If you say 'Am I Bovvered?' you are a moron

If you, YES YOU reading this, use the phrase "Am I bovvered?" in order to appear witty and clever to your friends, family, schoolmates or co-workers you are an idiot.
Sorry for breaking it to you but you are a dribbling, gormless simpleton so devoid of wit or invention you need to repeat an already frustratingly derivative, overused "catchphrase" to convey "how funny you are".
Repeating catchphrases from "The Catherine Tate show" is akin to having a sh!t in the street because you saw a dog do it.
I believe that any show that needs to rely on repitition as it's sole source of humour ("Little Britain", "The Catherine Tate Show" and the latest abomination "Tittybangbang") is about as appealing as cracking my skull open with a plastic ladle. Therefore I choose not to watch them.
However, avoiding the catchphrases is much, much harder. Everywhere I turn people are obnoxiously spouting these lame phrases always at an unnecesarily loud volume while their equally dense companions laugh and repeat the phrase back like a sort of bird call for morons.
Dullards on TV, teenage girls on buses, idiots in the pub, middle aged women...next time I hear one of you saying "Am I bovvered?", I'm going to have to kill you, sorry but you've left me no choice.

PS. Before any of you Tate fans (shudder) reply to this message by typing simply "Am I bovvered?" or any of its offshoots ("Does my face look bovvered" etc), don't. You may as well change your userI.D to Yes_i_am_a_moron_who_cant_think_for_myself and get it over with. It WON'T make you look funny or clever, it WILL expose you as a buffoon.

Thanks for listening, this rant has postponed my aneurysm for at least a couple of days.

domthewelsh, have you got a fan club i can join. this is probably the funniest post ive ever read, i admire your desire to prove that catherine tate is completely untalented and unoriginal but i also think ur underestimating the sheer amount of stupid people in the world. You can post the most brilliant and insightful comments all you like but noone will ever pay any attention and will just throw back tired one liners at you. But seriously keep it up Dom i would say your ten times funnier than catherine tate but that would be a great insult as i find more talent, skill and wit on the bottom of my shoes after ive walked through a pile of s hit than in a lifetime of her brand of 'comedy'

[–] bigmouth365 17 years ago

Why, thank you.

At last, someone with an ounce of common sense.

Sigh...sometimes I am genuinely terrified by the amount of dullards dribbling across the surface of this earth.

I was considering having a pop at Little Miss Joselyn next but that show is so terrible I just feel sorry for it*

* However, I still think anyone who finds THAT disgaceful piece of aberrational "comedy" even vaguely amusing should be put to death.
Preferably by my angry fist.
Sod it, I'm posting...

Catherine Tate is (however funny you find her) not.

Just because you don't find her funny, it doesn't mean she's not. People obviously find Catherine Tate funny, otherwise she wouldn't be famous.

The only person who's really 'bovvered' about this whole post is you 'domthewelsh', because you're the one who keeps replying to it.

[–] bigmouth365 17 years ago

Read the whole post moron.

I was replying to an inference that Catherine tate was an "extraordinary" talent.

Which as I stated, however funny you consider the woman she is not "extraordinary" and I defy you to argue otherwise.

You are welcome to find her funny, if that sort of derivative, repetitive joke-free comedy is your bag, but let's not get carried away.

"Extraordinary" she ain't.

Oh and by the way, why wouldn't I respond to replies to a thread I started?

Dullard.

Yes because fame = quality? Let me guess you think that Britney is the zenith of musical achievement and Eastenders is worthy of an oscar right?

This show is dross designed to appeal to chavs who need to have the same catchphrase rammed into their thick skulls over and over and over so they can regurgitate it whilst sitting on the bus in their Kappa tracksuits with no tickets.

What was her name, this girl that broke your heart by telling you that she "was not bovvered"? Tate did not make this phrase up....It, like most of her comedy, is an interpretation of the world that she sees around her. It is no different than comedians around the world making fun of Americans that say "like" every other word. It is a sad truth and certainly grates on my nerves when I encounter someone that is guilty of this. I STILL laugh when comedians make fun of it because it is a sad truth of life that these people really DO exist. What you are pissy with are the people that Tate is making fun of. If it TRULY bovvers you then you should actually get the joke......

"If it TRULY bovvers you then you should actually get the joke......"

Oh I get it, I just don't find it funny or clever.
And your argument about Catherine Tate using the phrase as a device by which to make fun of chav types would be far more persuasive if it wasn't for the fact that Lauren is, more often than not, clearly depicted as the "hero" in the piece, getting one over on people smarter than her by refusing to answer them. What a GREAT piece of satire.
If this charcter was, week-in week-out, torn apart verbally and humiliated because of her lack of knowledge or means to argue intelligently, THEN you would have a point.
She is not targetted or ridiculed or for her moronic ability to spout only her one solitary reply, she is loved for it.
She is used as a device to make idiots laugh plain and simple.

I have to say I have never in all my years been so utterly entertained by a thread on any board anywhere on the whole "interweb." Catchprhase parroting muppets I think I love you. Domthewelsh I think I want to have your babies and am to that end presently attempting to grow a womb.

I just wish I had stumbled accross this *beep* two years ago.

Dom, wherever you are, god bless you and all your welsh spelndourousness.

[–] kiwi_queenbean 16 years ago

I see. Domthewelsh, your face looks bovverd to me. Seriously though, there are a lot more things worthy to be bovvered about, especially in this day and age. The ice caps are melting, the economy is in the cr@pper, epidemics of all sorts are on the rise, poverty still rages on...
Just turn your Andre Rieu up a bit louder on your mp3, skip sweetly down the streets (or tiptoe through the tulips if you will), and just ignore it. It hardly warrants breaking in to a sweat, or in you case, having an aneurysm over.

Remember, different strokes for different folks!

You calling me a moron? Are you disrespecting my family? Are you saying my mother stupid? Are you saying my dad is a mental? Am I bovvered though? Look at my face is it bovvered? Face .. bovvered ... mental ... face ... Am I bovvered!?

Catherine Tate ain't bovvered, Lauren ain't bovvered and we ain't bovvered.

Get off of your soap box, YOU are the idot, it's a TV SHOW!!

and Catherine is an extraordinary talent so....

Face. Look. Bovvered. Am I bovvered? No, cause I ain't even bovvered!
