Shouldn't Laugh But...Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher24 Mar

Justin Timberlake’s DUI & will The Spice Girls ever get their sh*t together?

This week on Shouldn’t Laugh But, Laura and Carmen are attempting the impossible… not laughing. Inspired by Last One Laughing, they kick things off with a moment of silence for Chuck Norris (which lasts approximately three seconds), before spiralling into iconic Norris memes, Jessica Simpson eyebrow-taping and whether the world feels slightly less safe now he’s gone.

Saturday Night Live UK has officially landed! From backstage buzz to internet hot takes, Laura and Carmen unpack the mix of hype, cynicism, and why sometimes you just need to let the shiny young things crack on… while you sit back with strong “auntie energy”.

Plus, Justin Timberlake’s painfully awkward drink driving arrest, why saying “this will ruin the world tour” is not quite the flex he thinks it is. And while the Spice Girls can’t quite get their act together for their 30th anniversary, at least everyone agrees that organising anything with a group of women (even icons) is basically impossible.

From there, it’s tattoos with meaning, man buns with attitude, speed awareness courses that are somehow enjoyable and chaotic travel diaries, from sunny Glasgow gigs to eye-wateringly expensive Zurich chocolate… £130 for a handful of Easter treats YIKES.
