As usual with a "rubbish comedy thread" if it is allowed to run its course, every comedy programme ever made will be listed as unfunny. Tiny bit pointless isn't it?

Depends whether you take it as a subjective discussion of personal preference or a declaration of object fact.

Problem is comedy is very subjective, one man's Black Adder II is another's Phsycoville!

True enough, but thats no reason to stifle discussion.

And anyway, both Blackadder II and Psychoville were great!

2.5 Children.

Anything Atkinson has done since Blackadder.

The Brittas Empire.

The Royale Family.

Bread.

The Liver Birds.

Lets not forget the utterly excremental Last of the Summer Wine - still it keeps the grandparents quiet.

Never the Twain with Windsor Davies and Donald Sinden was so bad it was quite watchable.

I liked that!! In an infuriating way Ronnie C was very good in it I though!

Hyacynth Bucket show thing is dire though!

And who said Father Ted and Curb your Enthusiasm.......go stand in the corner and think about what you did! !


I like E L Raymond and King Of Queens is quite amusing too!!

Whoever mentioned Father Ted you'de better keep one eye open in your sleep as I'm coming for YOU!

Father Ted is the Best Sitcom Ever Made. Amazing funny, brilliantly written and acted and it has something no other sitcom has managed.... it was contemporary yet is also utterly timeless and has not aged at all.

Superb

RE the debate above about comedy being subjective... this is why I said Heil Honey I'm Home it is so risible, so cliche'd, so out of date and just so plain wrong.

Oh dear, Father Ted criticism was me I'm afraid. I've only watched a few episodes and it did nothing for me. Maybe I should give it another chance? We disagree on KOTH as well!

We do agree on some stuff luckily - I'm just recently getting into 'Curb' and love it so far. I think I tend to like the more cynical, slow-burning stuff...

Well I can certainly see the total lack of sense of humour that many people have on PH - certainly explains responses on many other threads. Having been brought up in multiple countries I pretty much like most comedy and am not subject to many of the prejudices that I think some in the UK are which alters their experience of comedy.

Of course there are obvious exceptions :

Horne & Corden
Russell Brand (I've really tried to like him - he comes across as having a bit of intelligence and good vocabulary, but I can't)
Ricky Gervais (The Office was good, but I think the American one is funnier)
Lee Evans
Victoria Wood
Simon Pegg
Katherine Tait
Little Britain after the first series
Three Pints

But you are both reading it and probably agree with a significant number of the suggestions too ? wink
