a particularly angry fart in a public place.
And so, Jimmy Carr has come forward to talk about his joke about people with Down Syndrome.

A new series of 8 Out Of 10 Cats starts on Channel 4 tonight and there’s a new team captain on the show. And that new team captain is Jon Richardson who you might recognise as a stand-up comedian or Him Off That Radio Show.
He’s the cheeriest manic depressive you’ll ever meet (worryingly so – he seems like he could go postal at any minute) and we wanted to pick at his worried brains to see what was going on in there.
And so, we caught up with him for a chat about being miserable, it being illegal to have a million pounds in the bank and the fact that he’d like to be sacked from 8 Out Of 10 Cats as quickly as possible.

Sometimes hecklerspray mines UPN sitcoms for comedic morsels to pillage, pirate and post as if we’d written them ourselves.
Most of the entertainment business does it actually. Nobody knows why – maybe it’s because the scripts on that old channel all seemed to be written by retarded lemurs with a shaky sense of 80s joke delivery. That sort of brilliance has become increasingly difficult to capture, what with the typical progression of time and all.
What’s that now? You disagree with us? You don’t think it’s possible for any responsible person working in the entertainment industry to get any comedic education from anything ever broadcast by UPN? Well you’d be wrong there – CNN still does it all the time.
Well, they’ve done it once anyway. They recently had a crack team of people-apprehenders waiting outside D.L. Hughley‘s gigantic mansion until they found ample opportunity to stuff him into a gigantic potato sack and then offer him tons of money to host a news show for them. We heard Anderson Cooper got started roughly the same way.

Do not buy this DVD if you do not like Jimmy Carr.
That is the swiftest way we can get you away from here and back to rearranging your underwear draw. Of course, such a statement raises two serious concerns: why would anyone who does not like Jimmy Carr want to buy his new stand-up DVD in the first place, and does anyone even bother with an underwear draw these days, let alone rearrange it?
(Re. the first question: Jimmy Carr: Comedian could be gift or a promotional freebie. You might have inadvertently shoplifted the thing by accident.)
So, what you really want to know is will you, the consummate Jimmy Carr hater, the guy who moans every time he appears on some panel show – every time you ever turn on the TV – does a cameo in Two-Point Four Weddings And A Bit Part For Martin Freeman or gets interviewed in a Sunday supplement, will you change your mind about this suited, booted shoulderless man and his sardonic, blisteringly fast wordplay wit just on the basis of seeing this DVD alone? Nope.
(To the second question: try arranging your pants in order of tone and the socks into categories, say dress and sports. If you are a girl and wear girly things, consult a publication with Jennifer Lopez or Anne Hathaway on the cover.)
