Mrs Brown's Boys and Citizen Khan have to top the list, Derek not far behind and there's a new sketch show with two black lads, which is possibly the least funny thing I've ever seen. And how the hell did Jack Whitehall win comedian of the year, every time I see him, I want to twat him.
I am sure you miserable bastards just watch TV, just to complain about it. Red Dwarf reminds me of growing up, so of course I love it, same with OFAH, now Green Green Grass was dire. any spin-off series is ****. Even Friends is unfunny, the one thing yanks can't do very well is comedy. Their dramas are top notch. Spitting Image, HIGNFY, QI.......... all satire shows are great.
you don't have to apologise. his voice goes through me! why couldn't he have been the Ronnie to peg it instead of the comedy genius that was Barker?
I really dont think Derek is a sitcom. Gervais himself has said it wasnt meant to be, and that's not just an excuse for it not being funny. If it was being pigeon-holed it's probably more of a 'heartwarming, love story'. I certainly didnt laugh much.
Carmine, can't disagree more about Father Ted, it's bloody brill. Women's fecking knickers! Red Dwarf I quite enjoyed as well, some of the episodes were a bit crap but there was some absolutely cracking moments that give it the merit to avoid being mentioned in a list of the worst. Little Britain is one of those things that was worth a giggle the first time you saw it, like phonejacker/facejacker, but it's do repetitive I can't believe they even thought of making a series of it. It got very ****e very quickly. Mrs Browns Boys is utterly utterly ****e, which is a shame, coz every time the mrs' family have a family do which I get dragged along to, without doubt whether it's hosted by parents, uncles, aunties, cousins, sisters, Mrs Browns Boys ****ing box set always spends the day and night on repeat.
I forgot about My Family, you can add that to my list too, utter drivel. And it's also reminded me about Home to Roost with John Thaw, that was ****ing terrible too.
If I remember correctly, starring that bloke as his son who went on to play football hooligan in a film which had scenes shot at Valley Parade during half time in a Bratfud vs City match. Was anyone else there? It was well weird, we saw loads of police at the other end of the ground leading a man down the touchline and we all thought it was a City fan. He then broke away from the police and ran to the City end so we all cheered as he punched the air in our direction. Moments later we all clocked the camera crew and felt quite sheepish
I wasn't there, but surely that'd've been better off being filmed at that game when we played Bratfud at home and they won the league, when we gave most the ground to Bratfudistani's. That was pretty mental.
Watched House of Fools, the new one with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer on IPlayer last night. Haven't laughed out load at a sitcom for ages and did several times during this. Totally bonkers, entirely surreal but hilarious.
I'm sure it was probably a location thing in that the filming was done in west Yorks and the stadium needed to be modern looking. I'm pretty sure it wasnt cos it had to be Bradford City and they wanted it when most of their fans were going mental.
