I'm not trying to take the mickey out of your writing. I've taken the time to comment on sketches you've put up, which i don't bother to do for many people. I think you write well. I also think that most of your material is highly derivative. This isn't an attempt to damn you with faint praise, it's just you're not a very funny guy. Even your posts are not funny. The best you can do is snide. See above. Funny people are funny all the time. They can't help it. Producers are far more interested in people who are funny than people who can write.
There is probably a future in TV for you - perhaps as a comedy performer. But not as a writer. Your funny stuff is not original and your original stuff is not funny.
Ha! Have to say that I found that quite funny, even though you were really trying to rip me to shreds; the way you throw insults, and they are insults, as though its a fine and grown up thing to do, not just rude and arrogant. As for producers, and me not having a future in writing, im currently involved in the writing of a sketch show with a major company, who are also showing interest in a full show of mine; whilst another is talking about pitching a sit-com of mine to Channel four-so Id say your views on me are bang on the money!!
Why some people think its Ok to talk to people like this is beyond me, I never had a go at you, my original comment was supposed to be light hearted. Im sure you think that what youve written above is a fine and reasonable comment, but its not, its just insulting. If thats what you want to do, then carry on.
And Ill stop here with this; its supposed to be a thread about a show; not two fools trading insults!!
