Matt Lucas as Big Brother last night

**eirebhoy** · 04/01/2008, 1:49 PM

I'm no great fan of big brother but that show last night was absolutely hilarious imo.

Basically Matt Lucas was Big Brother. All the housemates are "exceptionally talented" and between the ages of 18-21. The first person in was a politician from Edinburgh. Lucas called him to the diary room. He had to put in an earpiece and his task was to do everything Matt said.

The guy just seemed like such a nice person and it was clearly very awkward for him to do the tasks. He had to just do random stuff like stroke a guys neck, do Irish dancing out of the blue, fall to the floor with a cramp. He was made feel like a complete outsider and you had to feel sorry for him.

Maybe it's just my sense of humour but I think it's a must see. Repeated today at 5.25 on E4.

Honestly I don't think I've ever laughed out loud so much watching TV on my own in my life. We've all got a different sense of humour though. I certainly wouldn't be the type to laugh out loud at the likes of friends or the simpsons, as much as I enjoy those shows. That last night was my type of comedy.

A guy that likes Friends surely not.

Hate Big Bro with a passion but, I think Matt Lucas is hilarious so I watched it out of curiosity. Ill be tuning in for the next one now. Absolutely hilarious.
I though it was great tv.

Who is next celeb to take over?

Thought it was a bit strange but couldnt stop watching and laughing. the Scots guy took it well too, fair play to him! Very funny stuff and I'll probably keep watching. That Jade one really doesnt have an IQ of 180-something does she? she seems as thick as that other infamous Jade....

Why are you eating your ironing?
Were you using potato starch?

I'm still cracking up watching the repeat.

He got so confused listening to Matt that when he was asked what instruments he plays he just said "I play". 2 seconds later and he continued the sentence.

yeah really enjoyed it. Some really interesting young people and it is good to see that none of them smoke and are very ambitious. Better role models to have on the box than alot of the "characters" they have had in bb in recent years.

Love Anthony (the boxer) but maybe its just coz he is looks wise the most perfect human being ever to walk this earth. hubba hubba.

Also like the slightly posh geeky racing driver. yum.

And quite a shallow one at that

I think Matt Lucas is hilarious

Was actually going to give it a look (what with being flu riddled) until I saw he was involved.

Despise him.

Right up there with Bo' Selecta in the "Success as a mirror on how crap our society is" stakes

Magicme, would you honestly call any of those contestants "role models", my gawwwd if i had children i certainly wouldn't want them looking up to those self-inflated ego-titical gombeens. Btw that black haired circus one is savage, looks awful horny as well. puro yer one looks like an asian ms piggy!

I think most people in their 20's are arrogant and think that they have the world sussed out so these guys are no real different only that they have the right to feel a bit smug as they have achieved so much!
