I was waiting for these comments, they're always there when you say that tripe like Mrs Browns Boys and The Inbetweeners is a complete load of guff. You're a prude, you do t like swearing blah blah blah.

Anyone who knows me, or has heard me speak, will know that those two comments are as far away from the truth as you ca get. I like comedy to be funny people, rather than people trying to be funny. Have an old woman swearing or talking about sex is boring imo, and it plays on the whole issue of how low general society is at the moment.

Obsessed with reality shows, taking inspiration from nobodys, thinking that because something is happening, or being said, by a certain type of person, then it's hilariously funny. The advertisers seem to have an obsession with things being said or done by old people, because it's really funny isn't it, if an old persons says or does something that normal old people wouldn't. No it's not, it's lazy and about as funny as drowning yourself.

The way that people (usually 40+) react when you tell them that it's not funny, is one of horror, where they start trying to make personal attacks about your moral attitude. The whole situation is very odd.
 
+1 for phoenix nights fantastic series which also spun off to max n paddy, also on the list for me would be open all hours, porridge and Rising Damp.

Calm down mate :tounge_smile: it is a thread about humour and what makes us laugh, you are always going to get one person loving a programme that the next man hates it is just life

I'm also a huge Ricky gervais fan I know he's not everyones but I think he's a very clever comedy actor and the office was fantastic.
 
One of my faves: The Green Green Grass - Season 3, Episode 1, But is it art?


After admiring the portraits of former occupants of a stately home he has visited with Marlene, Boycie declared a desire to have his own likeness painted in oils. Elgin is kicked out by his wife and moves in with Bryan in his caravan. But when the caravan burns down Marlene lets them stay in the house. Boycie is not happy, but to show their gratitude, his staff arrange for him to have his portrait painted by renowned local artist Genevieve Klunge. But unknown to Boycie she is only used to paintings cows. He then stages accidents in an attempt to destroy the painting. But the painting keeps surviving…lol.

An odd question, but what is the time from radio 4? Looking at duel tariffs and when they change high to low rate?
