I'm never sure whether Avid Merrion has rehearsed his interviews beforehand, or if his guests truly have no idea of what to expect.
Favourite moments from tonight include his take off of Richard & Judy doing You Say We Pay, asking Peter Andre "Is that your come face?" and Peter Andre to Avid saying "Agh! You really do have a hard on I can feel it!"
I know a lot of people think his show is crap, especially his new series, but I still think it's quite funny.

The only thing that raised a smile for me was the 2 second appearance of Kelly Fucking Osbourne.
The rest was utter shite. The saddest thing for me is that I don''t find Mel B funny. She used to make me laugh without even having to say anything. The whole Patsy Kensit set up just doesn't work. Where's her booook or Our Phoenix?
The same goes for Craig David - ou est le Kes? The whole comedy of CD was that Kes was meant to be so foul mouthed.
I just find the whole thing totally distasteful now. Theres way too many knob and semen gags. I know there was loads before but they were in relative moderation to this.
Come back Kelly O, Dirrty Christina, The Week In Bits and the REAL Mel B who was desperate to get the Spice Girls back together. I would love to see her as if she was on Broadway doing Rent. Now THAT would be funny.
And Avid should only be seen in the credits. He isn't amusing.

Agree with Monsta, there was hardly anything which raised a smile other than those fake Channel 4 ads.
Was anyone else expecting Mel B to put the toothbrush in her mouth as she walked off? That was such an obvious gag, I wonder why he didn't do it? Also, I didn't like the lack of continuity between The Week In Bits and Jordan's Dirty Tricks. New Jordan is just the same as his David Beckham character but with big fake breasts.
It seems to me that he's not being very current with the shalebrities he's parodying. I know he did Nadia last night (too, too obvious) but why was Dennis Norden in there? What was Kat Slater all about? I know it wasn't ever cutting edge satire but surely it's more or less Spitting Image for the heat generation? Where's the bite?

He's trying too hard to be rude and vulgar but it's just not funny. Some of the jokes were slightly funny the first week but yesterday he just repeated them really - like craig talking about wood and shafting, the whole backstage of his tv show etc etc etc

And alos I agree that the Avid Merrion bits don't work. Especially when there's too many of them. Leigh Francis should stick to the latex masked celebrities. One of my favourite lines is "This is Pat, she's posh as fook and i'm as common as mook." Mel B has always been my favourite. I've never found Craig David funny though I used to find Michael Jackson more funny in 1 & 2. |

The Britney Spears ciggie commercial made me do what can only be described as a "guffaw". Quite, quite sick - but hoo-larious. Can't wait to try the Spicy Beef flavour. |

Can't wait to try the Spicy Beef flavour. that was britney? i had no idea, until now of course. the i love wood is rather funny, or maybe it's just the fact that craig phillips is in sight. minus the shirt, add the baby + a blonde girl with big boobs like so  bitch. |

I thought it was much better than last week.
Bits I laughed at:
Richard and Judy
Brintey Spears
Kat Slater
The rest wasn't that funny. Not even the Jordan bit. The craig daivd was funny at all, but i never did find that part funny.
