No, I'm fine thanks, but I may have a coffee to stop me nodding off...

I'm not narrow minded at all, but it does seem you have this big chip on your shoulder about Julian, could there be other reasons for this possibly?? Hmmm...

So Julian is bullying The Situation now is he?? Wow... Perhaps you need to stop thinking & analysing the show quite so hard then you wont be coming up with issues that don't exist

I"m very sensitive to anti-Americanism as most people arou d here know, and i don't think he's anti-American, i think he's offended that the Americans don't know who he is though, because ofcourse he's never had a career in America, and i think he is a bit bitter about that.

I think that all of the other (british) housemates would know who he is, and i think he was a bit offended that the Americans don't have the same reverence for him that he thinks he deserves.

well Ive watched british reality tv for a decade and the anti american pattern has continued throughout, especially with the mediocre celebrities like clary. i recall vic reeves being very disappojnting in the jungle, a famous british comic but he again didnt give the yanks a chance, I really dont know why the english have got such a chip on their shoulder about the americans. its sad. I recall the great sir anthony hopkins point this out one way. he said the english hated the fact he was going to hollywood to work and to live. he hated the stiffness and narrow mindedness of the west end and loved the open mindedness and opportunity he found in american. so much so he became mayor of a town, and took dual american/welsh citizenship

this anti american rhetoric has gone on on every english comedy show, quiz show, chat show for decades, now reality tv shows too

the english often make the error of mistaking sincerity for stupidity
they think all americans have no ironic humour, they ignore the legends like larry david, garry shandling, wood allen, oliver hardy, harold lloyd, buster keaton, the marx brothers, robin williams, joan rivers, emo, richard pryor, bill hicks etc etc etc they see to think ironic humour only exists in england. talk about xenophobic little englanders. its not that way in scotland or wales or ireland. yet the english consider themselves brilliant multi culturalists. they take jokes way too far

Ask alanis morrisette if americans understand irony...haha
You forgot poor old stan laurel..now isn't that ironic? don't you think?
I'm interested in the fact you mention Joan Rivers, her acidic comments cutting remarks razor sharp tongue and near the knuckle humour makes julian clary look like a care bear!

beyond the surface what else is there to mr cleary?

his put downs seem obvious pre-prepared and over-used

he seems cold, sly, totally uncommunicative and hard work to be around

I know many people like that, they never ever ever open up, they just do and say the obvious thing to stay popular with the people they think can help them and their careers

His nomination was sooooo predictable as he played up to the women and to what he thinks the audience wants to see, i.e. him picking on the supposedly stupid yank

I think situation will be far more popular than cleary realises and cleary will no doubt fake some warmth to him when the situation survives a few weeks...pathetic

people will call the others stupid and julian clever because he can insult the so easily, insulting people, less intelligent people just for fun, is not something to be proud of

i think its a defence mechanism tbh and it can come across as negative and nasty, he just seems to have not developed his personality further and doesnt have the guts to open up and be real and natural like some others

Yes but many in the Media
have said he did not want to go in.
He has a style - Like his comedy Gigs

You like him
or
You Do not like Him

Its that simple.

yes on the stage. I would also add that she is a genius and laughs at herself and doesnt choose easy targets like clary. basically at heart she is a very very warm caring person, a great communicator who does loads for charity. she wouldnt be reduced to insulting the situation non stop for a week. shed go after the bullies.

I'm not actually English myself, I'm Australian now living in the UK...

You seem to think the English are in general anti American, which is complete bull... If anything it is the other way round, look at how the English are portrayed in American culture! Most American's seem to think all English people talk like they are a member of the Royal family, have bad teeth & are stuffy & reserved...
