I loved these two for the longest time, I feel this show would've been ten times better a bit earlier in their careers, but came when both were petty over exposed. Some of the episodes didn't land in this which is fine, you don't always love every episode in anything, however this England one needs to be the death of this show, it's lost shy credibility.
Firstly comedians shouldn't be so scripted and blatantly suck up to people it's just sad to see, romesh kissing up to southgate with a such a depressing bit of television, avoiding any question that has any even remotely contentious point to it, even the one they did to Pickford was clearly after the conference ended.
Romesh has now just said yes to too much, this, LOTO, Ranganation,Travel show, avoidance amongst others is just too much, his quality has dipped as he's lost any edge he once had, he's now that annoying PC nice guy comedian who only recycles the same jokes. Not one thing he did here was funny or new, did the silly dance at a pointless sporting event, the bad at sport bit and the constant self deprecating rubbish.
The whole humour was on over exaggerating every word and moment and making it sound far better than what you were watching, the rob football bit was decent but the silly voice overs about "being allowed back" or can't talk to other players or the many others for literally doing nothing even remotely edgy was embarrassing, it's a shame comedy has come to this, if you rewatched this with just subtitles you'd think what is this garbage?
It's scripted, pre planned and washed, it's fake and cringe and them desperately trying to laugh awkwardly like anything they were doing was controversial etc. There was that one bit with the grass comment, a normal non awkward comment about grass, it wasn't awkward but then there was nearly 5 minutes given to them over exaggerating and miss quoting it for supposed entertainment?
Either bring back an edge or just stop, tired of seeing sell out Comedians pander.
