Brian Sewell - Satirical Portrayal

Satirical Portrayal

In April 2010 the channel 4 television show 'Facejacker' was broadcast in the U.K, including a sketch involving a character called Brian Badonde who was portrayed as an inept art critic presenting a show called "Voyage in to Art" with the fictional speech impediment "Bourettes" which causes him to begin every word with a 'B', and often refers to art as bart. The character was loud, flamboyant and openly homosexual. The creators of the show have explicitly acknowledged that the character is based on Brian Sewell.

Famous quotes containing the words satirical and/or portrayal:

    The satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards,
    that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber
    and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit,
    together with most weak hams.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
