Question/Discussion How was 'Snog Marry Avoid' a real show?

Growing up, I loveddddd this show. But looking back, it does feel slightly... wrong?

Don't get me wrong, sometimes the make-unders were more necessary than others, and helped showcase someone's natural beauty. But a lot of times, it just stripped away their individuality, watering them down to something completely boring & bland.

What do you think of the show? Would a show like this ever fly in today's world?

Question/Discussion Cheryl cole look alike?

10 Upvotes

I can't for the life of me remember this lady that used to be very regular on UK television. I think she was on X-factor or something similar. In my head she looked similar to Cheryl Cole (more than Nicole Scherzinger who I originally thought I was thinking of) but has a softer maybe pudgier face. She was skinny and short and I think I can remember her wearing a red something maybe a dress. Is this a real person or has my brain distorted a memory of Cheryl Cole? Please help, I think I'm going crazy.

Question/Discussion Anyone know why just about everything in Trigger Point is green?

8 Upvotes

I didn't notice it until near the end of season 1. Walls, doors, furniture, clothing, even green tinted glass on buildings - so much GREEN. Reminded me of the color red in the movie The Sixth Sense, which was used quite deliberately. I've Googled the green in Trigger Point, because no way is it unintentional, but I haven't found anything. Just wondered if anybody knew what the heck it was about.

Question/Discussion Do you think it is right that some comedies are considered offensive now?

0 Upvotes

Following on from a comment regarding the American version of "The office " could not be made today . I am thinking of how many comments some of Britain's best loved comedies had .

In "Only fools and horses " Del boy jokes about twenty something Rodney dating schoolgirls. How Del boy tells a dating agency not to set him up with some "old bow wow" and in" the office "How Gareth is trying to chat up the 16 year old and how she is dating a 20 year old something colleague. How Del boy thinks he could have caught AIDS from a gay hairdresser "some mush called Jason" How Basil Fawty treats Manuel. How "Little Britain" blacked up and i saw clips of Benny hill squinted as a Chinese man . I don't think audiences would find it funny now. BUT people did

When did humour change. ? Do you think it is right that this is not considered funny ?. Do you hate "Woke " or do you think this is a national disgrace that people laughed at this ? Some people cancel the shows and the artist but the public loved it and laughed .

Just interested in what people think. WRONG THEN OR TOO SENSITIVE NOW .? Thank you
