Anybody like british comedy shows?

[lilmikey]

well do ya?

My all time favorite is Fawlty Towers. I also like Red Dwarf

I have recently watched a couple of episodes of Little Britain funny stuff hahaha

[caninemom]

I loved Fawlty Towers. I also really loved Red Dwarf. My favorite was the cat. However, my ultimate favorite in British comedy is Monty Python. Some of their wit I didn't care for (The Life of Brian) but their skits on the TV show like the "cheese shop", "looking for an argument", etc. I found really funny. :P

Fawlty Towers was halarious.

The looking for an argument skit is my all time favorite! no it isn't - yes it is.

[Mandy Robbins]

I loved Fawlty Towers and Red Dwarf too. There was also one on for a little while that I liked called "My Hero". Then "Keeping up Appearances" and "Are you being Served" are some of my favorites also.

[pamcharlie]

Oh yes they are so funny Keeping up appearances is so classic i have a aunt who is very much like Mrs Bucket (Bonquet) My hero is funny too. fawlty towers very funny too.

I saw some Flying Circus the other day. Battle of the Twits, I believe it was. Rather humorous in a :confused: kind of way.

[Mandy Robbins]

There's one my grandma watches every night that is about people in a rest home. She just says "It's time for my little old men."

That's so cute.

I like several of the ones already mentioned. "Fawlty Towers", "Keeping up Appearences", and "Are You Being Served?" Has anyone seen the followup to that called "Are You Being Served Again?"

[Mandy Robbins]

Yes! I thought that one was funny too.

[sandie]

"To the Manor Born" was a great show. I'm sure I'll think of others. l We get a lot of British comedy here.

To the manor born is classic here in new zealand recently we had on tv the manor born several years later it was funny

How about the Good Life

[Jason]

I am a British comedy.

[Mandy Robbins]

JASON! You're back!

[pamcharlie]

Let's see Jason is a british comedy hmm

Yes Minister , Yes Prime Minister and how about chef and the vicar of dibley

Chef stars Lenny Henry and the vicar of dibley stars his wife dawn french , who starred with jennifer saunders in the comedy show french and saunders

[sandie]

Yes Minister was such a classic. Such duelling between the politician and the Public Servant. Marvellous.

[SacredHeart]

I've generally not been a fan of british humor...until i saw this movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/). It's easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. LOVED IT! (inspite of it's potty mouth language)

[pamcharlie]

How about the brit comedy series about the dentist and his family My Family that is so funny

What abouit Dad's Army so funny and of course you can't have a british comedy shows thread without mentioning The Black Adder , Hugh (House ) Laurie was in that from black adder two to black adder goes forth . Hopefully soon here in new zealand we have house back on our screens

[ausgirl]

I LOVE Fawlty Towers, if I am having a downer of a day, I stick that in, always makes me laugh.

One could consider the old Doctor Who series comedies if you pay close attention to the 'special effects'!!

Monty Python & (I know I"m a bad boy) Benny Hill are my favorite British Comedies. There's a Benny Hill collection with all of his shows available on DVD that I'd like to get.....














I guess I'm a bad boy for likin' B.H., eh? :eek: :eek:

[pamcharlie]

What about the two ronnies, The young ones and yes the old dr who special effects are silly looking by today's standards .

The new dr who series is first rate and with some funny moments

Yep you are - I personally can't stand that type of crude 'humour'.

[pamcharlie]

I agree I don't like benny hill too crude

How about that show open all hours very funny, and some mothers do have them my dad didn't like that show i don't either.

But i do like Chef the crazy things that happen in restuarants and of course father tedd those funny priests in ireland .

Don't worry, Tony, haven't seen a LOT of the Benny Hills, they were usually aired too late for me to stay up (she says as she's typing this at 12:30am, LOL), but the few I saw I thought were hilarious. :cool:

I've not actually watched a whole lot of Monty Python, the series, but do tend to like the movies, particularly Holy Grail and - and this might make me worse than you on the "bad" scale - Life of Brian. :eek: :P

Does the old BBC series Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy count as a comedy? I know I've definitely laughed my way through a few of those episodes. :D

[lilmikey]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Bean yet

[Tony Trout]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Bean yet



Mr. Bean ROCKS!!!!

[EmmoGomer]

It's so funny. You all like to watch our English comedies and we like to watch the US ones. Ironic me thinks.

Yes the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy does count so funny, great taste, life of brian don't worry and the holy grail is great too.

Mr Bean Totally Rocks

[The Unknown Gomer]

I completely forgot about Mr. Bean. I've never watched the series, but have seen both movies of his. He's just so bizarre. Hilarious. :D

Hey, what about that series Creature Comforts, that was originally a British thing that we eventually did our own version of over here, that lasted all of maybe two or three episodes. THAT was funny.

Creature Comforts are by the clever company that produce the funny Wallace and Grommitt .

I fancy some cheese Grommitt.
