The Stumble Awards 2013

Welcome to The Stumblies, the annual BCG awards honouring achievements in comedy promotion.

Trophies go to all those first time visitors fortunate enough to "stumble upon", "come across", "accidentally find" or otherwise "happen by" sketch material on YouTube, then be struck by an overwhelming urge to sign up to the forum in order to share their momentuous discovery.

Honours for 2012 went to:

Comedy Christmas song (this poster was so excited by their find they accidentally assumed the identity of the author in one post!): https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/26150#P932042

Gangnam parody (courtesy of the eternally fascinated RachRight): https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/26545#P947525

Jake Thundergroin (thanks to "pathetic fanboy" Jim Gatts for this): https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/25941#P926289

Baker Brothers (brothers in arms!): https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/25840#P923304

Be sure to nominate your personal favourites for consideration in this year's awards and make sure that the most shameless spam of 2013 gets its due!

Much as the Academy would like to include a category for such honours, it cannot be seen to encourage personal attacks on this or any other forum.

In response to the overwhelming demand for such a category, the Academy now recognises the "Cheeky F**king Chancer" award for services to unabashed begging (a trophy retroactively claimed for the years 2006-Present by one David Bussell).

RachRight seems to be a good candidate for the Stumblies Lifetime Achievement Award in a few years time. Insistency pays.

I would like to see the creation of the "Will you ever f**king listen?" award.
Awarded to the poster who relentlessly defends his work in the face of almost universal criticism.
And I vote for whoever it was did that muscle-man/martial arts moc-doc.

Nominee for the "Will you ever f**king listen" award.

I'm sorry, but this particular post dates back to 2011. The Academy will include the "Will you ever f**king listen" category for this year's submissions though.

Surely some sort of mention - like when the old guy who hasn't made a movie in decades shambles onto the stage just so they can give him something before he keels over?
No?
Nothing?
Fair enough.

It's well worth a re-read though.

Perhaps if the creator dies we can honour him In Memoriam, but otherwise no cigar.
