The death of surrealism



I haven't been watching the new series of Shooting stars, but there is still the possibility of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer coming back to do a sketch show. I really miss seeing stuff like this on a regular weekday. It's not that current comedy is boring or that this kind of stuff is always great, but it's all just so realistic and reasonable. It's almost like nobody wants to do it anymore, just having something weird and silly. There's still standups like Eddie Izzard, and the mighty boosh, but as a whole the last couple of years feel less and less like anything can happen, and more and more like, everything as already happened. This whole decade was like seeing that cloned sheep on TV, the most mundane kind of future you could imagine. In other words let's try and invent and rocket car or something before 2020, or just bring back surrealism.
