The background music, the drawn out descriptions, the twitchy camera/editing, the one-word-at-a-time subtitles, the 30sec episodic packages. God, this is perfect satire for how cringe YT essays have become. Couldn't even make it to the end, I was so put-off. Nice work, my friend.

Or the couple who only have themselves and a dog to accommodate, desperately want to swap their 5-bed, 3-bath detached for something bigger buy only have £1.6m to spend...!!!
What gets me is the bit in Grand Designs re-visit a year afterwards when the couple opens the door and just this wave of smugness comes out and hits the presenter. Just once, I want the re-visit to show the farmhouse conversion project has failed, they didn't get the planning permission to use the original timber from the Mary Rose, and the smug couple are living in a tent and using a bucket for a toilet. But hasn't happened so far.
Surely a way to save on funeral expenses? Go on the cruise and wear a t-shirt saying, "If I die, just chuck me overboard". There's a back print saying, "Please check I'm dead first."
Hilarious! also love the "You tuber" editing clichés, complete with annoying mandatory subtitles 🤣 love it! …..err, unless there was actually no irony intended. In which case, I apologise.
Homes Under the Hammer. It's a real show staffed by er, emm and an ex footballer who once played for err. They bought some cheap rat holes at auction and did things to them and rented them out. To students probably.
My Dad used to work for Thames TV before Maggie sold off the ITV franchises in ‘91, after the ‘Death on the Rock’ documentary. The company that got Thames’ licence, Michael Green’s Carlton, employed one David Cameron as ‘director of corporate affairs’. By 1994 the ITC criticised the ‘poor network programming’. It didn’t improve.
That was SO ITV3. Perfect just perfect, Michael. Oh and the lousy landlord who, on buying the house, decides he's just going to lay a bit of lino, and bugger all else. 😆👍
I couldn't agree more, the main themes seem to be buying and selling houses or antiques, auctions for houses or antiques, repairing houses or antiques or documentaries about repossession from the bailiffs point of view.
The thing is these shows all have something interesting in them. If they focused more on the action behind the shows (fixing up the antiques, doing work on the homes) and didn't totally skip past the labour and art that is the process by which the things in the show are achieved then the shows would have more meaning. I occasionally catch antiques shows on and some parts are genuinely enlightening - like fixing an old shelf; but instead they skip past that as if the labour in of itself is not interesting and the result is all that matters. It just cuts to somebody talking in the middle of an incredible restoration of an old watch or something it's totally disengaging.
@@JomchenThe people doing the work don't want the audience to see how it's done. If people knew how easy some of the work was, all antiques restorers would be claiming benefits to eat.
you are actually that funny, you just made sit through this even though the subtitles nearly gave me a stroke. i thought i couldnt take it anymore and then the landlord skit was so hilarious, it gave me enough power to hold on until the end. 10/10 would watch again without subtitles
My daytime tv pet hate - when a micro celebrity is invited onto a chat show to relate their "mental health struggles" then proceed to tell a fairly ordinary tale about a tough, but common life event that made them feel a bit sad until they got over it. It's such a slap in the face to people dealing with MH problems that can incapacitate them & aren't going to go away with breathing exercises & positive thinking.
“Mental health struggles” has been so watered down and trivialised these days that it means nothing. People use it all the time to to get sympathy, attention and to avoid accountability People get startled by a loud noise and say they just had a panic attack Celebs will do or say the most toxic and shitty things and play the “I was in a bad place mentally” card
Sounds like every so-called mental health professional I've ever met in my life Hours telling them all my problems only for them to nod and offer me reams of papers with a few poor drawings detailing those very same techniques It makes me so angry how mental health is so shrugged off as nothing
I once watched a game show where supposedly grown up people ran a short distance grabbed a bean bag, and ran back to put it in a bucket, while being urged on by an overexcited presenter and a cheering audience...I last did that when I was at infants school. I didn't know it would be a skill for life....
I remember living in a bomb-filled rental in my student days. We lost a roommate once but, luckily, only half of the common area was destroyed so it was still legally a livable residence and my rent didn’t go up until just before I graduated.
:D It's so true. I used to work as the maintenance in a care home and that was literally all that was playing in the each of the dozens of rooms. It was a nightmare.

Had to listen to a racist rant at work between a 70 something that retired to Spain, and some 40 something that works in London a few times a year. When she said how bad it is here now, I hoped she'd have the sense to realise it is because of 14 years of tories and the brexit bullshit. Oh no, apparently these 2 could agree that it's not Britain anymore, just look at London, it's awful. Of course they're referring to immigrants existing. They even had to look around to see if there were any foreign looking people in the vicinity while they had their hateful rant. Never ceases to amaze me how irony and logic is lost on these bastards. That woman is providing nothing to the economy in Spain, yet is outraged at immigrants coming here to work!
The skits at the end holds so much truth, television these days appeals to no one but the elderly, one of the main reason why more and more people opting out of TV licence and watch online. And TV companies often wonder why, even though they keep reusing the same formula for 30, 40 years. No one wants to watch Saturday night shows or talk shows anymore.

Hahaha, you're right about the game shows being so dark! I did The Chase and was lucky not to fall off the relatively high step directly behind the chairs. PS, I was in the episode with Winston and Churchill (and Theresa, but I was June, not May, so folk gave me shit on Twitter!). 🤣🤣🤣
Same with 24 hour news, there's no need for it. I know people that get addicted to watching it, they see the same news over and over gain. It isn't the most cheerful thing to watch, I don't care who murdered someone today, I know there's psychopaths about, it doesn't interest me.
I work in the mornings part time in the run up to my eventual retirement and often pass the TV in the canteen and I think 'Thank God I'm not unemployed!'. The daytime TV companies completely ignore the fact that a huge proportion of their audience is unemployed and they, in turn, find it somewhat insulting to see endless programmes about people flaunting their wealth. You see twenty something's saying 'Well, we're hoping to upgrade to a bigger property - something between a million and one and a half million!' and you just know that they haven't got that sort of money from the 'hard graft' gammons always go on about. It's either through an inheritance or some serious back stabbing in the world of commerce or something equally shady.
It's all about popularising the ideal of wealth and being a middle-class snob Everyone is expected to be that very thing and they get judged if they don't
Well done Michael, a brilliantly observed take on daytime TV. I remember at the dawn of daytime TV and American was interviewed on UK national media to give an insight when the service launche - he said something to the effect that daytime TV in the US was nothing but drivel and made the point that it is impossible to produce quality programming 24/7 and you will end up with mush - he was completely accurate in his prediction!!
It's my fathers funeral on the 14th, happy valentines..., and even I had to laugh at the funeral advert. My dad did arrange his funeral in advance, his main stipulation being that he had definitely died before the funeral took place. In all honesty the Co-op have been fantastic, lovely food, haven't got a clue about their funeral service though...
He’s right about the Super Noodles, if anything, they actually taste better uncooked, smashed up, with the powder shaken into the packet. They’re the worst ramen going texture wise cooked.
My favourite on the daytime TV ads is the one that goes "Look. Here's a picture of a sad animal, and we're playing some heart-rending music over it and talking in a really sad voice to ask you to pleeeeeeeeeeease give us your money. Just phone this number and give us all of it. Not just some, but every single penny. Phone us now, or this sad little animal will die!". And then 3 minutes later in the same ad break, the same ad comes back on with the same sad music, but this time they say "Haven't you donated yet?............................You bastard!"
Can I just point out that I legitimately and with no exaggeration lived in a flat in SE London that had no roof. I stayed there for a year. On the upside it had two bathrooms.
I used to live under a sheet of tarpaulin in a dried up riverbed Work 24 hours a day, eat a lump of ice cold poison, and every night, my dad would kill me and dance on my grave singing hallelujah
The oatmilk brand that showed in your video is from avonmore. Avonmore is a Republic of Ireland dairy brand owned by the Tirlan the irish dairy co-operative. They generally produce milk and dairy and also do non dairy products such as the oatmilk shown. Sorry if its not related to the video just a bit of info about avonmore.
What about those adverts where you can adopt a Lion, Zebra, Elephant, Tiger, Gorilla, for only £2/month? Where am i going to put them? What will the neighbours say? Will my council tax go up? Is an elephant exempt from ULEZ? OMG genius idea! Horses are exempt from ULEZ. There's a park near me, and one near where I work. I could just get a horse and leave it in the park while I'm at home or at work! Do I need 'car' insurance to drive a horse on the road? Does a horse need to have an MOT?

Can I just point out that I legitimately and with no exaggeration lived in a flat in SE London that had no roof. I stayed there for a year. On the upside it had two bathrooms.
And if it rained it didn't take long to run a bath.
@@trickygoose2 mere moments. Pigeon poo is surprisingly good as an exfoliant.
I used to live under a sheet of tarpaulin in a dried up riverbed
Work 24 hours a day, eat a lump of ice cold poison, and every night, my dad would kill me and dance on my grave singing hallelujah
@@SamuelBlack84 LUXURY.
Brilliant as usual so correct
I didn't know the smashing super noodles technique!
SO excited to try this!!1
4:47 got me in stitches
“Fun fact, there are 7 billion, billion, billion atoms that make up the whole of Fiona Bruce.”
I fucking lost it there! 😂😂😂
Brilliant, as always 👏🤣
You missed the segue to a NordVPN sponsor in the middle 😂
I haven't seen daytime TV in almost 15 years now. I am ready for this lol
I liked for the ad being repeated at the end of the ad break. So realistic
The oatmilk brand that showed in your video is from avonmore. Avonmore is a Republic of Ireland dairy brand owned by the Tirlan the irish dairy co-operative. They generally produce milk and dairy and also do non dairy products such as the oatmilk shown. Sorry if its not related to the video just a bit of info about avonmore.
Love the music being as loud as the recording.
Love your videos and content. Do keep on making more great videos.
Best laugh I've had in a good while . Subscribed!
What about those adverts where you can adopt a Lion, Zebra, Elephant, Tiger, Gorilla, for only £2/month? Where am i going to put them? What will the neighbours say?
Will my council tax go up?
Is an elephant exempt from ULEZ?
OMG genius idea! Horses are exempt from ULEZ. There's a park near me, and one near where I work. I could just get a horse and leave it in the park while I'm at home or at work!
Do I need 'car' insurance to drive a horse on the road? Does a horse need to have an MOT?
Itv 3 adverts were so perfect
This gets more and more hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
This had me in stitches!! So excellent 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😂😂😂
Bill Hicks - 'Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye.'
And after all the lies they told, watching television in '24 is particularly braindead.
I still feel SM has ramped up the lies. MSM can't cram in as many as you see on SM.
Class video, I thought the cruise advert was real until it came back on and said its a boat you might die on hahahah.
Don't get me started!! Great satire made even more effective by simply taking what you already know and sticking it in your face!! Next topic for the Michael Spicer treatment; 'How Many More Shows Can Channel 5 Make About Air Fryers??!!'
This is brilliant.
Brilliant. Loved the ‘golden horizon’ ‚ adverts.
Just so close to home😂😂
Ah, the last boat to the undying lands…sign me up.
I love this man, he gets it 😄
The advents 😂😂😂😂
