Five over-rated 'trendy' comedies

[JKiF]

 

 

1 Little Britain

2 Goodness Gracious Me/Kumars at No 43

3 Big Train

4 Curb Your Enthusiasm

5 Blue Jam

[Laz]

You could probably add a few more to that list.

 

The candidates for the recent poll were featured in the TV Times the other day and 90% or so were from the 70s and 80s.

 

Why don't we make good programmes anymore !

League Of Gentleman

 

 

[Laz]

Are you adding it to the list or countering my argument, Zealster?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Adding it to the list.

 

It's rubbish.

 

 

[Laz]

Can't say as I've ever watched it.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

League of Gentleman is quality, Zeal are you one of these people who need canned laughther to know when to laugh (One of my family - no pun- actually said that he didn't get the office because he didn't know when to laugh but my family was quality because the canned laughter told him when to laugh)

 

Goodness GM and Kumars are [****!!****], I only saw a couple of the little Britains and they grew on me, I found last nights very good.

 

Haven't seen the others!

 

Top Two Comedys over the last couple of years that were criminally ignored by the mainsteam while everyone laughed at the repeats of Keeping Up Apperances:

1. 15 Storeys High

2. World of Pub

Both bloody classics!

Don't be a twat. It's just unfunny.

You only like it so that you can be seen as irreverent and 'cool'.

i saw only one funny thing on GGMe when they all went out for an 'english'

Erm! .... I liked it because it was funny <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Alan Winn loved it, didn't realise he was trying to be cool!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I wasn't talking about Alan. I was talking about you.

 

If that programme was on ITV1 at 8pm on a Wednesday night, and watched by 13m viewers, you would slag it off, because if everyone else like something, you don't. You only like to be seen enjoying stuff, be it music, TV or whatever, that is underground, has cult status, or is just down-right unheard of, to convey an air of cool.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground

REM - Best of....

Eastenders

The News

The Office

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

The Office is hardly mainstream. It may have been given a BBC1 slot over Christmas, but believe me, that was only watched by the same people who watched Series 1. The Office is still a cult programme.

 

Eastenders? You serious? Absolutely dreadful. Maybe you should go back to being 'cool'!!

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

No - I haven't watched it for ages, apart from last night! What a fraud I am!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Just realised I watched Rail Cops last night, about 5 mins of changing rooms and holiday 2004!

[EFM's Librarian]

I'd tend to agree with Zeal about 'League of Gentlemen' although I strongly suspect my dislike of it may have something to do with the fact that I've only seen a couple of episodes and I reckon you need to follow all the episodes to really appreciate the humour.

 

As for the 'trendy' accusation - how could Thorns prove to you that he really did enjoy it because of the humour? I think that whatever he said you'd still claim he only liked it cos it was trendy.

LOG is definantly a grower, it's very very dark though. Unless you went to wisbeach away then maybe you wouldn't get it <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh dear, Libro. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
