An iconic noughties comedy series is making an unlikely comeback after finding a brand new audience who are demanding that the ITV hit is revived with new episodes.

Harry Hill’s TV Burp is back in the public eye after an old clip poking fun at 2010 X-Factor contestant Tracey for repeatedly telling Cheryl Cole she was ‘ready’ during the judges’ houses phase went viral.

The comedy chat show ran from 2001 to 2011 and featured the now 60-year-old comedian as he highlighted the funniest and most ridiculous moments from the previous week’s TV.

The X-Factor clip went viral after Gen Z heartthrob Paul Mescal referenced it in an interview, prompting fans to post the original clip.

One wrote: ‘Always baffled by the longevity of a joke started from Harry Hill’s TV Burp but I will be quoting this on my deathbed if prompted.’

Another said: ‘Not enough people know the lore! This is a Harry Hill’s TV Burp joke from when it happened!’

The viral clip gave people a taste for nostalgia and soon, a plethora of other funny clips from the show were being plastered all over social media.

In another archival clip, Harry Hill takes aim at the extreme rhetorical questions asked by Robert Kilroy-Silk at the beginning of his BBC One daytime chat show which ended in 2004.

Other popular resurfaced segments include The Many Faces Of Louis Walsh, showing the roller coaster of emotions the X-Factor judge experienced in one episode, and a chaotic monologue from Coronation Street’s Steve McDonald.

In response to resurgence of hilarious Harry Hill clips, fans who grew up watching the show rushed to social media to share their love of the trend and to demand a reboot.

One wrote: ‘Me clicking the like ʙuттon on every Harry Hill’s TV Burp tweet on my feed.’

Another said: ‘I think the world needs a new series of Harry Hill’s TV Burp.’

‘I will die on this hill (pun intended) that Harry Hill’s TV Burp was on of the best shows ever made for TV and it need to be brought back immediately,’ a third posted.

Others called it ‘genuinely laugh out loud funny’, ’10/10 entertainment and ‘the peak of British television’.

The sudden revived interest in the show hasn’t gone unnoticed by the man himself, as Harry Hill revealed he gets asked at least once a day to bring it back.

Unfortunately, ITV hasn’t yet reached out to the beloved comedian about a reboot.

‘That would have to be the first step and ITV hasn’t done that,’ he told the Daily Star.

Harry also revealed that he was ‘fed up’ of the series before it ended, so he would need some convincing too if they did want to bring it back.

He added: ‘When I said I wanted to finish the show in 2012, they didn’t try to persuade me to keep doing it.

‘I had a good relationship with them and they knew I was fed up with doing it.’
