If we win the vote, then it certainly won't be the first time that Matt Stott has been in that winning position. At school, he was voted 'boy with the smile most likely to melt an old woman's heart'.
Vote for Bussell, Ricketts and Stott Page 19
That and his penis and penchant for the older woman.
Quote: David Bussell @ November 9 2008, 1:57 PM GMTThanks for the votes, guys, but let's not hate on Ashton and George. They're just a couple of kids having a laugh. They may not be to everyone's taste but they have genuine fans out there. And of the two things we heard them say at the press call last week, both times they were funny.
Of course if they beat us I'll personally drop them into the gears of a combine harvester.
The 'it'/ 'tag' running gag in their clip has also been done before. By Catherine Tate. 
I noticed another film in the final is really an audio sketch.
Ashton and George will get through because they're at school and therefore have a huge network of potential voters.
I'm not sure whether their brand of comedy will work on stage though. You are allowed to just have a video projected on stage though, so I guess they'll do that.
Thanks again for all the support, chumrades.
I just looked at the voting table to see that we're clinging on by our fingernails still, so if for any reason you've not voted, now's the time. Please click on Ben's signature link above and hit "chew" - if not for me, then the BSG. Hmmm, that's kind of catchy. Sing along now...
"If not for me! Do it for the BSG!"
"If not for me! Do it for the BSG!"
"If not for me! Do it for the BSG!"
(repeat to fade)
I've voted again, and spat on a few of the other rubbish ones. I think I've seen all these so many times now.
I've chewed Bussell, Stott & Ricketts again.
Gee, I'd prefer a Wrigley's, mom.. <oft said by small boys to their paedophile parent>
Mother of God, we are getting our arses handed to us in this thing! We dropped three places to number 9 in the charts yesterday!
Please, if there's anyone dilly-dallying, we need your votes right away. You don't need to join MySpace or anything, you just need to go here...

...and click "chew".
It won't take you ten seconds. Well, unless you want to actually watch the video you're voting for...

That's plain crazy. I haven't even watched the thing all the way through yet, I'm a busy, sexy man.
PLEASE VOTE FOR US! If you don't Ben said he would 'do things' to us. I'm scared.
Well, I've chewed and I think the other JM's have chewed. We want you to win so we can can get an invite to the after party. I know you'll be having whores and coke and such, etc. (natch)

More likely Dewars and coke.

Wow, and Ivan Brackenbury is below you at number 10, and I thought he was really good!
Maybe only shite acts do well on this thing, this would explain why we got knocked out first round! Your sketch may be too sophisticated for this audience boys, maybe you should've got your shirts off!
*off to chew Bussell again*
Up and at 'em anyway!!!

It really isn't a test of talent at this point; it's just how many people you can get to vote for you. Which is a shame really. It sort of doesn't matter how good or bad your material is, as evidenced by the table placings at the moment.
In fact, I would say the best three are currently the bottom three.

Weird. I would have thought he would have had a bigger following, given his if.com award, BBC radio appearances, etc. There again look at Rick Astley...
That's why I never like comps with voting systems like this.
It's all to do with popularity... same as Strictly Come Dancing.
