Two More Eggs (2015–2017)
8/10
Surreal but strikingly funny shorts
25 November 2016
An ongoing series created by web-cartoon veterans Matt and Mike Chapman, Two More Eggs is very Homestar Runner-esque with its oddball, surreal humour. Episodes revolve around the most ridiculous scenarios, which the selection of over-the-top voice acting compliments well. Plots can be hard to follow, as expected.

It's certainly an odd fit for Disney XD, and such the series has had multiple mixed reviews, but it ends up finding its way into its quite niche audience very well. Fans of the timely classic Homestar Runner are set to enjoy it. For anyone who's into the Chapman Brothers' specific humour, these shorts will not disappoint.

9/10
A wickedly hilarious and witty take on an old classic
23 November 2016
What is there more to say than what was written in the title? The show's host Jimmy Carr is a quick thinker, which allows him to make incredibly funny jokes all while retaining the edgy, dark humour he is known for. The scripted skits that take place while participants are writing down their answers are crazily ridiculous. Resident team captains Sean Lock and Jon Richardson have such strong chemistry with each other that I'd have a hard time imagining comedians that would be better in their place. All the while there is still the classic rounds of Countdown being played that many know and love, all starring the same lexicographer Suzie Dent, and presenter/mathematician Rachel Riley.

The entire show feels genuine, which is an important achievement that some panel shows have an issue with. In conclusion, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown lives up to the hype as one of the pinnacles of British panel shows.

Cyber Bully (2011 TV Movie)
2/10
A shallow PSA disguised as a movie
28 May 2016
As many fellow IMDb users have said, this film shows cyberbullying in a completely unrealistic and over-exaggerated way. The entire concept of the movie is laughable. The acting is dreadful. It fits into almost every modern cliché.

Only reason this monstrosity doesn't get a 1 is due to its reasonable moral that it attempts to teach, and it has apparently done its job to some extent.

Overall, there are much better films that successfully grasp the concept of online bullying. If your intent is to teach others or learn yourself about the consequences of cyberbullying through film, look elsewhere immediately. If you want a good movie to laugh at, this is a good choice.
