the majority of Python was crap , there was an abundance of ****e skits and silly animation that went on waaaay too long .
However Python also displayed some of the greatest comedy sketches too this day .
The greatest comedy movie And it had its fair share of satire and pathos is Life of Brian it is a total work of art .

Now at work last night i again had to suffer Big Bang theory , its got rat-tat-tat comedy , its written as if the audience are expected to nod off if a "joke isnt delivered within 3 seconds .
Infact i think 3 seconds is probably the maximum time between the canned laughter .

the episode i saw was the one where the tall skinny one gets burgled , gah! cue jokes about geeky things that got stolen

Agreed about Monty's Python.

Some of it is dross and some of it is genius.
 
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.

Have to dissagree with the American thing Ernie, Cheers has been one of the best scripted comedies I've seen over the years, great characters with great storylines

Agreed. The first 3 or 4 series (with Shelley Long rather than Kirstie Back Alley) were genius.

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.

exactly.
it wasn't meant to be funny.
it was a sweet drama.
I enjoyed it.
 
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.

The Roger Lloyd Pack thread has got me thinking about **** sitcoms and I didn't want to clutter that thread up for obvious reasons.

There have been some 'comedies' on over the years that I have just found utter dog manure and feel the need to name and shame the bottom three.


3. The Green Green Grass. What were they thinking? Should never have been made, an insult to OFAH, which as we've established we ALL love and cherish.

2. Father Ted. I had to sit through about ten episodes in one night whilst at the in laws over Christmas and don't think I so much as chortled once. Maybe it's for the Irish.

1. Red Dwarf. Just f**k off, seriously just f**k off. I have no more to say on this pile of steaming horse shizer without blowing a fuse.
I make no apologies for saying this but anyone who uses the phrase 'Smeghead' needs a hard slap 'round the chops.

Endex.

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 :emoticon-0102-bigsm

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.
