Jimmy Carr hosting ‘Am I The A**hole?’ gameshow based on famous subreddit
Jimmy Carr is hosting an "Am I The A**hole?" Comedy Central reddit gameshow based on the subreddit
The notorious “Am I The Asshole?” subreddit is being turned into a gameshow for Comedy Central UK hosted by LOL: Last One Laughing UK’s Jimmy Carr. Jimmy Carr’s Am I The Asshole? will invite members of the public to come before the host and a panel of two other comedians to ask controversial questions. These questions will cover everything from jaw-dropping relationship disputes to the pettiest of family squabbles and stories of behaviors that are guaranteed to split opinion. The “Am I The Asshole?” sub-reddit is famous worldwide and uses the acronym AITA. The BBC mined Reddit in the past for its hit comedy Am I Being Unreasonable?, which is also a famous subreddit. Jimmy Carr’s Am I The Asshole? is being produced by STV Studios-owned Tuesday’s Child. The series will be filmed in late spring and is due to air later this year on Comedy Central UK. Carr said: “There are an impressive number of assholes in our country and they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve on national television.”
Note: because of markdown formatting I have had to change "a**hole" to 'asshole". While it should obviously be "arsehole", it isn't actually clear what the series will be called, it might actually be using the bowdlerised version in the title.
My wife once posted a story about me to AITA and it was absolutely insane the answers she got. I'm not exaggerating when I say 95% of the people who heard the story IRL were on my side, but 95% of the people on Reddit were against me. Wife wasn't even that mad, she finds the story funny now and we laugh about how intensely that thread was against me. It's a fun drunken activity with friends to revisit the thread and read out the answers. Diagnosing me with mental issues and making bizarre accusations out of nowhere. Ridiculous subreddit.
That sub was made up slop even before ai. I imagine it would be worse now
You can write a**hole using backslash escapes before *.
The aita sub was rarely funny, so it will be interesting to see how they make it a comedy gameshow.
Some of my not-that-internetty friends seem to have discovered Reddit recently (I know) and cite Am I The Asshole? as a particular highlight, so I guess it's recently received a lot of mainstream attention
Hey, these YouTube and Facebook videos are doing quite well let's copy them!
