Meenzer 15716 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Did I hear somewhere that the Americans still like Benny Hill? 164032[/snapback] In the same way that David Hasselhoff has been number 1 in the German charts for the past 20 years...

Lazarus 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 i always remember a Hale and Pace sketch were they were wine tasting in Italy and the fat one with the tash got progressively more and more pissed and started taking the mick out of everything italian. Only funny thing they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Since we're plumbing the depths, ITV3 (or is it 4?) are always showing re-runs of 'Home to Roost' and 'Don't Wait Up'. JWTBH at those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skhwoody 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I love little britain, but the scetches have no place in the top 20 last night. I love some of the timeless humour, the fork handles sketch showed how excellent at wordplay the two ronnies were, there were numerous monty python sketchs there, the yorkshireman's sketch should have been in the top two, "i used to sleep in t'septic tank" - "oh used to dream of t'septic tank" etc, "tell kids these days...." Morcambe and Wise i thought and still think were excellent showing you do not have to swear to get a funny joke across. Their sketch dancing behind Tom jones was a class apart. The I know my place class sketch from the frost report with cleese/barker/corbett Dick emery should have got a sketch or two in there as should have Les Dawson, some of that comedy is as fresh and funny today, showing most of the new upto date humour is just rehashes of good quality humour from days gone by. sorry to rant on but there is so much missed by a supposedly upto date list which bore no resemblance of good top notch humour that this country is and has been capable of... here endeth the lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Big Train is a big favourite of mine, some fantastic comedy in that show. and as for Dads Army, although the opinion police on the board will no doubt shoot me down but, that show is about as funny as cancer. Its lone peak was the "don't tell him your name Pike" line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skhwoody 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) I couldn't resist drawing Scott's attention to them tbh http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/...c,15928.40.html 164004[/snapback] I have a few ideas for sketches too, similar to the Fast Show but funnier. Sorry, but that's fucking genius, reminds me of a line out of Nathan Barley: TV EXEC: Like Swift as Jackass. BARLEY: Or even faster!
