Couldn't find a thread for this anywhere but surely I can't be the only one watching this?

It's the second one tonight but for those of you with no idea what I'm banging on about the show is basically Adam Buxton showing obscure but cool music videos from YouTube and then taking the piss out of the comments.

I think anyone who has ever seen a computer knows that YouTube comments are the slipperiest slope towards the mouth of madness but Buxton bravely treads this path so we don't have to.

I'd not really heard of this before and wasn't aware of its live predecessor so went in not knowing what to expect. Buxton himself seemed relatively uncomfortable / awkward to begin with but I suspect this was all part of the act.

Before I knew it I was literally in tears with laughing and the way the comments are mined for the jokes is genius.

Back on tonight hope it stays awesome.

 Anything involving Count Buckules is worth checking out, so I'll be looking out for this fo sho.

Met him after a Spoon gig in London a couple of years back. Lovely fella.

I thought it was a fun show. Always been a fan of Buckles but I had no idea he was touring with this, that's awesome.

I wonder why he didn't do comments on the second video but I assume it was a time issue.

 I've always said Adam is the more talented of the Adam & Joe duo & after seeing this I think that's definetly proved right! GENIUS!

 Hmmm, don't have Sky but will try to get a look at this. The Youtube bit on the Buzzcocks episode he hosted a while back was awesome. If it's anything like that it will be well worth a watch.

Everybody still watching this? Funniest thing on TV just now. The format is so limiting on paper every week I keep expecting to feel like I've seen it all before or that it's just not going to be as funny, then every week I end up with tears of laughter streaming down my face. Good work.

 I found this on my Sky Planner a couple of weeks ago and I've been watching it since. I've love Adam Buxton since he guest-hosted Buzzcocks, he's so funny, and the way he reads these things is hilarious.

My favourite part of tonight's episode was "No offence intended...Owen Wilson"

Yeah. I saw him as a guest on Buzzcocks once but only really noticed him when he hosted.

 I felt it took too long for a response

I loved their podcast, i'm not a massive fan of BUG i have to say, seems a bit slow compared to the duo.

 Ah give me a chance I'd only just seen it 10 seconds before hand.
Loved their Radio stuff from when they used to stand in for Gervais & Merchant on XFM.

Have only just started watching this but so far thinks its excellent. Am a big fan of Adam and Joe anyway. The dramatic pauses and the way he paces the words and gets just the right mix sacastic, deadpan reponses and the more looney humour make it really funny to way. Buxton brings something fresh to a slightly old format from what I can see.

 Far better than I expected, but it is criminally limited. Buxton is hilarious.
