I'd add comedies like 'Phoenix Nights' (before Peter Kays limitations were found out), 'The League of Gentlemen' (Mighty Boosh only funny), 'The Inbetweeners', 'Dads Army' (from back in the day) and a little uknowwn gem called '15 Storeys High' Plus the very recent Ricky Gervais driven show 'Karl Pilkington: An Idiot Abroad'.
Is your lovely lady friend single after all these years?! Shes incredibly cute if you/she doesn't mind me saying :)
Sorry guys these two videos are terrible. A lot of the shows you mentioned are good, but you can't remember/don't know half of the information about the shows, you try and describe the shows by using examples that won't translate to someone who hasn't seen the show and clearly haven't thought about what you're going to say about each show before you talk about them, so that it's just a long monotone ramble. Sorry to be so -ve, but with good prep could have been genuinely informative.
@davidhellard um, fuck off? I normally wouldn't bother responding to something like this but damn son!? do you really think we give a flying fuck? If you don't like our videos (that were made 4 friggin' years ago) don't watch them, it's as simple as that. I personally couldn't give a rats arse what anyone thinks about these videos. We made them for fun, nothing else. So, like I said, if you don't like them, off you fuck.
sorry SJ, havind read it back what I said probably came across as pretty harsh. Had been watching the UK office clips and was linked to yours. I'm extremely passionate about UK comedy (some) and given the prominence youtube clips now have, compared everything I wanted to be said about our comedy to what you had said - didn't check the date etc and obviously hard to live up to. Still your response is even more extreme than my initial comments. As a peace offering download sunny in philadelphia
15 storeys high, I felt, was worth a mention... also Chris Morris was in 'Jam' and 'The Day Today', and I recommend watching the episode called 'WAR', as I cried with laughter. Kudos on the Armando Iannucci factor, but he has his own, totally amazing show, aptly named 'The Armando Iannucci Shows'; perhaps the best show I've ever seen in my entire life. I recommend you watch it, because I believe it's in everyone's best interests to do so.
I'm over in the US, and I saw "The Mighty Boosh" on BBC America and was quite tickled by it. Unfortunately, after having watched the couple of episodes that were airing back-to-back when I had just discovered the show, I didn't get to see anymore of it as BBC America subsequently appeared to have dropped the show from their programming schedule and replaced it with interminable marathons of Cash in the Attic.
Spaced- without a doubt, hands down the funniest thing ever on TV (except the Simpsons). Loads of clever Film references, absurd humour, robot wars, and stealing a tank to invade Paris. yes.
Ahh yes England has all the best comedy in my opinon. The accent helps you guys out a lot in addition to the matierial. Of those the best I thought were Bill Bailey and of course Gervais. Still hangin out for Extras season 2 here. It's taking it's time.
Trigger Happy Tv! I think that's the only one I personally recognized. I couldn't tell if you said you liked it or hated it but I thought that show was pretty funny. It was on comedy central for awhile here.
and this isn't really a comedy, but there was a UK tv version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe that showed on PBS a long time ago, like in the 80's. I liked it alright when it came on, but I saw it again a couple of years ago and it was the cheesiest crap you could subject a poor kid to. I couldn't sit through more than a half hour of it.
hey, thats a nice idea! did your sister style you? good job, you looks cool now, dude? apropos uk comedy, you forgot one important newcomer, you all should know. tho not able to speak out comlex words, she is really able to turn you upsidedown with a jiggle in your belly. i think her name is bryana..or..bramony..beerony. just look it up, shes cool! yea, wish you the best! btw, flytrap in the background, never saw it in such fancy colors. surely wasn't cheap. ;)
sooorry, its the union jack, gosh, but why do you stretch it allover you window, because of the flies? or do you live in front of a refugees camp, keeping away people who seek asylum and creep around your backyard, ? I don't know. really fancy colors!
The things are once again pleased with this video offering! lol
Sean of the dead came out here but about a year after it came out over there, but I loved it. Ali G has gotten really really popular over here in America lately, I think hes pretty hilarious but sometimes he can be a bit much. His Borat movie is coming out over here this fall, has it been released over there in the UK yet? I'm not sure if it was released in the UK first because it's all Borat over here in the US.
EXTRAS played on HBO here in America.. Ricky is a genius! And of course the Enlish Office was much better than the US version... but i did hear that Ricky G. was going to wrtie an episode of the US Office this upcoming season.
Is Maggie Jacobs popular over there before Extras came out? Cause i think she's really funny/good/cute.. need to see more of her
Also, in terms of British stand-ups, Russell Brand definitely deserves a mention. Quite surreal but very intelligent, very philosophical and very funny.
you guys have good taste in comedy, although you missed Peter Kay (Stand-Up, Max & Paddy, Pheonix Nights..etc.), David Mitchell & Robert Webb (Peep Show) Also got to give credit to Stephen Merchant for Co-writing The Office!! Also his appearance in it as the Oggmonster haha. And he also stars in Extras as Ricky's agent and helped write that too.
Did you see "Festival" on Channel 4 the other night? All the reviews I've read of it absoloutely panned it, but what I saw (missed the end) seemed pretty good...
