Watching the BRITs Odd how a night billed as a celebration of British music seems to be one of those US “roasts” of successful artists Some of it seems a bit nasty rather than “bantz” Just me? Is it seen as punching up at success? Or “humbling”? - ThreadSky

Watching the BRITs

Odd how a night billed as a celebration of British music seems to be one of those US “roasts” of successful artists

Some of it seems a bit nasty rather than “bantz”

Just me? Is it seen as punching up at success? Or “humbling”?

Whitehall is not funny at all.

Feels like he tries to say the thing some imagined tabloid reading viewer is thinking. Somewhere between jealous bitchiness and the sort of troll comment that breaks people’s mental health as the words play on loop at 4am

The thirstiest, most desperate comedian this side of James Corden. But with added upper-class wealth ick.

He thinks he Ricky Gervais, who in turn, thinks he's Stewart Lee.

Whitehall is always excruciating but the KSI stuff is just weird. (Especially as I’m just flicking in and out, who knows how many times he’s mentioned him)
Anyway, big up The Last Dinner Party.

He seems increasingly like the Jacob Rees Mogg of “comedy”
