These are to say nothing of TVGoHome's most regular programme, whose title is the word ranked in recent BBC research as the most offensive swear word (83% of respondents said it was "very severe").
But that particular programme's star is the undoubted hit of TVGoHome, the standard bearer of the new media revolution, Nathan Barley, who embodies the excesses of pretentiousness and has thus become something of a 21st Century hate figure.
So successful has TVGoHome become that a collection of its issues is being published in the Autumn, and - oh the irony - there will be a TV sketch series on E4 at the end of November.

TVGoHome was a website which parodied the television listings style of the British magazine Radio Times.
It was produced fortnightly from 1999 to 2001, and sporadically until 2003, by Charlie Brooker.
A sitcom entitled Nathan Barley, based on a character from TVGoHome and co-written by Brooker with Chris Morris, was broadcast in February 2005.
Barley, the loathsome star of a fictional docusoap, is a public school educated, Hoxton-dwelling new media type who is obsessed with gadgets and extreme sports.
Morris is working on his new Channel 4 show with Charlie Brooker, the Guardian Guide's TV critic and co-creator of the TVGoHome.
A pilot for Morris's next show was shot last summer but he works in such secrecy that even the Channel 4 commissioning editors responsible for the project are thought not to know what it is about.
The Guardian reports that fake-news genius Chris Morris is collaborating on a new show with Charlie Brooker:
Barley, the star of a fictional TVGoHome docusoap, is a loathsome public school educated, Hoxton-dwelling new media type, obsessed with gadgets and extreme sports.
But given Morris’s fondness for windups and spoofs, this could just as easily be a red herring.
The original title, "Lara Croft's Cruelty Zoo", was changed for copyright reasons and so the cartoon's original intended object of humour was not realised.
From 1999 to 2002 he penned the satirical TVGoHomewebsite, a regular series of mock TV schedules published in a format similar to that of the Radio Times, consisting of a combination of savage satire and surreal humour and hosted at NTK.
A print adaptation of the site was published by Fourth Estate in 2001.
