Although "Pheonix nights" was hysterical and "Paddy and Max" was funny (in parts). Peter Kay is the defintion of a one trick pony.
Slightly OT (can i be OT in the OT forum?)
Does anyone watch "The Thick of it"?.
possibly the funniest thing i have seen on telly in five years.
I work in Bolton and on the occasions you go out into town you will always get one nutter shouting 'Garlic Bread'??? The Boltoners all turn and laugh....!!!! I mean c'mon, it was mildly funny 7 years ago, but for gawd sake!!!!

Only a couple of week's ago while I was in Morrison's the guy in front of me's mobile phone went off with the same tune that was used by Dom Joly in trigger happy Tv, and my first thought was to shout " HELLO!!!! NAH IT'S RUBBISH!!!!"
I didn't of course, but does anyone else when hearing that tune imediatley think back to that show. I use to love Trigger Happy TV it was a great show.
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
I'm not accusing anyone doing in this thread, but alot of people have jumped on the ''Peter Kay isn't funny any more'' bandwagon when really they probably think he is and are just too stubborn to admit it.
I wasn't a massive fan of Paddy and Max and he did go quiet for a bit, but he was good last night and he's done bits and bobs recently leading up to his new shows that have been pretty funny.
The problem with PK, and I was a huge fan of his early stuff, in particular 'That Peter Kay Thing', is that he's done no new material for such a long time and his standup has been released in about 6 different packages but basically with the same routine. It makes him appear to be telling the same gags constantly and you'd get sick of more or less any comedian if you just saw the one stand up routine over and over. The proof of his quality is if he comes up with something decent in his new shows but I have to say I can't see why there was such a big clamour for tickets this time around. If he picks a random food item to declare his catchphrase this time I don't think I'll even bother picking up the first (of many) DVD releases of it.
As an aside there's a pretty funny micky take cartoon strip of him in the latest Viz - Peter Kayve Man. Primordial Soup??
I agree mostly with JTB, he hasn't done anything new for a while and comedians like Michael McIntyre have come along and taken his "observational" comedy mantel.
I really hope his new stuff is funny, but after "cheesecake" followed "garlic bread", I will defer judgement for now.
