Renton 21983 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Problem is with a lot of these older comedies I watched them first as a stoned student. Now I don't indulge, and they're not funny any more. I think the young ones episode where they have a party (where Rick does his "mousey" act with a tampon) is still class though.

Lazarus 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I always loved Vic and Bob going back to 'Big Night Out'. I was still at school when that started. 163958[/snapback] I always thought Big Night Out was best, until I recently got the DVD. It hasn't aged so well. Some inspired moments of genius among a lot of "very poor" stuff. 163963[/snapback] Speaking of which, did you catch 'The Young Ones' on 'Comedy Connections'? Aged about as well as Brigitte Bardot tbh. 163967[/snapback] 'Ever Decreasing Circles' is beginning to look a bit tired as well. 163969[/snapback] Timeless classic along with Terry and June shirley?

Plus the actors are top notch. I like Dads Army though tbh so what would I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Looking at a lot of them the smarty sthings that we all liked as students have aged less well than the more crafted pieces......... The Historians sketch (or Pete & Dud) now looks pathetic and childish - you laugh (a little) because you remember when you larfed and larfed and larfed out loud - but now...............................

Has he stuck them in a thread somewhere for posterity? "Around Europe with Alan Partridge, in a beautiful bull-nose morris...on the left" I'd love to write a sitcom tbh.

The Fish 10963 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 would have been ebtter if it wasn't left up to the British public to deicde who came top of the list. Bound to pick a modern sketch. The two ronnies "Fork handle" sketch is punnery excellence, I still quake with laughter at most Python stuff, Brass Eye is genius and what won?
