deputydogsays...I love this clip even more now I know it's actually the kid talking...
"Tiny TV Boss was something I made last year after buying a video baby monitor to keep an eye on our son Frank. Like the Pope’s funeral bit, it ended up being used as part of my Edinburgh show and I thought I might use it somewhere else but the moment seems to have passed so I decided to release it into the netsphere. Several people who’ve seen it have assumed that it’s me doing a baby impression but I assure you my vocal skills don’t stretch quite that far and the voice you hear is genuinely that of Frank who was about 2 and a half at the time. He was genuinely talking into a phone and it’s me on the other end so it’s more or less as real as you can get. I did a few more bits with Frank along the same lines, which I may try to post in due course. I also gave Armando a thing I shot with him for possible Time Trumpet use so we’ll see if Frank makes it to the small screen when the show comes out. Incidentally I negotiated a very generous buy out with Frank for the use of this stuff, so there’s no need to worry about him being exploited. Let’s just say he’s now got more Bionicles than any tiny human could possibly need, want or destroy."

I'm not sure I'm buying it. Maybe pre-recorded by a Kid. Or maybe the kid was repeating whatever his dad said on the other end of the phone - maybe.
joedirtsays...no way I'm buying it.. the "please" part seems real... but TOO much of the fake "video intereference" you see in any viral hitchhiker / ghost / talking baby videos.
No way a two year old has that kind of vocabulary, unless they are repeating something. Look again at just the transcript. way too advance language. So looks to me like a viral for some show with Jim Carr..
deputydogsays...Hmmm...
Tricky one. As long as it's the kid talking it's still funny.
deputydogsays...Viral! Come on JoeDirt, are you obsessed with uncovering viral ads?
Adam Buxton's a comedian, he's obviously set this up to get a laugh. Jimmy Carr is also a comedian who fronts just about every show possible on Channel 4 - he's a regular victim of piss-taking on tv.
There's no way on earth this is a viral.
NickyPsays...I think the sift has already condemed anything related to adam and joe. You should have said it was colbert or fucking jesus
choggiesays......if it is a kid talkin' scripted, coached, or otherwise,...he watches too goddamn much BBC, -his generation may be like the young adults in a William Gibson story-
The Future Confuses and Amazes Me....
joedirtsays...change the frackin' title, cause there is no way that the audio isn't faked.

Choggie, I think you win for best avatar, if those are indeed duck billed platypi.
fastfret79says...I have to say I'm with deputydog on this one - it's definately the kid talking and knowing what Adam & Joe's comedy is like, this is probably a very rehearsed 'game' he plays with his kid that he has recorded.
deputydogsays...JoeDirt, calm down mate.
Do we need to get some kind of official documentation before we post videos now?
Sounds like a kid to me whether he's being told what to say or not.
couplandsays...Very incredibly fake. I hate to burst everyone's stupidity bubbles, but someone saying "no rilly, it's not fake" is hardly an iron-clad proof...
benjeesays...As someone who's followed Adam Buxton's career for at least a decade - I can say it's not fake (and was indeed used on Armando Ianucci's Time Trumpet - possibly where the visual effects came from). I agree with FastFrets comment above, it's setup in a way (the kids playing a game with his dad to recite whats said, I think anyway).
deathcowsays...so fake it hurts, there's no way this kids a TV producer
couplandsays...Well, I suppose if you saw it on TV then it's got to be real. Private msg me, I've got an amazing investment opportunity for you, and it's all legit because we have an 800 number you can call where they'll tell you it's all legit.
snaremopsays...hahaha
