The Adam And Joe Show - Best Bits From Series 1 And 2 [1996] Video at Shop Ireland (1037 words)
Adam and Joe are the best laugh you’re likely to have and I would urge you to buy this video just as long as you’re not easily offended as they do swear and the toys do shag!
Adam and Joe get into all sorts of trouble on the Brixton streets and I have to admit the video is pretty funny especially when Joe starts taking the free percentages on food items a little too seriously and starts eating and drinking everything in sight.
Adam's attempt at creating a piss up in a brewery will also raise a smile, but it seems that a most of the video is filler, just to stretch the viewing time to the hour and a half that it is.
BBC - Cult - Adam and Joe on Three - news story (172 words)
Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish are moving from Channel Four to host a series on Japanese pop culture.
Adam and Joe are famous for their Channel Four series The Adam and Joe Show, and for putting the 'cheer' back into 'cheap n' cheerful TV'.
Their sketches featured the duo going into a pound shop and asking how much each item cost, as well as being thrown out of stores for eating the free 10% of chocolate bars and putting them back ("It's alright, that bit was free").
