David Walliams' Awfully Good

10 April 2011

Sometimes TV shows, Movies and Adverts are so awful that they become David Walliams' Awfully Good. And it's those David Walliams' Awfully Good TV shows, Movies and Adverts that David Walliams celebrates in this brand new comedy archive series.

In each episode David Walliams presents a library of low points from the world of TV, Movies or Adverts. Moments that are so truly, staggeringly, compellingly awful that they're funny. At the end of each show David Walliams names and shames what he considers to be the most awfully good clip of all time.

 

  

Episode 2

In episode two of David Walliams' Awfully Good... adverts are the subject of David's unforgiving wit. 'Sometimes ads are beautiful, witty, sexy, cool but some ads are just plain crap!' and tonight's show celebrates the very best of the very worst before revealing David Walliams' most awfully good ad.

Dressed in various guises David presents the most staggeringly, compellingly awful adverts ever to grace television. From a library of advertising lows these commercials fall into an array of aptly named categories including Ad's you'd Never Get Away with Today from an era when sexism seemed perfectly acceptable - ‘be a good little Maxwell House wife'; to Fragrance Ads That Stink, Sports Stars Who Should Have Stuck to Their Day Job and Pro Smoking Ads - ‘what cigarette do you smoke Doctor?'

Ayds Diet Pills are high on the list of David's Top 3 Badly Names Products, the strap line for which was,'Thank Goodness for Ayds'. What advertising exec seriously thought that was a good idea?!  A close contender of these miracle pills is Ball Buster, it's a family game. Fun for children and for adults it's exciting.'

From Top 10 Unmiraculous Products, including the Euro Club - a handy hollow club for when you're caught short on the golf course to Most Pitiful Acting in an Ad and Public Information films that reflect the dated attitudes of the 50s, 60s and 70s there is a whole lot of hilarity in this two hour special before discovering David Walliams' 'Awfully Goodest Moment'.

 

Episode 1

In the first episode, David looks at everything from the most underwhelming Jim'll Fix It moments, highlighting some of the kids who wasted their letter to Jimmy Savile in a top five rundown.  They could have asked to be James Bond for a day, or performed with Shakin' Stevens, but no, they decide to: eat a lemon in front of a brass band, discover what Arsenal goalkeeper Pat Jennings keeps in his lunchbox, and post themselves in a parcel to their cousin in Harrogate. 

The show also includes the sports event World Of Sport, ITV's answer to Grandstand, which had the much sought after TV rights to the following sports - caber tossing, tug of war, caravan racing, female arm wrestling and grass skiing!  As well as the most misguided kids TV shows and the most untalented variety acts - notably, Mr TSW 1982 - possibly the worst beauty contest ever broadcast - a parade of men and their bad posture, haircuts, tattoos and moustaches and theyre all in their swimming trunks!

In the Adverts show he casts his eye and wit over everything from the most sexist ads to adverts selling the most useless miracle products ever invented. The movie show is a mighty selection box of everything from the worst movie stars accents to the least erotic sex scenes and from the least convincing special effects to the most terrible lines of dialogue.
