We totally lost our sh*t

This week on Who Remembers Spangles? we spiral cheerfully through Britain’s favourite pastimes: overreaction, nostalgia, and finding comfort in things that cost £7.99.There’s talk of snap political certainty, knee-jerk opinions, and why everyone is always absolutely sure about everything. That leads neatly into a nostalgic Top 5 Times Everyone Got Hysterical About Some Bullshit — including the Ice Bucket Challenge, Blur vs Oasis becoming actual news, dangerous dogs, and the collective emotional meltdown after the death of Diana.We then look ahead with Top 5 Predicted Hysterias for 2026: carbs being labelled poisonous, digital ID outrage from people welded to smartphones, panic over a cashless society, protests against “AI slop,” and first-contact alien chaos.Along the way we reminisce about 80s holiday camps, and profess deep affection for Britain’s most dependable mass-produced comforts: Premier Inn, Wetherspoons, PureGym, Greggs, Ryanair — and any other discount concept that delivers familiarity, beige carpets, and zero surprises.Also some essential comedy-industry navel-gazing: making other comedians laugh, the fear of being “hack,” and whether comedy is now overthinking itself into paralysis.No experts. No balance. Just gobsh*tes remembering the past badly and musing about the future.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.
