"Celebrities" and Ghost Hunting

Here is a funny video from a Brit show called, Harry Hill's TV Burp. It seems akin to The Soup on E!, mocking TV and pop culture.

In this clip, Harry digs into the latest reality show consisting of "celebrities". And as Harry says, "I use the term lightly." This show is called Ghost Hunting with I Am Celebrity. So you have the fun of ghosts, haunted houses, and D-list celebs. What a highly mockable mix.

The US has its share. A year or two back they had some Celebrity Paranormal Project, or something, shown at Halloween. It was silly, with people chasing shadows, and being plopped into clearly staged situations. Not to say the other paranormal shows in the US, are not laughable as well.


Now the clip.

First is a hilarious bit with a big nob. The guy is actually sitting alone in the dark with a flashlight and a camera, filming himself screaming and shitting himself over every groan of the house and every shadow he sees.

The Harry looks at the teams attempt at spirit writing. And the comedy look he gives the camera before showing the clip is priceless.

So you get a bit of celeb mocking and ridicule of the whole chasing shadows and thumps in creaky old places.

I have to try to check this show out some time.
