English Comedy

[Avicenna]

Little Britain is a must too.

Bean > blackadder

[English assassin]

Mate if you think that then i don't believe you ever watched the show. Bottom is so funny i ache from laughter after richie and eddie violent exploits. Mate seriously can you say you never laughed at bottom?

I can't say I NEVER laughed at Bottom, but it IS basically fart jokes, and the Young Ones was better.

[Duke Malcolm]

Blackadder
Father Ted
Red Dwarf
Fawlty Towers
Chewin' the Fat
Still Game is excellent

I found Little Britain quite disappointing after the first series, though I went to see them in the Clyde Auditorium in February, which was fantastic, although the pair are not suited to live stage work, they made quite a few mistakes...

[Red Peasant]

Lots of good stuff here.
I saw The Mighty Boosh stage show recently ... Mad and Hilarious!

Black Books

Ok, it's written by two Irish guys, but we rule their asses and they know it...(jk) Ok, on a more sensible (and realistic) note, several talented brit comedians like bill bailey are involved...worth it to see him doing stand up ... ahhh...the laminated book of joy,and the mysterious tea and coffee making facilites.


...and of course blackadder/the young ones/bottom ... not quite sure which has got closest to making me vomit from laughter - really depends on how much you find someone getting hit repeatedly with a fryingpan to be... you know the answer for me...

[Mikeus Caesar]

The Young Ones, funniest show ever. Especially good when a plane crashes into the house.

Yeah, British comedy rules.

[English assassin]

And, how could I have forgotten, Vic Reeves Big Night Out.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I can't say I NEVER laughed at Bottom, but it IS basically fart jokes, and the Young Ones was better.

Mate Young ones was not a patch on bottom, not in the same league, more like Vauxhall conference compared to the Premiership


For madness Bottom, wit blackadder and for satire Brasseye, for the latter it was in a league of its own, poor Chris Morris in that rubbish on channel 4, IT or something like that. A pile of bollocks

[English assassin]

Well we may not agree on Bottom but I'm with you on Brasseye. "I'm talking Nonce sense" "Cake: its a made up drug."

Or was that The Day Today, I forget.

Oh, and what was that programme where Daisy Donovan went round interviewing people and making them say absolutely filthy things without realising it, I nearly wet myself when she got Ann Widdecome to say you had to give good head to be successful in politics. Yeah, OK, Dennis Pennis did it first but its still funny.

The eleven o'clock show, I think.

[Moros]

black adder, fast show, faulty towers (every Monty python really), you rang my lord?, err... so much more.

[Ronin]

Blackhadder and Yes Minister are my favorites..


actually I´m not sure Yes Minister counts as a comedy.....I´m not totally convinced that things don´t really happen like that in real politics

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I would also out peter cook and dudley moore derek and clive tapes. Extremely rude but very, very funny
