| We're all a little mad! EC Moderator   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Las Vegas Age: 24 Posts: 5,551 Join Date: Jan 2008 |  British Comedies I'm not sure if a thread has already been made on this, but who else here is a fan of British Comedies?  My two favorites are: Are You Being Served? and Keeping Up Appearances.

0118 99 9881 999 119 7253
Absolutely Fabulous is Absolutely Fabulous
Outnumbered is also brilliant, I love it so much
That Mitchell and Webb Look is a sketch show but it's still hillarious
School of Comedy; The world war 2 lesbians are hilarious, I can't find the best clip though, it must have got taken down 
Victoria Wood is a genius! Parody of Awful soap operas.
There was also a show called 'The Comic Strip Presents; 5 Go Made in Dorset' where it's a parody of The Famous 5 books but they're really inappropriate and racist (which the original books where a little bit...)

I'm also a fan of Death at a Funeral (the original 2007 version, not the 2010 remake) and quite enjoyed it when I watched it and rewatched it later. And of course, Monty Python. Do I need to say more?

Location: East Midlands Posts: 80 Join Date: Aug 2011 | Re: British Comedies I used to like Keeping Up Appearances and Birds of a Feather when I was younger but don't like them much now - probably because the BBC has repeated them ad nauseam for decades.
Dad's Army is probably the best "old" British comedy. The Inbetweeners is the best new comedy. | |||

| EC Addict Full Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Winnipeg, MB, Canada Age: 26 Posts: 542 Join Date: Oct 2007 | Re: British Comedies I don't watch a lot of British comedies. Monty Python was one of my favourites and when I was a kid I was a huge fan of Mr. Bean. This scene sticks out in my mind for some reason. I'll set it up because the clip doesn't show everything. Mr. Bean and his girlfriend were walking down the street and the girlfriend pointed to a ring in a shop window and hinted that she wanted it for Christmas. Invariably Mr. Bean screws it up and thinks she pointed to something else. The clip starts during their romantic Christmas dinner and they exchange gifts.

And of course their talk shows, like Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Graham Norton (and sometimes Top Gear) are all excellent as well. |

| EC Addict Full Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Almost there Location: West Midlands Age: 20 Posts: 513 Join Date: May 2011 | Re: British Comedies I love various British sitcoms, the majority of my DVD Collection consists of them. That being said, as much as I want to include QI, Little Britain and Monty Python and the like, they're panel shows and sketch shows not sitcoms, so they're not included. There are still some I really want to get into like Spaced and Black Books, but that's for a time when they're cheap. However (and I'm surprised Only Fools and Horses and Porridge haven't been mentioned in particular): Only Fools and Horses Blackadder One Foot in the Grave Fawlty Towers Mr Bean Porridge Dad's Army Men Behaving Badly Open All Hours * Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em * Keeping Up Appearances My Family - The Inbetweeners (Peter Kay's) Phoenix Nights Peep Show Garth Marenghi's Darkplace The Vicar of Dibley Dinnerladies The Good Life Lead Balloon Not Going Out * In limited watches. - Good to a certain point where the quality gets worse There are some sitcoms that are popular, yet I think are awful, like Gavin and Stacey and Outnumbered, but oh well.
