Any nominations for the worst tv comedy you've ever seen ? Needs a bit of thought but first one that comes to mind is Slingers Day starring Bruce Forsythe

First series was good.

Worst comedy has to be that one with Jamie Theakston.

The Office. Gives me an almost uncontrollable desire to massacre the lot of them with an AK-47.

Absolutely Fabulous has a similar effect.

French and Saunders can sometimes be completely stupid and not funny at all. One episode had one of them wandering around with "WRINKLEY ARSEHOLE" (sic) written on her handbag in big letters. WTF is that supposed to be about?

Presumably some reference to Noel Edmonds' Crinkly Bottom?

Pigeon, surely that was the whole point of the office??

I'd say Two Pints.... AWFUL. First time you watch, you almost think its a pisstake, because the jokes are THAT bad!

The Office the most cringe making unfunny crap ever, (only ones who think it is funny is Richard & Judy and Ricky Gervais. Even the man himself seems half way up his own arse. Is it me or does anyone else just want to smack him.

Closely followed by Alan Partridge and The Royale Family

- same old plot cringe=funny err NO it fing well does not get off the bandwagon.

not the office. i used to think it was utter cr4p, until i watched a couple of episodes all the way through and realised how much my (now ex) boss was like David Brent and hence just how much of a piss-take it all really is.

I’d like to say Friends but never actually watching a whole episode that would be unfair.

Probably Terry and June then.

Bo Selecta is by far the worst.

I quite liked the office until i watched a documentory about Ricky Gervais. He's not acting, he really IS David Brent in real life.

Possibly Little Britain, or any of those other "Oooh look at me, I'm so funny! type shows.

Spend enough time in enough offices and you will recognise all of the characters in The Office.

People like those run business in this country. A remarkable thought really.

The spread of opinions so far must go a long way to making a formula for comedy almost impossible.

What an interesting thread this may turn out to be!
