I saw some of Ant & Dec's show the other week and they actually made me chuckle a couple of times. This makes them officially as funny as Extras, with Kath & Kim slightly above. Brand and Brydon rely on external sources too much to prop up their occasional funniness.

People who don't find Family Guy funny are people who want "plot-lines" in their comedy as opposed to jokes.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:26 (seventeen years ago) link

no we just want better jokes

i only saw (a bit of) 'arrested development' for the first time on sunday. it was ok but not the yuck-fest i'd been promised. by louis jagger.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:33 (seventeen years ago) link

which one is my family? OMG it's not that one that is really unfunny with that carrot dude in it??!!?!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i laugh at Arrested Development and am often in awe of it. i've been wanting to change my posting name to The Itsy Bitsy IRA for the last few days and may still do this.

i might give it another crack of the whip. most US network tv is so fugly is part of the problem.

NOT FUNNY:

Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Marcello's list OTM.

doglatin is insane.

Holy cow, Drawn Together is spectacularly awful! Worst fucking show on the air! Nothing remotely comes close! No, I'm not given to mild hyperbole but DT and overheated insults have a magnetic attraction to each other, can't resist! The whole "kiddie-shit-gone-perverse" meme might've had some charge in the sixties, maybe even five years ago, but that cow's been milked dry! Hey animator dudes, it's OK, you've probably been adults for like ten-fifteen years now, so don't have to symbolically kill your childhoods again and again and again any more!

And am I imagining things or does Doug Benson have the worst toupee in Christendom? And he's like, what, forty?

Upright Citizen's Brigade. UTTER SHIT. Absurdity isn't comedy ENOUGH.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:47 (seventeen years ago) link

My Family is ok if there's nothing better on.

Oh I can't believe we've gotten this far without mentioning "My Hero" which is now in it's fifth or sixth series and they've even replaced Ardal O'Hanlan with the gay dude out of Thin Blue Line/Gimme Gimme Gimme. It is seriously seriously not funny.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Curb is not comedy, it is farce and that's why I don't like it. It's the opposite of Family Guy in that it's all about "hilarious" situations but there aren't really any jokes in it. Family Guy has loads of jokes but the plotlines are very loose.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Curb is not comedy, it is farce

what the fuck are you smoking, son?

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

doglatin's views on this are exactly like his views on dance and electronic music.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

wow, every time i've seen a few moments of that My Hero show, i've wondered "how could they make this any worse?"

and now i know!

wtf u smokin' otm

― teh_kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:51 (seventeen years ago) link

and even the situations aren't that hilarious. matey-boy just goes round behaving like a dick until people get pissed off and then next time he sees them he's all "don't be mad at me, i'm a liberal, i'm a good guy!" but it doesn't work and they hit him/let the air out his tyres/push in front of him in a queue/spit in his schnapps.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Curb is farce. Farce is comedy.

Ypu. Substance over style please.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:53 (seventeen years ago) link

that was meant to say "yup"

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:53 (seventeen years ago) link

larry david, forever saying things like "don't be mad at me, i'm a liberal, i'm a good guy!"

yeh that's cye.

Family Guy = substance lol

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:56 (seventeen years ago) link

at least it has jokes.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:57 (seventeen years ago) link

how does 'hilarious situations, no jokes' equate 'style over substance' and 'loads of jokes but no plot' = substanstial?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:57 (seventeen years ago) link

a "joke" doesn't have to mean "set up --> punchline".

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarcasm < Puns < Farce < Slapstick < Knock Knock < Nonsense < Badgers

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 10:59 (seventeen years ago) link

errr ok.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

how does 'hilarious situations, no jokes' equate 'style over substance' and 'loads of jokes but no plot' = substanstial?

Because surely funny = stuff that is funny like jokes or funny ideas as opposed to some guy going round and being chastised (quite rightly) for being an uppity shitbag.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

surely funny = stuff that I/you/we laugh, smirk or smile at?

this shocking revelation could really undermine the purpose of this thread tho i fear.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

This debate is certainly NOT FUNNY.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:14 (seventeen years ago) link

it's not supposed to be.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:16 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not supposed to be a "debate" either. List things that are NOT FUNNY instead of burbling on about nothing.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:17 (seventeen years ago) link

The Mornington Crescent thread.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I forgot ILX was just about lists, not debating anything.
