The source of humor stems from the double meaning behind the phrase, although use of the name without prior knowledge of the joke could also be funny. You would think, but the opening days of GB News have been plagued by amateurishness: bad lighting, terrible sound, stupid words and a total inability to spot off-colour puns.ĭo they have any plans to tackle the problem? Yes, they’ve introduced two new presenters, Dixie Normus and Phil McCavity.ĭo say: “I’d like to speak to Mr Neil about wokeness, please. A gag name is a pseudonym intended to be humorous through its similarity to both a real name and a term or phrase that is funny, strange, or vulgar. I always imagined cynical, rightwing culture warriors to be more savvy. Actually Nigel Farage was recently persuaded to read out a birthday message to Hugh Janus on Cameo. No, there wasn’t.ĭidn’t they do this on The Simpsons? Yes – Bart made regular calls to Moe’s bar asking to speak to, among others, IP Freely, Amanda Huggenkiss, Anita Bath and Heywood U Kuddlemee. When I worked as a supply teacher there was a boy in the class called Mike Oxlong. Only a few hours earlier, the former Brexit party MEP Alexandra Phillips read an email from someone called “Mike Oxlong”.īut they could be genuine names. Yes? And? You may need to say his name out loud. In response to an item about children’s toys, presenter Michelle Dewberry read a response from one Mike Hunt. But its opinion shows are at least popular with a certain kind of caller. Where can I avoid this channel? Advertisers are asking the same question. “In fact, Hector has been banished from the studio.”
What does it have instead? “Passionate presenters with character, flair, attitudes, opinion and, yes, a sense of humour,” said Neil on opening night.ĭo you have any examples of that humour? “Nobody will be allowed to hector,” he said a few seconds later.
It’s a new “anti-woke” news channel fronted by Andrew Neil, but without any news. Really? But who would be so gullible in this day and age? The presenters of GB News. Don’t worry – prank calls are making a comeback. I miss that sort of wholesome, good-natured humour.
