Smooth Operator 10 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Seems to be the general concensus in the office too, some bits were well funny (e.g. Vicky Pollard) and some bits were too long and too predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22759 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I quite liked the bitch fight at the health farm. Trouble is to keep its shock value, it has to become more extreme, and is getting less funny as a result - witness the Sebastien sketch. The new characters were also disappointing, the accent of the thai bride was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I've always thought it was a bit overrated. Some of the sketches are class, some a bit shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Harry Enfield = The Fast Show = Little Britain A bit preamble, then laugh at the designated line. Gets old very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 545 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I missed it last night, I've liked it but not gone as crazy as some people with the "It's the best British comedy ever", I don't even think it's the best comedy around at the moment. Like I say it's canny but loads of hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon most Notherners prefer the humour in the League of Gentlemen or Phoenix nights, I know I do. The Office is probably my favourite mind and that was set down south.

Only Fools is still the winner for me and that was set down sarth although Father Ted is always in with a shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right to some extent about the north/south thing. Although alot of Beeb comedies get massive cross media pushes with their own adverts on BBC 1 and 2 plus the radio stations.

I always thought it was derivative crap. 57669[/snapback] I thought that aswell, but when you are talking about sketch shows they all tend to have bits and pieces from other ones to some extent. The one that stuck out for me in LB is the Marjorie Daws one, blatent rip off of The League of Gentlemen's Pauline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the "I'm a lady" one, flogging a dead horse last series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lifted that word for word from Blackadder and used it in almost the same context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because she isn't just a catchphrase. The other brilliant one was the black Preacher from the states, he only had one sketch though.

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Phoenix Nights was class. Was a little disappointed with last night's Little Britain but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as it's only the first episode. I've always disliked it a little even though I enjoy the program because David Walliams strikes me as a bit of a wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
