I think you're spot on. It's sad, because I don't think he's a bad person at all, he means well, but there's just something missing in his make up. Every now and again The One Show or something similar will show one of those 'Laughter Therapy' weekends or a variation on it, where people laugh really forcibly in order, supposedly, to feel like they're finding something funny. I always think, 'That's Chris'.

Pru	The thing about Evans, for me, that concerns is that he doesn't really seem to 'feel' things. It's as if he has to tell himself what a feeling he should have, and then, like a robot, he approximates to it. He's one of those characters who runs about telling himself something's 'fun,' so he makes himself grin a lot and really, really, really tries hard to HAVE 'fun'. But I fear, inside, there's nothing there. Just an echoey chamber. When he plays music, when he interviews someone, whatever it is, it's as if the idea is kickstarting the emotion: 'This is something to feel excited about, so get yourself excited!' It makes me quite sad observing it. He means well, I think, but there's not much there, deep down, beneath all the bluster.
JK2006	I know exactly what Robbie means; there's something patronising and slightly creepy about all that "aren't children cute when they are being children?" stuff and there is SO much of it. It really is not funny, cute or entertaining "How much would you mark yourself out of ten? Eleven! Hahahaha". The fact that he can't see it's awful is what is frightening.
