yes, you have got the text to this completely wrong.

The show on the TV is "Charlie Brooker's screenwipe", an excellent show where Charlie Brooker heckles TV.

I have no idea who the guy doing the commercial is.

ted, I don't think that is the point of the humour.

In Charlie Brookers show, the one visible on the plasma TV, CB is berating a certain kind of man in advertising. He uses the word "cock" not in it's genital sense but to berate and deflate the men involved.

The humour lies in the fact that the CBSW segment berating bad advertising then shows up by mistake in an advertisement, by a man.

you can watch the original CBSW segment here, you will understand:

angstrom: can't the joke be enjoyed on both levels? I mean, when you are advertising something, the last thing you want to flash up on the screen is something like "COCKS". (Unless you are advertising Viagra, perhaps)

I'd love to agree with you Angstrom but ....damn it if ted is not actually on the money about the uk knob joke humour.

this gives me no pleasure to admit...... damn your eyes, damn your biscuits ted.

hee hee.

Thanks for the explanation, Angstrom. You really got down to the meat and potatoes there. Here, I was feeling like the cock of the walk, but now I just feel like a weiner.
