Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Texans love the French and vice versa. The schoolyard banter is mere pillow talk. The Frexas alliance rules all.
In fact my dream is to marry a French/Cajun/Italian/Jewish/Southern Belle. In America I just may find her.
Europe is a wonderful place and when I get some money I will go there and indulge in all the culture I envy so much.

Re : Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Lots of great links and recommendations. I'm checking them all out on YouTube to see which ones deserve a follow up on Amazon. Thanks to you all!
Python? Meh. The only British snakes I like are those creepy crawlers Blackadder and Tony Blair.
I liked 'Life of Brian'. But most of the other Monty Python stuff is too old and, more importantly, too geeky for my liking.
Centurio, have you no idea what irony is? It's when something at first sight looks like it is something else but it actually isn't and instead it is something made out of iron.
Everything goes over your head, doesn't it, Boyar? You should go to Jamaica and become a limbo dancer.
I hate you Texans with your admiration for France! With your oversized hats and your shiny toilet paper with pink flowers and your ridiculous preconceptions that Frenchmen are great lovers! Get real for God's sake! I'm French and I'm hung like a baby carrot and a couple of petits pois.

As a gesture of cross channel entente, my brother had a thing about Jaques Tati when I was a teenager. About as funny as having your nuts scrapped across a cheesegrater.
Which blackadder do you prefer? The first series was dire, absolute rubbish. The second series is my favourite, closely followed by the fourth. Queenie was an inspiration to my wife, also a redhead.

On another note may I present some of the worst comedy and I use that word lightly, ever presented to UK TV screens.
Bless this house.
Father dear father.
Robins nest.
Love thy neighbour.
Mind your language.
Benny Hill. (sorry Greg)
On the other hand some gems, largely unknown...

Brass eye.
The day today.
Alan Partridge.
Mrs. Merton.
The first series of Men behaving badly.

Re : Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
'La vipère noire' is Blackadder, what the series was called on French television. Needles to say, the series tanked. The humour relies on a non-stop verbal barrage, it just doesn't translate well. My father still thinks I'm mad for liking it. He doesn't get it, he thinks it's about Englishmen donning on weird costumes and pulling funny faces in historical settings with cheap decors.Which blackadder do you prefer? The first series was dire, absolute rubbish. The second series is my favourite, closely followed by the fourth. Queenie was an inspiration to my wife, also a redhead.
I myself never did get into it until I finally got a version with English subtitles. The first time I watch, everything sounds like 'Get out, you'll a bit ness wine!'
With subtitles, the aural fog is lifted and the phrase is now revealed to be 'Get out! You libidinous swine!'
Then I watch it for the third time with a dictionary on my lap. And the fourth time, at last, I get to laugh. It is a lot of hard work.
The first series has its moments, but as a whole it simply doesn't work. Rowan Atkinson co-wrote it, and he turned his character into a sort of Mr. Bean. Rubbish. For the second series, they brought in Ben Elton as writer. He polished up the concept and the characters. Now it worked! Just a few characters, set in a small, nearly claustrophobic setting. Edmund Blackadder is stuck in some situation that he can't get out of, and is aided by friends that are even more useless than the people that oppose him.
I can't choose between series two, three or four. I always like the one that I last watched the best. Each of the three is brilliant, each in its own right. If I had to choose, the fourth (WWI) is my favourite. The pigeon and courtroom episode is a complete riot. The Lord Flasheart episode is my favourite of all episodes.
('Ask me why I'm not wearing underpants!'
'Why not, Lord Flasheart?'
'Because the pants that will take the job on haven't been invented yet!')
And they managed a great ending to the entire series. It is so easy to get it wrong if you mix comedy with seriousness, but they got it right perfectly.

Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Americans have Texas
In no particular order - Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Monty Python and Coupling... Probably Blackadder is my favourite.
(Blackadder on Germans): However, their Teutonic reputation for brutality is well deserved. Their operas last three or four days and they have no word for "fluffy".
While we're on the subject of Blackadder, I heard there may be a fifth season. Any truth to that or just a rumour?

Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Never heard of that. I'd be glad though!
Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
My personal favourites include the Vicar of Dibley, Live at the Apollo (they killed Jack Dee off after the 2nd Series replacing him with guest hosts - much more varied) and Mock the Week (sample, but be warned, although this is clean, others are not).
Best comedians include Alan Carr, Michael MacIntyre and Frankie Boyle (the scot on Mock the Week - none of them are really clean enough to post here). Jo Brand is fantastic too - she's also showed her fantastic dancing ability off (compare with the real thing first) lately.
Nice to know foreigners see us Brits as good at something too
Aussies are fantastic too (an Aussie on Mock the Week) - must have inherited it from us lot (or the other way around).

Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Mock the week is quite simply the funniest thing on televsion atm*
*that is currently still running... blackadder father ted ect. don't fall into this category...
Edit: infact you have just convinced me to go watch some right now...
Edit 2: i think people can watch full episodes of mock the week on www.bbc.co.uk on thier 'iplayer' im not so sure about people outside the UK though...

AW: Re : Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Sorry I didn't recognize the irony because you also stated that "Germans build the best cars", and that has absolutely nothing to do with irony, but is instead a fact like the sun rising and setting every day, or gravity or whatever you want...Centurio, have you no idea what irony is? It's when something at first sight looks like it is something else but it actually isn't and instead it is something made out of iron.

I'm an American but I grew up watching Keeping Up Appearances and Fawlty Towers on the public channels.
Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Red Dwarf and One Foot in the Grave haven't been mentioned yet. Some bits of Harry Enfield, such as the Self-Righteous Brothers and Mr Chomondely-Warner. Also, Newman and Baddiel's History Today.
Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
A few years ago there was a special (appearantly there are others but I've never seen them) called Blackadder goes back and forth. Set with modern versions of all the Blackadder characters. Where Baldrick invents a time machine.....Americans have Texas

Re: Waking up at the Crack of Dawn
Blackadder, of course! I've watched these series when I was about ten... It's funny because it's back on the TV and every Saturday I sit, watch and laugh ...
P.S. I would say the First and Second are my favourite and the Third also has its moments. Well, the last, I did not much like it.
