TV producer Richard Osman slams The Bear’s comedy award wins – “there isn’t a single joke in that show … it is stealing awards … why not make it Best Sports Event?”
This guy is a fucking moron then. It’s not a comedy but there is plenty of humor in it.

Almost like Hollywood awards shows are a joke

I haven’t paid attention to these stupid awards shows in more than 20 years. Awards based on the whims of people who happen to have a vote.

Now we’re listening to producers?

It shouldn’t be a comedy series category but it’s full of jokes. Pretty much any scene with the faks is comedic, the scene in season 2 where Sugar says she’s pregnant as the wall falls down and Richie shouts ‘I fuckin knew it!’ could appear in any sitcom. Also ‘insulting to the comedy community’ cmon lol

Tyrion had that joke about the beehive. Is Game of Thrones a comedy?

While there have been jokes in all the seasons, I actually felt like s3 ramped up the humor quite a bit. It sometimes felt kinda forced, almost like they were trying to justify the comedy categorization

This is the guy that produces 8 out of 10 Cats.
Jimmy Carr isn’t unfunny but calling him a comedian is a stretch to me. There are times in Planet Earth when the animals do funny shit and I wouldn’t call that a comedy and there are more of those moments in Planet Earth than there are in 8 out of 10 Cats.

Can we please keep the slamming limited to politics? Awards are meant to be pure. Let’s keep them that way.

Just because there aren’t any “Baddum-Pshh”‘ style jokes with punchlines, but that doesn’t mean the show isn’t funny. Because it’s hilarious.
