Press clippings

It's often said that growing old gives you the freedom to complain about everything and anything. So it's no surprise that youngsters are now racing the oldies in their mission to moan.

Anyone with a Dad, Mum or vague middle aged relative will have heard of Grumpy Old Men / Grumpy Old Women. Little more than the filmed testimonies of various irritable celebrities, each series was hilarious viewing for both young and old in their cutting deconstruction of some of society's most baffling trends and sociological subgroups.

Never one to let a rant-inducing phenomenon pass us by, Comedy Central is back with a brand new one-hour special focusing on crotchety, grouchy young men.

Narrated by Robert Webb (who plays our generation's grump spokesman Jez in Peep Show), the programme features hilariously acerbic ranty rambles from a mixture of young comedians and celebs - Dan Snow, Alex Collier, Jack P Shepherd (Corrie's David Platt) and Matt Willis.

From dating to obesity and the modern day obsession with fame, this is a brilliantly witty, guilty pleasure that manages to rant about everything we've always wanted to but have felt socially obligated to put up with.

Grouchy Young Men review

At first we thought this was a cheeky rip-off of BBC2's Grumpy Old Men until Robert Webb's voiceover confirmed it was from the same makers.
