Which do you think is better?

Which do you think is the better comedy at their best?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Peep show, although "The thick of it" is great satire. 

[Arl arse]

The thick of it for me

[Jairzinho]

I like The Peep Show, quite a lot. Easily one of the top five comedies of the last 15 or so years. But it's nowhere near as good as The Thick of It.

What Jairz said.

 

I can probably quote episodes of the Thick of It line by line at this stage.

I'd say the gap is really small. I don't think any episode of The Thick of it matches Mark's wedding to Sophie, for instance.

You're perfectly entitled to your completely incorrect view.

I am the fucking loop.

[Hooch]

I can't choose. It's a dead heat.

[Frankenhooker]

I'll vote when I'm on my laptop, it'll be for The Thick Of It. Both shows are fantastic, but only one has Malcolm Tucker.

[Spy Bee]

I voted Peep Show, but I have never seen itToI!

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Peep Show by a whisker. Both great shows though.

Mark: 'The drinking Jeremy, it's not become a problem has it?'

 

Jez: The drinking? Don't knock the drinking. It was when I was drinking I came up with my plan about Stu.'

 

Mark: 'Whats you're plan?'

 

'Jez: I'm gonna hit him'

 

'Mark: That's not really a plan as such'

 

Jez: 'Yes it is. I plan to hit him. What's not a plan about that?"

[Kevin D]

When Mark realises he's accidentally fallen in love it's Big Suze:

 

'Oh, my God, I've fallen in love with her.

 

Of course.

 

Brilliant.

 

How incredibly predictable.

 

What a total fucking dope.

[Tony Moanero]

I've never seen The Thick of it but have seen the film, which I didn't really enjoy. I like Peep Show but never got around to watching the last two or three series.

[Sut]

I've never seen either. But I have seen the Two Ronnies, so I'm voting for Only Fools and Horses.

That a damning indictment of the shit that's been churned out for the last 15 years.

[VladimirIlyich]

Having only seen bits of both shows I would say The Thick of it is streets ahead as I never found any of those Peep Show sketches funny. Peep Show is the one with Mitchell and Webb isnt it? I hate that Webb fella.

I agree.

Peep Show doesn't have sketches. You are possibly thinking of That Mitchell and Webb Look, which did.

 

The Thick of it is better than Peep Show but it's better than most things.

"One of the many things that baffles me about you is that you remain unmurdered."

[stringvest]

I love them both, and I would have both series in my top 10, but Peep Show was more variable in quality - the Thick Of It, by a neck.

When I see or hear anyone moaning about how TV, or film, or music has been shit for the last x years it rather makes me wonder how little effort they have put into checking out the good stuff. And what a ridiculously inflated view of the past they must have.

There is an increasing mountain of shite to get through to find the gems in music nowadays and because of the kind of stuff that is considered the mainstream and how difficult it is to find people (myself included) will stick to what we know,which is inevitably oldies.

I agree with you regarding film and music. The problem is that almost every "big film", or band/artist on the radio, is shite, so you do have to dig for it. But it is there, fucking loads of it, especially if you aren't limiting yourself to just American and British films and music.

 

Not sure I agree regarding TV, but then for me it's not really a case that stuff used to be a lot better, I just don't find many programs particularly interesting/entertaining/funny.
