    I've rewatched UK Shameless and also a season or two of Skins. Many repeated laughs!

    Rewatching some classic British comedies at the moment. Blackadder

    was earlier now up to Father Ted.
    Fuck that is a funny show, genuine classic. Gotta love the unique slapstick laughs and how they take the piss out of the Catholic Church. Every priest you encounter throughout the series is unique and fucked up in some way.
    Gotta love Father Jack too (“more waster”, as he rightly says during a wet t shirt contest dream..)

    Love father ted eh!

    Actually tried to watch some monty python over the xmas break and couldnt work out how I use to find it funny

    Python has dated badly save for the odd sketch.

    Yeah I heard all about it when I was a kid , then I ended up having a mate who was obsessed with it and we watched a lot in the holidays . I thought it was mostly tedious, “ no one expects the Spanish Inquisition “ yeah , ok . Fuckoff .

    Watched Fawlty Towers again last year, has its moments but basically it’s a show about a tall obnoxious prick yelling a lot and hitting his incompetent Spanish employee.
    Some British comedies are too dry for their own good.

    'Are you being served' is still a fucken good laugh.

    I've decided John Cleese is a bit of a strange bloke after reading various bits and pieces about him. Didn't get laid until the age of 24.

    At the Station Hotel in Beach Road

    Python was always hit and miss but it was revolutionary at the time so you accepted that 2/3 were meh for the couple of skits that were gold.

    We are talking 50 years ago. Whilst it was very Oxbridge it was up against the likes of Morecambe and Wise and On the Buses. The likes of Blackadder and the Young Ones and a lot else that came later probably wouldn't exist without Python. It's just that what was new is now passe and more than a bit lame

    You referenced all those classic old comedy shows but no mention of Love Thy Neighbour. Shame.

    On the busses was classic? We used to get lots of excruciatingly bad British comedies when I was a kid , if today’s woke kids are offended by Friends I’d love to see what they make of Mind your language.

    Seeing as how I referenced Love Thy Neighbour, the term classic may have been tongue in cheek. Or irony as you would not understand.

    Being a Kiwi and all.

    Oh fuck do I have to explain everything?

    @jegga twitter would have a melt down with the likes of Sid James Kenneth Williams et al

    SJW's heads explode at the mere mention of the Carry On franchise or heavens forbid the Black and White Minstrels

    @Catogrande bastard now I can't get the Love Thy Neighbours theme out of my head. You talking to me snowflake hur hur hur

    Watched the Father Ted episode lastnight where they enter a look a like contest. His long standing rival Father DICK burns and co were the supremes.. complete with ‘black face’

    @MN5 I watched a few episodes, largely pants, but one ep had a scene that was farking hilarious, but it was more an ad-lib scene and most of the people on screen were struggling not to laugh....cant recall what it was about, but I watched a few eps after that with high hopes...

    I'd rather have my japs eye swabbed again than watch that show.

    One of the benefits of the poms joining the EU and some distance opening up culturally between us was a tailing off of the awful cheaply made "comedies" that used to infest our screens. I'm talking shit like hi de hi or metal mickey or whatever that show was with mr blobby in it.

    I found out a couple of years ago they made a blobby theme park, not surprisingly is a post apocalyptic wreck now.

    Ms Cato No 1 was a huge Mr Blobby fan and we were therefore forced to visit Crinkly Bottom, seeing as how it was only around half an hour away from us. This was at the height of Blobbymania and the fat pink bastard was everywhere. However not at Mr Blobbyland, there was fuck all in the way of rides or attractions but there were, from memory some murals and a couple of short walks we could go on. Oh and a fair few stalls selling useless tat. The latter Chernobyl fallout was not entirely unexpected and certainly not undeserved.

    @jegga Love Thy Neighbour is forever linked with smug happiness for me due to something that occurred on my Nephew's stag night. He worked in media and most of the other guys there were real "right on" types. The forerunners of todays SJWs. We were in some Italian restaurant (yeah that sort of stag night) and the round table discussion was on UK TV and how awful it was etc etc. The Black & White Minstrel show was brought up and then as proof of the UK's dire racism, up came LTN. I agreed that even back in the day it was crass and racist (towards both black and white but that was dismissed, you can't be racists towards whites). Someone asked who were the actors and I (being thoroughly pissed off with these piston wristed gibbons) replied Jack Smethurst, oh and some wog. I knew perfectly well who the actor was, Rudolph Walker, who was actually not a bad actor but the meltdown from all the media types was great to see. made my night.

    I've rewatched UK Shameless and also a season or two of Skins. Many repeated laughs!

    Rewatching some classic British comedies at the moment. Blackadder

    was earlier now up to Father Ted.
    Fuck that is a funny show, genuine classic. Gotta love the unique slapstick laughs and how they take the piss out of the Catholic Church. Every priest you encounter throughout the series is unique and fucked up in some way.
    Gotta love Father Jack too (“more waster”, as he rightly says during a wet t shirt contest dream..)

    Love father ted eh!

    Actually tried to watch some monty python over the xmas break and couldnt work out how I use to find it funny

    Python has dated badly save for the odd sketch.

    Yeah I heard all about it when I was a kid , then I ended up having a mate who was obsessed with it and we watched a lot in the holidays . I thought it was mostly tedious, “ no one expects the Spanish Inquisition “ yeah , ok . Fuckoff .

    Watched Fawlty Towers again last year, has its moments but basically it’s a show about a tall obnoxious prick yelling a lot and hitting his incompetent Spanish employee.
    Some British comedies are too dry for their own good.

    'Are you being served' is still a fucken good laugh.

    I've decided John Cleese is a bit of a strange bloke after reading various bits and pieces about him. Didn't get laid until the age of 24.

    At the Station Hotel in Beach Road

    Python was always hit and miss but it was revolutionary at the time so you accepted that 2/3 were meh for the couple of skits that were gold.

    We are talking 50 years ago. Whilst it was very Oxbridge it was up against the likes of Morecambe and Wise and On the Buses. The likes of Blackadder and the Young Ones and a lot else that came later probably wouldn't exist without Python. It's just that what was new is now passe and more than a bit lame

    You referenced all those classic old comedy shows but no mention of Love Thy Neighbour. Shame.

    On the busses was classic? We used to get lots of excruciatingly bad British comedies when I was a kid , if today’s woke kids are offended by Friends I’d love to see what they make of Mind your language.

    Seeing as how I referenced Love Thy Neighbour, the term classic may have been tongue in cheek. Or irony as you would not understand.

    Being a Kiwi and all.

    Oh fuck do I have to explain everything?

    I was trying to avoid offending you , having read your posts it’s possible you saw love thy neighbour as high art

    More social commentary really

    I'd rather have my japs eye swabbed again than watch that show...

    You seem to have brushed over this statement somewhat.

    One of the benefits of the poms joining the EU and some distance opening up culturally between us was a tailing off of the awful cheaply made "comedies" that used to infest our screens. I'm talking shit like hi de hi or metal mickey or whatever that show was with mr blobby in it.

    I found out a couple of years ago they made a blobby theme park, not surprisingly is a post apocalyptic wreck now.

    You have obviously not travelled west of France. Or seen TV shows from west of France.

    Or both,.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    Don’t the French put tits in PG rated shows though ?

    You've never had that done?

    I know it was still common practice in the UK less than 10 years ago...thankfully medicine has moved on in that time.

    Is anyone else watching Kingdom? Took me a couple of episodes to get into it but I like where it’s going . The over dubbing is on a par with the original Monkey sometimes though .
