Gogglebox

Are these real people? Or are they made in some sort of stereotype factory? The lilt ladies from sarf lahndahn, the gay guys from Brighton, the posh couple the asians etc etc. Who the f**k has that sort of reaction when watching TV? No-one that's who.
If it was actual real people on this shite show and not a bunch of noddy mugs they would be occasionally glancing up at the tv with indifference whilst using their lapop or tablet.

Oh look the ISIL are at it again and we're all going to die of E-BOLA *goes back to facebook, likes a photo*

Read in a paper that the posh couple are looking to get a tv chat show deal. Absolute nobodies.

So, not a fan then?

Sorry. I do shout at the telly, and always have done.

It's based as a human zoo.

 

[beorhthelm]

i frequently rant at the TV. i probably rant at googlebox too.

does it affect your sensibilities that some stereotypes might actually be based in reality?

 

[tinx]

The gay guys from Brighton are hilarious.

After a bit of a dip, I thought it back to its very best last night. Quality TV. (Just don't give any of them their own show) .

When i was over in the UK last April I was round a friends house after the City Ground bonanza and him and his mrs were watching this. I'd never seen it before and thankfully never seen it since. Each to their own but it's absolute garbage of the highest order. They don't make tv like they used to that's for sure. Back in my day you could leave your back door open...

You still can, and you won't need to worry about shit broadcasts when you get back.

Am I right in thinking there's a George on the show, who went on to do Celebrity BB? As Catherine Tate would say, what a load of old shit.

 

[kevo]

It's just about worth watching for Leon, he's good value... but the rest

 

[BadFish]

When are we going to have gogglebox of people watching googlebox?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Its car crash TV of people watching car crash TV, but I watch it..

 

[bhawoddy]

I can't stand most television these days, apart from great series like breaking bad, blacklist etc... And good sport.

Goggle box is my 1 exception. It can be very amusing, especially the German fella.

 

[Luke93]

Will we have a Gogglebox thread every week?

Im sure they were on "4 in a bed" on chanel 4 ages ago and seemed like nice couple (not really watched googkebox)

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Gogglebox is the intellectual's answer to Big Brother.

Quality rant and spot on

It ain't real

 

[footychick]

Naaaa, it's brilliant.

 

[Dave the OAP]

It's good value tv IMHO. Laura nearly had a heart attack when the opinionated woman from brighton said that if nurses were any good they would have trained to be doctors. Her gay son and the Greek Cypriot husband are brilliant too. Gay guys from brighton are hilarious and the vicar is great, although her husbands running battles with the dog is great telly!

The Asian guys from derby seem good fun and of course the old guy and his bickering wife are brilliant.

My favourites apart from the two black girls are the German family, esp the boyfriend who doesn't say anything but you just know he is going to murder them one day!

This weeks one about the dogs in vietnam being stolen and sold to restaurants was harrowing in the extreme! Very upsetting
