Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Clinton Hammond Date: 19 Feb 06 - 07:20 PM "Give me Red Dwarf, Blackadder, The Fast Show or Father Ted any day" Add Fawlty Towers to that list and ya got a deal! " 'Malcolm in the Middle'" First season was pretty good... but it needed to stop then... now it's just garbage.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Firecat Date: 19 Feb 06 - 05:48 PM sorry, but I can't stand Little Britain. I've tried watching it once or twice, and I can't understand the "humour". Give me Red Dwarf, Blackadder, The Fast Show or Father Ted any day (and of American ones, The Simpsons and Futurama). |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,DB Date: 19 Feb 06 - 09:27 AM A few bits are funny (Vicky Pollard, the aide who's in love with the Prime Minister etc.) but it's all a bit repetitive and rather cruel. At the moment there are actually some American shows that I find funnier than many British ones: 'The Simpsons' (of course) and 'Malcolm in the Middle' - anyone watch that? |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST Date: 18 Feb 06 - 03:56 PM It doesn't matter how hard you try to cram your eyes full of shit, there will always be a teensy weensy spot where Vicky Pollards tracksuit shows through. That's the beauty of the show. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Cluin Date: 18 Feb 06 - 03:51 PM I'd rather not have to make that choice, myself. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Clinton Hammond Date: 18 Feb 06 - 02:21 PM I'd rather watch Curb Your Enthusiasm.... Or Arrested Development... Or Kenny VS Spenny.... And I'd rather cram my own shit into my eyes than watch those! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Mr Fox Date: 18 Feb 06 - 12:55 PM About as funny as a funeral on a wet Monday morning. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST Date: 17 Feb 06 - 06:33 PM Loved it. As good as League of Gentlemen ( and I didn't think that was possible.) Yeah but........ |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Bunnahabhain Date: 17 Feb 06 - 05:59 PM The only posible reason for this horible, unfunny programme to be watched, or even exist, is to try and make the particular class of unpleasent people it caracatures seem slightly less objectionable. Just like the varioius classes of 'music' that consist of swearing and a beat, or the stranger religious cults, if people wish to indulge, then they can, but please do not inflict it upon others! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,Desdemona Date: 17 Feb 06 - 11:53 AM My partner, myself, my kids and pretty much everyone I respect are all OBSESSED with 'Little Britain'; genius, sheer genius! Ray McCooney is my hands-down favourite, but Emily Howard and Daffyd are well in the running! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Clinton Hammond Date: 17 Feb 06 - 11:21 AM "Longevity is no guarantee of humour." 50 million Elvis fans can't be all wrong.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: *Laura* Date: 17 Feb 06 - 11:19 AM Vicky Pollard is alive and living in Yeovil and frequently catches my bus. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Cluin Date: 16 Feb 06 - 10:52 PM Well, I guess people have different tastes then, because I and a lot of people I know find it funny as hell. And Clint, Hee Haw was on TV a lot longer. Longevity is no guarantee of humour. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Feb 06 - 08:28 PM The funny thing is that anyone ever finds/found Little Britain funny in the first place. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Clinton Hammond Date: 16 Feb 06 - 04:03 PM Back?!?! This thread is 2 years old.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Big Al Whittle Date: 16 Feb 06 - 03:44 PM hooray....jOhn's back! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Clinton Hammond Date: 16 Feb 06 - 03:27 PM South Park IS funny.... Otherwise it wouldn't have been on TV for so long... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Den Date: 16 Feb 06 - 03:24 PM Not for me. I didn't even crack a smile once. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Liz the Squeak Date: 16 Feb 06 - 10:09 AM Don't like it. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,Cluin Date: 15 Feb 06 - 10:44 PM Yeah, but then you think South Park is funny. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Clinton Hammond Date: 15 Feb 06 - 06:46 PM I've seen 4 or 5 episodes, and I haven't laughed once at it.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,Cluin Date: 15 Feb 06 - 06:35 PM We get it on this side of the pond now. It's funny as hell! Haven't laughed this hard since Harry Enfield. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Pied Piper Date: 11 Dec 04 - 05:50 AM I watched it for the first time last night (has it moved to an earlier time?) and enjoyed it, but I agree shooting stars is much better and it's not in the same league of gentlemen. I'm a reformed lapsed radio 4 listener and to my mind I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, is just about as good as it gets. Sven's new musical career is successful, and Samantha is hoping his seven-inch will get to the number 2 slot. PP |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Dec 04 - 10:01 PM Eh eehh!! Eh ehh ehh eh. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Les from Hull Date: 10 Dec 04 - 02:13 PM Quite good, better than most of US 'comedy', but not as good as 'My life in film' or 'Mighty Boosh'. (in my opinion, of course) |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Nemesis Date: 09 Dec 04 - 05:14 PM Is vomit rubbish? |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,Bruce Baillie Date: 09 Dec 04 - 05:05 PM ...who says vomit ain't funny? I've written loads of stuff featuring vomit! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,bRUCE bAILLIE Date: 09 Dec 04 - 05:03 PM |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 08 Dec 04 - 05:13 PM GUEST-Are you really sure you want that one, becase if you change your mind, then have to take it back, it will be a right kerfuffle! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Big Al Whittle Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:58 PM no my wife is watching the celebrities in the jungle. I'm sitting here trying to understand some pissed off americans going on about bush. they're an odd race. theres one lot that say he's a stinker, ah jaysus......we hate him! They keep coming up with odd facts about the guy a bit like that bowling for columbine geezer. If they're right, even his bloody dog would hate him. Another guy has started a thread. I voted for him. why don't you like me. Everybody's written , cos you voted for him, you bastard , or words to that effect. who needs comedy shows when you've got the americans to listen to.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:01 PM I want that one! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST Date: 08 Dec 04 - 03:40 PM I just cant watch the "bitty" character in this series, and in the last I couldnt watch the granny lover character. But I love it! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST Date: 08 Dec 04 - 02:42 PM *LOL* Just twigged what youre doing j0hn...subtle! Truly you ARE a man with hidden depths.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: *Laura* Date: 08 Dec 04 - 02:25 PM I don't like it much - except for a few bits which are brilliant. Some of it (the good bits) are a bit like a cross between Monty Python and The League of Gentlemen. (only they damp each other down - one being silly-funny and one being scary-funny. if you understand me...) But overall.............. nah. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 08 Dec 04 - 02:11 PM Yeah, I know. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Michael Date: 08 Dec 04 - 01:41 PM I don't watch it but then I'm a lady and a lady wouldn't watch any thing like that, would she? |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Rapparee Date: 08 Dec 04 - 09:22 AM I have two televisions and cable, but I doubt that I've watched two hours of the stuff in the last month. Besides -- I'm in the US. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Ellenpoly Date: 08 Dec 04 - 08:52 AM LOL!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: George Papavgeris Date: 08 Dec 04 - 08:43 AM Err... you grew up? ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Ellenpoly Date: 08 Dec 04 - 08:38 AM Loved the first series, despise the second one. What happened??? |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Paco Rabanne Date: 08 Dec 04 - 07:55 AM Shooting Stars pisses on it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Davetnova Date: 08 Dec 04 - 07:46 AM It's hard to see with no Tv (but I think I live near there). |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Leadfingers Date: 08 Dec 04 - 07:14 AM I wasnt impressed when it was on Radio Four , and now its gone to T V it is NOT going to make me want to get a television after eighteen years without . |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: George Papavgeris Date: 08 Dec 04 - 05:09 AM ...which isn't really saying that much, to be honest. Another mediocre programme with just a few gems in it, but not enough. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Dave Hanson Date: 08 Dec 04 - 05:08 AM Best TV comedy since the Fast Show. eric |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:41 AM Yeah, I know. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: John MacKenzie Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:40 AM It's like the curate's egg funny in parts, and disgustingly unfunny in others. I for one don't find vomit amusing. Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: George Papavgeris Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:39 AM It has some real gems in it, but not enough to put it in my "category A" programmes. And it's not just me being an old fogey (which I am). My own 19-yr old daughter and her boyfriend think the same. They'd still rather watch Blackadder, or Open All Hours, or Only Fools And Horses, or Absolutely Fabulous, or Friends, or Rising Damp, or The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin for the 50th time on video. God bless the VCR. And guess what - I am taking my Morecombe & Wise tapes to Oz next week. It may be unseasonably hot, but we're going to have a proper Christmas! And no Cliff Richard holding his face up with braces on the London Palladium for the dubious entertainment of a 60-year old Prince and the masses. Deary me, no - it's M&W for us and the Basil Brush Christmas Special. OK, I lied about Basil Brush. |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST,Sooz (at work) Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:10 AM Watched it for the first time last night - some of it was funny, but the bits in between might put me off watching again! |
Subject: RE: BS: Little Britain From: GUEST Date: 08 Dec 04 - 04:09 AM No but no but yeah but no wat append was right wont even near it no but yeah no but no but yeah |
Subject: BS: Little Britain From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 08 Dec 04 - 03:55 AM Anyone watching it? its funny. |
