thread_title:  Removed weasel words 

message: Upon viewing this article, I was surprised to find that there was no section on criticism. I bet he's received reviews that state how much he has rested on his laurels after he developed the original act, so surely there would be a way to include statements about how repetetive Harry's work actually is (in a critical response section). He has quite literally found a formula (one reliant on not much more than sarcasm) and done it to death at the expense of actually creating much that is new. His Channel 4 era TV show was the same stuff each week, tweaked slightly, ad-infinitum. The concept for TV Burp was pretty new at the time but any variety in that is generated by the clips chosen. The general format and much of the joke angles are still the same as they were years ago - "only one way to find out..." and "isn't it funny how people end up looking like...". You only need to see how he believes Prodigy's Firestarter being sung by old people is the source of much amusement, a decade later. 
I actually think Harry's quite a laugh at times (the gags he writes are the really good thing but these too often take a back-seat to almost cringe inducing lowbrow humour, such as song and dance routines) and I used to watch him religiously but now I'm older, I've recently gone back to him and realised how 'same old' it all is. Others must agree....? Mr.bonus 01:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: "...his humour appears grounded in petty 'old time' attitudes and conservatism."
Eh? Not really. This is POV, and a pretty odd POV at that. Suggest removal.
I'd agree with that. Hill fits the role of a more traditional family comic but I don't think he's conservative or grounded in petty old time attitudes. Whatever the heck they are. 81.178.75.47 (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

message: May Sung, his 'mail-order bride' was played in the Harry Hill shows by an actress. this article clearly implies that his tv wife character = his actual real wife. needs fixing—Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.220.194 (talk • contribs) 
:I've now dug out a source for the name of his wife, which seems to be Magda Archer. --McGeddon (talk) 20:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Different picture? 

message: In 2001, Harry Hill stared in a television advertisment for Tango (drink), where he plays a "gut instinct" for a young man in a reluctant relationship with his girlfriend. You can see it on YouTube if you type in Tango advert - 2001 advert - Make Pass at Father - well that's not the name of the video but you'll get there. I think this should really be included in the article, the mention of the advertisment --77.99.231.37 (talk) 19:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

message: His biography states he moved to Hong Kong when he was 14, yet he then returned to Primary school in the UK. This can't be correct, as you leave primary school in the UK at 11! Perhaps the article means 4?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.213.48 (talk) 22:27, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
