Nothing says Hogmany the yearly tv sketch show. Why are they always so awful? I’ve never heard anyone say they like it. At best I’ve heard someone say it was good 20 years ago. They have the production values of Doctor Who, specifically Jon Pertwee’s version? Im half expecting the shop window mannequins to cone to life and start shooting everyone while watching.
Plus it just feels like they are made for 60 year olds who don’t know anyone born after John Lennon was murdered. Why do we still have “wee weegie wifies” characters in this day and age? May as well have people riding around on penny farthings. How is Wee Jimmy Crankie still a thing? Why is Scottish TV stuck in the 80s? Am I the only person under 40 who still watches normal TV these days? So they just assume everyone watching has brick sized mobile phone and elephant sizes shoulder pads?
Those ridiculous phoney “The Broons/Oor Wullie” accents the luvies put on. Do people find that funny? I don’t.
Honestly it’s like if my grandpa watched family guy and tried to do his own version. Just watch this clip and tell me it don’t feel like a family guy cut away gag.
I have to say, my wife and I couldn’t stop laughing at this sketch from the Queen of the New Year Hogmanay show.
Tears were rolling down our faces and I had just taken a drink of wine, but couldn’t get it to go down and had to spit it out for laughing. pic.twitter.com/V3dzvcWvfo— Richard Tracey (@Jigsaw_Sequence) January 1, 2023

Only an excuse used to be good, as did chewing the fat (I think they did one at hogmanay?) but they havent been good in god knows how long
Can’t remember but the offering last year but it was better than previous ones with Only an Excuse which was utter shite. They had to tell you who Jonathan Watson was impersonating or you wouldn’t know.
Glad that got binned.
To each their own, I like Queen of the New Year. Particularly the granda giving his grandson a fiver sketch
