'Harry Hill's TV Burp' is something 'thetvreviewguy' finally gets. For years, he used to think it was just a clips show with mildly amusing links. But in this age of austerity, where everyone owes everyone else Gazillions (yes, that is a number), there's an incredible amount to be said for absurd humour and ridiculousity (yes, also a word). Hill, a former Medical Doctor, knows just the right doses of comedy medicine to prescribe. With his over-sized shirt and cheesy grin, he plays the clown role extremely well and his TV Burp makes for some nice going-out telly on a Saturday night. Ok, he is daft and quite possibly very annoying but whatever it is about 'getting' him, maybe 'thetvreviewguy' is mellowing as he approaches his fifth decade. While still raging against the machine, he's realising that machine is very rarely changed by his rage, let alone revolutionised. Of course, while 'thetvreviewguy' has always been suspicious and dismissive of the popularity of popular comedians - Michael McIntyre or Brendan O'Carroll anyone? - he's happy to admit where his tastes are in tune with his fellow TV viewers. Harry Hill is a funny guy and while being foolish may not always appear that sophisticated, playing the clown (in the Shakespearean sense) takes no mean talent. Just silly enough to have even the curmudgeoniest of curmudgeons laugh, 'Harry Hill's TV Burp' is worth your once over, at least.
