Gogglebox

[Paxton Dazo]

Anyone who don't rate this didn't hear that bird from Brighton come out with "I've had a bit of Greek in me" infront of her tedious kids.

What a woman, Top TV.

Opened this thinking wtf is a gogglebox........ is it really a tv show where 'big brother type nobodies' (aka modern celebs) watch tele and you watch them watching it?



Seriously??

 

[Norman Potting]

According to Wikipedia it is a "...British observational doucumentary..". From the comments here I think I would rather spend an evening trying to nail my ear to a plank than watch it.

Will we have a Gogglebox thread every week?

No, only on international breaks/matches I reckon....

Took me a while to get the habit, Leon & June are my favs, the Asian family are good and even the Brighton Gays, who I thought I'd hate, are pretty good.

What happened to the Essex crew of George & his Parents? Not so keen on the north london family, annoying kids, but great when the father fell asleep mid setance, woke up a second or two later and couldn't understand why everybody was laughing. Have done that!

 

[SussexHoop]

This weeks one about the dogs in vietnam being stolen and sold to restaurants was harrowing in the extreme! Very upsetting

Followed by one of the hairdressers saying he'd be tempted to try it if it was served in Black Bean sauce ... which made me laugh!

the Essex crew were dumped after their son went on celebrity(sic) big brother

Or did the production team have a premonition they might have a family of UKippers in Clacton

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Ah right, thanks.

One of the brighton chaps is a hairdresser in Hurstpierpoint, so they are real people!

Er, yes, but ref the OP still a bit of a stereotype....!

 

[dazzer6666]

Are these real people? Or are they made in some sort of stereotype factory? The lilt ladies from sarf lahndahn, the gay guys from Brighton, the posh couple the asians etc etc. Who the f**k has that sort of reaction when watching TV? No-one that's who.
If it was actual real people on this shite show and not a bunch of noddy mugs they would be occasionally glancing up at the tv with indifference whilst using their lapop or tablet.

Oh look the ISIL are at it again and we're all going to die of E-BOLA *goes back to facebook, likes a photo*

Te be fair, i quite often have their sort of reactions while I am watching them. Is the next series 'gogglebox of people watching gogglebox'
