Rolling UK Comedy Thread - "Ricky Don't Lose Larry David's Number

Sorry, not the Renaissance. Fitness First.

i love the Malcolm Tucker one - so topical

"I'd like to see the Spaniard who could get past me!"
"Well go to Spain, there are millions of them."

Videogaiden February Christmas Retro Special

Easily the funniest guys in Britain right now. Lolled at so much of this, especially the Emily Booth and Dave Perry stuff.

banking a lot on people remembering Gamesmaster but yeah I approve

"hotter than Cathy Dennis and Betty Boo writhing together in the same grave"

Isn't that the Poptimists motto?

That Ricky Gervais article at the top of the thread was going so well until the last paragraph.

"Do you really think that's wise, sir?">>>>"Stupid boy"

"Do you really think that's wise, sir?"

Aching for an Eric Morecambe punchline, that was.

dvd "rom" ?

it's only just occurred to me how weird it sounds

that's why it's read only AHAHAHAHAHAHA

*sigh*

Still missing him?

Bart: Mom, I just saw Krusty!
Marge: Yes, dear, in your mind.
Bart: No, on the street.
Marge: On the street in your mind.

e) "Do you know if Foxton's is owned by Bruce Foxton of The Jam?"

i am listening to this RIGHT NOW. i love this show.

Halfway through Teenage Kicks.

ITV really is in trouble, isn't it?

Eddie Hitler meets My Family -> THIS DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE

oh how the mighty have fallen etc.

more Gavin & Stacey love

Oh man I read a painful interview with Ade Edmonson in the Daily Mail the other day. He's on a "first rule of comedy - you must have reality" kick and in denial about everything he's previously done. Which is fine until you watch that shite he's just written.

more Gavin & Stacey love

Rob Brydon's best work since Marion & Geoff in this.

Why does no one ever talk about 'Pulling'? It is pretty good, I think.

I don't know which is worse, Ade Edmondson being interviewed in the Daily Mail or an ilxor reading it.

Pulling, that's pretty shit.

Saw Gavin and Stacey for the first time last night. It's pretty good at what it does, but its gentle character comedy and light whimsy hardly excited me. All a bit Richard Curtis, dare I say it.

the last few episodes of G&S have been a bit off - start with the first series altho none of it is 'exciting' as such.

So, hey, I watched that The Wall last night. That's not so good.

Although, in defence of this nation, "Listen: don't knock The Jam, they was there for a lot of people" may be the funniest thing anyone has said this decade.

it's no The Priory xp

So, hey, I watched that The Wall last night. That's not so good.

"Scallywagga" any good, comedy fans?

It's like Blunder... ON (CHAV) DRUGS!

Ah right, "Blunder", had to google that... Jesus

the inbetweeners anyone?

i like. it's like 'on the buses' but with 6th form kids.

i thought it was quite sweet

i like love soup

but i would, wouldn't i

that last ep ended badly tho.

i caught seven and a half minutes of something called Two Pints of lager blah blah last night and it was the worst british comedy experience i've indeed witnessed.

it's not for you

2pints fascinates me for reasons i can't quite explain - the only thing even remotely like it is the old US tv show, "saved by the bell"

That's remote in astrophysics terms - as in light years away from being as good as even "Saved By the Bell"

i like love soup

Saw one episode and it's totally for girls.

Admin: this is an awful sitcom.

I liked Love Soup up to the episodes with Mark Heap. He play a weird combination of creepy and soppy which I did not enjoy. But those outfits they wear in the shop are hot, definitely.

Teenage Kicks turned out all right, apart from the weird Asian jokes.

"Ed Reardon's Week" is as funny as Black Books and Love Soup and sometimes quite a bit funnier. Peng is maybe my favorite British comedy character.
