The Y Factor

Hit or shit?

FX: OVER THE TOP TV TALENT SHOW MUSIC.

PRESENTER
So, join us after the break on... 'The Y Factor' when we'll be asking 'why o why' you voted to keep middle aged karaoke king and grandma's favourite Dominic Beardshaw... when there was so much more talent on offer.... We'll also have the sing-off between the incredible Alison Brown, the big girl with the big hair and the voice of a horny angel who will, I'm sure, excel in what, let's face it, will be her final performance, singing the Carole King classic, 'Natural Woman.' She'll be up against barely legal and shockingly awful triplets 'Love me, Love my Sister' and their version of Madonna's 'Hanky Panky'.

FX: A BIG AUDIENCE ROAR.

And please try and keep your skirts on this time girls. You're not Bucks Fizz.

FX: ANOTHER AUDIENCE ROAR.

PRESENTER
The suspense is killing me.

The problem with mocking X factor as Peter Kay found out.

Is that the shameless are beyond satire.

Otherwise nicely constructed.

As above, a pointless satire. you aren't exposing or highlighting anything that we (or more importantly, the people you are satirising) don't know already.

Peter Kaye only got a laugh from me when he flew disabled girls across the studio on wires.......and if you need to go that far to find the humour you are better of picking a different subject. It's like trying to make a Ferrari faster....easier to try it on a Fiesta!
