The classic "Yes, Prime Minister" gag here, methinks:

 

The Mirror is read by people who think they run the country.

The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country.

The Times is read by people who really do run the country.

The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country.

The Morning Star is read by people who think the country should be run by another country,

and the Telegraph is read by people who think it already is.

 

And Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

There was a similar Russell Howard gag on Mock The Week which I liked, and wish I could remember in its entirety, where the papers are all having a debate about something. All I can remember is

 

"And what say you, Guardian?"

"CRICKET!!"

And where is the fucking Sport in that?

 

Well, seeing as you've decided it's a thread for quoting sitcoms for no reason, here's one off Trailer Park Boys.

 

"Haven't you some offs to fuck?"

Piss off, Butch. There've been more than enough references to other newspapers in here, and it's pretty obvious you can lump the Sport in with The Sun.

 

It's just a comedy quote about newspapers and their readers, no need to steam in like a rem with a Sherbet dib-dab and six Red Bulls.

Brilliant. I think I'll purchase my first copy since about 2001 in celebration.

 

Me too. The fact that it comes on the weekend after my birthday, when I will wake-up with a hangover making me feel like a stroke victim makes the thought of nipping to the local shop for some sausages and 20 fags a little bit more bearable knowing that FULL COLOUR BOOBS will once more be available on the bottom shelf.

Marvellous.

 

Does anyone remember the Cutting Edge documentary about the Daily / Sunday Sport? It was ace. Tony Livesey is great. He was fantastic on Have I Got News For You when he turned up on there once as well.

Was that the one where they visited the Mackem who's Son had been turned into a fish finger by aliens?

The very same! It also featured the cow who had a pattern that looked like Jimmy Hill's head. If it's not on 4oD then I might cry!
