British media lackeys 🤢

Look-Up!

Faulty was brilliant.

Not a fan of American comedy shows like Big Bang or Friends. Don't find them particularly funny. Loved always sunny in Philli. Boston Legal was great. South Park genius.

Fawlty Towers was one of the best comedies ever made.
It had hype for good reason.

The first 3/4 series  of Friends, very good. After that , awful.

Never really got into many  others, although I did enjoy Married with Children

Quote from: Munchie on October 28, 2025, 12:44:37 PMThere was no humour in it, it was just cringefest, Manuel's character was horrendous.

one of the classics of its time and for many generations after it, probably getting dated now but I suppose people find the IT crowd funny and the Inbetweeners, which I found utterly shite and cringy as f**k..

Add in the Big Bang Theory into that

Probably  two  of the best  comedies in recent years. 

Although if you include Detectorists as a  "comedy" , then that tops everything.

Again goes down to taste and likes.. and age to an extent..

Inbetweeners a bit too cringy, never really warmed to it. IT Crowd on the other hand had some good episodes, the work outing among the best.

Incredible TV. ARE YOU GAY, ARE YOU A GAY MAN?!

Ah yes, that was  a great episode.

I can't look at  one of those  emergency cords   without thinking of  Chris O'Dowd saying "I'm disabled". 
 And "Some lazy  bastard stole my wheelchair"  ;D

Anyway, back to  deaths.....

Quote from: Munchie on October 28, 2025, 11:14:27 AMOne of these shows the British Media tell you to like and it's a classic, always thought it was pure tripe.
Majority see it as a timeless classic than told to like it. Out of interest which shows do you find humorous?

From that era Porridge I could watch all day and laugh.

Wildweasel74

One of the best comedies ever, especially  if you were of a age that there was only 4 tv channels. Still funny as hell to this day.

In terms of british comedy Fawlty Towers is right up there as one of the best ever. Loved only fools and horses but my favourite was probably Yes Minister/Prime Minister. Brilliantly written and acted.

US comedies, No 1 The Big Bang Theory. Great show. I Would have watched Friends, Frasier etc back in the day and also really like Rules of Engagement.

For me the sign of a great comedy is one where you will quite happily watch it, even when you have seen it multiple times before.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin was probably an acquired taste, but also brilliantly written.

As was Rising Damp. Comedy is so subjective and much to do with what you were exposed to as a child. I didn't, for instance, particularly like Only Fools and Horses but loved Open All Hours. Each to their own.

RIP Prunella,  the show with her husband on the canal boat was beautiful...married nearly 65 years until his death last year

Knew about his foul in the fa cup final which ended up getting the rule changed on professional fouls

Never knew he was barred from playing for Scotland.
