Might as well just stay single forever

Name the last funny comedy itv has made.
All they’re good for is shitty soap operas and fucking shitty reality tv
>Too often the writing room is not sensitively run. It can be aggressive and slightly bullying.
Man, they are not even hiding their shame anymore. Just die already you dinosaur
>Too often the writing room is not sensitively run.
The fuck
Never heard of ITV is it a bong channel?
the only time i've ever watched itv was kids show back when i was a child
>Saskia Schuster
What a surprise with a name like that.
Yes, it used to be normal, quite good, recently became extremely NPC
In the US, they would get sued, as gender is protected class. But in the feminazi Uk, this is some OK shit.
Know to bother with anything but BBS and Channel4 now.
Yeah, like you brownie ass can get a date.
You'll never be part of our glorious Volk nor permitted to degenerate it with your seed, user.
Does ITV have anything worthwhile to watch except for Corrie
However, all females writing teams are ok.
>Does ITV have anything worthwhile
I don't think it's unfair to call ITV a stupid people's channel. Always has been.
No they aren't. Name one instance that worked.
yeah affirmative action and forced gender (in)equality quotas aren't a thing in the US right?
This news story will be their last best joke yet
Do you need license to watch ITV?
In TV, it failed horribly because nothing with a pussy not named 'Tina Fey' has made it work.
You’re not my type darling. Send me a nice twink. Although you’re OK for breeding I guess.
Women are the worst for bullying though
True, but the Vagina Cult can hear no evil!
>watching ITV programming in 2019
Reminder that outside of the odd drama or murder mystery, ITV has always been trash.
Yes. Unless the license fee is punctually paid you will be immediately imprisoned, where other prisoners will rape you.
I don't think I've watched anything on ITV that isn't sport in the last 5 years.
this
The Chase and anything from Bant & Kek and Stephen Mulhern.
Speaking of Bant & Kek, remember when the (((BBC))) tried to push these two niggers as the next big thing for all of five minutes?
Just hire a tranny.
Checkmate, ITV.
>But in the feminazi Uk, this is some OK shit.
Fun fact: The exceptions granted to hiring this way were put in place by the European Union and used to only be reserved for specialist and sensitive professions.
ITV is prole control
THESE BLOODY BREXITS
>ten the writing room is not sensitively run. It can be aggressive and slightly bullying."
nothing's funnier than being sensitive
Schuster more like SHYSTER
Yes. It's public television like BBC while simultaneously being the "independent" "alternative"
Isn't there a biological reason why men > women for comedy? Something about historically men had to either be:
rich
good looking/strong
good story teller/tell jokes
to get a women and they only had to be good looking which is why men throughout history men > women at comedy?
>Isn't there a biological reason why men > women for comedy?
I believe it's called brain structure.
unironically what was she thinking?
Honestly the difference between men and women in terms of comedy is so stark that the answer has to be genetic.
Not isn't. It's funded by advertising. I mean so is the BBC but ITV doesn't get any of that sweet license fee. That's for the BBC only.
Not that they worked, just that the people writing the articles about equality don't raise a fuss over all-female anything needing to have males forced in for 'diversity'.
That's what they try to imply but you're wrong. BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 are all publicly funded.
>all male writing rooms banned
>suddenly all comedy shows stop being funny
>women aren't fu-
and so the decline begins
>>suddenly all comedy shows stop being funny
where have you been the last few years?
Being a comedian is almost like being a professional attention whore.
To do this as a man, one must develop comedy. For a woman, it's far simpler.
>thinking
Come on user
I haven't watched tv since 2010, not even a glimpse at one
I haven't seen even an advert in 9 years, not a clue whats even on tv Just every Christmas people praise supermarket adverts and ask me if I gave seen it yet because it made them choke up
no I haven't and I haven't seen that moon walking pony either
I can forgive that anime weirdo because I'm pretty sure that was just some amateur failure but to this day Nadia Kamil still claims she is a comic.
That's not true. Show evidence. It completely goes against the remit of the license fee if true.
Wait, there are comedies on ITV?
50% of TV ads are people singing and doing silly dances, I can't stand how crass and unimaginative it is
Why not just say they banned comedy?
some nice lampshades in that picture
>unironically what was she thinking?
What were they all thinking? Didn't you realise when one dumb bitch put the ball in the wrong basket the other team just instantly when along with it and changed their ends.
Whole court full of retards.
I'd say women belong in the kitchen but legitimately men are better there too so women really belong nowhere.
Name a single good comedy ITV have commissioned since Rising Damp
No heroics and plebs, but that's not saying much to be fair. They're not that good.
I saw this fing on ITV the other week, said if she plays with her hair shes probably keen
>itv
>Comedy
go hire some more niggers my yank bud
