Does anyone else watch British Comedies?

[meegannie]

Asinine and not funny.

...could also be used to describe "Bo Selecta."

Black Books

Thats one of my current faves...i got to see Dylan Moran, who plays bernard the bookshop owner, on his last stand-up tour in the UK (Liverpool to be precise) last time i was there

Bottom

The finest programme the bbc has ever made. There's no such thing as comedy with too much innuendo.
Incidentally I'm going to do a plug for Rik Mayall's autobiography that's out in a couple of weeks time:
Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ.

That'll be worth a read on the basis of the title alone.

Where's the "Coupling" love?


I BBC America!

Other best of British comedies:

Rising Damp
The Royle Family

Plus most of the Carry On films.

Tell me you guys also liked Guesthouse Paradiso? What a pisser!

"Oh, that's the basque seperatist mice"

 

[GibsonGirl]

Ab Fab!

"Oh, that's the basque seperatist mice"

That film is so underrated, possibly Cinema's finest ever moment:
"It's pronounced 'Thwaite' "
"Well it's spelt Twat."

 

[Angela Harlem]

Have you ever seen the features on the dvd? They went through a ridiculous amount of fake vomit getting those last scenes right. 12 vats of it or something, lol.

Bottom is outstanding

Yeah I saw the last two shows, you can get the coolest tour hoodies ever. They're grey and just say 'Bottom' on the front.

I loved that show so much and spend most of puberty quoting from it:

"Well thats just effing marvellous, isnt it."

I can't post the next bit in full cos I'll get chucked off the board but for those who've seen the joy of sex bit:

"I dont think I've got time to grow a beard!
Hang on a minute that's not a beard."

The first 3 live tours were great imo.

To be honest I absolutely think British comedies are so much better than the shit that comes on our tvs here.

I'd say it's a tie !!

Don't start that again!

Then really ... It's a tie !!

 

[tarquinsuperb]

The Brits can't boast too much about our comedy heritage, not after the way we treated Seinfeld.

God Save The Quim!!

Another Royal joke:

"The Queen's...jugs?
Eddie,
A: the Queen doesn't have jugs, she's royalty; and
B: she would hardly get them out on the back of a fiver. She'd save them up for the fifty."

 

[Aardvark747]

"Why's she got 3 knockers?"

"No that's Bobby Charlton in the middle!"

 

[Discoteque]

wow, I was beginning to think I was the only one.

I love 'Black Adder,' 'Coupling', Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Good Neighbors, and lots of others, but I draw the line at 'Are you Being Served'...to me, it's not even funny...annoying, actually.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Are You Being Served has to be some of the funniest stuff ever to show on tv. The sendups done on that show over the years double it's worthiness.

"Mrs Slocombe, you're very late-"
"Well, the bus broke down on the way here so I peered over the lad as he was attempting to fix the bit under the thingie part and asked if he would 'like a screw....driver' "

"I left my cat outside last night and now my pussy is frozen solid!"

"I have a large quivering bosom"

"I had a short black for breakfast, can't remember his name though. Then I had a fag. I really should take up smoking.."
