Mock the Week

enismirdalMock the Week I find rather variable in its funniness. At its best, I laugh greatly. But when Frankie oversteps the mark it's a bit cringeworthy.
In any case, there was a repeat of an old specials episode from about 2006 today. So probably old news for some of you. But it was my first time seeing the following, and I nearly died from laughing.
Frankie (Boyle): Hugh has to be careful because this week, I discovered... I don't know if you know what slash fiction is, but it's basically gay fiction on the internet, where they have people like, you know, Captain Kirk and Spock shagging each other. And there's one of me and Hugh (Dennis).
*laughter, cheering from audience, Hugh looks almost delighted and raises his hands*
Frankie: I don't know why you're doing that, Hugh, cos you're the receiver.
Hugh: I was just trying to make it easier for you.
*Hugh raises his hands again, bracing himself expectantly*
Frankie: The most offensive part of it is when they describe my pubes as being ginger.
(For those of you in the UK reading this before 10:29pm on the 19th November, here is a link to iPlayer - it's at about 22 minutes 45 seconds in.
ETA: And here's a YouTube link for everyone else, and people who can't be bothered skipping through a load of regular Mock the Week first.)
So there you have it. RPS fangirls - if you're writing non-ginger Scotsmen into slashfic, make sure their pubes are NOT ginger.
ETA2: If anyone can actually link me to the piece of fic in question (if it's even real) you get bonus points. Or something.
That is all, for now.
