Tourette De France - funny as hell!

Did anyone see this on Channel 4 last Thursday night? My god it was funny. Keith Allen takes a bus load of Scottish Tourettes sufferers to France, via Canterbury Cathedral and other places. I watched it over a few ales with BBC and Tommy T, and was in stitches throughout! I am fully sympathetic to those with Tourettes, but this was always intended to show the 'humorous side of society's reaction to Tourettes', and so I had no problem being doubled up with laughter!

One of the best features of the show was each time someone shouted something out, such as 'Ape F*cker', that word/sentence would pop up in the middle of the screen in big bold letters! It was like some kinda kids' learning programme....bloody excellent. There's gotta be some clips of it on youtube...i'll have a look and post them if i find em.

:rofl:

Edit: Shit me there's loads! Just type 'Tourette De France' into youtube, and enjoy!

Wiggly chuff made me chuckle.

However I had real trouble getting past Mr Keith Allen who I think is a proper self righteous wanker. Oh and hypocrite to boot.

Ho hum. :)

But it was one of the better things on TV and it was piss funny too.

this is the first i've heard of it - gutted! it sounds absolutely brilliant.. that "teenage tourettes camp" that was on not too long ago was brilliant, but masqueraded as a genuine, heart-felt documentary.. this sounds genius.. particularly:

I saw it. Was feeling pretty bad when it was on, but I couldn't not laugh.

That guy shouting "PAEDO N*GGER!!" from a bench in the middle of Paris was a highlight. And the words on the screen did add a certain something.

And shouting "I'M A chuff" from the top of a double decker bus is something everyone should do at least once before they die.

4000th post? Whatever, I'm nonchalant..
i thought the bit where the lad kept shouting 'bomb' and bin laden' in a packed town square was genius.

The bus driver singing that religious song whilst being bombarded by tourettic outbursts from his passengers was also good. One of them shouted something absolutely hilarious, and I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
