Ha Ha, excellent. I guess you're a fan of Annie Lennox/ have a German Shepherd dog called Prince/were due to appear on the Crystal Maze, etc.
Seriously, Half Man Half Biscuit weren't some 'wacky' alternative comedy type band - it's satire really (the aspiring middle classes being the object of their ridicule, mainly).
It's no coincidence that, when asked what current 'Indie' bands Nigel Blackwell might be into, he paused for a moment, before proffering, "The Fall..."
In any case, they're misanthropes, and there's nothing wrong with that:

Kindness of Trees, I almost specifically asked you not to do that.
Peel compared HMHB to the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band (also awful, also unfunny). The only difference is Bonzo Dog were unfunny when there were so many psychedelics around that no one was funny (on purpose). HMHB were unfunny in a golden age of comedy.
