Shadow1964, the first post does say "If you like Vic and Bobs humour you are going to enjoy this."
Vic and Bob are marmite, it's just that everybody else did get it/are V&B fans. If Big Night Out, Shooting Stars etc aren't your thing, House Of Fools isn't going to change anything. That's fair enough.
Yes, that is a fair point well made and presented so maybe I should get back in my box. I actually don't mind some of their earlier stuff. Still, stand by the annoying reciting viewpoint of mine though.Vic and Bob are marmite, it's just that everybody else did get it/are V&B fans.

Just watched it and found it very funny, first time I have really LOLed at a tv programme in ages. The neighbour with her camera tickled me for some reason Brilliant pilot, cant wait for the next episode. (then again I think Mulligan and O'hare Pancake Day is one of the funniest things I have ever seen )

I was another lover too, to the extent I watched it again on i-player. It's my testament to how funny I found it. Father Ted aside, I tend not to watch repeats. The parody of the " Heimlich manoeuvre" involving poor Vic's nut sack was side splitting and eye watering in equal measure. Bring on the next episode.
I watched this last night.
It's typical Vic and Bob so if you don't like them, you won't like this.
I thought it was brilliant - it takes a lot of Yank cliches like starting every scene with an external view of the apartment and a lot is done in front of a live audience, "Fresh Prince" style.
Can't fault it but it does appeal to my quirky nature.

It had its moments - squeaky floor, goodbye shapes...
Definitely not as funny this time round, but still nothing that won't turn me away from the next episodes, mind.The Vic serving breakfast, squeaky floor and Bob somehow manages to get himself stuck in the cylinder had me in stitches.
